LORD NELSON.

The 19th Anniversary of the Battle of Tra-
falgar was selebrated on Thinsday at ,the White Hart tavern
Wigniore-street, with its usual splendour and accustomed con-
viviality. The great room was ornamented by a picture of the im-
mortal Hero, decorated with laurel, and the insignia of Victory
graced the chair of the President. The dinner was excellent,
and the second course consisted entirely of game, given in this
instance by the President of last year, hut which was supplied
by the late Marquis of Hertford ever since the establishment of
the Society till his death. On the removal of the cloth Non
Nokia was given in the best style by Messrs. Saunders, King,
and other amateurs ; and after the King," and other accus-
tomed loyal toasts, the President rose, and in proposing " The
immortal memory of Lord Nelson," prefaced the sentiment by
observing, that however triumphant the victory, and however
dazzling the " Sun of their Day" had set, the result of that glo-
rious conquest had proved or ten times more benefit to this
happy country. The time which had elapsed since the enact-
ment of this great achievement had enabled us to contemplate
its importance with still greater exultation. We were now
in the enjoyment of peace and plenty—of that peace the
corner-stone of which was laid by the Great Chief, who
sank into a glorious death in the very arms of Victory—
by him whose memory was engraven on the heart of
every Englishman, and - would descend from -generation to
generation to the remotest posterity. " England expects every
man to do his duty" was the last signal of the Hero--and the
Sons of England- justified the prediction : and if ever their
exertions should again be called into action, future Heroes
would arise, emulous of the transcendent glories of that day, to
support the honour °fay country, and to prove that "England's
best bulwarks are our wooden walls." Th e applause was cowmen-
=rate with the feelings excited by the eloquence of the speaker
--and though the sentiment was drank in solemn silence, every
heart responded with admiration•nt the remembrance of the
triumphs of the. Great Captain. -
" The Duke of Wellington" followed, and was prefaced by
a neat compliment to his Grace's valour and atchievements.
In short, the day passed with harmony and conviviality ; and ,
the company departed at a late hour highly gratified with them-
selves and all around them

THE REY. C. C. COLTON.—Within a few any:,
a letter has been received from Dlr. COLTON, written in France,
and addressed to a gentleman largely concerned in his affairs.—
In this letter Mr. Colton says, that he has returned from A me-
rim for the sole purpose of coming to a general and satisfactory
arrangement with all his creditors, which he does not hesitate to
say he will be able to do in perfect accordance with their wishes,
and the full attainment of which object, he says, he values even
more than life itself; and that nothing but the most imperious
circumstances compelled him to absent himself at the time he
did (in the autumn of 111`23), until he should have made ar-
rangements to settle with every one to whom he owed a shilling
—never anticipating or expecting that such a measure as an act
of bankruptcy would have been resorted to against him. Mr.
Colton further says, tl at soon after the receipt of that letter, the
gentleman to whom it is addressed will be waited upon by a
confidential friend of Mr. Colton's, to enter immediately upon
a full arrangement of all his affairs as speedily as possible.—
There is no doubt as to the genuineness of this letter, because it
has been seen by several friends of Mr. Colton, well acquainted
with his hand-writing, as well as the gentleman to -whom it Is
addreued.--( Times.)
