COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Juts• 27.

SIR G. DUCKETT, 51ORLAND, AND CD'S BANKRUPTCY.
A meeting of the creditors under the fist of bank-
ruptcy awarded against this banking firm was held
before Mr. Commissioner EVANS, for the further
proof of debts, and the declaration of dividends on
the joint and separate estates.
Among the debts proved since the last meeting,
were the following—viz. On behalf of the Royal
Institution, 152/. 7s ; the Literary Union Club,
2,3991. ; the Metropolitan Bread Company. 4,133/.
6s. 9d.; the Society for bettering the condition of
the Poor, 118/. 6.5. Rd, the West London A- socia-
tion, 9991.75. 8d• &c.

A claim was put in for about 2,0001. for furniture
supplied to Sir F. Bernard.

2.1 r. BRIGGS, the solicitor to the estate, called the
attention of the Commissioner to this charge. lie
had been informed that Sir F. Bernard had not ex-
pected the bill would have amounted to one half
this sum. The creditor, however, had offered to
submit his charges to any respectable tradesman and
to abide the result.

The COMMISSIONER said, the least that could be
done w•as that five per Cent. should be taken off the
bill.

Mr. Alnut, the creditor, said he could not consent
to any such reduction. He was a considerable cre-
ditor under the joint estate.

The claim was admitted.

Mr. BRIGGS, on a claim being put in for saddlery
supplied to young Mr. Duckett, said the assignees
had, in consequence of the debts of this young man
being so large, desired him (Mr. B.) to call the
attention of the Commissioner to the subject.
The COMIISSIONER a,ked who the goods had
been ordered by ; and on being informed that they
were ordered by Sir G. Duckett, directed the claim
to be admitted.

Mr. GOLDSMID, the official assignee, then pro-
ceeded to make out the accounts, preparatory to
the declination of a dividend out of the assets in hand.

This morning it was resolved todeeare a d:vidend
of 20s. in the pound on the separate estate of Sir
G. Duckett; 20s. in the pound on the estate of Sir
F. Bernard; a first dividend of 6s. Bd. in the pound
on the estate of Mr. Morland ; and 4s. 4d. in the
pound on the general estate of the bankrupts.
The declaration► of a dividend within the shortest
period allowed by law on the several and joint estates
of this banking establishment was the suhject of
much conversation and congratulation among the
creditors; and the new system, as regards the ad-
ministration of the bankrupt laws, it was remarked,
bore no comparison with the cold one, when divi-
dends were rarely or ever made, on such an extensive
bankrupt estate, until the lapse of at least twelve or
fifteen months after the issuing of the Commission.
It is expected that on those estates in which the
smaller dividends were declared to-day, the credi-
tors will ultimately recover the whole of the r claims

at Berlin. We learn upon good Authority that the re-
craitinz in Russia meets with mmy difficulties. This ac-
counts for the incorporation of Polish soldiers with Ru.sian
regiments, a measure which the Government would not
have bad recourse to without some urgent motives.
Russia cannot bring 400,000 men into the field."
