CAPTURE OF A NOTORIOUS GANG.

Toww-HALL.—This gang, so long the' pest and terror of
the neighbourhood of Bermondsey, Newington, &c. received on
Thursday night a complete rout. Three days since a young girl
of respectable parents who had absconded from them the evening
before, was found by Kinsey, the officer, in a brothel of the
lowest description in Kent-street in the Borough, in company
with the most abandoned wretches of both sexes, and was taken
before the Magistrate; but in spite of every effort she refused to
return home, and was discharged, there being no other charge
against her. In consequence of this circumstance, and the nu-
merous and accumulating robberies of late, the premises were
placed under strict surveillance for the purpose of bringing to
Justice the lawless gang, and cleansing the Augean stable; and
last night Kinsey and Samuel Giles, of the Bow-street Police,
and others, succeeded in surprising the gang in the act of assort-
ing plunder, newly brought in, Of which the officers took pos-
session after securing the leaders and their companions, nine
in number; namely, William Carter, Benjamin Rawlins, Wm.
Coleman, John Oliver, John Foster, Elizabeth Holloway,
Mary Oliver, Mary Britton, Sarah Foster, and the wretched
girl before mentioned. Among the property. found is a valuable
time-piece, several books on religious subjects,richly bound,
and among them a snuff-box of papier machee in imitation of
the book of Common Prayer, and lettered on the back, "Crumbs
of Comfort."--:All the parties are committed for further exa-
mination to give time for the property to be claimed.

WEYMOUTH, JAN. 15.--On Monday morning
last the New Bridge was thrown open to the
public, and as early as four o'clock Mr. P."G.
SCOTT drove over the Magnet coach, the four
high-mettled horses being
decorated with ribands
H
entwined with evergreen. e had the honour of
paying the first accustomed
toll. Next followed
two wagons fully ladenwith strong beer, fron
Col. Bower's brewery at Dorchester. The firm
ness of the fabric is evident from the stifle(
sound which is heard when vehicles are passim
over the centre arch. Many good judges 01
architecture have expressed unreserved

enco

....-
miums on the whole builditig,--fo; beauty, sym-
metry, and solidity. It
is undoubtedly a great
and useful ornament to the town, and we antici-
pate that the drives towards Wylie and Portland,
will be more. frequent than they have ever been
displayed in the iron
known. The mechanism
swing entitles Mr. Jones, of Bristol, to our highest
praise. The facility with which vessels will be
enabled to pass through is a great accommodation
to those trading to this port. Indeed, on sur-
veying the whole,
we feel it a duty again to re-
vert to the ability and ingenuity displayed by G.
Moneypenny,-Esci-, the engineer, and D. Macin-
tosh,' EN. the contractor.

The following are the particulars of the at-
tempt to assassinate Mr. Nagle, as stated in our
lives at Ballinacar, Barony
last :.--" Mr. Nagle
of Coshma. He had gone to his estate, near
Ferrnoy, to receive his rents, and on his return
to his house he was attacked at his hall-door by
Sullivan and Meehan, for the purpose of robbery
and murder. A most deserving resolute woman

(Anne Adderley) leaped out of a two-story high
window, and called assistance, one of whom
ran for three Police fyom the town, who cap-.
turgid the two culprits, on being pointed out to
them. It was under Providence, by this girl's
exertionS the diabolical murder was prevented ;
avid Eyre Evans, .Esq. -was enabled to commit to
the county gaol these ' two wretches. Every
praise is due to the Police for their exertions on
the occasion."—(Limerick Chronicle.)
CHANCELLOR TREYOR.—TREVOR, Lord Chan-
cellor of England in the reign of CHARLES the
SECOND, was mud"' to a second wife with the
consent of the first. lie and his two wives lived
perfectly happy for many years ; and, when he
died, his wives lived together for some years,:
strictly united in the bonds of friendship.
A BULL.—A Classical Attorney, late of this
city, describing certain Premisses, in a Lease
which he was employed to fill, inserts " hound-
ed by the' North by a wall, which is to be built,
by the Lessee within forty days from the date of
these Presents."—(Cork Mercantile Chronicle.)
FossiL REMAINS.-Every day produces some
additional evidence of the existence of the ele-
phant and other quadrupeds of the larger class,
in this Island, at some very remote period, in all
probability anterior to the deluge. The fossil
remains of the head of an elephant, the bones of
which prove it to have belonged to an animal
nearly double the size of the' present species, was
lately dug up from-Solway Moss, and has been
presented to
.the Philosophical Society of Leeds.
