NsW Fork Rogues.-The latest ruse of these industrious gentry was perpetraed on Sunday, The 20ih ult., and is thus related in New York letter to ihe Philadelphia Inquirer:
 IL appears that one of he fraternity has gone around to all the trunk makers and purchased trunks secured by new patent locks. which cannot be opened exept by their proper keys. These trunks he would direct the maker 10 send to room No 10, Astor House, room No. D, Irving House, room No 50, Franklin House, and so on through the whole list of our hotels.
 He gave card purporting 10 be his address, endorsed on 1t drectoa to the hotel keeper to nay the bearer the price-snd then put the key in his pocket, saying all was right, In this way the industrious rascal obtained possession Of nnmber Of keys fitting those patent locks, and forthwith he went to practice his profession and enjoy the fruits oi this new discovery. His first field of operations was the living House. Aiter taking board in that establishment, he surveyed the traaks of the boar, CTS, and finding one with patent lock, he applied the key and opened it immediately. His booty amounted to $500 in genuine Bentoniah mint-drops He next went to the Astor. and raised about $50 How many more hotels he visited deponent saith not.
