Warning to Passionate People
We have heard Of persons dying in fl
of passion, blu. we never saw an Illus
ttation of it until Saturday last. A
white female, who had long led life
of infamy, fell downin one of the streets
OF this city, on that day, after passing
through a storm Of the passions, and
died in very short time after being
taken to her lodgings. 1t is supposed
blood vessel was rupturedin her rag

We have since heard of the death oil
mulatto woman, on the same day, q

more American ofSaturday last says:
No small degree Of establishment q
regret pervaded this community yes

through the city, that the editor Of the
Baltimore Gazette, WILLIAM GwYNN
JONES, had been arrested yesterday
morning on the charge Of having rob-
bed the Post Office ofietters contain
ing enclosures of money. Subsequent
inquiries, we are panied to state, proved

of them could testify to the fact Of
having seen him take the letters, il
was deemed prudent TO await further
developments. Yesterday morning
Mr.. Jones again entered the Pos
Office for his papers, and was seen
by clerk who was on the watch &c
take large double letter, the address
Of which had been previously noted
He also was seen to take from the
table five entire packages of southern

proceeding to his own office was ar
rested by deputy marshal who had
been in waiting for the purpose. The
double letter, and also the entire
packages containing from SO to 100
4 letters, were found in his possession
He subsequently made admissions
which show the purloining ofupwards
of thousand dollars from letters at
