REPORT TO THE PROPRIBToRS OF TIIE UNION BANK OF LONDON. • The following report on the recent frauds of their chief cashier has been issued this evening by the Union Bank of London. It gives a clear summary of the means employed, and confirms the anticipa tions as to the degree of loss sustained, the total being £263,000. A small proportion of this ninv be recovered, but the directors propose to meet the evil at once by writing off .f;2 per share, or £120,000 from the capital, which was increased to that ex tent by a bonus in July last, by appropriating the exis,ing reserve fund of £lOO,OOO, and by deducting £lO,OOO from the divisible profits of the twelve months ending on the 30th of June next. This will leave the concern with its original capital intact, and also with a sufficient surplus to declare a 5 per cent. dividend at the next meeting, which, with the per cent. already paid, will make 121 per cent. for the year. As there is no reason to suppose that the bank will lose a single customer from this un happy event, it may be hoped that the confidence expressed by the directors that a few years will re store it to its natural state of prosperity may be fully realised. It is with deep regret that the directors have to communicate to the proprietors that they have dis covered very large frauds committed by their late chief cashier, William George Pullinger, and with as little delay as possible they lay before the pro prietors a statement of the facts, and submit the course which, upon a careful consideration of the circumstances, they recommend for meeting the loss which has been susteined. William Geo. Pullinger was appointed a cashier of this bank in April, 1839, having previously held a similar situation in the banking-house of Sir Claude Scott and Co., and after 16 years of most efficient, zealous, and, it is still believed, faithful service in subordinate capacities, was, about fire years ago, raised to the situation of chief cashier, and such was the confidence reposed in him by the directors and manager and their satisfaction with the manner in which he discharged his duties, that about three months since they voluntarily raised his salary to £6OO per annum. His duties as chief cashier were to superintend the other cashiers, to procure cheques for money, to keep their tills supplied; and it devolved upon him to pay all cheques, gold and silver coin, bank-notes, &c.,whichwere not required for the purposes of this bank, to the Bank of England, accompanied by a docket specifying the particulars of each payment, and by the pass-book of the Bank of England, which was necessarily in his official charge, an account of these payments being also furnished by Pullinger to the principal ledger keeper. In the ordinary course of business, Pullinger daily sent a junior clerk for the pass-book, which contained the acknowledgment by the Bank of England of the cash paid in, and it was the duty of Pullinger to deliver the pass-book to the ledger keeper, whose duty it would then become to check the entries in it against the Bank of England by the items in his ledger. The ledger keeper, on finding his account tally with the pass-book, would report the Bank of England balance to the ac countant, to be posted in the general ledger, when any error in the Bank of England balance would disturb the general balance of the day, and become the subject of investigation. On Thursday last, the 19th inst., in consequence of some information, application was made to the Bank of England for their statement of the balance of this bank, when a deficit of no less than £263,070 Bs. 10d. was discovered. Pullinger, who was absent at the time attending a funeral of a relative, was immediately followed by a director and the manager and b: ought back, when he at once confused that from losses on the Stock Exchange he hid from time to time, since his appointaient es chief cashier, abstracted large sums frqen the charges taken over to the Bank of England, which he had concealed from the ledger keeper by exhibiting to him a fabricated pass-book, in which the balance agreed with what it appeared in the accountant's general ledger. He was t len given into custody. 1 It may be proper to state here that the supposed balance at the bank of England.was £569,700 164. 2d., while the certified balance was £306,636 is. 4(1., exhibiting a dcficit of £263,070 Bs. 10d. The directors now proceed to state the course they recommend for meeting this loss, and they feel assured that the proprietors will concur with them in opinion that it should be done promptly and effectually. In July last the sum of £120,000 was transferred from the reserved fund to the capital ac count. It is now proposed to retransfer this sum from that account, and to appropriate the fui Lher sum of £lOO,OOO, the amount of the existing re served fund, towards meeting the present defalca tions, an npplication of this fund specially contem plated in the deed of settlement for meeting unforeseen losses.' The balance of the deficiency, about £40,000, will he paid out of the accrued and accruing profits of the present year, which the di rectors confidently anticipate will further enable them to declare a dividend of 5 per cent. for the six months ending 30th June next, which, with the dividend and bonus paid in January last, will be a total payment of 12 1 ; per cent. for the year. The directors hope that some of this large amount may be recovered, although it would be in expedient to enter into details on this subject at present; but they will not take these matters into calculation now. They prefer taking the maximum fors which can he sustained ; and they feel that the honour and credit of the Union Bank of London, and the true interests of their copartners, are best consulted by at once liquidating that amount, con fidently believing, as they do, that with the original paid-up capital intact, a few years' profits of their business will enable them to replace all that has now been lost without interfering with the usual dividends paid to the proprietors. While it is certainly satisfactory to be able to meet so large a loss out of the reserved profits of the bank without trenching on the original paid-up capital, the directors find it impossible adequately to express their regret and mortification that such a crime could have been successfully perpetrated under the system of checks which has been in opera tion since the establishment of the bark. No ex tensive business can be carried on without reposing i confidence in those employed n it, and in the pr . , - sent case the directors felt jastifi , , , d in reposing in Pullinger the confidence necessary for the discharge of his duties ; he had been in the employment of the bank since its commencement, his attendance was unremitting, his industry and talents conspicuous, his expenditure appeared consistent with his posi tion and salary, and his domestic habits were be lieved to be correct and creditable. It now appears that for a long time he had been engaged in an ex tensive system of time bargains on the Stock Exchange. The system of checks in operation in the bank was framed mainly on that existing in the Bank of England, and the directors have, with this exception, found it effectual. For the first time during 21 years the directors are unable to address their copartners in those terms of congratulation which they have used since the establishment of the bank, and for the first time during that long period has the steady and remark able success of the bank been interrupted. They believed they had taken every necessary precaution which experience dictated, and which, so long as those precautions were strictly observed by all those through whose hands Pullinger's ac counts passed, had proved, and would have continued to prove, effectual; nor can the directors claim for themselves, or from those in their employment, exemption from those feelings of confidence which long association and services (for many years efficiently and honestly performed) are calculated to engender. The confidence of their devoted manager, Mr. Scrimgeour, no less than their own has been grievously abused, and the directors would do violence to their own feelings and sense of justice were they not to express their sym pathy with their friend and officer under these unfortunate and mortifying circumstances. In point of magnitude, the defalcations of Pul linger throw those of PtobFon into the shade, and even exceed those of Redpat h. The amount involved in the latter case, it will be remembered, was about £240,0Z0. Pullinger's method of proceeding was simple. The whole of the large payments into the Bank of England passed through his hands. For a lengthened period he passed them in with regularity. Finding then that he possessed vir tually the entire control of these funds, inasmuch as the pass-book formed the sole check upon him, it occurred to him, in a moment of temptation, to appropriate money and falsify the pass book. Emboldened by success, he persevered in his crime, and carried his misappropriations to the almost incredible extent above men tioned, keeping systematically the real pass-book for himself, and presenting ft fic titious one to his fellow-officers. The largeness of the balance habitually kept by the Union Bank at the Bank of England precluded the chance of discovery through any heavy draughts being made THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1860./ lIER MAJESTY'S LEVEE.

GREAT BOAT RACE FOR TWO HUNDRED POUNDS. HENRY CI, SPER, orNEwc ,STLEV. GEORGE 1314EW1 IT, or CREL'IEA.—There are no rowing matches which create greater interest than those in which South become anta gonistic to the North, and Thames is opposed to Tyne ; and when the gallant Harry Clasper, the "hero of a hun dred fights," is one of the competitors, the interest is even greater, as through a long course of N:ctories, with very few defeats, his career has been strictly an honourable one, and he has in his time, in sculling, pair-oared, four-oared, and eight-oared boats, been pitted against the late Robert Coombes (champion of the Thames fur the unparalleled p er i o d o f seven y ears ), Robert Newell, Wm. Pocock, John Phelps, and other great men of the day ; besides which he has had to contend against picked London watermen of the present time, and has in the face of all difficulties frequently carried off, with his brave comrades, the £lOO prize at the Thames Regatta, the symbol of the four-oared championship of the Thames. At over 50 years of age it might naturally be supposed that the veteran North countryman ought to retire on his laurels; but he does not think so, and, like a brave fellow, never means to own himself defeated till inexorable Time claims him as his own. Nearly a year ago, when Drewitt was training Campbell at Glasgow, Clasper was desirous of try ing his strength against Drewitt. The affair at that time ended in smoke, and nothing of a definite character was done till a few months since, when a match vi as entered into between them, and it was decided that they should row on the 24th of April for £lOO a- side, from the High tevel bridge to Scotswood Suspension-bridge, on the Tyne, a dis tance nearly corresponding with the course between Putney and Mortlake, on the Thames. Looking at the two men, the race seemed at first sight to be almost a certainty for Drewitt, who is many years Chg.. per's junior, and has besides, although only a landsman, proved himself to be so fine a sculler as to hold the third place on the river Thames. His health, however, is none of the best, while the veteran Harry is rarely ill, and this fact, combined with the Chelsea hero being strange to the Tyne, rendered his friends less sanguine than they would otherwise have been. Shortly after six o'clock the men went to their stations, it having been arranged that the start should be about 100 yards above the High Level-bridge, in order to avoid being hampered by the numerous steamers which accompanied them. The men were accompanied by their trainers, Robt. Chambers, the renowned champion of the Thames, for Clasper; and Wm. Blake, of Chelsea, for Drewitt. Both men looked well, and having prepared themselves, the race began, and a very gallant one it was, but youth would not be denied, Drewitt soon led, and although the veteran tried his hardest to get into the foremost position, he was not destined to succeed, for Drewitt ultimately came in first by two lengths. Betting at starting was nearly level. MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—To-day there prevails a better feeling, with an increased demand for yarns and cloths of most sorts, with a tendency to higher rates, which buyers generally concede. There are more inquiries for yarns by the buyers for Ger many, also for India ; and some business has been transacted at rather higher prices than were current last week. STOPPAGE OF FLEET-STREET.—Yesterday a num ber of men were employed, in compliance with directions from the City Commissioners of Sewers, taking up the carriage thoroughfare in Fleet-street, and which will be relaid as rapidly as possible, in order that the traffic may be resumed. 'The operations have commenced at the lower end of Fleet-street, near Bridge-street, and will be carried on for the present up to Water-lane. In conse quence, by direction of the City Commissioner of Police, vehicles going westward are to turn down Bridge-street , into Whitefriars, up Water-lane, into Fleet-street ; an d those passing through Temple-bar, eastward, are to go up Chancery .lane. During the repairs much inconvenience will be experienced in the traffic to and fro.

The curiosity to witness the horses as they quitted the saddling-stable, prior to proceeding to the starting-post, was evidenced by the large throng of pedestrians and eques trians who congregated in the vicinity of the ditch. When the 15 competitors had proceeded to the post the crowd gradually diminished, and the spectators at the cords were enabled to command a full and uninterrupted view of them when they formed in line. The start was most satis factorily effected, and no sooner had Mr. Hibburd dropped his flag than the horses were off on equal terms. Two divisions were soon formed, Traducer making the running on the whip hand, with King of Diamonds, Lupulus, Brother to Rainbow, and Nicholas on his left, followed him in the order named. On the " Ring side" of the course, were Richmond, Ebony, Tom Bowline, and Merrimac, nearly level with the lot above mentioned. Aurora, The Wizard, and The Rap were next, close up. They ran at a slow pace to the Bushes Hill, where The Wizard, who had always been going within himself, began to creep forward, closely attended by his stable companion The Rap. On reaching the dip, just before entering the cords, Ashmall let The Wizard out, and the horse galloped in the winner by three lengths; half a length between the second and third ; King of Diamonds was an indifferent fourth; Lupulus fifth; Brother to Rainbow sixth; Watabs, Ebony, and Merrimac next ; Grenadier and Tom Bowline, close together, were the last two.

Frauds to this extent could only occur in a joint stock bank with a large associated capital. in the case of a private bank, the handling of such heavy sums, instead of being consigned solely to one officer, however worthy of trust, would fall within the pro vince of a partner. It is precisely in this point that a lamentable lack of caution has manifestly prevailed in the management of the Union Bank. A system of check which depend nu rely upon en tries in the books is no check at all Jro the entries themselves may be systematically talsit:cd for ymrs, as in the present instarce. In any ! fleet 1111 i sys tem of check and counter-check the agency. and supervision of other emplo3(s of high character is indispensable. In fact one trusted (lingo:, (: twist he used as a check upon another. The firA oi:a of this astounding revelation is naturally an till pervading sense of uneasiness. " Who is - tu- be trusted ?•' is the gtneral exclamation. Good will doubtless, as usual, ensue from evil. A stimulus will be given to caution and vigilance in every quarter. In no establishments are these qual&us so requisite as in joint-stock banks, the transse • tious of which reach weekly an aggregate of mil lions. It is naturally asked, how has Pullinger con trived to get rid of so vast a sum of money i) Con sidering the responsible position which he held, his salary was manifestly inadequate. This is the common error of employers, from which joint-stock banks, despite their„ enormous dividends, are not exempt. But the present is no petty case of a bank officer exceeding his income and appropriating a sum sufficient to meet his embarrassments. Pul linger was a gigantic speculator on the Stock Ex change. He operated largely in the securities which present the greatest scope for fluctuation, especially in Consols, Lombardo-Venetian Railway shares, and Turkish and Mexican Bonds. Of the latter he is known to have taken off the market at once no less than £20.000, and even £50,000, stock, paying for it in bank notes. It will be a point for the directors (who have already taken steps to make the delinquent's small property available) to ascer tain whether he has any concealed assets of this kind. A speculative Stock Exchange firm, which failed in the panic in May last, being obliged to pay Gs. Sd. in the pound before its partners could be rendered eligible for re-admission, gave bills for the amount ; and it is stated that Pullinger himself recently met these bills, to the extent, in one instance, of £4,000. It is, perhaps, the most astonishing feature of this extraordinary case that he could so long be regarded as a man of steady habits in Princes•street, whilst he was known to many persons connected with the Stock Exchange as an habitual speculator. Pullinger had other ex pensive tastes. He ran racehorses, in conjunction with a well-known trainer, and occasionally repre . OUR (i UN- B 0 A TS. At the time of the Crimean "War the sudden col lape of our military system raised an outcry which forced the Horse-Guards and the Admiralty to humiliating confessions, and to promises of reform. Far be it from us to wish for a renewal of the eon trovers:es and the rancour of that terrible time. We are now at peace,no immediate danger threatens, oar only war is with a remote and feeble empire; although heavily taxed, the country is prosperous, and can afford both money and time to replace what has been destroyed by the negligence or fraud of those who serve it. All that we desire is that a ROI examination should be made into the reports now current respecting the state of the navy, and that calmly, but without fear or favour, the matter should be sifted and a remedy applied. At this time, we are told, there are 47 gun-boats, besides mortar vessels, hauled up at Haslaryard. AII the world remembers the paean which was sung over this miniature fleet. Christened with coquettish little names, the gun-boats, built according to the newest model and commanded by gallant young officers, were the pets and the pride of the country. Their qualities were invidiously contrasted with those of the heavy line-of-battle ships and frigates, which crept cautiously about the shallows of the Baltic,'or watched sluggishly opposite the entrance to Sebastopol. It as told how after the war they were all drawn up ready for use on the shortest notice, how they could be brought down to the water in less than an hour, and the cn9tny con fronted in less than a week with an extempore fleet as formidable as any that could issue from Cher hour,. The Government appears to have been as much impressed as the public with the 11,A:ruin( ss of these craft. They had done good service at Sxe.o borg, they had ascended the rivers of China, and were again to be despatched to that distant region to bring the Emperor to reason. Accordingly the shipwrights have been at work on them with no little activity. Twenty-two, we are told, have been repaired at a great cost, and, with the exception of coppering, are fit for launching. Nine vessels are under repair, fourteen are waiting examination. These repairs began more than three years ago, and have been continued at intervals to the present time. It will appear singular that vessels built only in 1854 and 1855 should so soon require such extensive reconstruction. Very quietly do these repairs seem to have been carried on, and no com plaints of the contractors have been allowed to be come public. The decay has been attributed to the fact that the gunboats had been stripped of their copper, and placed high and dry in a current of air. But now it is announced that the decay must be attributed to another cause. Some gun ' boats which had been kept afloat have been hauled up, and have been found to be " far more de fective than those stored beneath the sheds, and the only conclusion which tern be areived at is that the whole of our gunboats afloat are unf t for service." They have been con structed with the most reek !ess disregard to the quality of the material. if those which have been examined are a sample of the whole, we are at this moment without an efficient gunboat. Scaecely a sound piece of wood can be seen about them, every part bearing marks of" sap," and some of the ribs are completely enveloped with it; the pressure of the hand on their frame crumbles it to dust. Much more to this effect is given in our Naval Intelligence. The copper bolts, also, which should have gone through and been clinched on each side, " were found to have been changed into short ends of about two inches, driven in on each side"—a fact which, if correct, convicts either the builders or their workmen of a deliberate and most disgraceful fraud. Of course, this abominable history must be fully inquired into. Here we have the country, when hard pressed by war, and unable to furnish the ne cessary number of vessels from the public yards, applying to the first private builders in England, and concluding contracts with them for the con struction of vessels. The contracts are taken, the vessels are built, the country imagines that its naval force is considerably increased, and now, at the end of five years, we find that neither the watchfulness of the Admiralty nor the honesty and patriotic feel ing of the builders have prevented us from being cheated as grossly and impudently as the poor wo man who gets 200 yards of threed on a reel purport ing to hold 300. We might have much to say on the carelessness of the authorities which accepted such fraudulent handiwork. Surely green wood can be distinguished from seasoned timber by dockyard offi cials, and a copper bolt driven through a vessel's side and clinched must present a different appearance from two boltheads merely tacked on, one inside and the other out. But these considerations are forgotten in the shame we feel on reflecting that firms hold ing a high position in the English mercantile world should be guilty of such baseness. It is impossible to believe that such universal inferiority in the ma terial of the vessels could be accidental. One or two gunboats might be built of green wood by mistake, but such a state of things as is reported to exist can only be the result of general unscrupulousness among those who took the contracts. It may be that the Government price was too low, and it is said that the only two sound vesels were built by a firm which lost money by their construetioe. But that cannot be an excuse fir the others. The pub lic will demand a searching and unsparin g i nq uiry and if it s h ou ld time or into these delinquencies, that men holding a foremost position in the com munity have been guilty of such malpractices, they should be duly exposed and punished. Such doings are a discouragement to every one who wishes to see the natural sluggishness of the official world compensated by the enterprie of private hon-es. It has been the argument of the Admiralty, the Horse Guards, and other departments that their worst faults were as nothing to those of the men whom public opinion held up as their models. The Circumlocution-office, at any rate, did not job, and swindle, and make money out of the public ruin. This plea will now have double force, and, though we feel sure that the commercial business of this country is mainly conducted in a high and honour able spirit, the administrative reformers Neill he taunted with the rotten timber of the gunboats built in private yards, unless their builders can clear themselves from this charge.— Times.
