. WILL _OF SIR CHARLES 1111CARTHY.

The will of the late unfortunate Sir Charles M.Car-
thy was registered in the Prerogative Office. in Doctors
Commons, on the 28th (August) ult. Probate was
granted to his sister, Adelaide Gueroult, Countess de
Metre, wife of Charles Francois, Count de Metre, as
sole heiress and executrix, the property being stated
within the province of the Canterbury jurisdiction) to be
ma& the sum of £20,000. is contained in a series
of papers, :narked Nos. 1,2, and 3—the last being
merely an envelope, with a superscription, and the first
a letter declaratory of the purport of N 0.2, which is
written throughout in Ft ench, and contains all his tes-
tamentary dispositions. It consists of three letters, ad-
dressed to his sister and her husband. The first of them
is dated like the paper writing No. 1, the 27th of Octo-
ber, 1821. The tenour of the whole is expressive of the
utmost affection and confidence in the Countess and his
brother-in-law, to whom he gives the bulk of his pro-
perty, with certain provisions, at their entire discretion,
for his natural children: of these there are four ; he
mations them with much solicitude, and laments his
never having foimed a lawful connexion: two of them
are by tht same mother. The second letter in the tes-
tamentary paper, No. 2, is dated the 14th of Novetn•
ber, 1822, and begins id this manner Thinking it
was my duty to repair to the Gold Coast on account of
a hostile aggression from the Chief of the Ashantees, a
barbarian to vrbbm they give the title of King, and
who, in the bosom of peace, has seized and made pri-
soner a Serjeanr, whom be may murder under pretence
of his having spoken ill of him, I think proper to inform
you," &c. &c. The last of the letters, dated the 29th
of October, 1828, at Sierra Leone, consists chiefly of
an enumeration of property, and notices the probability
of his shortly having another child, for whom he in-
treats his sister's kindness and protection. The testator
has left annuities of 500 francs and 300 francs to two
aunts. The other bequests are very trifling. AU the
documents are in Sir Charles's own hand-writing 4

Ttia tom. or SEPTIAISSR.—The dandy sportsmen
now in town slept in their shooting dresses last night to
take the field early this day, is the partridge shooting-
season commences. The different watchmen received
orders to wake them early this morning, and flying con-
fectioners, provided with cakes and lollypops, and soda
water, expect to have a busy day at Primrose‘hill,
Hackney-fields, Sentishtown, Hammersmith, and High-
gate. The dandies are furnished with pop-grins, as they
will not use gunpowder, it smells so nasty. The cock-
res, however have supplied themselves with abund-
ance of powder and shot, and woe be unto ducks and
drakes, sparrows, pigs, and water-wagtails, in the vici-
nity of the metropolis. Bull-dogs and mastiffs have risen
cent, per cent. in price, as many of them have been pur-
chased as poixters.
At the close of one of the beats at the last Tunbridge Races,
there was a universal uproar, oecasiosed by the suspicion of what
appeared to be most extraordinary conduct in the proprietor of
My Aunt. It was stated that be had entered Into some agreement
that Fortune-Teller should win, which was discovered by the
jockey who rode My Aunt poling het in to prevent her arriving
