The Failures and Meetings OF Creditors.

was hoped that by the assistance OF their friends
they would be enabled to prevent a suspension of
payments even for short period.
Our last reported the suspension of Cotesworth,
Powell, and Pryor, of London, largely concern
ed In the South American trade. Their liabill
ties are now estimated at E35 900 and their
suspension has produced the failures of J. An

ties of Messrs. w. and A. Taylor amount to
Gl2 goo; Messrs, Gllmour and Kerr as much as
NADIA merchants, ESQ 900; Mr.. John Lacy, in the
Berbice trade, $4,000 To the above list has
to be added the house of Messrs Anderson,
McGregor and Co., with liabilities of about
$4,000.

Their Liabilities have turaed out to be f29, 9l7,
while their assets are GSI93. An offer of a compo-

months, the hnal paymentto be properly secured,
which,, at meetlng of the creditors had been
virtually accep ed.
The failure OF several extensive banking houses

the London houses generally, with the exception
OF Messrs, Heilbutt, Rubens & Co., of Mark
lane, merchants and general agents, who have
suspended, will not be affected thereby. The
chief loss will fall on PARIS, where Mr.. julius
cohen has stopped payment, with Liabilities in
that city alone to the extent of $500
Messrs. kantzou and Biel, who are at the head
OF the principal mercantile house of Stockholm,
have also failed: Their liabilities amount to
100000 rix dollars, (6,000 000f,) and their as
sets, which comprise great deal ofimmoveabe
property, hardly reach fve-twelfths of that
sum.
