About one hour before starting, the weather all of sudden turned from ex- cessive heat to gloomy, and very indicative to tempest. At hAlf past 12 the first race took place, and the horses ran in the midst of thun- der and lightning, without rain. The second *vent through under the same unpleasantry, when, immediately after, one of the most tremendous storms of hail and rain hucceeded ever recollected at Newmarket by itfs oldest inhabitant, and which nearly cleared the course of all but those narticularlv interested in the event of the dif- ferent stakes. A considerable time elapsed before the third race took place,when, by degrees,the weather turned to partidl storms,between which the day's business was conduded.

TO TiHE EDrTOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,-With reference to the first part of your correspondent'^ state. ment yesterday respectingt this gentleman, I azsure you lie is rnistakert -Ilr. (Colton did actually, as 1 know from the bankers thenselves, draw a very considerable sum from a banking-thouse in Pall-mall soine days previous to his departure. But your correspondent rrust have laboured under the error that I myself did for sorne timne-. namely, that if llr. Colton drew any sum of the kind stated, it must have been from one of three banks, with each of which 3, as an inti- mate acquaintance of his, knew him to have done husinucse-Messrm Hoare's, in Fleet-street, and hMeEsrs. Rammerslev-a and the house of Morland and Co., in Pall-mall; and it is certainly true, that from neither ot these houses gid he draw the money in question. But it clearly was not known to your correVpondent, that a short time prc- vious to Mr. Colton'sleavir.g London, he trunsferred the wholeof his accounts to the house of R37som and Co., in the New-buildings, Pall-mall East, and from this bank it w2as that 17r In- Ai;t z-nr a iaTge sum. I arn, :Sir, your humble servant, z. TO TIfE EDITOR OF THE TI ES. Sir.-Mention having been mnatle in your journal that the Ret. ;rr. Colton, before his dimappear%nce in AMay last year, had received of a banking-house iP.

The difference ofthetime between the two transactinns may prevent any thing condusive being drawn from the fact I annoince to you: but as these particnlars nay, by possibilty, be useful as a clue tto the inquiries now on foot respecting the gentleman alludetl to, you are at liberty or not, rc- cording as you may think p roper, to publisb them for the infbnnaa. tion of parties disposed to follow up the subject. 1 am, Sir, your obedient cenrnt A guist 2ti.

The amiable sauitor answeredr L Ye.". The LoaD CHANCel oLn* was glad of it, because he knew that thiere were many persons, sufficiently aware of the practice of the Court to be mischievous, who prepared papers which were handed to the Court by suitors, which could have no effect, or if atly, only those of vexation and trouble. Ile was convinced, that among the many houiourablo men practising at the bar, the lady woald bave no diliDeulty in getting one of them to take her papers and bring her case regularly before the Court, if she were incapable. of remunerating them.

HEALD resumed his argument for committing the managers to the Fleet for contempt of Court and breach of an injunction is- sued against them in August last to prevent their widenin6 and deepening the bed of the canalto the detriment of the plaintiff's pro- perty. rhe answer, as wasstatedinonrpaperofyesterday,was, ,that the defendants had only hei htened the bank, and not deepened the water, and that the eiFect of their work was only to cleanse the basin. He examined the conflicting affidavits on this point, and eon- tended that they had, in the most flagrant and contemptuous man- ner, violated the express order of the Court, which offence was fur- ther aggravated by their previous failure in endeavouring to obtain the sanction of an act of Parliament. He noticed the mischie- vous consequences of a provision in a recent general act of Parliament, which enacted, that as soon as the profits of a canal should exceed a divilend of 8x per cent., that the duties shoulld be lowered. The effect of this was, that no sooner did the profits approach the statutable rate, than the canal comnanies set themselves to work to squander awvay money, so as to avoid a sur- plus, of which they were not allowesa to make any use, inflicting the most unwarrantable Injuries on persons whose property lay in con- nexion with their own.

Sir,-A paragraph has appeared in The Times of this clay, relative to a confidential clerk of the name of Hull who is stated to have absconded from the house of Messrs. de Rothschild and Co., of Paris, takiug with him a small sum of nmoney; and having, upon the credit of his em- ployers, incurred debts with the tradesmen of Paris. It is true, he left the house most abruptly, but for very different reasons from those stated, or rather hinted at. in the paragraph. He had been employed, unknown to the firm, by a near connexion of Mr. (le Rothschild, to carry on a large specu- lation for him, which having pursued beyond what he was exactly warranted in doing, the whole of the property in his hands bel'tnging to the individual for wvhorm it was done, was lost; and he being unable to meet the reproaches | he expected, thought it best to go away. As to the assertion that he took propertyv with him be. I lonaing to the house, I aunnot think it probable; -bc"se I was present whent his desk was opened before slral gentlemen in the Varis house, and property to the amount I of at least 30,0001. was found in it, arranged i/l the most | orrect an:4 regular manner, and ticketted with the name of the partics to wrhom it belonged now as this property consisted of 20,000 rentes, 600 N'eapolitan ducats, and a I large uncounted quantity of coupons, which anv person | acquainted with this species of security, knows to be con- vertible inlto cashi instantly, and particularlv so bv him in the ostensible employ he held: is it at all probable he should have made fret with an insignificant sum, when he m.ight have possessed himself of a large amount, which most likely would not have been discovered for a long time ? I think it carries contradiction on the face of it. With oerard to the t.radescnen's bills in ?'aris being left unpaid, this is a circucnstance which rather depends on sur mise; theugh, from the hurried manner in which he de. parted, some few unsettled accounts must necessarilv bave existed. I may add, liovever, that it never could have been requisite to have employedl the credit of the house to ob- tain the articles which may have reinained unpaid for.

The Times, 1824-04-14T00:00:00

Sir,-To write such a letter as theone you heve addressed to the public, it appears to me youshould, in sucht a case, have bad better information, not to put me under the necessity of saying its contents are false; as I can prove to you, that in all your letter the orny truth it contains is ink and prrper. FACTs.-Mr. Valabreque, the husband of Mladayne Catalani, came to announce to the administration, at 12 o'cloclc, on the 9th of this month, that Alladame Catalani was prevented from peribrmi- ing that evening by sudden indisposition. I represented'to him beforeseveral persons the bad cffects her absence vould have on the mind of the public, desiring at the same time that he shonld engage her to sing at least one air: to this he replied that she was in the utter impossibility of articulating a single note, and that he would send the doctor's certificate to prove wbatbeasserted. I immediately sent for Mir. Glindon, printer to the theatre, 51, Rupert-street, or- dering him to alter instantly all the bills, and I myself corrected the books to be reprinted without the name and airs of Madame Cata- lani, which was completed in three hours' time. The same can be veriSed at the above-mentiened Mr. Glindon's. At five-p'clock .rm., I received the doctor's eertificate, whlich was immediately printed, with an apology, and afterwards distributed in the boxes, pit, gal- lery, and particularly at the doors and where the tickets are paid. It is evident that I did every thing in snv power to have a sight to claim the indulgence of the public. Wiih respect to the epithet of being avaricious, which you have been pleased to confer on me,l have to say in answer, that if you take the trouble to look over the list of performers which I have engaged for the present season, besides the enormous expenses which every departa,ent of this theatre has cost this year, it wiU convince you that your letter is a series of base in. vectives, an(t assertions stated as facts without any proof. Sir, to conclute: should I be inclined to return to Italy, as you lhave suggested, you must be well aware that f should not carry ith me a letter such as yours;* but rather a sentence fnom a court of3ustite, which would empower me to announce to my countrymen that the laws of England equally protect foreigners as wel as its own citizens, weho endeavour to merit by their industry and talents the approbation of this hospitable 1ation.

Georgc Baker was indicted for a traud. Mlr. George Dare, a timber-merchant residing In Bermondsey, stated, that on tbe 8th of September last, the defendant applied to him for some timber and lathse upon credit; but he refused to let him have any credit, unless he could get the recommendati4n of some respectable person. He mentioned the name of Mr. Lilly, a solicitor, of Peckham, and witness told him he would be satistied with that gentleman's recommendation. The defendant went away and came back again with a letter, purporting to be written by Henry Fruntzen a clerk to 1>lr. I,illy, giving (by hAl. Lilly's re. quest) the defendant an excellent character; and adding, that he was deserving of opening an account writh the witness. n conse- queuce of this letter, he gave the defendant goods upon credit to the amnunt of 261.

William Spears, a sawyer, stated that be was eniployed by the de. fendant to take the laths from MIr.

John Rudd, a bricklayer, stated that he had worked at the two new houses in M1arlborough-place, atuded to by Mr. Joselih Dare, for the last 18 months, and during the whole of that timne the defendant had never worked tlhere. Mlostcertainlythedefendant did not build them. Mr. COWLEY addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant, and contended that the defendant hnd not done otherwase than was usually done to obtain credit; and that although he had not been building the houses he pointed out, yetit was true he had built some houses, and it was of no conseeuence in misstating the place. The jury found the prisoner Gu6ilty. Mr. 'H E S I G;R here intimated thate abill had been found against Fruntzen and Baker for a conspiracy: the object of the prosecutor was chiefly to punlish Frunizen.
