IF there is any particular character
which mark, the disease Of this our eli
mate, at this moment, it is that OF a light
grade of bilious fever, and indeed the
cases wnsn compared with those of other
seasons are very few. Wheaever they
have proved fatal it has been when the
patient has resisted the advice OF ex-
psrienced physicians, and even governed
more by the cravings OF the appetite
than the regimen, which has not in one
single instance failed to abats the fever.

MAIL ROBBERY.


The following is the plan which was lad oJ
Mr.. SHORE, for the detection OF the rob-
berries to the south, and the circumstances
which grew out OF it:
Eight or ten pieces of silk paper, the size
of bank note. together with two dollar
North Carolina note. (marked) were enclos-
ed to merchants in Raleigh, (Messrs. r. and
W, Harrison) and mailed with letters tor
Warrenton, and enclosed in bill tor that OF
Gee, as if by mistake. The precautIon OF
sealing it with sealing wax was Observed
The letter being thus improperly mailed
afforded 6ne opportunity to those disposed,
10 effect a robbery with impuniiy; tor as
,oon as it was ascertained that the letter did
rot reach Raleigh, suspicion would have at
tached to Petersburg and Raleigh. This
plan was tried at Warrenton, and failed
the second attempt was at Louisburg, n. Z.
which succeeded beyond Mr.. Shores most
sanguine expectations.
The letter was sent on the 9Th inst. and
Mr. Shore went off in person to Louisburg on

the account Of mails sent, the postage to

offered to account for this, by aledging that
he had sent the letter down to Hillsborough,
&C. Mr.. Shore. not satisfied with the ex.
cuse. commenced an examination OF his
