Tlie late Mr.Colton Mr. Colton.or as he was vulgarly called,Parson Col- ‘ ton, arrived in Paris in the year 1825 or 1820 from i America, to which country lie sailed from England I shortly previous to the murder ofWeare. He was at that time in possession ot very little money; this ! small stock he increased by borrowing upon the se curity ot some valuable jewelry which he took out lrom his creditor- in this country. With this sum he commenced hi-s career r. player at the public I gaming-tables in Pari- more particularly that at 154 ! in the Palais-Royal. The system upon which he played was at once bold and original, and attended with groat success. I have good autherty this own) > for stating, he was at one period a winner of up ; wards ofslo,ooo. He subsequently lost nearly half ! this sum. and he expended the remainder in paint- ! ings by the ancient masters, of which, in'the year 1828, 1 he had a splendid collection. These pictures he in tended for the English market; but in the latter part j of the same year, he became unfortunate at the gam- I ing tables, and were parted with by degrees, * the proceeds 10-r, and their late owner, in a short ! time, reduced to beggary, or nearly so. His last 1 it- j erary labor, if it is worthy of the name, was a his- i tory oftho Three Days of July, pu: , hc-d by Cali . gani. In person, Mr. Colton was ungainly; ho stooped much, hisjgait was slovenly, and his dress mean and : dirty : the reason he assigned for not removing the i dirt:hat accumulated on the lower part of his trou- i sera and upon his boots, was that none but shoe- j black ßs looked below the knee in so dirty a city as ; Paris. As it fond of contradiction, he wore nt the ! sameg time a ridiculous superfluity of jewelry; hi unwashed hands were ad’ ur'ei with rings, and his i shirt, which probably chad not visited his hlanchiss ettscjtor a fortnight, w'as earnished with numeio is brooches and pins ot considerable value. A heavy gold chain secured his watch n his waitcoat pocket and he carried two massive gold boxes, one for snuff though lie took none himself, and the other for to bacco. His face was pale an < emaciated, the cheek bones remarkebly prominent; his left arm was con siderly contracted as he was fond if saying from a pistol wound received in a duel. His habits were ! low ; when nor at the aiming hou ; e, he was to be found in one of the lower English houses, smoking • and drinking, entertaining Ins pot companions, and acting whatis vulgarly i. me - kin- i.fthe com pany.’’ He p . -so sedufunuct ancc; ote and wit. ! and had his manners b*cn more polished, and his character le.-E exceptional h, his society would ! doubtle s have been much courted. His lodgings, which were in the Palais-Royal, i above the Case Phconix. were particularly filthy ,*his bedroom, into which all visitors were shown, was ; truly disgusting ; though he. had at thesame time two sitting-Irooms handsomely furnished, which were constantly locked, and into which he himself pejlikps did not enter on i:i a thopth. An anecdote, which , he related to me. will tend to illustrate his character | and sty.e of living. A pair ofhis pantaltmns became much worn in the pockc ts, and he took them to r tailor to be repaired- They were brougi t home when he wa- absent, and leftbelpvv with the porter who gave them to him on his return. The follow ing morning the taillcur called, while Colton was still in bed. lor the cash; he was shown in o the bed-room by the mis: Table little urchin who attend* I ed daily to light the tire, &c, and demanded in pay ment twenty tons ; this was resisted on the part of Colton us exorbitant, and the tatllcur, vexed ,t hav ing parted with his work before pay men..-eizedapair ! that were at the them the .-.mie ! that he had stitched.) and whs about to quh r! ■ . . >m i with them security; when the reverend man, drawing a pistol from under his pillow, and presenting it at the terrified men of gar mente, swore he would favor him wiiii the content: unless the pantaloons wore” replaced: this wa? cl course complied with, and our indig.ia.it lalllmr immediately proceeded to Monsieur le Commissaire . who dispatched messengers to require the attend ance of the party who had thus tl; r* - :t. ted the life ■ t ‘ a citizen of Paris. Colton then ( “plained that the pantaloons of which the plaintiff had t ken possess ion, were those he had worn on the proceeding day, and contained cash that he had brought from inghouse to the amount of nearly 20007. die was of course discharged bn payment of the t wenty sous to the tailor. Although generally considered mean, I have much j pleasure iu statiugj that I” have known him per form many acts of charity, frequently giving a din- , ner to somejof his reduced countrymen, (of wlioni j there are too many in Paris,) and occasionally assist- j ing them, with small sums of money. It has been) stated that the dread of an operat on which becan e ; necessary for a complaint under which lie labored, < was thecause ofhis suicide; this I much doubt since ! I have never met with a man of greater fortitude und j stronger nerve. lam rather disposed to think that the depressed state of his finances, severing the only ‘ hold he had on his diesolate associates, andthe atten tion paid too often to wealth, though accompanied by vice, having disappeared, he found himself pen niless and despised; in l was without religious con- j solation; his health declined-—his spiiits were bro ken; he was. and felt himself, alone in the world, without friends and without commiseration, andia a moment of desperation he put a period to his reck less existence! I have phased many hours in his society, pleased j with Ms wit and 4piffrfinunatic sallies; but his con versation was ever egotistical in the extreme: the bold assertion tji at his Laron was the mo.-t eleven work in the Knglish language, was ever on Iris lips ; and I regret to add,obscenity and irreligion too often supplied the place of wit or rational converse. ‘ [ Mirror.

We only know the gentlemen who constitute the j j Association from reputation, but are pleased to learn I 1 from thu Georgian of yesterday that their names are j a guarantee of the triumphant success of the scheme* j ; The advantages resulting from the location of a J j Medical School in Savannah are numerous, and ob- j ! vious: and We hail the project as supplying one of i ; the few remaining wants of Savannah. Our city has j j never yet been distinguished lor her scientific or lit. i I erary Institutions, (why not,we cannot imagine) but we hope tne Medical Institute will leave us nothing 1 more to desire. May the enterprise redound to the honor of its founders, and their sc ieupe, and soon at ‘ tain, a prominence to which we can piont with pride. ‘Ojf* The Sardinian government has had a propo sition made to it by Mr. Brett the English patentee i of the Printing Telegraph, to construct a submarine telegraph from Spezzia to Corsica and Sardinia, which might also connect with France and] Algeria.

A geutie j man who passed through our city yesterday says j John was up before tlie Mayor in Philadelphia on ; Tuesday last, while a friend at our elbow pronoun cea it a vile slander for his grandmother told him that she knew John well, and that he died while she was ) i in her teens.

A young opera-singer of Munich”, who trav elled with me, having worn himself out by excels of joking and laughing.during the day, became sleepy in the evening, and. not occupying a corner of the coach, found his head rather inconvenient. A Ba varian lady who sat nextto him, protested that she could never sleep in a coach, surrendered her place to him,and in a few minutes his head was recum bent on her shoulder, his arm round her Waist, and he slept profoundly. When the coac h stopped to change horses I walked with my musical friend to view the ruins of a little Gothic church in the moon light ; and on asking him if he was acquainted with the lady on whos shoulder he had slept s.o well, he replica, “I have never seen her before, but we do these things fox* one another in Bavaria/” Travels in Bavaria. A gentleman who had listened attentively to a long, diffuse and highly ornamental prayar, was ask ed by one of the m rnbers, “if he did not think the minister was very gifted in prayer ?” “ Yes,” he replied, “ 1 think it is as good a prayer a9 was ever offered to a congregation .” The Glorious Uncertainties of the Law. The most litigious fellow l ever knew, was 1 Welsh man named Bones. He had got possession,by some means or other, of a bit of waste ground behind a public house in ilogwash Street. Adjoining this land was a yard, belonging to the parish ol St. Jeremiah, which the Parish Jrustees were fencing in with a wall. Bones alleged that one corner of their wull i was advanced about ten inches on his ground, and as they declined, to remove it back, he kicked down the brickwork before the mortar was diy. The Trustees, having satisfied themselves ti 1 at they were not only within their ojvn beundary, but tlint they lelt Bones s me fe**t of theparish land to boot, built up the wqli again. Bones kicked it down again.— The Trustees put it up a third time, under the protection of a policeman. The inexorable Bnu/cs,in spite of the awlul preoqee of this functionary, not only kicked down the wall again, but kicked the bricklayers into tlie bargain. This was too yiuch and Rohe-* wasmarchedjoff'to Guildhall,for assaulting the bricklayers. The magistrate rather pooh- ooh ed the complaint, but bound ovr Bones to keep the peace. Th e-causi belli, the wall was re-edified a fourth time , but when the Trustees jrevisited ‘the place next morning, it was again in runs! While they weie in consultation upon this last insult, tin y were politely Waited upon by an attorney’s clerk, who served thbm all with “ writs” iu aq action of 1 trespass, at the suit of Bones, for encroaching on his j land. Thus war was declared ab ut a dirty piece of j land, literally not so big as a door-step,and the whole i fee-simple of which would not sell for a shilling. ! Th Trustees, however, thought they ought not to ! give up the l ight- of the parish to the obstinacy of a ; perverse fellow, like Bones, and resolved to indict j Bones for assaulting tlie workmen. Accordingly,the action and indictnn nt went tog*-th- ‘ er. The action was tried first, and as the evidence | clearly showed the Trustees had kept within their I own boundary, they got the verdict. Bones moved | for anew trial; that failed. The Trustees now tho’t ■ they would let the matter rest, as it had cost the par ish about one hundred and fifty pounds, and they i supposed that Bones had hadenou. hos it. But they j had mistaken their man. He brought a writ of error i in tho action, which carried the cause into the Ex- j chequer Court, and tied it up nearly two years, and 1 in themaen time h :fo:*c-*.i them, nolens vole ns, to j try the indictment When the trial came on,‘Uie | judge said, that as the whole question bad been de cided in the action, there was no occasion for any I iurther proceedings, aid therefi re the defendant had i better be acquitted, and so make an end of it. Ac- ! cording, Bones was acquitt b ; and the very next j thing Bones did. was to sue the Trustees in anew 1 action, for maliciously instituting the indictment against him, without reasonable cause ! The new ac- i Don went on to trial, and it being proved that one* of j the ‘J rustees had been overheard to say that they ; would punish him, tttis was taken as evidt need’ ma- ! lice, and Bones got a verdict ol forty shillings dama- ! geo, besides all tile-costs. Elated with this victory, ! Bones pushed on liis old action in tlie Exchequer : Chamber to a hearing, but the Court affirmed the I judgment against him, without hearing the Trustees, ! counsel. The Trustees were now sic!’; of tlie very name of Bones, which had Become a .-qrt of bugbear, so ttiat it a friend ni. t a Trustee in tlie street, he would be : greeted With *u inquiry* after ti 10 health of hUfriend Mr. Belies. They would then have giadly fi t Uie j whole matter drop into oblivion, hut Jupiter and ‘ Bones had determined otherwise ; for the indomita* | hie Bones brought a writ of error in the House of j Lords, on tho judgment of the Exchequer Cnauiber. 1 The unhappy Trust es had caught a Tartar, and 10l- j low him into the House of Lords they must. Ac cordingly. after another year or two's delay, the case 1 came on in the Lords. Their Lordships pronounced ! it the most trumpery writ of error they had ever j seen, and again affirmed the judgment, with costs, j against Bones, The Trustees now taxed their costs, I and found that they had spent not less than fivehun- ‘ died poems in defending their claim to a bit of ground that was not of the value of an old shoo, But ! then, Bones was condemned to pay thecosls. True; j so they issued ex* cution against Bones ; caught him | alter some trouble, and locked him up in jail. \ The next we< k, Bones petitioned the insolvent Court, got out ot prison, and, on examination of i schedule, his effects appe redto! “0.05.0d. ! Bones i had in fact been fighting the Trustees on credit for ! the lasttfiree years : for his own attorney was put j down as a creditor to a largo • ount, which was the only satisfaction tho TANARUS: . ter- obtained from I perusing hi 3 Fchcd.ule.Thpy were .now obliged to have recourse to the Parish’ muds to pay I'ifir Gv.*i law expenses, and were consoling them sniv-■; wiih the reflection that Ihesedid notcome out L acir own pocket s, when they -received the ustat notification that a hill in Chancery had b*>etrß% agains t them, nt Mr. Bon-s's suit, th overhauctlumf accounts with the Parish, and prevent the misappl*% cation of the Parish money to the payment of tu£iT “ uivvcohij!
