COMMITTAL OF A GANG OF .BURGLARS.—YeSter'
day a gang of burglars and receivers of stolen goods,
who, it is believed, have for years infested the beer
part of Essex and the evtijoiningi borders of Suffolk,
especially about Halstead, were examined before the
county magistrates. The number of the gang in eui-
tody amounted to fourteen, some,of whom were of
respectable connexions, one being a farmer and another
a shopkeeper in the town -of Halstead. The circum-
stances which led to the discovery of ,the gang were
these:—Several burglaries having lately.:been committed
in the neighbourhood, a sharp watch Ives kept upon
several suspected characters in the district by the police,
and these having been often observed at a beer shop
kept by a man named Gooding, it was resolved to
search the premises; this was done by order of the
magistrates, and various articles of property, whiell
had been stolen from dfferent houses broken into,
were found. The keeper of the bonsai was thee
taken into custody, and a— man named Bryant
was also apprehended. The latter, .who was
a sort of leader of the gang, then disclosed to: the police
the whole of their combinations and proceedings, and in
particular he named a farmer a short distance .off, named
Gould, as one of the general receivers. His ;,premises
were accordingly searched, and in his house and,amongss
the stacks and outbuildings in his farmyarcLa large
quantity of stolen property was found. The farmer was
accordingly taken into custody. The house of :a shop'
keeper in the neighbourhood, named Jackson,..,7as also
searched on the information of Bryant; there e large
bulk of the plunder of the gang was found, and,Lhe oc-
cupier was captured. Another leader of the robber:.
named Edwards, was secured, and as. the police pursued
their inquiries, which have been going on for the last
fortnight, member after member of the gang Op into
their hands, till ultimately they had from 12 to rs. Ia
four or five cases of burglary the offence was clear])
traced to two of the prisoners, Bryant and Edwardlr, who
were committed for trial on the different ehargbs, and
much of the property. was found in -the possession of
Gould, the farmer, and Jackson, the shopkeeper', 00'
w,tre also sent for trial as receivers.

CANADIAN WINTER,-..WONDNRFUL PRESERVATION'
—On the 10th of February last, at one in the nibrning.
as the sleigh four horse stage coach from Upper-Canada
was.proceeding down to Montreal, with passengers and
the mail, the roads being glazed over with ice at a de-
clivity on the road, about 16 miles from,iNlontreal, the
sleigh with its passengers was precipitated dceentinto the
rapid stream of the river St. Lawrence, dragging the
Touffiorses along with it. The passengers ellananaged
to scramble'out but one, a Mr. Russel, from'Stirling, in
Scotland, who managed only to get on thestop of the
coach, which getting disentangled from the horses,
floated
,down the dark freezing stream. Mr. 'tessera
life was given up as lost, for the wind blew vary strung,
and the frost was extremely severe. However, at day-
light the following morning the sleigh was discovered
three miles below where the catastrophe happened,
slowly floating down the stream, and a party of bout•
men with canoes were sent in search of the mail; and
un making up to the coach their attention•rvas drawn to
a large piece of ice resting on the top the vehicle,
which they began to think might contain something
within it, so they began to chip off the, ,ice with their
axes, when lo I to their utter consternation, they dis-
covered poor Mr. Russel perfectly encased within the
ice. Their first ingression was that he had been frozen
to death, but on clearing him of the icy covering they
thought they discovered motion in hislips, and had hint
immediately coLveyed to a house not very far off, where
he soon acquired perfect consciousness. He was eight
hours pelted with spray and water, which froze as suet►
as it touched him, and so completely cased him in.
Thera are hopes of his li:e being saved, but bath of his
hands and one of his legs will require to be amputated.
Mr. Russel is a native of Stirlingsfiire, fruits whence he
emigrated sotce yt s ago, and bja suceessfel course of
industry has accumulated a large fortune as a road and
laud contractor. He is much respected by his country-
men in Canada, and his misfortehe is deeply deplored.
