Passengers on the many steamers making Kingston port of call have been more favored as far as can be , this year than last. Frequent were made last season of thefts in port. The thieves made "hay while the sun shone," by making a raid of the state- rooms on the side of the vessel far thest from the wharf, where she was tied up. Officers on those steamers, which remain in port for any length of time, und whose passengers get off to view the city, warn the travellers to see that the windows of their room are barred. Either the precaution taken by the steamboat officials or the fact that the supposed gang who were doing this stealing have vacated the vicinity, have resulted that so far this season, the local police force have received no complaints, ---- Settling For Collision.

Donnelly represents the Owilers of the Erin. It is understood clatms are be- ing put in by Erin survivors"for the loss of their personal effects. Its said Cowie owners dispute the exact point as to where the collision oc- curred, but no great advantage can be gained, even if the mishap did oc- cur in American waters, The habit on the lakes has been to settle in mat- ters of this kind without regard fo boundary lines or sailing colours.

At least that is the conclusions based on the friends who gathered to enjoy his hospitality. A resident of Collins Bay was in the city this morning, looking for law. He claims to have heen assaulted by villagers, and covered with coal oil and feathers. The villagers wsed him thus--"tis--anid-for--his--defameation of a fellow-villager.
