(The following statement says the Courier, has been I communicated to us from a quarter upon which we can rely. There certainly does appear to be some mystery in the disappearance of Mr. Colton.) The Gazette of the beginning of this month, announced amongst the Bankrupts. " the Rev. Charles Caleb Coltou, late of Princes Street, Soho, wine merchant;" and the second meetiug of his creditors has taken place without the. Bankrupt appearing, or any information respecting him being forwarded to the Commissioners. Previously to the declaration of such Bankruptcy, Mr. Colton, had been entirely lost sight of by his friends in town. since May 29. He was neither to be found at his residence, nor to be seen at a tavern near St. Martin's Lane, where he was accustomed to meet some select friends, nor even to be beard of any where among his acquaintance. Though this occasioned some surprise and enquiry, it did not excite alarm, on account of Mr. Colton's eccentric habits, and as he had been frequently known to leave hontion, for a short period, without any particular prepare- Gone far his journeys. Nor did his absence produce any particular notice, till the Bankruptcy. to the surprise of all who had any knowledge of Mr. Colton, appeared in the Gazette. Though Mr. C. bad speculated, and largely too, at times, in the Funds, in purchasing wines, bullion, paintiegs. &c., he was never viewed as other than a man of ample means. He was, what may be termed an ostenta tious man, for be frequently displayed on his fingers diamond rings worth 2 or 3001.. or wore each I a thick and long gold chain from his waistcoat pocket, passing over a, portion of the coat to his watch; and if he wanted a note he would select it from a bundle, sir a sovereign he would draw a handful out of his pocket. These peculiarities he would observe frequently ia the course of one evening. He was an ostentatious man, entering company for the sake of conversation; but he had 'always much money about him (and in this peculiarity be was like the late Mr. Wear.. with whom Mr. Colton was acquainted.) For some time it was supposed, and given out, that Mr. Colton bad gone to Calais; but what was the authority or the motive for such statement cannot now be ascertained; but it answered its object, if it resulted from design, as if put an end to the enquiries of his friends about him. Time continuing to elapse, anal then the banktiptcy being pro claimed, bet still witboat bringing tidings of Mr. Colton, some anxiety was felt by his wore intimate friends ; and this anxiett became the stronger after the murder of Mr. Wears lio last time Mr. Colton was seen, he was at Epsom Races in company with Mr. Weare; enquiries lead to the belief, that Mr. Colton had been in the gam bling room In which Weare was interested, and which was frequented by the Tburtell party. it is known he bad been in such company. Besides Mr. Colton's 'knowledge of many of the gamblers' doings, his constant practice of having much money and property about bin person, reedited him an object on who'd such men as those who conspired to murder Mr. Weare might base bad and ex ecuted dreadful designs. On Saturday last, the second meeting of the creditors of Mr. Colton thole place before the Commissioners of Bank rapte, at Guildhall. Assignees were to have been chosen, sad Mr. Colton was to have surrendered himself ; bet nei• Chet proceedlog took place. Many interestiovircumatances were related' in the coarse of the examioations, but, as far as they support particulars above stated, especially regard log Me. C.'s habits of generally appearing with much pro perty mad money about him, they need act be repeated.— There were also some curious statements as to the manner in which Mr. C. had engaged in various concerns ; .such as to his being an extensive wine dealer, the proprietor of a celebrated "wine mart," the proprietor of part proprietor of several coffee homes. especially of one in Cornbill; the real owner of an extensive shot mart at the west end of the town, &c. &c. _ _ The docket for the Commission Of Bankruptcy was struck on the application of Mr. Pratt, a paper dealer, who of course is the petitioning creditor. The debt, which is considerable, was for paper supplied for Lacon." The act of Bankruptcy is, in disappearing from his lodging' in Princes Street, on arid after the 29th May last. He left home that day to go to Epsom Races; be was seen .at those races arm;in.arm with Weare, the Thurtells (accord ing to the statement of another person).being also of the party; but though his trunks, property, &c. were lift at his lodgings since that period, the landlady down to the present hour declates that all enquiries to learn any thing about Mr. Colton, have been vain. The lame Was stated to be the ease with his mother, sister, &c. t• sod in the course of the day a Mr. Wrightson was mentioned as having seen Mr. C. in October lot ; but Mr. W. did not appear before the Commissioners. According to the state ment related from Mr. W. Mr. Colton was then en his way to Paris via Calais; but had this been the case. as Gentleman who knew Mr. C. observed, would the enquiries of his relations and friends have been akogether vain, as Mr Colton's brother-in-law, a Clergyman,is now resident in Paris, famine lived there and at Versailles for a long time past? No relation, no friend, it was stated before the Commissioners, could give any account of Mr. Colton after his appearance with Mr. Wcare on the Epanin (Lace Course on the 29th May last; and yet enquiries had been Instituted in every. direction; bat as Mr. Wrightsbn had been mentioned, the Hon. Mr. Law (one Of the Commis. *loners) suggested the propriety of the Solicitor to ,the Commission calling on that individual, to aearrtaio %%h e at he knew about Mr: Colton. Among the erelitor; were a wine merchant, whose de. maul W 33 tar OpMINS of tuettl. ; bat, as Le said. he considered Mr. C. to have bought the wine to . sell again (which a Clergyman could not do) hat was pot then a!- lowed to prove. Mr. Delafons was admitted to prove for MI. for diamonds close, which Mr. D. considered, cal culating Coro the prices charged, nit to have been bonghe for sale, but for use or presents. Mr. Hawley proved to the amount of upwards of 8001. for jewellery ' seal boxes, trinkets, Etc. Mr. Valpy proved for 181. for thee printiog of a Poem entitled "Napoleon." Severe: other debts, Bic. were proved, some of them on Rills of Exchanie that became due in Jane last ; but neither Solicitors nor Notaries could in endeavouring to get them psid, aacertais any tiding* of Mr. A.:oho°. .It was stated, soon after May:, tkat Mr. Colton had taken lodgings in the Edgeware rod". what lodgings they were, never could be ascertained, or whether he took any such lodging. The ruminations lasted (tom eleven till after twoietts . Saturday, the How Mr: Law paying great attention to them. ' • THE PRISONEAS I. HEREFORD GAOL. • HiCRTPoRD, Noy. 24.—The nes , . Mr. Lloyd vi4tel the gaol this morning according to his daily cusiom, anal, in a a interview with the prisoners, stated that any communica tion which they wished to make by letter to their respectie• solicitors should be conveyed without underguing the usual inspection, provided the letters were sealed in the presence of the gaoler, and that communications, on the other bent from the solicitors to the prisoners should be treated in at slime way, On Sunday night Probert sent an open parcel t ► the gaoler for the purpose of being transmitted to M:•- Harmer. The gaoler, very properly, returned the papt•r a having caused them to be sealed in the presents of Probert, they were sent to their destination. Tue clamoa: c against the Rev, Magistrate seems new to have been land denly checked, and, no doub', its cessation is to be atte'- bated to the cordial approval which the bench of Magii trates expressed of his conduct on Saturday last. The Rev. Gentleman having consulted Counsel on the mode of pro ceeding against the newspaper in which the strictures ca his conduct appeared, was advised to prefer a bill of in dictment instead of filing a criminal information, and is undertaking this proceeding he ban not only the concur rence of the Mag•strates, but an offer, on their - part, to pn the egpeneeito which lie may be put in the attempt to obt - ..tiia justice tag inst his accus jrs • [Mr. Loyd, it appears, has prepared a narrative, contale jog au account of all the intercourse which he has n.aa with the prisoners since their committal.

He did not enter the pasture land in his schedule, because he uriderstotet that at his mother's death his sister was to ehare it wit's him. After Sir. Herrn was heard in behalf of lhe insolvent, and in mitigation of punishment. The Chief Comnissioriza said he had seldom witnessed in that Court a case of such deliberate misrepresentati4u_ and fraud as that which the insolvent was proved, nus only by the evidence of others, bot by his own confession, to have practised. It was a lamentable thing to see ar young man, jast enteripg into life, and carrying no a respectable business, conduct himself its such A ' manner. He then sentenced the insolvent to be con fined within the walls of the prison fur twelve calendar months. e • On Friday, the ligot — ou_e, eu were on the elan, and eased the breeches pocket of a tattle dealer, of about nor did he perceive his loss until he was going to pay h.s reckoning at the inn • and while Mr. ThomaeCumberianel. of Sbeepshead, stoo d in the market place, the same ,!a:, Some adept in that diabolical art, picked his pocket ut guinea and some silver unpercei ved. • In the night of Friday last, the shop of Mr. Edward Prior, grocer and draper, of Barrow upon Soar, near 4o Loughbro', in Leicestershire, teal broken open, and a con. sidetable quantity of linen drapery, and other articles.
