SIR 1101\1114L'ir;

...We intended this day to insert the Will of th's
Gentleman at length ; but as it relates to the pri-
vate concerns of the fimily who have so deeply
.uffered by their melancholy loss, we trust that
our Readers are too liberal in their feelings to
regret the omission. We may, however, not int-
properly insert the latter codicils, as they chiefly
relate to, the unfortunate Genlleman himself, and
seem strongly to intimate, that lie felt a melan-
choly anticipation of that state of •ruind which
telminated in so disastrous a.tnanner. If Wtt.Ls
and Contett.s were not in general documents
which do not become known till after death, it is
hi the hi„.,,tieSt degree probable that, if his family
and friends had known the contents of these Pa-
pers, or if he,,-had communicated to them his
menu-41)k forebodings, their, would have takeu
all possible care to avert the fatal catastrophe.

" I am at the present moment of perfectly sound mind, au a
in full possession of all my faculties ; bet I am labouring
under a most severe affiiction, and I cannot recollect that 41-
sanity is anningst the evils which mental afitictions sometimes
produce, without observing to myself that that unhappy lot
may possibly at some time be mine. If I ever should become
insane (which God forbid), it is my earnest desire that while I
continue in that state, the following bounties may he paid to
different relations oat of my income, during my life, and may
be considered as part of the expenditure which I certainly'
should have made if I had continued capable of managing, my
own atlairs :—To my brother 1.5Ci1. a-year, and to my nephew,
Peter Itoget, 1501. a-year(; to my nephew, Cuthbert l'seinilly,
t JUT. a-year ; to my nieces, Caroline and Margaret Ituniiiiy,
401. a-year a-piece. All these payments I desire may be made
during the joint lives of myself and the several annuitants re-
spectivoly. I desire that the most ample allowances may be
made for the maintenance and education of my dear children
daring their minorities, and for their maintenance after they
come of age, and that proper sums be taken out of the capital of
my fortune (ifthe income be not sullicient,as it surelyeannot be)
for the advancement of my children in life, and even as a capital
fur:them to engage in any mercantile concerns ; such advance-
ment, however, ought not, 1 think, unless under some very
peculiar circumstances, to exceed, in addition to what may
have been before expended for their maintenance and educa-
tion, the sum of 6,0001.; with my dear Sophy, if a proper
marriage should be i❑ contemplation, I authorize hereby the
advancement to her of a portion not exceeding I0,000l.; but
whatever shall he so advanced for any of my children, must be
taken by them in satisfaction, or in part satisfaction, of what
they may be entitled to under my will. If my dear wife should
survive me, and enjoy her health (which God grant), all these
matters must be at her absolute disposal, if mot, at the disposal
of such persons as may by the Lord Chancellor be appointed
committee of my estate ; and I hereby bind myself and my per-
sonal representatives to confirm and sanction whatever shall
have been 'lone in compliance with this my request. I be-
lieve I have some stock iii the public foods, purchased in my
brother's name ; it is not of considerable amount, but what-
ever it may be, I desire that my brother may never be called
upon fur it, or for any debt that he may owe me. I hereby
declare such stocli‘to he his, and I release all the debts he

" If so terrible a calamity us that which I hare mentioned
above should befall me, it would he the greatest consolation
1 could find it my two friends, the Marquis of Lau down and
John Whishaw, Esq. of Lincoln's Ina, would hare the kind-
ness to consent to become and to act as the Committee of my
person and estate.

By my will, or by one of the codicils to it, I have released
and bequeathed to my brother w hatever debts might happen
to be due from him to me at the time of my death ; I Lava
since, upon this day, directed toy bankers to pay 1,0001. into
his hands, to be applied by him to my use as I have directed,
or shall hereafter direct; the release or bequest before men-
tioned is therefore not meant to apply to this 1,0001., or to
any other monies Ni-hich may hereafter come to his hand for
my use, but fur all such sums he will have the goodness to
account to my executor.

This morning our Market was but thinly supplied with
prime Cattle, but business was rather brisk. Beef and
Mutton may be quoted at last Friday's prices; Veal was ra-
ther dearer; and Pork remains nominal at our last quotations.
In the Hay Market little business was doing ; Hay was a
few shillings per load dearer; Clover was very dull sale at
our last quotations ; Straw was rather dearer, but very little
business doing in that article.—The annexed is a correct
statement of the Numbers and Priers at market:—

The young man detained At Stourbridge on 1)13
own confession of murder still remains in custody
there ; but doubts are now stated to be enter-
tained as to the truth of his asscrti,u. It is un-
derstood to have been satistactotily proved, that
his account of himself is in several instances un-
true. A letter has been received by the Magis-
trates of Stourbridge from the Mayor of Yar-
mouth, in which he says that inquiries have been
made, but that he cannot hear of any murder
baying been committed about that period. 'The
Mayor promises to vrrite again when more accu-
rate inquiries have been made of the neighbouring
Magistiates..
