Barran PaoTRRTY IN SWEDIN.-...A Meeting was
held yesterday at the Merchant Seamen's Office, of
persons interested in the property seized some time
ago in the ports of Sweden, by order of the Swedish
Government. It was stated to the Meeting, that the
Swedish Government had restored 4100,000 of the

seized, property, and farther restoration was expected
to be made. The only question to be considered was
the most expedient way of dividing the same. equally
and fairly amongst the whole of the sufferers. A
deed of trust was considered the most eligible • mode
of proceeding. It was suggested, however, by a gen-
tleman present, that by obtaining an Act of Parlia-
meat to authorize the division of the monies restored,
the end proposed would be better attaintd, as those
acting under a deed of trust might be called upon by
claimants years after the account was closed ; but an
Act of Parliament would be a complete answer to
those who did not come forward within a prescribed
period. After some farther discussion, the arrange-
ment of this matter was left with the Committee.
LATHAM AND PARRY'S BANRUPTCY.OD Tuesday
the creditors of Messrs. LATHAM and PARRY met for
the first time at Guildhall, to prove their debts under
this commission.

Mr. Mowravee attended as Commissioner.
Mr. Ds TASTW4 the principal creditor, made a
claim on the estate for £86,000, being the balance
due to him from Mr. PARRY, allowing that all the
genuine bills he held in his hands were paid, for which
he had given the account credit.
Mr. MONTAGUE rejected the claim altogether, on
the ground, that Mr. PARRY had made over to
Mr. 13e TAsrtr rums, brandies, &c. to the amount
of several thousand pounds, subsequent to his having
committed an act of bankruptcy; and that, in con-
sequence, such property ought to be given up for
the benefit of the creditors at large. Mr. MONTAGUE
stated, that on Thursday, the 14th instant, Mr. DE
TASTET was fully aware that the bills he held from
Mr. PARRY were not valid securities, and it was sub-
sequent to that period that property t 6 an immense
value had been transferred by him to Mr. Da Tasrirr.
For these reasons he could not admit the present
claim of Mr. Da Tann, nor that he should be-
come the sole Assignee, in compliance with his wish.
Mr. MONTAGUE examined Mr. De TASTET as to
his first acquaintance with Mr. PARRY, and relative
to the transactions between them ; but he said he
would decline interrogating him on other points rela-
tive to the invalid bill,, in the hope that Mr. Di TAs.
Ter would see the expediency of giving up that pro-
perty, which he conceived belonged to the estate ;
and himself partake of it in proportion with the rest
of the creditors.
Mr. FRANKLAND attended as Counsel for Mr. Dr
TASTET, and maintained the right of claim of his
client, using various arguments in support of it. The
Commissioners, however, did not accord with him on
the occasion.
Mr. LATHAM was examined as to his knowledge
of the recent transactions of Mr. PARRY. He de-
clared that he was entirely a stranger to the whole of
this business. That in consequence of a complaint
in his bead, for which he was recommended violent
exercise on horseback, he had been induced to resign
the whole of the countingehouse concerns into the
hands of Mr. PARRY, who had the entire superinten-
dance of them ; and the better to keep him in the
dark; Mr. PARRY had, in some instances, two sets of
books, and resorted to other means which rendered It
difficult to detect him.

himself with a pistol loaded with slugs, which went
through his bead, and literally bespattered his brains
