dered against them in the Supreme Court for about sllOo II
favor Of Capt Nolteno, and process served on them by Mar
shall Parke, they, in order to save their other creditors, wen
into Bankruptcy on tie 10Th inst Assignees will probably b.
appointed by the Court next week. In the mean time. Marshal
Parke las possession Of sheir assets. The result will be tina,
the Affairs % the firm viii go into liquidation, and probably IN.
eight or ten plantations involved with them will have to he
closed out at public or private sale. The steamer X iAauea and
