COURT OF COYINISSIONRRS, Gbuauii, Sittinissa. s.

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

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

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.

WELSH IRON Comeativ.—Lord PALMERSTON has
sent in his resignation as a Director of the Welsh Iron
and Coal Mining Scheme. 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 fells 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.
