Forty-four prisoners were before the United States Marshal in New York yesterday charged with running the blockade at Mobile, on board the steamers Alice and Crescent. They were brought to New York by the steamer Hendrik Hudson. Among the party are Major Borland, of General Slaughter’s staff, a nephew of General Kirby Smith, and of Wm. Ballard Preston, of Virginia, and Carlo Patti, a brother of the charming Adelina. Such of them as are foreigners were discharged, and the remainder were sent to Fort Lafayette.
