Discontent con— tinues, and a re.ailid'h is apprehended. The execution of two Bankers, and the confiscation of their property, together with other excesses of the SULTAN, have had a considerable effect in prejudicing the public mind against him ; but whether he will survive the storm he has raised it is impossible to foresee, though private accounts anticipate a frightful connter-revolution. The neighbourhood of Bethnal-green is infesval with an organized set of thieves, and scarcely a night passes without some of their depredations. Thursday evening as Mr. White, of Bethnal-green, was on his return home, he was attacked by several persons near Hare-street fi Ids, knocked down, and treated in a dreadful man- Ler. On Isis calling out " murder," t',e ruffians struck, : 1 ins With a large stone, and left him in a senseless state, Lilting 'with Them his hat, and property to a consider able amount. The same gang, it is suppose!, a,taciced and robbed an old Lady in Brick-lane. Thursday night, as Mr. Barrow, the son of a re spectable schoofinaster in Manchester, of that name, was returning home from Barton-upim-Irwell, he was attacked on the Eccles new road by three Irishmen, who set upon him with heavy b:adgeons, and after knocking him down and beating him about die head until he was rendered insensible, lobbed him of Lis watch, and all the money that he had about him.

SMCIERNESS Bpi Mt. Mr. Bishop, the Sheerness banker, was . brought up from the King's Bench prison, to pus his Anal examination. A long investigatiOn and discussion ensued, in conse quence of Mr. Beddome, the solicitor to tfie Commis kion, raising a trariqy of objections . relative to the amended balance-sheet put in by the.bankrtipt where in be bad debited certain persons with small sums bf money, who, as he (Mr. Beddome) was informed; tad a claim upon the bankrupt. Mr. Bishop, in explanation, observed that in a dialler like.this the debits and credits were extremely multi tudinous, and it was therefore impossible for him to rely upon his memory. He trusted to his books, and from them he had framed a balance-sheet, to the cor rectness of which he was ready to swear, according to the best of his knowledge. Mr. Beddome said be would refer to a matter of greater magnitude than those to which he had alluded. It appealed by the return that a certain estate was en cumbered with a mortgage of 4001. and he had reason to know that these had been a further advance of 4001., upon the same estate ; and that fact was not stated in the account delivered in. The banktupt admitted that such a second advance had been made; and after coMultiug his solicitor and accountant, he explained that bills were given for the second 4001. which either had been or would be paid. Mr. Commissioner Amami* said, that whether the bills had been paid or nut, the fact ought to have been stated : a bankrupt who had to swear to the truth of his statement, should have no manner of reservation. To say the least, the balance-sheet was neither expla natory nor satisfactory. Mr. BCDDOXE said, he did not desire to act with any severity toward the bankrupt, nor would he accuse him of intentional error; but at the same time be was bound, as the representative of the creditors, to object to an improper balance-sheet. Commissioner lirraorsis said, that u an honest man (and he would nut impute anything to the contrary), it was quite impossi ble that Mr. Bishop could swear to the schedule in its present de fective form ; the final examination must therefore stand adjourned until October next. It is said Commodore HAMILTON carried to Athens a Firman, obtained by the English Ambassador, commanding ICIOTAUT PAOLI to respect and preserve the antiquities of Athens. The Duke of Notteotac arrived at Arundel Castle, , on Monday, from his aquatic excursions. Tun PRINTERS' Suascairriotc—lt gives us great pleasure to be enabled to state, that the Subscription in aid of the unemployed Printers in the Metropolis con tinues to excite great int •resr, not only with those per sons more immediately connected with the trade, but with the public in general. In addition to Mr. STRAHANgS munificent gift of 501. the subscription list contains the name of the LORD MAYOR for 101. and the two Sheriffs,' KELLY and CROWTHER, for five guineas each. It appears from official returns, that the importation of cotton wool up to the end of August, 1826, is 136,000 bags less than up to the same period in 1825. The ex-, portation in 1826 is nearly double that of 1825, two and a half times more than that of 1824, and more than three times that of 1823. Monday night or Tuesday morning, a man named Lovell, a paymaster serjeant in the fourth company of the 53d Regiment, stationed at Stockport, absconded with a sum of money which he had received from his Officer on Monday, besides other sums he had borrowed from zome individuals in the town. A Greek captain is said to have betrayed the cause of independence at Athens, and to have gone over to the Turks with 500 men. The Pacha KIUTAKY immedi ately honoured him with the caftan, and discharged the as rears of pay due to his troop.

At the meeting held on the 26th ult. the jobbing in shares was much commented upon. It was then stated, that whilst a loss of 1,1141. 17s. 6d. had been charged to the Company for pre miums and brokerage on shares purchased by the Directors, the sum of 1,7131.155. produced by the pre miums of the Company's shares sold by the Directors had been claimed as their own. It was stated also that 1001. was given to each of thirteen Directors, of whom Lord PALMERSTON was one, and that the balance of 4131. 15s. was paid to Mr.Wruts. Lord PALMERSTON has sent back his 1001.. with a request to the Committee of Investigation that if he is not considered entitled to it, the sum may be paid to the funds of the Company. His Lordship had seldom attended, and he declined receiving nine guineas, the nine fees to which as a Director he was entitled for his nine attendances. MANCHESTER.--We understand the number of Lon don and country buyers who have been in the market within these few days, was much greater than for some weeks past, and therefore more business has been doing in finished goods. The demand for gray cloth continues pretty good, and the operations *of Many of the calico printers having been much impeded by want of water, . it is probable that the copious showers we have now had, • by tending to remove that deficiency, will bring those; of - them into the Market whom the drought bas hitherto kept out. The export demand for twist still continues; there is rio difficulty its effecting , sales, but we helievel prices are at present nu higher—ln some instances they are rather lower than they were three weeks ago. In , some pasts cif the 'country a considerable proportion of the bands who were unemployed have now obtained work, whilst in all the cotton districts employment is less scarce than it was. EXECUTION OF JOHN GREEN, FOR BURGLARY. — Saturday se'nnight the roads Chester Castle presented groups of people hut rying to witness the removal of this wretched man from the Castle to the city gaol. At twelve o'clock, the crowd assembled to witness the awful sight was very great,about which time Green was brought up to a room near the drop, attended by the Revs Mr. Iliskins ; he walked with a hesit air); step, and seemed dreadfull* dis'mayed. His lips appealed as it moving in silent prayer. in a few tninut.s after, he was , pinioned by the hangman (during, which ceremony he incessantly exclaimed, "'Oh Gel) have mercy on me! CIIRIST save me!") and was then led to the platform. Every thing being arranged, the cap was drawn over his eyes, and having remained in prayer a few minutes, tt.e drop fell s and he was laundhed into eternity. He did not st: uggle much, and his suffering appeared to be terminated almost in a nroment. After hanging the usual time, the body was cut down, dial delivered to j, his r.lations. • SURREY SESSIONS: Thomas Taylor was indicted for assaulting an infant under twelve ye irs - of age, under the following siesta. tar circumstances: •-• Mr. JaMUETT stated the case. The simple .facts 91 the case were these —The defendant thought proper to be monstrously annoyed at the young girl for playfully passing her time in or neat his quiet or important - do. micile. She so passed by, emoting herself with the children of her neighbours, and being of a pleasant and humourous disposition, she WAS technically termed " the Queen of her Young Coterie." In their rambles they might have exercised their lungs rather imMoile rately, but beyond this no mischief could be laid to their charge. The defendant, however, thought they raised their voices rather too high, and once or twice cautioned them against the to coMmissbn of an of fence so highly degrading to his sensitive ear. The young people, however, di d not discontinue their juve nile recreations, and the defendant determined to make them ; he coolly and deliberately pinioned the child, undressed her, and five or sift times ducked her in the Canal ; and then left her, *et and unprotected as she was, to put on her cldthevas she could ! Several witnesses were called to prove the statement of the Learned Counsel, amongst whom was the mother of the poor infant who, with great simplicity, de tailed to the Court the state of agitation and alarm she was thrown into by this circumstance. One neighbour ran to her, and told her her daughter was drowned ; another said she had been thrown into the Canal, and was nearly drowned ;.. a third said she had been Con veyed to a neighbouring house, in a state of insensibi lity. She declared that it was not her wish to injure the defendant, and she only hoped that his punishment might be the same, mental anxiety, and a correspond ing feeling of the maternat solicitude which she had undergone; and if he underwent that punishment he would not be inclined to repeat the inhumanity with which he was now charged. • The Cuataxas however, was not induced to suffer him to escape so easily, a nd therefore sentenced him to one month's hit prloonment and bard labour in the County Gaol. Mr. ORLANDO, one of the late Greek Deputies, has iett ibis country. ENGLISH OPERA Hovsx.—The new Farce of Before breakfast was performed, for the second time at this Theatre, on Saturday night, and was received through. out by a fashionable audience with unmingled applause. The excellent acting of all the performers in this Farce, particularly of Mr. MATHRwS, is enough to secure it a successful run. His personification of a Scotch servant was, in itself, a masterpiece of acting—the pronunciation of the Northern dialect was given to the very life.— Lying Made Easy, was followed by the Musical Farce of the Boarding House,. *hen Mr. Minims, as Peter Fidget, had again an opportunity of exerting his won. derful powers. His Songs of the Calais Packet, and the Nightingak MI6, were giien in his best style, and sent the crowded company home in the best humour._ &Prom Ptnact.—:-In reference to an article in our last, relative to the sloop Archduke having been myste riously carried out of Dundee harbour, we are now in formed that the vessel in question has been brought in to Dunbar, after having been on the rocks in that guar-. ter, and•abandoned by a sailor, the only one on beard. An official list of deaths has been published at Got tingen, from which it appeared that between the 20th of July and the 17th of August, MS persons had perished. 'As the annual rate of mortality is about Si in a fort- night, SO6 individuals may be considered as having fal len victims to the late fever. The Directors of the Bank of Scotland have an nounced their intention of reducing the rate of interest to three per cent. from the Ist of October, unless on money lying for six months or longer. They do not mention whether they are to reduce the rate of discount. Some 101. and 11. Bank of England notes (signed " J. Hogben,") have been passed within these few days in Worcester ; they were so well executed as to deceive the most practised eye. The public should be very care ful of whom they receive Bank notes. Attempts have also been recently made to pass notes of Country Banks which have long since stopped. YARMOUTH, SEPT. I.—Wednesday, information was given before CHARLES COSTERTON, Esq. Mayor, and a warrant obtained to search the house of Wm. Ebden, a Sheriff's officer, and who is also a poulterer, residing in the Excise Office-row, in this town, for the purpose of finding game supposed to have been poached. Our active Mayor's officer, Coble, upon executing the war rant, discovered no less than 28 brats of partridges, a hare, and five gate nTts, for which he (Ebden) was con victed under the Game Acts, and fined in the full pe nalty of 51. for each head of game, making 2831. Ebden having gained intelligence of the preiceedings against him upon a constable's approach, jumped out of the window, and has for the present escaped. FIRE IN SPITALPHILDS.—.About one o'clock on Sa turday morning a fire broke out in the premises in Booth -street, Spitalfields, occupied by Mr. Milner, the packer and presser in the Old 'Change. Mrs Milner occupied the premises in Booth-street in the business of calico-glazing and hot-pressing, and the fire was first discovered issuing from the top of the warehouse used as a drying room, containing a large quantity of va luable property, which is now completely destroyed, and the premises considerably damaged. Nothing but the speedy arrival of engines, and the great exertionsof the firemen, could have preserved any part of the build ings from total destruction. Mr. Milner has a steam engine on the premises, for the purpose of carrying on his business, and it is supposed that the Sue from die engine house, which immediately joins the drying room, ignited the lathe. The property was insured. A man, who passed by the name of Strange, with about 50 aliases, died on Tuesday, at the Eight Bells, in King -street, C-anterbury, arising from fright. The man, it would appear, the day before, in colsequence of the heat of the seather,ventured to bathe at Deal,whither he had been upon business. In a few minutes after he was immersed in the briny element, he found himself beyond his depth, and it was with difficulty he was saved. The fright arising from this circumstance was teo much for his nerves, and atter making the best way to his lodgings, he died. Strange had never been 'mown to wcrk, or to possess any'" visible means" of obtain ing a livelihood. After his death, however, some of the neighbours, hearing something fall into a copper in an out-house, had the curiosity to inspect it, when lo! 'the I. visible means" of the defunct and family came to light in the shape of a parcel, containing half crowns and shillings, to the amount of 221.105. in an unfinished state, which write taken possession ot. Sixty lie healthy boys, who were about to be sent into the Royal Navy by the Marine Society, were march ed round the Exchange OR Saturday,. and cheered the .Merchants. RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ORDER OF MALTA. - _ A German ppper contains the folbwing speculation respecting 'the' resurreci itin of the oraer of St. John of Jerusalem. It seems to be taken for granted that Gen tlemen with long pedigrees cannot fight against the Infidel, without getting possession, like Sancho Panza, of an island, and burrowing in a convent : FROM THE FRONTIERS OF ITALY, Aua.l7. However strange it may seem that Lira . C.ohiane should, take such a lively interest in the estahli,lmserit of the order of St. John of Jerusalem, as Fienchionrnals affirm that he dries, the report appears not to be confined to the salons of Pails, but to gain credit in Italy itself. According to a private letter from a great city in that country, the Admiral and the principal perscns inter ested in the re-establishment of.the order as . 'illivereign Power, 1120 not only made same arrangements, but even positive agreements in the mode of proceeding in case the plait should succeed. It is affirmed that it has been determined, that in future, the possession of the Roman Catholic religion shall not be an indisperlsahle condi tion of admission into the order ; that two new divisions or maiims (lOngues) shall be introduced, one for' knights of the Greek religion, the other for those of the Protes tant religion. Only the Grand Master must necessarily be a Roman Catholic, because it would otherwise be impossible to maintain the connexion with the P.ipal See, which it is intended to do. With respect to the other Military and Civil Officers, Knights of any of the Christian confessions shall be admissible to them, ant Lord Cochratit himself shall be Commander-in-Chief of the Military and Naval Force which the Order 'can collect under its banners. We must wait for time to tell ns what truth there be in these statements : mean time, it may be worth while to observe, that a similar plan was in agitation at the time of the insurrection of Prince Alexander Ipsilanti in Moldavia and Wallachia, Only that according to the reports then in circulation, those two principalities (and not the Island of Rhodes) were proposed as the seat of the Order. • PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY ON PAROCHIAL EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND. ABERDOUR. 1. The salary in this parish, so early as 1700, was 100 merits Scots, half money, half meal; the money paid by the traitors, and the meal by tenants, in small quantities, in proportion to their farms, and collected by the schoohnaster himself. The school fees must kale been small, but not ascertained. 2. From 1780 to 1803, when the last Act passed, the salary was the same as before, and paid in the same manner ; the branches taught were Latin, English, arithmetic, practical mathematics, navigation, bookkeeping, &c. &e. By that period sehoolmasitvrs were gene rally men of finished education. The school fees Is. per quarter for English; is. 6d. arithmetic; and us. 6d. for Latin. 3. Salary from 1803 to 1824, 300 merks, boils meal for the garden, convened at 13e. 10d. per boll; no house required, the irchoolanaster having a house before near the school.

Only one schoolmaster established upon the legal provision, and the school fees will not exceed 101. per annum • many of the people being poor, and unable to pay fees; and thei r children are 'sot debarred from school, but are taught gratis. 4. The school fees since 1803, as then flied by the Heaitors, are, fee Latin Ss. per quarter; for arithmetic 4s. and for English 3s. per quarter. 7. The average number of scholars ate from us to 30 through the year. In winter pretty full, in summer not so full. S. The present schoolmaster having gone through a regular cosine of academical learning, is capable to teach all branches that may be required—vie. languages, particularly mathematics, arithmetic, writing, English, &c. 10. The distance at which children go to school henry various, being from one-fourth of a mile to two miles distant. IL There are six or seven farms, at four or live miles distance, containing about one hundred inhabitants, but ate within a smile oc two of other schools, where the children do go. 14, The population of this parish is 1,500 ; and in a village aboist half a mile distant are 200 inhabitants. •There is also a Fish town, containing about 100 inhabitants in the parish. An article from Moscow of the 7th August, gives some farther particulars of the arrival of their Larders'. 'l4lasarrixs at that capital, and of the fetes by which it was celebrated. It is evident, from the nature of this information, that the reported illness of the new &amass had no foundation, at least at the date of these letters. As she was a Princess of Wirtemberg before she came to the Russian tenwrythe-inhabitants of the Ger. mao colony of Marienthal, who are all natives of Wir temberg, came. in their national costume to present to her fruits, milk, butter, cheese, &c. and were received in the most gracious manner. Thursday evening, the brother of Sir ROBERT Wit. sos, and his friend, prepared their fowling.pieces form shooting excursion on the estates of Sir Rosser WIL SON, at Retching; and, on the following morning, by some fatal mishap, one of the guns went off, the whole charge of which entered the breast of the former Gen. tleman, who fell and instantly ezpiied.
