EXTENSIVE FAILURE. The failure was an-
nounced yesterday of Messrs. Smith and Co., of the
Whitechapel Distillery, a large and old establishment.
The exact amount of the liabilities has not transpired, but
it is supposed that although the aggregate may be con-
siderable, the unsecured portion is not more than £20,000
or £25,000. The partners express hopes of a favourable
liquidation, which, however, will most probably depend
on the premises and plant being kept in working order, so
as to realise a fair value. It is stated that the firm is now
unconnected with that of their relatives, Messrs. J. S.
Smith and Co., of the Pheenix Distillery,. Mile-end, and
that the latter will not be compromised in the slightest
degree by the disaster. Annexed is the circular issued :
" Whitechapel Distillery, London, N.
Sept. 26.—We
deeply regret to inform you that, owing to the long-con-
tinued depression in our trade, we are unable to meet our
engagements as they become due. We confidently believe
that time only will be needed to enable us to discharge all
our liabilities in fall. Mr. Lowell Price, of Gresham.,
street, will prepare a statement of our affairs, which, with
a proposal for the liquidation. of our debts, shall be sub-
mitted to a meeting of our creditors, to be called on the
earliest possible day.—We are, &c., SMITH AND Co,"
