WOOL MARKET.-TIIIS DAY.

The Wool market presents no feature of the least
novelty. By. private contract the demand is in a sluggish
state, but we have no change to report in the quotations.
The imports of Wool into London last week amounted to
scarcely 200 bales, chiefly from Germany.

lowing quotations :—Printe Meadow Hay, 725. to SOL ; in-

TUE DUKE OF ATTIOLL.—It is proper that the
public should know that his Grace of Atholl exacts ls. per
head upon Ivory person entering his grounds at Dunkeld.
Visitors on entering are desired to put their names down in
a book, and on quitting the grounds a demand is made of
Is. from each. Thus, a gentleman with a family of six or
seven children, or it might be ten children, would hove to
pay a pretty heavy toll for liberty take a walk through the
grounds at Dunkcld.—Nort/s British D illy Mail.
THE GAME LAWS.—At the county petty sessions
held at Salisbury, on Tuesday last, nearly the whole time of
the court was occupied (according to the Salisbury Journal)
in disposing of charges of poaching. Joseph Marshall was
tined 31. and expenses, or in default two months' imprison-
ment, for using a dog to kill a h re, the property of C. L.
itendall, Esq., at Milston, this being his second conviction.
Isaac Dray and John Collins were charged by Mr. Whit-
lock, of Winterslow, with trespassing in pursuit of game in
a certain plantation at Idnuston, on 7th August. The case
being proved, defendants were hoed 40s. each and expenses,
and in default two months' imprisonment. John Webb
was fitted las. and expenses, for using a trap to take a
rabbit in a plantation, the property of Viscount Folkestone,
at Downton, on the 6th inst. Thomas Frampton was con-
victed in the penalty of 10s. for a similar offence in tho
same plantation on the sth inst. On tho hearing of these
cases Lord Folkestone, who was one of the presiding magis-
trates it is said, retired from the beach. Richard Obornu
was fined 31., including expenses, for using a gun for tho
purpose of killing game, in the parish of South Newton.

A CURIOUS DISCOVERY.—It will bo recollected,
says a correspondust, that in the accounts given of the
means of livelihood of the notorious Cauty, who a few
weeks ago was so cleverly captured while robbing the
Westminster Bank, and who was transported afterwards
fur the robbery, it was stated that for a great number of
years he had lived in the most luxurious style, and must
have had a splendid income, and that he obtained this in-
come by being concerned in some way or other with all the
great robberies in the kingdom. This appears to have been
to some degree an error, and the police were evidently at
fault as to Qua source of Cauty's revenue. This man used
to travel often in the West India Company's steamers to the
Gulf of Mexico and the Spanish main, and gamble, and
fleece the rich Mexican and Spanish American passengers
on board the West India packets, who are always found to be
passionately fond of gambling, and who are eager to indulge
in it to relieve the monotony and tedium of long voyages.
Cauty's apprehension was heard of abroad with some sur-
prise, as although he was considered a sharper and a scamp,
it was hardly. expected that he would be caught in bare-
faced, downright robbery. Cauty belonged to a gang of
four, who used to travel in the mail-oackets on a fleecing
expedition. Of course they travelled as first class passen-
gers, and some idea may be formed of their gains, when it
is considered that the passage-money of each out and home
must have cost oftentimes above 1001. These worthies did
not limit their operations to the West India packets. 'rho
pigeons, however, that they used to delight in plucking
best are to be found between Southampton and the Spanish
main, the West India Islands and the Gulf of Mexico.
