A noteworthy instance of commercial morality (says the Liverpool Mercury) is announced by Mr Peter Bancroft, of Apsley Buildings, Oldhall-street. On Saturday last he received an unsigned letter, in which was enclosed a bank note for £1 00. The only information vouched by the sender was that the bank nete was the amount of an old, debt and accumulated interest, which he was sorry not to have been in a position to forward to Mr Bancroft before. Mr Bancroft has not the slightest idea from whom he has received this conscience-money.
