COUNIITTAL 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 lower
part of Essex and the adjoining borders of Suffolk,
especially about Halstead, were examined before the
county magistrates. The number of the gang in cus-
tody amounted to fourteen, some of whom were of
respectable connexions, ono 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, u sharp watch was 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, which
Ind been stolen from dfferent houses broken into,
were found. The keeper of the house was then
Wien into custody, and a man named Bryant
s also apprehended. The latter, who wo
* sort of leader of the gang, then disclosed to the police
the whole of their combinations and proceedings, and ill
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 amongst
the stacks and outbuildings in his farmyard a 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,
was also
searched on the information of Bryant; there a large
bulk of the plunder of the gang was found, and the oa-
cupier was captured. Another leader of the robbers.
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 fell into
their hands, till ultimately they had from 12 to 15. In
four or five cases of burglary the offence was clearly
traced to two of the prisoners, Bryant and Edwards, who
were committed for trial on the different charges, and
much of the property was found in the possession of
Gould, the farmer, and Jackson, the shopkeeper; they
were also sent for trial as receivers.

ROYAL ARTILLERY .—Woo I.wicu. —Captain Mit-
chell's conapany, the 10th battalion, was inspected et
ten o'clock, A.M., yesterday, at the Ordnance Hospital,
previous to leaving the garrison at Woolwich on Mon-
day next, April 3, to relieve Major Robe's company,
the 2d battalion, at Cheater and Tynemoutb, the latter
company being under orders to return to head-quarters,
as its turn is approaching to proceed on duty to $
foreign station. The guard mounting parades have com-
menced for the season, and the officers and men of the
Royal Artillery for duty at the Royal Arsenal, and the
(act rs and men of the Royal Marines for duty at the
Dockyard assemble in front of the Royal Artillery Bar-
racks at half-past nine o'clock every morning, with their
respective bands, and at ten o'clock march to the Ow"
appointed for duty, headed by their bands playing apPro`
priate airs. Three of the members of the committee ap
pointed by the House of Commons to examine the Ord-
nance estimates have visited the garrison, but the result
is not yet known.
DUNDEE TRADE.—The uncertain state of affairs
on the continent continuing to exercise a depressing
fiuence on our markets, we are sorry to be unable to re-
port any improvement either in flax, yarns, or linens.
Now, however, that prices of the former have been drives
so low, buyers seem to evince less reluctance to pur-
chase, especially good flax, of which the stock is now
much reduced. A vessel from Memel with fresh flax has
arrived at Arbroath ; the quality is variously repre-
sented, but we believe it is on the whole fair.—Dundee
Advertiser.
