travellers some Of the steamers plying to and

thieves who infest these boats under tho guise Of
cattle men. Some OF these men find it to their
interest to travel in the latter capacity. their
passage is paid for the round trip and it is their
return journey to this city that they play such
havoc with the unsuspecting eIngrants. Quite
number of these men came here the steamship
Australia of the Anchor line which arrived the 7th
inst who, while on the voyage, robbed quite num-
ber of the passengers by picking the locks of many Of
the trunks that were being used by them and steal
ing theretrom both money and clothing. and in one
instance. where the lock could not be picked, the
trunk violently forced and some valuable things
taken therefrom. During last Saturday night, while
the vessel lay in the river, my own trunk
opened and small bag taken the refrom containing
Ave sovereigns and some jewelry. and as the lock
was of a superior make, conclude that the opera
