 Caution to IrduellerS.-The Iron Safe of the steam boat Chancellor Livingston, on her last trip from New-Y York, on Thursday night was entered by a false key which was left in the lock. and large leather bag containing money, belonging to firm in New-York, (Messrs. J. Ward & Co.) was taken out and supposed tO be robbed. The bag was direct ed to Messrs. Dana, FennO & Boles, of this city, and contained about twenty thousand dollars. The agent of the boat, on entering the Clerks office, discovered the door of the safe. om and presumed it might be so from neglect; but on assurance from the clerk that it was shut when he retired, an examination was made, when it was found that several packages that contained money and other yaluablcs, were not stOlen, but that the above mentioned bag was gone, and the thief being alarmed probably deserted his spoil. The captain of the boat communicated with some of the passengers bound there in the boat.- After this notification was given at break f Ea1- N baggage of the passengers would be made, which was agreed to; but while preparation was making for the purpose, the missing bag was found thrown on deck behind some boxes of freight. It was locked and appeared not to have been opened; but as suspicion rested upon some of the passengers, it was thought prudent 10 open it. when money to a large amount was found apparently in the state in l which it was received-at the request of one of the gentlemen on board strict examina- ton was then proposed, and was made by a committee appointed by the captain and | agreed to by the rest of the passengers.- Nothing was found, however, to justify the l arrest of any individuals. but certain circum- stances appeared to make il prudent to give
 the preceding caution to travellers and those
 who receive and send money. The false key i TrITInfrs -~.~t. A;.~ Ae-nt nf Aha hnat, and if Further information is requested it may be ob-

 4 fearless saCiMmer-A case has been in examination before :he U Unitcd States District Court, now in session here, which exhibits recklessness of death and of danger but sel- dom eqnalled. James Riding, a seaman. be- tween whom and his captain considerable diff
 iculty had existed in consequence of certain mutinous conduct, formed determination tc leave the ship, which. at the time, was in the port of Trieste. He was prevented from deserting while in port. by being put into close confinement, and not placed on board until the moment of sailing. The ship went out of the harhor of Trieste towards evening the next morning Riding was missing, and all conjecture as to his probable fate was unsatis- Factory. He was known tO have been a ven turesome sailor, and an expert swimmer !; hut that he should voluntarily throw himself over board tn the night, when there was scarcely possibility of his escaping immediate drown lng' was height of rashness. which it was supposed he would not venture. The Gulf of Venice, where the ship then was, is re-
 markable for rapid and strong current against which it would be impossible for the
 most athletic powers long 10 hold out; and the impression became general among the crew, that they should see their messn,ate no more.
 Nothing was heard of Riding, until some time after news came that seaman floating down the gulf on spar. had been picked up on the morning above alluded to, by a Vcne- tan coaster He had survived nine hours in the water with nothing to sustain him hut this slender spar The case in Court was brought to recover his wages.-Bost.

 RATs-A gentleman whose country house was made very uncomfortable by rats, who had tired all the usual modes of getting rid oi mem without any sensible effect, was at 'ast suddenly and unexpectedly freed from them by the following means :-In garrct. which seemed to be the favorte place of as. sembIy, be one evening had number of l'nes and fish hooks suspended from the coup les; the hooks reached within few inches of the floor, and were baited with bits of meat. cheese, &c., on the following morning nearly every hook had its victim suspended by its mouth, and partly resting on it's hind feet. I, would appear from the result. that this has infused general terror into the colony, as rom that day no rat was seen in any part of the house. We trust this gentleman has oeen returned to Parliament at this general election, as he may. in St. Stephens Chanel. Oe aoie to arrange his bait in such manner as sna.
