nornr.ruEs AT TUE GENERAL POST-OVFICE

Bow-mu:Pa....4m. some time put complaints
have ken made, that a great number tit letters
have not come to hand, and particularly those
which contained notes and bills remitted front the
,country, and directed to the Mile-end district.—
The Mile-end district is divided among seven let-
ter-carriers, who deliver the letters. They of
course attend every morning at the General Post.
,Office, at an ea .h rlvour; and after the regular
starters have sorted the letters, which arrive by the
twills, to be delivered to the Mile-end District,
they are handed to the seven letter-carriers be-
! longing to that district, who re-sort them accord-
ing to their walks.. No suspicions falling on,any
one Of them, and the robberies continuing to be
committed, it was detertnined to have a general
search of the seven letter-carriers, and Mondtoj
morning was the time fixed for that purpose; anti
just after they had wade up their different parcels
of letters for delivery, and were about to leave the
Post-office, Lavender and Taunton, the Bow-
street officers, were introduced to them. The of-
ficers informed them of the cause of their visit,
and that they must be under the disagreeable ne-
cessity of searching. their persons. The first man
Lavender commenced with was John Plumer,
who, at the time of his being searched,
trembled extremely, and was in a strong perspira-
tion; on this account Lavender made no doubt
but that he had begun with the right man,—
He found among his letters a double one, directed
do ,Nlrs. Davidson,- in End Terrace, on open-
ing Which, it proved to eunta'a a 101. country
note, and which letter Plumer had no right to
have in his possession, 'Mile End Terrace not be-

very much tumbled and dirtied, dated Newastle,

The prisoner wa., met by. Nichols and Lack, be-
longing to the office, a short distance ft;orn the:
carriage. Nichols observing something concealed'
under .his coat, and knowing his person,, seized
him, upon which the prisoner knocked him down,
and endeavoured to I.ireak the glass which vvas
under his coat, hilt succeeded only in brdaking a
piece oily, which unfortunately cut off the top of
ichol's second finger on his right hand. Lack
succeeded in securing the prisoner,_although at

Mr. Villiers attended; and identified the glass.—
