POLICE.  MARLBOROUGII•BTREET.-•( The Rescue Gang.)— Yesterday, the whole of the fellows concerned in the attack upon Marsden, the jailor, and rescuing the prisoners, were re-examined before the Nlagistrates, J. E. CONANT and G.TARRANT, Esqrs. but nothing material has been elicited against the prisoners, except their own contradictions, and the evidence founded on the belief of several witnesses, that some of them were present at the outrageous attack. The Office wa:s crowded to excess, and the street opposite was filled with persons anxious to view the prisoners On being brought up, they were heavily ironed. They were remanded until Thursday next.—Ann Mackay was privately examined, charged on suspicion of being the young woman who was seen whispering to the prisoners prior to the rescue being made. She underwent a long examination, but nothing, particular was adduced to implicate her. She was ordered to be detained, until further inquiries shall have 'been made.—The prisoners were locked up until the even, ing, when they were chained together, and placed in hackney-coaches to be taken to the House of Correction. An immensity of prostitutes assembled round the Office door for the purpose of meeting them, and the prisoners behaved in the most hardened manner, laughing and joking with each other, and embracing the females who were about the Office door.  Bow-ST itErr.—Wednesday, Mary Baker, the gipsy woman who was apprehended by Lavender, . the 13:,w-street officer, encamped with other gipsies between Wendover and Chesham, was conveyed from Maidstone prison to TnnbridgeWells, to be examined before the Magistrates, the witnesses being there ; when she was identified by a female servant, who was corroborated by another witness, as being the wonian who applied to her to write the direction on the basket which contained the poisoned plum-podding, and which purported to be sent from Rowland Castle. Another woman (a gipsy), previously in custody, was proved to have purchased the articles at Tunbridge Wells, which the basket contained.— Both these women were committed for trial, on a charge of having murdered the two men in Maidstone-prisci.—Proudly alias Pearce, a gipsy, belonging to the gang, was committed for horse-stealing.  Monday, the Seven Incorporations of Dumiries presentel the Freedom of the whole Incorporations to Dr. GEORGE MingßO, Kector of the Grammar School, as a testimony of their respect for his talents and abilities as a teacher, and for the integrity and respectability of his private character. Sunday se'nnight, the body of alad, who had for some time travelled the country as a chapman or pedlar, was found near Ettrick-pen, Parish of Eskdalemuir, and County of Dumfries. From the appearance of the body, little doubt can be entertained that the deceased had perished by a violent death, and suspicion attaches to an Irishman, who had been seen in company with him about a week before. The deceased, while going his accustomed rounds in a thinlypeopled district, and carrying the news and necessarie; of the town to the solitudes of the country, was beset by a ruffian, and at once deprived of his property and his life. In such a situation, it was in rain that he struggled hard for existence, and loudly called on human aid; his cries were span lost amidst the solitudes of the country, so lonely and excluded that even a week. had elapsed before any human. being had been made aware of his fate.
