MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. A steady business has been transacted in the Market for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days. Tea, however, has been inacti-e, owing to the large quantity to be offered at public auction today. Sugars have been in moderate re quest at former values, but coffee, cocoa, and rice slightly declined. In rum the dealings had° been of an unimportant character, with the exception of the quantity taken under the Government contract. For saltpetre there has been only a limited inquiry, and the tallow market has continued inactive, the dealings for both present and forward delivery having been on a limited scale, at a slight reduction in values. Increased activity prevailed in the Cotton Mar ket at Liverpool yesterday, but prices were heavy. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales. A fair busi ness was transacted in the Railway Share Market, and quotations exhibited a decided improvement. A call of £2 10s. per 'share, amounting to £138,887, is due to-day on the Bombay, Baroda, B, Railway shares, and of £2 10s. or £27,000 on the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford 6 per Cent. Preference Shares, 2d issue. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Thursday next a special settling day in the following, viz., London and South African Bank, the Universal Marine Insurance, and the Casara Lead Mine, and transactions in the two former are marked in the official list. _ _ The payment of the dividend is producing a favourable effect upon the Money Market, the de mand having abated, while the bankers and brokers are disposed to negotiate first-class securities on rather easier terms. It is not expected, however, that any important relaxation will take place, owing to the reserve created among capitalists by the commercial failures. The promotion of new joint stock enterprise, moreover, will, no doubt, produce some effect, and assist in imparting firmness to the rates of discount. The indigo sales commenced this afternoon, and a general decline was exhibited in the prices realised. The half-yearly meeting of the London and Greenwich Railway Company has just been held, when a dividend of £1 6s. Bd. per cent. for the past half year was agreed to, free of income tax. Very little alteration has taken place today in the market for Pablic Securities. A heavy tone has prevailed, but the dealings which have been mostly connected with the settlement have not led to any material variation, Console being 931 d for money, and 931 8 for the account.

VERPOOL.— LIVERPOOL,MONMY.—This morning Ath prisoner Thomas Mrs. James, of Winslow, charged with poisoning the lat e was again oo affles. Mr. Liverpool, by the administration of trati T e mont brought before the local stipendiary, m r. desirable *in more serioust Walters, prosecuting solicitor, stated that of the investigation having siFirinted . a much character than was at first anticipated, it was desirable further remand. Poison had been found i n each o i r the bodies which had been exhumed, and it would b e necessary e to obtain the evidence of the most expert and scientific analysts. To do so would require a fortnight. Mr. R affles remanded the prisoner in the meantime for seven days. The bodies which have been exhumed are those of Mrs. T o wnsend (sister of the late Mrs. James), and her two'son s . Samuel and William. The demeanour of the priiioner Winslow, yesterday, was calm and collected. The stoppage of Messrs. Rider and Co., leather factors in Paris, was announced yesterday. The liabilities are estimated at £45,000, and the event is attributed to the failure of Messrs. Streatfeild. The books of the house have been placed in the hands of Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, and Co.

William M'Gall surrendered to take his trial for wilful and corrupt perjury committed by him before a select com mittee of the H ouse of Commons in reference to the election for the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Welsby, and Mr. Beesley appeared for the prosecution, and Sir F. Slade and Mr. W. H. Cooke defended the prisoner. This prosecution was instituted by direction of the House of Commons, upon the report of the committee above re ferred to. It will be remembered that at the election in question the candidates were Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, and the latter was elected. A petition against his election was presented by Mr. Hodg son objecting to the return, which was in due form referred to a select committee, and certain witnesses were examined and swore that upon the day of the election the defendant gave each of them a sum of money in order to induce them to vote for Mr. Marjoribanks. In consequence of the statements of these persons the defendant was called before the committee and certain questions were put to him. It appeared that he had acted as a law writer in the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and was in several ways connected with the legal profession, aid in answer to questions put to him he s , id that he took an interest in the election, and wished to get the voters up to poll, but he denied positively that he had given or offered any money to any of the voters, and it was upon the statement given upon oath that the present indictment for perjury was founded. Mr. May, clerk, assistant to the House of Commons, Mr. Dew, clerk to the Berwick election committee, and the short hand writer, who officially attended, were examined, and the latter read a number of questions and answers from his notes, in which the defendant stated most positively that he did not give a voter named Brown four sovereigns, neither did he give a voter namld Blaylock three sovereigns, for their votes at the last election.

Topaz and White Rose were slightly restiTe previous to the start. When the flag fell Topaz rushed to the front, White Rose second, Parmesan third, Horace and Syringe next, Duneany lying many lengths astern. Mid-way between the turn and mile post Topaz and White Rose changed places, and immediately afterwards Topaz struck into some thing, and threw Page. After this accident, White Rose clrried on the running, and no material change occurred until nearing the two-year-old post, when the lot, with the exception of Duneany took closer order. Before the dis tance had been reached, Parmesan and Horace were beaten, and Syringe began to draw towards the front. Approach ing the half-distance Syringe headed White Rose, and Duneany, who had rapidly made up his lost ground, also came forward. Syringe, however, without again being headed, galloped in an easy winner by four lengths. There were three lengths between the second and third horses.

IMPERIAL PARLI AMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Swansea Local Board of Health; Denbigh, Rotham, and Corwen Railway; and Moy River Navigation Bills were read a third time and passed. LAND IN SCOTLAND. The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in a bill to facili tate the transfer of land in Scotland held in burgess tenure. The bill was read a first time. MASTERS AND OPERATIVES BILL. Lord OVERSTONE presented a petition against this bill, by which councils of conciliation were created. The Town. Council of Manchester looked with considerable ap prehension to the working of the bill, and he moved that the petition which he had just presented be referred to the sele tt committee which was now sitting on the bill. The motion was agreed to. THE MASSACRES IN SYRIA. Lori STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE—Before the house proceeded with the business of the evening asked a question relative to the late massacres which had taken place in that part of the world. The country in which these massa cres were reported to have taken place was of a very peculiar nature, and from its mou n t a i nous d escr ipti on cou ld aff or d great facilities to the half-civilised tribes, by whom they were peopled, for the commission of such outrages. The noble lord then proceeded to relate the occurrences which had taken place, and which have alteady appeared in this journal, remarking that as early as May last the massacres commenced, as several children had been on one occasion destroyed in a most dreadful manner. The question he wished to ask was whether the Government had received any information on the subject, or whether they had reason to believe that the Turkish Government had been remiss in their duty in meeting the danger. He should be exceedingly sorry to ascribe to them any neglect, much less any connivance in this matter, but at the same time he could not help saying there were circumstances of great suspicion connected with heir conduct in this sad affair. He, therefore, wished to know w h e th er the G overnmen t had received any information on the point, and, if so, to what date ; and also whether it was i n tend e d t o lay these papers before their lordships and also whether the Govern ment has received information that the French Govern ment had intimated that they intended to act in the matter if the Porte did not take steps. Lord WODEHOUSE said he was sorry to say he could confirm all the intelligence that had been received relating to these dreadful occurrences. Ho could not give the noble lord the exact date of the despatches farther than that one of them related to _ crimes that occurred on the Ist of May. He was also given to understand that some of these dreadful massacres took place in the presence of the Turkish troops, who did not interfere to prevent them. He was happy to be able to state that a great many Chris tians had .escaped; and the accounts that had ap peared in the newspapers might therefore be somewhat exaggerated. Step. had been taken by the various consuls at Constantinople to induco the Turkish Government to inter fere, and information had been forwarded to the French Go vernment, which had not reached England, that vigorous steps were being taken to prevent further outrages. The steps taken by the Government was to order a squadron, under the command of Admiral Martin, to proceed to Syria, to act with the French Government, which had 1 aken similar steps. He was not aware that the French Government had stated that, in the event of the Porte not being able to effec tually stop these outrages the Government of France would be prepared to take s'rong measures for their suppression. As to laying the papers on the table he had had no oppor tunity of consulting the noble lord the principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Lord BROUGHAM regretted that the Government was able to confirm these lamentable proceedings, and trusted that such steps would be taken, having a proper regard to the law of nations, as would prevent for the future any such massacres as that with which they had been made painfully acquainted. He hoped the papers would be laid upon the table, as he believed the Principal Secretary of State would have no objection to their produc tion. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendment to the Kilkenny Junction Rail way were considered and agreed to, and the bill was ordered for third reading. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Parochial Assessment Act, against the extension of the Wine Licenses Act to Scotland, for the rejection of the religious profession clause in the 'Census Bill, and against the Metropolis Local Management Act, &c. NUISANCES REMOVAL AND DISEASES PRE VENTION BILL. On the motion of Mr. LOWE, this bill was re-committed. An ineffectual attempt was made to count the house. Mr. KNIGHT moved the omission of clause 1. There was no discussion on the amendment, and Vie committee divided on the question that the clause stand part of the bill. Ayes Noes Majority The clause was agreed to. On clause 4, Mr. A. WATLINOTON moved an amendment to the effect that the expenses incurred exclusively for any single parish shall be defrayed thereby. Mr. AYRTON said this was a most objectionable pro vision. It empowered a board of guardians elected from 10 parishes to make an order compelling only one of these parishes to pay the whole expense. The present system was very defective, but the defect would be considerably aggravated by the clause. He contended that the equit able principle would be for the Union generally to contri bute to any expenses incurred in carrying out the existing Act. Mr. NORRIS thought the suggestion of the hon. and learned member (Mr. Ayrton) would be holding forth pre miums to negligent parishes, and he hoped the right hon. gentleman (Nlr. Lowe) would adopt the amendment in his bill. Mr. S. ESTCOURT supported the amendment. Mr. WHALLEY agreed with his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Ayrton) as to the unjust character of the amendment. Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill. There appeared to be no agreement as to this bill, for everybody had some thing to say against some part of the measure. (Laughter.) He did not find that there was any demand made by the public for the alteration now proposed, and which five years ago was found to create considerable heart-burnings. Mr. LOWE said he brought the bill forward because the house, in its pleasure, had destroyed the central machinery for dealing with questions concerning public health, and transferred their powers to parochial authorities. There was at present, in fact, no responsible local authority for sanitary purposes. Out of 14,000 parishes in England and Wales no less than 12,500 were without any sanitary inspector, and he contended that the practice of fining the parochial authorities for neglect of sanitory precautions would be utterly impracticable. He had considered it the safest courso to adhere to the existing law as closely as possible. Mr. ADDERLEY considered that legislation on this subject was desirable, but objected to the provision in the clause imposing salaried sanitary inspectors throughout the country. He would wish the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Lowe) to give the committee some information as to how the existing system worked as far as it was in operation. Mr. HENLEY entered into some explanations, and re peated what he had previously stated, that this bill attempted reviving machinery that five years ago was found inexpedient. Mr. S. ESTCOURT suggested that in order to meet the views of dissentients an alteration should be made in the bill, which would render it optional with boards to ap point local inspectors, instead of being compelled to do as they would be by the provisions of the bill. Mr. SLANEY said that in several parishes, particularly near manufacturing towns where houses were run up for the working classes, sanitary inspection was indispensable. He considered that so large a number of parishes being at present without a responsible sanitary officer, was a proof of the necessity that existed for the measure. Mr. LO APE refused to adopt the suggestion of the bon. member (Mr. S. Estcourt). After a few words from Mr. WHALLEY, the amendment was withdrawn. The clause, with an amendment, was agreed to, as well as clause 5. On clause 6, Mr. HENLEY objected to the powers it proposed to confer on boards of guardians in respect to having wells dry. Mr. LOWE said that he would consent to an altera tion limiting the powers of the boards of guardians to the keeping in repair the existing wells. Mr. HENLEY said that would exactly meet his views. After some discussion the clause as amended was agreed to. The remaining clauses with some amendments were agreed to. The Chairman was then ordered to report progress.

INVESTMENTS BILL. The committee on this bill resumed. On clause 1, Mr. AYRTON said he had hoped that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would have withdrawn the bill after the ob jections that had been expressed with regard to it. He contended that the main object of the bill was to deal with the funds of savings banks. The proposition of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer was that he should be a banker to administer the funds of these savings banks for the benefit of the natior_. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, however, would be a banker of a very novel character and without any security, and nothing could be more absurd than to attempt to use the State as a banker. The committee on savings banks had recommended the appointment of a commission which would undertake the management of the aggregate funds of these institutions; but, at the outset they were met with the difficulty that, owing to 40 years mal-administration, there was a deficit of £4,000,000 or £5,000,000, and it would be necessary to make that good at starting. He repeated his objections to the Chancellor of the Exchequer assuming the functions of a banker in dealing with no less than £41,000,000, the property of savings banks and friendly societies, and he called on the committee to agree to the resolutions adopted by the select committee on the bill. The CHANC ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the subject which the hon. member had introduced had been already fully discussed and decided by the house, and he trusted the committee would confine their attention to the clause before them. The Stat• was already a banker as regarded these institutions, and all ho proposed was to improve its condition and surround the management with safeguards. The right hon. gentleman defended the bill at some length. Afier a few words from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY and Mr. HENLEY, The house suspended sitting, it being four o'clock. The house resumed at six o'clock, and was [LEFT SITTING.] A meeting of creditors of Mr. R.

THE NAVY. The Blenheim, GO, screw Coastguard ship, Capt. Edward Tatham, was swung yesterday for the ad-: just ment of her compasses. According to present orders, she goes to Spithead on Thursday and pro ceeds thence, after taking in her powder and shed, to Portland, prior to proceeding to the port of her destination, Pembroke. The Sirius, target frigate, has been placed in No. I dock, at Portsmouth, for the purpose of having her copper stripped off and a number of her copper bolts knocked out, preparatory to the forthcoming gunnery experiments upon the various targets affixed to her broadside. Two artillerymen, named George Norman, 4th battery, 4th brigade, and John Hyde, horse brigade, convicted at a garrison court-martial at Woolwich of desertion and making away with their kits, were yesterday flogged in the Riding-school, receiving 50 lashes each man, the maximum at present permitted, and in addition are to be imprisoned 112 days in Fort Clarence. The paddlewheel steamvessel Rh adamanthus, Master-Commander F. R. Sturdee, arrived at Wool. with on Sunday evening at 9, having performed the run from Portsmouth in 23 hours and a quarter. The officers of the ship give a most favourable account of the working of Mr. Wetherhead's super heating steam apparatus, and state that the economy in fuel as verified by the consumption of coals was equal to from 20 to 25 per cent., and that the labour of the stokers is considerably reduced, two watches being now sufficient to keep up the fires in the place of three as heretofore. The Dee, paddle steamer, Master-Commander Pullen, has arrived at Portsmouth from Woolwich, and has been taken into the steam basin to discharge boilers and machinery for the Pelican and other vessels at that port. The Cygnet, screw gunvessel, has commenced re ceiving her boilers and machinery in the steam basin at Portsmouth. The Fire Queen,paddle, Master-Commander Paul, at Portsmouth, is painting up on the completion of her late extensive repairs, and will shortly be ready fer further service. Lieut. R. Gordon Douglas, late flag-lieutenant at Sheerness, has been promoted to the rank of commander. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. H. B. Woodcombe, promoted to commander ; Lieut. E. F. Kerby, to be flag-lieutenant of the Chesapeake ; Ed w ard Chambrs, acting third-class assist.-engineer to the Bloodhound, as supernumerary • James C. Meagher and Edward W. Gordon have been promoted to be paymasters • and A. H. Grey, clerk to the St. George. His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief will hold. a levee at the Horse Guards at 1 o'clock on Friday neat, the 13th inst. The Duke of Cambridge has directed a circular memorandum to be forwarded to all commanding officers and those in charge of recruiting- districts, directing that when any recruit has been punished by two justices as a rogue and a vagabond, imme diate information is to be forwarded of the circum stance to the Horse Guards, in order that it may be determined whether he is deemed to be enlisted as a soldier. THE CENSUS BILL. There is something said in a certain book of these who compassed sea and land to make one proselyte, only to make him worse than before. A zeal of this kind seems to have infected all sorts of Chris- tians in our times, so great is the anxiety to count up to a good figure, and so much less the interest taken in the religious quality of the individual Christian. Just now the approaching Census is the battle-ground between the Established Church and all other denominations. In the last Census it is quite clear, from the vociferous protest raised by all Churchmen and the excessive satisfaction of the Dissenters, that the latter had stolen a march on the Church of England, and by some trick of practical arithmetic had swelled the returns from their Meeting-houses at he expense of the Church. The latter, which is always a most faithful expo nent of the English character, and which does its spiritual business much as the War-office did the Crimean war, and much as we are doing the public works of this metropolis, was caught napping on that occasion, but had ever since resolved to make up for her neglect. The returns have been pulled to pieces in a thousand ways, and, if we have not ourselves joined the sport, it is that, with all due respect to the Registrar-General and his staff, we don't attach the value some people do to religious statistics. One result of the controversy is, that in the Census Bill now before Parliament it is proposed to provide against close packed chapels and deserted churches, monster revivals, and rainy days, by putting to every man the question point blank, " What is your religious persuasion ?" So the ques tion stands, and the effect of this very small formula on the Dissenting body is as if they had been pricked by Ithuriel's spear. They are in utter dis may at what we are bound to conclude will be the detection of their real paucity. On the contrary, Churchmen are preparing to sing Io triumphe over the rout of their antagonists. For our part, we can scarcely conceive the mind of the man who could propose to put such a question to everybody when we think who and what " everybody" is. Unless the answers be almost universally true the return will be worthless, and if they be true the answers, in this metropolis at least, will be that generally the religious profession is nil. It is impossible to doubt that these zealots are battling to swell up their respective numbers from those amphibious classes which have really no profession at all. The degree of success in this questionable enterprise must depend much on accident ; but, be it much or little, it seems to us equally worthless. What if it should appear on the face of the answers to such a ques tion that three-fourths of the metropolitan popula tion were Church people ? The only moral would be that the Church had neglected its duty, or that professed Churchmanship was just good for no thing, or that these halt-million Churchmen might be left to take care of themselves. It certainly could be no matter of boast to the Church that it allowed its members to remain such as they cer tainly are. The Church can win no glory from the names of those who consider Churchmanship a sufficient excuse for neglecting every religious duty, and often every moral duty as well. For the Church to insist on the proposed question, is to accept the position of a refuge for the destitute, to be content with a mere mob, and to depend on an army great only on paper. We see no conclusion of any prac tical importance that the Church could engraft on any return, were it of the most paradoxical cha racter. We all know there is work enough to be done, and no specification of numbers can add to this fact. If anybody wishes to be an Apostle to the Gentiles, or, as we now call it, a missionary to the heathen, he need not wait to learn half a dozen languages, or spend a fortune at a college, or purchase an outfit, or cross one or two oceans, or run the risk of being eaten by savages. He has only to walk a couple of miles in any direction in this metropolis, or, if that be too much, go to the nearest mews or back lane, and he will find plenty of stray sheep whom no pastor ever sought out, with whose hearts no man of God ever communed, who have, indeed, heard of the Church, and have been baptized—nay, married and churched in its fabrics, but who know about as much of its faith as if they were the intended objects of the projected mission to Central Africa. Why should Church ' men be compassing sea and land to make proselytes and to swell muster-rolls, when they seem utterly indifferent to the personal results for which they are making themselves responsible ? On the other hand, why should Dissenters be anxious to conceal the well-known fact that the most neglected masses of our population are nominally Church people ? In the face of the opposition that has been or ganised, and which showed itself last night in the Commons, it is impossible that the question can stand, and this metropolis is to be spared the dis tressing scrutiny into its religious professions or convictions. But cannot both Church people and Dissenters find some worthier occupat ion than to run up a beggarly account of empty _souls against one another. Ten thousand men in buckram can do no good to any church. But fir_st and foremost it is evident that the great masses of our population have to be made Christian at all in the most general sense. They are in the condition of the " she e p without a shepherd" that we read of, who assembled everywhere in thousands, and were tau g ht i n the m o st general w ay the nature and spi r it of the kingdom of Heaven. We have only to look back to the last ten years to see the utter worthlessness of the cleverest controversial ockeyship. We forget the precise proportion of Church people and Dissenters ;:tablished by the last census, if, indeed, we ever - thought it worth while to inquire, but it hes not led to a single practical result. No doubt, it has appeared in Episcopal c h arges an d N onconformist magazines; but, except in the torrid zone of pole mics, the whole question is utterly unknown. On the contrary, had a tenth part of the zeal lavished on this worthless controversy been employed in searching out ignorance, misery, and recklessness, and addressing to them the simplest truths and persuasions, at all events a few souls would have been saved, and there would be something to show for it. As these religious interrogatories of the approaching Census are to be either given up or considerably modified, perhaps Church people and Dissenters may now shake hands over their ten years' quarrel, and admit. that a. figure in a sum is not quite so important as actually raising the con dition of the people in the scale both of time aml ternity. Even if they cannot go quite hand in hand, there is work enough for both of them, and they need not interfere one with another-7 tines. TALE PULLINGR i‘ FRAUDS. The subjoined notice, holding the directors re sponsible for the loss by the Pullinger frauds, will, it is understood, be served upon the Union Bank of London to-morrow. It likewise protests against the proposed writing off of £ I LO,OOO of capital, and intimates that, if necessary, an injunction will be sought from the Court of Chancery:— "I, Edmund Alderson Fawcett, of No. 12, Trump-street, in the city of London, warehouse man, a registered shareholder of the Union Bank of London, do hereby give you notice that I hold the trustees and directors of the said bank respon sible for the loss of the sum of £252,008 125., by William George Pullinger, mentioned in the report of the said directors, dated the 4th day of July instant, such loss having been occasioned by the wilful neglect and default of the said trustees and directors, and by breach of their duty aryl of the provisions of the deed of setoment of the said hank. And I further give yrot nWiee that I require question as to the liability of the said trustees and directors, or some or one of them, to such loss, to be referred to arbitration under the 132 d clause of the said deed of settlement. And I further give you notice that I object to the said bank, or the direc tors thereof, retransferring or otherwise dealing with the capital sum of £120,000 mentioned in the reports of the said directors, dated respectively the 24th day of April last, and the said 4th day of July instant. And I further give you notice that I object to the said directors appointing, or de claring, or paying any dividend except in respect of the profits of the said bank. And I fu. they give you notice, that in the event of the said directors persisting in retransferring the said capital sum of £120,000, or in debiting the capital account there with, or in appointing, or declaring, or paying any dividend, except in respect of the profits of the said bank, I shall forthwith apply to the Court of Chan cery for an injunction to restrain the said bank and the directors and trustees thereof from so acting.— Dated this 9th day of July, 1‘).(;..% "EDMUND A. FAWCETT. " To the Union Bank of London, to Henry .Newmarch, Esq., Secretary of the said Bank, and to the Directois of the said Bank." A circular has been addressed to the shareholders of the Union Bank of London, by Mr. W. C. Hen derson, late ledger clerk in that establishment, which he entered 20 years - t , a, fr. The following are the most material paragraphs : "In the latter end of, I think, 1854," I was absent from the bank, and on Any return it was in timated to me that there was a difference of between £4,000 and £5,000 between the ledger balance and the Bank :of England balance. This I could not explain or understand, and I mentioned it to a friend, who advised me to bring the matter to the notice of my superiors. Not having found an op portunity of doing so during b iciness hours, Icalled, on the afternoon of the first Sunday thereafter, at the houee of Mr. Barton, the assistant-manager, and informed him of the disetepaney. Mr. Barton treated it simply as a mistake, supposing that that amownt of gold had not been put to the credit of the Union Bank by the Bank of England for one day. I replied that could not be, as the difference had existed, as I had been informed, for several days. Pullinger must have been made aware of this com munication ; because, the day after 1 made it, he came and upbraided me for attempting to cause mischief in the bank while there was no occasion for it, and in a day or two afterwards he showed me a pass-book which then agreed with my ledger, and so the matter ended. From that time down to the hour of his arrest the - favour shown to and the confidence reposed in Mr. Pullinger by the mana gers of the bank greatly increased; while, on the other hand, I ,was regarded with anything but favour, and on one occasion was told by the mana ger that as I had no friends in the direction I had better leave the bank. " After the arrest of Mr. Pullinger I continued in the bank, doing my duty as usual, until the 11th day of June last, when I was summoned at a mo ment's notice to attend a sub-committee of direc tors, who, after putting some questions, took down something in writing (a copy of which I have asked for, but in vain), and I was on the 13th of June dismissed. " Such a proceeding, after my long and, I can truly add, faithful services in the bank, is not only so ruinous but also so harsh and unjust that I re spectfully request you will cause the whole of the circumstances to be investigated, and that you will order my dismissal to be cancelled."
