PERTIISHIRE._Ir we may judge by the quantity of game-boxes which continue to arrive by the Highland coacheS.--we should say the success of the sportsman generally must have been very animating. A finer morning than that of the twelfth was never seen, or one more favourable in every way for the mountain and moorland sport. Salubrious but bracing breezes characterised the day, and a slight frost which had prevailed during the previous night laid the scent strong. The most favourable weather continued throughout the day. It has been more inconstant since, and Friday was the only other excellent day—indeed, the only day, we believe, which has afforded successful sport. We have not learnt much of the success of particular individuals, but the few instances we can state give a good indication of the general success. On the 12th, Sir P. Murray Threipland, Bart. sacked, to his own gun, on the I Strathbraan shootings, 1034 brace of grouse, and eight hares! W. R. Ramsay, Esq. of Bandon, and friends, brought down 162 brace on the 12th, and, on Friday the 14th, 163 brace, on the Anchnafree Moors, to the north of Crieff ; Mr. Stirling Crawford and party, at Daluaspidal, 350 brace; Mr. Everett, and party of five, on same moors 460 brace, of which 180 is reported for his ova hand; Capt. Campbell, on Kinloch shootings, head of Strath. braan, 108 brace; Mr. Brown, 534, Mr. Anderson 53, on same grounds; Mr. Stewart and party, (three guns,) Loch Kinnaird Lodge, 2034 brace grouse, 2 snipes, 3 lowland hares, and 51 blue do.; Mr. Robertson of Foveran, 103 brace gronse, 1 snipe, 36 hares; Mr. Deveauv, Quay Forest, (two guns,)lso brace of grouse on the 12th-140 on Friday. The Earl of Mexborough and party bagged 100 brace the first day on the hills of Dalchosnie and Innerhaddon. Thursday seems to have been almost a dies non on the shooting grounds of Perthshire—Saturday and Monday must have each been the same.—Perth C'onsiitutional.  Yormsnius.—We understand there is likely to be a great scarcity of moor game this season on the Yorkshire moors, as the birds are found dead in large quantities—Leeds Mermtry.  Extensive Theft.—On Tuesday morning last, between the hours of three and five o'clock, the premises of Messrs. Adam Whyte, and Co., pawnbrokers, in Orr Street, Calton, were found to have been entered by a thief or thieves, who, after obtaining an entrance, managed to carry off 104 silver watches and one gold watch, a silver medal belonging to a soldier who had been engaged in the late Indian war, and one gold diamond ring. On information of the theft being conveyed to Captain Smart of the Calton Police, that gentleman immediately proceeded to the premises about six o'clock in the morning, and on entering, discovered, lying on the floor of the counting-house, a parcel containing 49 silver watches, and on the desk, one watch which had evidently not been touched from the preceding night. It is supposed that the thieves had known the premises, because the watches arc kept in open drawers, and they took only those in front, leaving others in the back untouched. Captain Smart is making the necessary investigation, and using his best exertions to discover the depredators.  Attempt to Commit Suicide.—About 11 o'clock on Saturday night a decently dressed young female threw herself into the Union Canal at Semple Exnt,...61.. A Eine glst who observed her gave the alarm, upon which several men hurried te the spot and rescued her from a watery grave, not however till she was much exhausted. The reason for the rash act has not transpired.
