COINERS ARRESTED—One of the most extensive gangs of coiners that ever infested any country, and whose connection extends, it is feared, to persons in the most respectable classes of society, has just been broken up at Farnham, Canada, as we learn from the Montreal Transcript. Four of the parties connected with the gang are now in Montreal jail, and several others escaped, after being arrested, or absconded on hearing that their confederates were taken. The names of the men in jail are Wm. H. Clough, John M'Carty, Chas. Jasmin, and Wm. Foran.
