NAPLES AND SICILY.

A letter from Naples of the 16th, in a German
Journal, says—" We learn from a source worthy of
credit, that the Sicilian question is settled. FERDI-
NAND is in future to boar the title of FERDINAND IV.
111 Sicily, and FERDINAND V. in Naples."

A later account (dated 22,1) states that the King of
NAPLES has abandoned Sicily, and that the Neapoli
tan troops were about to evacuate the island. The
KING, in his proclamation, declares that he has been
forced to adopt this line of conduct, and appeals to
the Powers of Europe to assist him.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GooLßum)
IN RE G. GRAVES.
This bankrupt, who was described as of Norton Fol.
gate, cheesemonger, came up to pass his last examina-
tion. lie was opposed by Mr. Dods on behalf of the
assignees, and was supported by Mr. Lawrence.
The balance sheet which extended over seventeen
months, showed that the returns of the business had
been upwards of 10,0001.; but the profits had only
been 191.

His HoNotia expressed his astonishment that such a
business could only yield such a small profit.
The bankrupt attributed his losses to the failure of the
potato crop, which had materially affected the bacon
trade, and he had been compelled to sell at a loss.
Mr. LAWRENCE said the books had been well kept,
and the bankrupt started with a capital of 7001.
His HONOR said it was most reckless trading, but that
Was a question for the certificate.
The bankrupt then passed his examination.
