ship company in hopeless confusion. They
owe sum equal to about two hundred thou
sand dollars, and have scarcely any means
TO meet it. A mortgage of the ship appears
inevitable. The directors called meeting
for the 18th instant, but now seem to rccoiI
from it, and are cndeavoling to postpone the
ordeal to the middle Of january. The Board
room has long been understood to be a scene
OF constant reciminations, and sotne Of The
shareholders talk of throwing the case into

amount to nearly five hundred thousand
dollars while he on the Other hand sets up Il
handsome demand for :" extras"
