John Young, of the firm of Coleman, Turquard,
Youngs, and Co., accountants. The assets are
estimated as above, taking the shipments to Aus-
tralia at invoice price and charges, lea the ad-
vance. and assuming that the debts due for goods
shipped to order are good. The short period that
has elapsed since the stoppage has precluded the
preparation of a complete statement, but it has bent
deemed advisable to call the principal creditors

for the protection of the property in Australia,
previous to the departure of the mail of the 26th

appoint a comutitkie for this and other purposes.
