1 i rlIE IVEY. C. C. COLTON. We bad occasion a few days ago to give a po sitive denial to a statement relating to the above named Gentleman, which we had copied from a Morning Paper, asserting that " Mr. CoLToN had arrived in town, and was lodging in Prince's street, Leicester-square." We have now, again, to give an unqualified contradiction to every part of 'another statement respecting this Gentleman, which we yesterday copied from another Morning Paper.—There is no foun dation whatever for the assertion " that Mr. Cohen drew 3,0001. from his banker's in Pall mall on the day before he disappeared," or, in deed, on any other day ; for the best possible reason —that he never had any such sum there ; and the truth is, that he neither drew that sum or any other sum on the day before he disappear ed, or for many days previous, nor was he paid any sum whatever at any time in 1001. notes. So that it would be much more wonderful if the twenty-nine 1001. notes spoken of had been paid into the Bank than that they have not ; and it would seem equally surprising how he could change a 1001. note at a gaming-house, which he never received. Just as little foundation is there for th e assertion that Mr. Colton was seen with some of " the unhappy ThurtelPs" associates at Epsom races. We have good reason to know the fact. to be, that Mr. Colton was not at Epsom races at all on the occasion alluded to, because he had made an engagement with two of his intimate and private friends to go to those very races, and excused himself a few days be foie, saying, that he was obliged to go in an other direction upon business ; and those friends of his were at the races daily, but did not see him there ; and with respect to Thurtell and his gang, it is well known to those who know all Mr. Col ott's companions and associates, that he never had any such acquaintance. En the course of the various places which Mr. Colton occasion ally visited in his search into human nature and character, it is not unlikely that he may have ac cidentally met with some of that gang ; but Mr. Colton WWI too well known to have no acquaintances or eve " to appear in p u bli c w ith an y persons who W not visiters at his a p artments, or partakers o f his hospitality and no such persons, by name tr description, as Thurtell or his gang, ever en his doors,Mr. Colton did not by any means disappear so suddenly or mysteriously as 11 supposed. F or many d ays prev i ous to t h e d ay _° l his dep arture, the 28th of May, his intention was well known to several of his friends and to his servants, of going upon a journey end being absent for two months, and with this view he regu larly packed up his clothes, travelling trunks, &c. and departed, as any other man would do to go upon a journey ; but then he stated to his servants, &c., his object to be a tour on the continent, and to be back in August, and with that view did slot surrender his apartments or discharge his ser vants." There is nut, therefore, any apprehen sion on the part of Mr. Colton's friends that he was either 46 drowned with the money about him," or 6 ' murdered, having previously deposited the 3,0001. in some place, where it has not yet been sound," although there is certainly nothing satis factorily kno wn as to t h e i mmediate place of his sojourn ing') t.—( Times.)

LOUIS'S DAY.—Yesterday being the festi '4l of St. Louis, it was celebrated by the French in this me tropolis. At ten o'clock in the morning they assembled at the l''rench Ambassador's Chapel, Little George-street, King- St reet, Portman-square, where High Mass was celebrated.

THE KING, &e. WiNneon, Atm. 25.—His MASESTT and suite took an airing this morning in the accustomed manner. After the King returned to the Royal Lodge, his 'Majesty walked upwards of an hour in the plantations attached to the Lodge. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester arrived yesterday evening at Frogmore, on a visit to her illustrious relations. The Prin. cess Augusta gave a select Dinner Party. Their Royal High nesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence will extend their stay at Frogmore, it is expected, till the end of the week. Mr. Wyatville arrived at the Castle this morning, and was engaged for several hours in inspecting the progress the workmen have made, and giving the necessary instructions. A considerable portion of the court-yard has been lowered to the requisite depth, and the erection of the magnificent corrider will be com menced immediately. Several trifling articles continue to he discovered in the course of the excavations, among which is a - large silver coin of Charles I. in excellent preservation.—The basement of the Cenotaph to the Memory of the late Prin cess Charlotte, erecting in St. George's Chapel, having been completed, the greatest activity is displayed to submit it speedily to public inspection. The principal figures of the group have been sent from London, and but a short time will now elapse before this beautiful tribute to the Virtues of the lamented Princess will be open to public view.—The favourable change that has, within these few days , 'taken place in the weather, has caused the greatest activity among the agricultural classes. Every individual that could be spared from other employment has been engaged in harvest work, and an immense quantity of corn has been carried since the begin ning of the week. We are happy to add, that the corps are every where uncommonly fine. This morning the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Prin cess Augusta arrived at the Castle in the Princess Augusta's carriage. The Royal Party returned to Frogmore, and soon after one o'clock again left Frogmore for the Egham Race Course ; the Royal Party returned to Frogmore to dinner after the Races, which were numerously attended with company, from London and other parts, the weather proving extremely favouraoe.

The present Town Hall is a very ancient structure, quite in " a tumble-clownish kind of a condition," and with a very narrow approach to it, which renders it particularly inconvenient.

The Course was again honoured by the presence of Ills Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, Countess Ilarcourt, Countess Powlett, &c.; Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta accompanied her Royal Brother. As on yesterday, the excellent manner in which the course was kept prevented accidents, and the endea vours of the light-fingered gentry were paralysed by the activity of the Police.

Yesterday a grand display of nautical skill took place on the River Thames, when a new wherryand other prizes were given by the Ladies and Gentlemen of Putney and Roehampton. The conditions of the wager were, that three heats should de cide the contest. The first heat was between Win. Robinson, r ed ; Jt hn Fisher, blue; Thomas fludaon, pink; Rich. Cobb yellow.—Fisher was a man much advanced in years, and lie took the place of Win. Maddocks, who had decllped on ate count of indisposition. This heat was warmly contested by the competitors ; But Robinson, who was the first at starting, preserved his distance, and came in winner of the first heat. A cco rding to the conditions of the race, he was allowed to lay by until the third or grand heat, and the other three were to row m •tho•Juicond seat. Between three and four o'clock these thfile toed Ivere nuashallotl .bofore Putney-bridge, and, on the!'g,,‘'„hei,og giien, PiiiherAildsotb and Cobb, started to coi,L.T`,` for tile; hesie."' By t h e conditions of the match "1 , 0 1 1341W0 wianin* VIM in the ' second heat would, w ith Robinson, th e first in the first heat, be entitled to con tend in dip . third heat, and for the prize. Fisher, Hudson, and 0°": , thurefore, exerted Themselves to the utmost, and it ma y fairly be said, that had they been contending for the boat t heir strength could not hav e b een e x er t e d to g reater advan tage. The distance the men in the two heats bad to row was from a boat moored off below the powder house, round a boat moored off Barn Elms, up the Seuth shore, and returning, to pass round the boat they started from, oil Putncy.bridge. Throughout the distance the men exerted themselves to the utmost, and well deserved the palm of victory which the win ning Tan would obtain.—Th e secon d b ea t was at length de cided in favour of Cobb and Fisher, and Hudson was, there fore, thrown out of the snatch altogether. At six o'clock pre parations were made for the third, or grand heat. The m en were ,to row from Putney-b r id ge roun d t h e b out b e l ow the Powder house, and up round th e boat at Barn Elms down to the prize wherry moored off D'Aranda's Gr ee n : Much interest was excited by this trial of strength and skill The men were experienced, and their friends assembled in numerous parties ; a band of music was also on the river, and enlivened the company with melodious sounds--. , Soon after six o'clock the pistol was fired, and away went the men in gallant style. Cobb took the lead, but he was hard pressed by Fisher, and Robinson, who was the favourite, endeavoured to make a head of both. Cobb still went on, and seemed to defy his opponents to outstrip him. lie came round the boat below the Powder-house, and also round the boat at Burn Elms, without their overtaking him. Then it was that the contest between Fisher and Robinson became strenuous. Fisher was, however, fouled, but contrived to extricate him self, w hile Cobb and Robinson passed a-head, and Fisher was afterwards unable to regain the advantage he hail lost. When near to Arancia‘e Green some fouling took place between Ro binson and a boat, in which it is said were the Mana gers of the Regatta, but steered by Cobb's brother. That , however, stopped his course, and Cobb gained ground ; he in a short time arrived at the prize wherry, but such was his desire of winning, that he shot past it, and was unable to stop his boat to jump on board. His friends came round him, and placed hint on board the boat, and then a general disbar. hence commenced. Mr. Sullivan, the boat-builder, of bank, loudly contended that it was " a foul," while Cobb's friends, on the other hand, said all was fair. Sullivan jumped into a boat rowed by .1 stout men, and followed Cobb, who was accompanied by his son and several friends, in the prize wherry, Sullivan insisted lie would go on board, and young Cobb threat ' ened him with violence. Sullivan's party still followed the boat, anti at length Sullivan succeeded in getting alongside. Ile then claimed his right to the boat, on account of its not being; paid for, and next said he was directed by the Managers to seize it, as there was " a foul." Young Cobh and his friends, how ever, would not suffer the boat to be taken-possession of, but exclaimed that it was fairly won. Sullivan was not intimi dated, but attempted to board, and was beat off. The contest seemed now to wear a more serious aspect, as the persons in Cobb's boat attempted to sink Sullivan.!a Several of them Sullivan was great ty b pressed her to the r at length got down, and after undergoing a m illin g , he, in a pitiless plight, joined his companions on shore. Cobb's friends then the carried awaysvate. waters edge, when she took in a boat in triumph. It was said, however, that the managers of the Regatta, not quite satisfied with the disposition of the prize, declared that the race should again take place, and the boat, it was rumoured, w a s t a k e n f r om Cobb, and deposited in the builder's hands. Some village sports concluded the amusements of the day ; a beautiful chemise was exhibited on a high pole, but no fair damsels offered to contend for it. Another pole was erected, and having been well greased, a leg of mutton was fastened, hung at the top, as a reward for I the adventurous youth, whose agility might enable him to reach I it. Mr. FRASER, of bovat, having betted that he would kill 50 brace of grouse on the 12th inst., exceeded his bet by seven brace, having killed 57 brace, on his lands in Stmtherrick.— The Right ion. Lord Kennedy, and Jas. Cruickshank, Esq., of Langley-park, on Saturday the 7th. instant, played 6 golf matches, of 7 holes each, on St. Andrew's Links. The latter received considerable odds from his Lordship, and five out of the six matches. His Lordship was more successful in a shoot ing bet which he took last week, that he would kill 10 brace of grouse with ball in the zourse of one day's sport, which he ac complished, having brought down 20 birds in about 170 shots. Inver:ars Journal.) POETRY. FAIRY SONGS. 1.. TITANIA, the Queen of the Fairies bright, Sent me away on an errand one night, To find out a glowworm, and take her its light. Down to the earth in a moment d flit, But when I was out of the reach of Queen TIT, I never remembered her orders a bit, But backward and forward so merrily flew, Bathing my gossamer wings in the dew, And looking about for some mischief to do: A t length I spy'd (for the moon was up) A glistering drop in an acorn cup, And there at the bottom it shone so bright, I took it at first for the glow-worm's light , So I thought to catch it—imt what d'ye There were thousands and thousands of tiny elves Had assembled together upon the brink Of the acorn cup, to amuse themselves. Oh ho, thought I—l shall not suffer that, What business have they, with their noisy chat, To disturb all the world, for an inch around, When the senses of mortals in sleep are bound, And so, in the midst of their mirthful din, I slily descended, and toppled them in ; Then left them to flounder about as they may, And spreading my wings flew laughing away. There was a Fairy who made a bower, In the chalice of a flower, A sweeter flow'rct never grew, rho' you hunt the garden throli There the Fairy liv'd so gay, hoiering in the sunny ray, Singing half her time away, But if she ever chanc'd to spy An humble Bee conic buzzing by, Then the Fairy, all so sly, In her little den would slip, And when the Bee began to sip The honey, and to load his thigh, She'd blow the light dust in his eye; Off the blinded Bee would go, Looking like a powder'd beau, Humming loud and angrily, Whilst the Fairy then stood by, Laughing at him heartily.

Its publication we consider as peculiarly seasonable at the present time; and it must be highly gratifying to the citizens of Edinburgh to be as sured of the deep interest which his Lordship feels, and which he has thus publicly expressed, for the prosperity of one of the most ancient and valuable of our public insti tutions:—The Lord Register addressed the Rector after the examination of his class. lie said he hoped he should not be thought to arrogate too much to himself, in rising to express his satisfaction, and that of his friend, the acting Chief Magi strate, in the examination which had taken place to-day. It was highly creditable, both to the master and to the scholars, to him who conveyed the instruction, as to those who received it ; and he warned the young men he saw around him, not, on leaving :the rector's class, to throw behind them all they had there so well acquired. They might recollect the e lo q uent de scription of the first of Roman orators, who describes such par. suits as adorning prosperity, and affording consolation in adverse fortune; as cherishing the faculties of youth, and delighting declining years ; in business, a recreation and amusement, and giving a charm to the hours of retirement and of lei sure. The appearance of the young students to day could be witnessed with indifrerence by none—certainly not by those, who, like himself, had in the High School of Edinburgh been taught the rudiments of classical learning, and who remembered the eager endeavour, the acute anxiety, which was felt previous to the day of examination, anxiety and eagerness, not perhaps sur pass:id in afterlife., when in pursuit of the more daulingobjects of ambition and in fiuence and power. To-daybed proired that the co. lebrity of the High School stood unimpaired and unshaken ; that its character had suffered no diminution, and chewed no symp. tonic of decay. He hailed this proof with more peculiar plea sure as being the decided friend of old establishments, under whichl his country had flourished so well and so long. To all it must be obvious, that the increase of our city made a new situation for the high School indispensably necessary • and he was happy to state, that having lately met the Chief Magi. strare in London, who had received, from the liberal views of his Brother Magistrates, ample powers for treating with Go. vernment for a more convenient situation, he was happy to ex • press his persuasion that this application would prove success , tul, and that soon we should see arise from the parent's mites another and more commodious structure, better adapted to public convenience, and adding too in architectural beauty to to those public works which an eminently distinguish and adorn our romantic metropolis.—(Edinburgh Courarst, Aug. 31.) DREA DFUL A CCIURNT.—A Coroner's Inquest was held this morning at 11 o'clock, before C. JEmstrrr, Esq. at the Tap, opposite Vauxhall Gardens, on the body of a man unknown, or sup posed to be John Horton, formerly a soldier in the 10th Hussars, and recently returned from the West Indies, who was unfortunately killed on Monday last, by being thrown from a horse near Vauxhall Walk. It appeared that the deceased with another person were exercising horses in Kennington-lane, when he suddenly struck the animal with his heels, who instantly started oft at full gallop. The deceased made every endeavour to stop him but ineffectually, at length, it seems, the horse threw him. On examining the deceased it was found that his head was stove in, and the skull completely fractured. lie survived but a few minutes. The Jury, after hearing the whole of the evidence, returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." Deodand, one shilling on the animal. DARING ROBBERY.—Between the hours of I I and 12 o'clock on Tuesday night, as the lion. Mr. Hare was proceeding to his villa at Highgate, in a single horse-chaise, attended by a servant-boy, he was stopped on the road some short distance from the Archway-turnpike by two fellows one in a smock-frock and the other in sailor's apparel, the latter of whom, with violent imprecations, demanded the Gentleman's money, whilst at the same time he flourished a large gardener's knife ; as a further intimidation, his associate remained at the horse's head, and threatened to cut the traces if Any attempt were made at escape. Thus beset, and without a prospect of any speedy assistance, the gentleman wasreluctantly Forced to comply with their demands, and presented his purse, containing three sovereigns and a quantity of silver; they then demanded his watch, as they expected a larger booty in money, but most fortunately Mr. flare had left it in town a day or two previous for some repairs. Evidently disappointed, the fellows were about to depart, when one of them suddenly turned round and cut the reins, in order, no doubt, to delay pursuit; they then struck off the road, and made off' rapidly in the direction of Highgate-hill, and the servant-boy was obliged to lead the horse the remainder of the way borne. ~JOnTICULTURALCuniosyry.—In a new pinery at Whitby, belonging to Robert Campion, Esq. there have been reared this season several plants of the Santa Cruz, or New White Providence Pine, exhibiting some remarkable peculiarities. On their coming to maturity the crown of each of the plants, with one exception, chewed fruit presenting the elegant appearance of a small pine-apple standing above the main fruit, en a short stalk rising from the centre of its crown, this secondary fruit being also surmounted by a crown of its own. The suckers proceeding from the same pine-apples terminated in crowns with- out any vestige of the embryo fruit.—(York Courant.) Robert Wightman, a stamper in the General Post-Office, who was charged with embezzling a letter containing half a sovereign, was this day brought before the Loan IVIAvon for final exa mination, and was fully committed for trial. .. kr...

TILE GLAMORGAN CANAL.-INJUNCTION: In this case, which has excited such ♦ery ge : . neral interest in Wales, and in which no less !ban five verdicts have been obtained, and upwaids of 14,0001. expended in litigation only, our Readers will recollect that on the former hearing the Loan CHANCELLOR directed that the works should be stayed, and Mr. Croshier accordingly entered into an undertaking to that effect; that order, however, was not obeyed, and yesterday the Loan CHANCELLOR was again applied to by the plaintiff, Mr. Blakemore, for an injunction, to restrain the Company from proceeding with the works, and particularly from deepening or widening the canal at Cardiff. A very long discussion was the consequence, and the Loan CHANCELLOR observed, that, from the appearance of unanimity that seemed to he beginning on the former hearing, he had hoped never more to have heard of this case. The par ties, however, must chooie for themselves—laud he would hero remark, that if any Gentleman thought fit to contravene the order of this Court, he did so at his peril, for the Court would not fail to visit him in a way that he might feel not very happy. Mr. Croshier, however, on this oc casion, had put in an affidavit, and the effect of that was that he should not visit him further on the present occasion than by repeating his for mer remarks—What lie should do on the present occasion was to grant an injunction, restraining the Company, their workmen and servants, from continuing any works on the line of road by which the property of Mr. Blake:110re might be deteriorated.

PO I,ICE - ELLIG ENCE. IMPORTANT DECISION IN THE SILK TRADE. Wo as II ir ST EZ T.—Yesterday Elizabeth Castles appeared before Mr. BEVILL, in answer to a summons obtained against her by Mr. Wm. Hill, a respectable manufacturer' of (Gun street, Spitalfielda, for unlawfully damaging a piece of silk which she got to weave. It appeared that a few days before the defendant in this came summoned her employer for the balance of wages which. had been stopped for the injury done to the silk; the Magistrate then decided that he should pay her the wages due, and then summon her for the alleged injury. Yesterday the silk was produced in the office. and a clerk in Mr. Hill's employment pointed out the damage done. Mr. Hill stated that the lowest price he could charge for the Injury would be ten shillings. A person in the silk trade, unconnected with either of the parties, stated, that he believed the injury to have arisen front accident, but that a charge of one yard would be sufficient rom. pensation. The defendant stated that it was completely an accident, she having at the times child in her arms and a cup of broth in her hand, when the child suddenly started, and threw part of the contents of the cup over the silk in the loom. Mr. BEvILL, after consulting the General Silk Act, said he was afraid he could render the complainant no relief. Mr. Hill (somewhat astonished)—No relief, Sir? • Mr. Bxelet.—No, Sir; for the Act only authorizes Magi strates to punish where the deed was done—" wilfully, wicked ly, and maliciously, with intent to injure," which was not then the ease, as it was clearly proved it was an accident. Mr. Hill—And how am I to do ; for it was always the prac tice to stop out of the wages for the injury done ? Mr. BEVILL—You can have your action. Mr. Hill—How am Ito proceed ? Mr. lirviet.—Your Attorney will be the hest person to consult upon that subject.—The parties then withdrew. FURIOUS DOGS.
