Gran._ NEW FL, TIIE PULLINGER FRAUDS. Subjoined is the report, issued yesterday by the Committee of the Stock Exchange, on the re sults of their inquiry into the speculations of Pul linger. it does not enter into the details of each of 1 the five cases of suspension, any such publication - ;nte wholly unnecessary, 'since the Stock Ex- I cons tif t 1,, n- L-• nn d not a change Cob— - 1 — P 'n"t -- legal court, and it is enong:i for the public to assume that the evidence on which they have acted was such as to justify the resolutions now pro mulgated. If any of the parties see fit to question the propriety of their sentence they will have op portunity to do so, and it will then be for the com mittee to enter into whatever particulars may be necessary to satisfy the public of the grounds on which they have acted. From Mr. Bradock, upon whom the sentence is limited to three months, a letter was inserted on the 25th ult., and in the case of Messrs. Scrimgeour it may be mentioned that, although the facts are, said to exhibit an extraordi nary degree of indiscretion, such as could not by any possibility be overlooked by the committee, it has been shown that they had no intention of encouraging any systematic course of speculation for their own gain as brokers. Their fault mainly consisted in listening to Pullinger's representations with regard to one comparatively small transaction, and in privately assisting him for three er four years to defer closing it, when a word to the manager or directors of the bank during that period might, perhaps, have arrested him in the midst of his delinquencies. The sterling respecta bility of the firm has been maintained for more than a quarter of a century, and their friends still feel convinced that they would never deliberately act upon wrong principes. With regard to the general featufes of the present document, it will be observed that the committee state that out of the total de falcation of £263,125 only £53,285 can be traced to have been lost by operations on the Stock Ex change. Another sum of £57,000, however, was paid to a man named Nathan, an outside speculator. Reckoning this, there remains £152,840 to be ac counted for, a great part of which, probably, went upon the " turf," and will be difficult to trace, since the amount embezzled included £83,100 in gold. A final point in the report is of serious character and calls for special explanation. The committee state, that while the directors of the Union Bank furnished them with the names of Johnston, Shel don, Uzielli, and Bradock, they withheld that of Scrimgeour. To this charge the reply of the direc tors is understood to be that they supplied the com mittee with all the evidence they had obtained either from Pullinger's papers or any other source within their reach; that the knowledge of the transaction en tered into by Messrs. Scrimgeour came solely in the shape of voluntary information from that firm ; and that the feeling was that it would be unjust to com promise them upon a spontaneous admission of facts, which apparently but for this frankness no one would ever have known—an additional reason also being that in the view of the directors the affair was not one that could unequivocally be re garded as a violation of the Stock-Exchange rules. Of course, the question as to the defects of manage ment, by which the career of Pullinger was ren dered practicable, remains still to be discussed. That is an affair for the shareholders of the bank at the meeting next month; when the Board will have to make such apology or defence as may be in their power. Many considerations here suggest them selves, but it would be undesirable to volunteer a judgment until the whole case shall have been sub mitted in open assembly : TliE .N.ei Y Y. Her Majesty's ship Vivid, on special service at Dover under the orders of the Lords of the Admi ralty, yesterday returned to 'Woolwich. The Duncan, 101, screw, fitting at Portsmouth, has shipped her Gritfithe's propeller, and will test her machinery, in compliance with the established regulations, in the steam basin to.day. The I)ee paddle steamer, Master Corniaander Pul len, arrived, at Portsmouth yesterday with boilers for the Perseverance. The Princess Royal, 91, screw', has been berthed alongside the sheer jetty in Portsmouth yard for the purpose of being masted. The Prince Regent, 90, undergoing conversion from a sailing liner to screw, in No. 3 Dock at Ports mouth, has been discovered to be very defective in her bows from the effects of dry rot, and a number of her timbers, with the greater proportion of her bow planking, is consequently being removed. The screw steam transport Lord Panmure, 11. T. More Master-Commander, returned to Woolwich yesterday, having discharged a quantity of stores at the Tower, from the stranded ship Havering, at Devonport. She has brought 200 tons of guns for Woolwich, which have been replaced by the Arm strong along the coast. The examination of candidates for admission to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, by the Council of Military Education, commenced yester dry at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, Major-General Rumley, vice-president, presiding.

The Asuncion correspondent of the New Fork Herald, under date March 19th, bears testimony to the progress making by Paraguay, and the cha racter of the Government of President Lopez, which will be read with interest in this country, where accurate information on both points is so desirable. " This republic," says the writer, "the best populated and best governed of all South American republics, offers many advantages to mechanics, merchants, and speculators. Cotton, tobacco, and sugar, the staples of the country, offer a large field for speculation, as they yet want a great deal of improvement, easily done by intelli gent and enterprising men, who are much wanted here ; but the right sort of men are slow in coming, owing to reports derogatory to this country and its Government, spread by persons ill-disposed, having been foiled in humbugging the simple people here, who are well guarded by a wise and strong Govern ment, represented in the person of President Lopez, the best head south of the equator. All who take an interest in this country, and will inquire of the Hon. J. S. Pendleton, formerly our charge d'affaires here, or the Hon. Judge Bowlin, or his secretary, Mr. S. Ward, or any of the officers who came with the Paraguay expedition, or Capt. Page, so well known here, will find my statement correct. Nowhere in South America is the Government so well respected and obeyed as here ; nowhere are life and property more secure. Paraguay is the only one of the South American republics which achieved her independence without bloodshed, and the subs?quent iron rule of Francia kept down the turbulent, and saved the country from those ter rible intestine wars which distracted the lower provinces for forty years, and only ended now by the successful mediation of General Lopez. Since the beginning of the actual Government a new era has opened for this country, which has assumed its befitting rank among the independent nations of the world. Lopez found nothing to act upon when he took the Presidential chair, only eighteen years ago—neither means nor men. He had to create both. Relations with foreign powers were first opened by him ; foreign commerce and trade, which were prostrated under Francia, were protected and encouraged; railroads, steamboats, arsenals, foundries, &c., the best south of Rio, and the best disciplined and best equipped army, are his work—at the same time working against fearful odds of jealous and turbulent neighbours and dubious friends. Paraguay, like the rest of the South American republics, has been the theatre where European diplomatists make their debut, and, for the sake of trying their strength and making themselves a name, never leave these coun tries without having done some mischief, either embroiling them with their respective governments, or sowing the seeds of future discord." This ac count of the progress and and present prosperity of Paraguay is confirmed by all the latest advices from that country. Building operations are pro ceeding actively at Asuncion, and there is a wide field for enterprise in the manufacture of bricks. A new theatre, on a large scale, is in course of erec tion ; also extensive buildings in connection with the naval dockyards and foundries. Captain Page, mentioned in the extract, is the commander of the exploring expedition sent out from the United States ; he has ascended the Vermejo to Oran, 300 miles from its mouth, thus affording further demon stration of the facilities which exist for distributing the manufactures of Europe throughout Paraguay, and sending the tobacco, cotton, hides, wool, and other produce of the country down to the great fluvial highway of the Platine region in return. The statement that Canstatt, the alleged British subject, convicted of complicity in a conspiracy to assassinate the President and his family, and con demned to death, had been pardoned and liberated, is confirmed. He left Asuncion on the 17th of January, in the Paraguayan steamer Jessni, for Monte Video, of which city he is a native, having only claimed to be a British subject when he en gaged in the plot against President Lopez. This is so well established that it is believed there is nothing now to prevent a speedy and amicable settlement of the difference which the claim pre ferred by Mr. Consul Henderson, on behalf of Canstatt, had created between England and Para guay. THE JAPANESE AMBASSADORS AT A BALL. ►- Last evening, at a ball given by the Secretary of State, the Japanese ambassadors appeared un officially, for the first time, in public. The in terest felt on this occasion was so great that of the n umerous guests invited hardly a single one failed to be present. The saloons of General Cass were fully crowded at an early hour, 500 or 600 persons assembling before nine o'clock. The ambassadors did not leave - Willard's Hotel until 10. On reach ing General Cass's residence they were conducted by Captain Dupont and other gentlemen, who ac companied them through the various rooms of re ception, and finally seated at a point most conve nient for approach by those who were to bo pre sented to them. Their neighbourhood was at once invaded by numberless candidates for introduction, mostly ladies, all of whom were received with the grace and elegance of manner inseparable from the Japanese. The party visiting the Secretary of State was composed of three Princes, and the five officers next in rank, and the two interpreters. For nearly an hour these 10 gentlemen sustained unflinchingly the unavcrted gaze of as many scores of people as could draw dear to them. Their self possession then, as it always is, was marvellous. The haughtiest stare, with intensest eyeglass con centration, could neither move them to embarrass ment nor rouse them to the least defiant glance in return. Directly 'personal remarks, not always uttered, I am afraid, in the best taste, and some times unworthy the fair lips whence they pro ceeded, were listened to by those who perfectly understood with no sign of discomposure, except perhaps a slight compression of the mouth, show ing that insensibility was no cause of theirimmov able calmness. Towards 11 o'clock the ambassa dors rose, and were again led through the apart ments, pausing before a refection table, the details of which no interpreter was needed to explain to them. The number of guests had now greatly increased. There were present the members of the Cabinet, the Vice• President, and Speaker Pen nington, a few members of Congress, many officers of the army and navy, and a very full representa tion of foreign legations. The number of ladies seemed greater than of gentlemen. The least unwary step engulphed ono in surging waves of muslin, silk, and those other kindred dangers which evade precise designation. Mrs. Douglas, Miss Lane, Mrs. G win, and Mrs. Slidell, were the various central orbs, alluring to themselves countless satel lites, seeking from the reflections of fashionable warmth and social light. On their way along the drawing-rooms, the Japanese caught sight of Com modore Tatnall, who brought them in the Powha tan from Japan to Panama, and whom they instantly surrounded with every grateful expression of welcome. For the few minutes that Commodore Tatn all was near, all objects beyond testifying their recognition of him were abandoned.

A telegram from Constantinople,' dated the 4th inst., reports the death of M. Theodore Baltazzi, the head of the wealthy family of bankers of that name. An enormous body of whales appeared off the coast of Belfast on Monday evening. They were so nume rous that several boats of the hook herring fishing had to leave the ground, the crews being afraid of their boats being capsized, ME ARMY. The colonelcy of the 78th Highland Regiment of Foot has become vacant by the demise of Lieu tenant-General Sir William Chalmers, C.B. and K.C.H., who died on Saturday last at his seat near Dundee. The deceased General was the eldest son of the lath Mr. William Chalmers, of Glenericht, Perthshire, and was born in 1787. Soon after completing his 16th year he entered the army. He served in Sicily in 1806 and 1807, and the follow ing year accompanied his regiment to Portugal, and served during the campaigns of 1808 in that coun try and in Spain. He was in the expedition to Walchern, including the bombardment of Flushing. In 1810 he proceeded to Cadiz, and took part all the succeeding campaigns in the Peninsula, includ ing the battle of Barossa, attack of the enemy on the heights near Moresco, affair at Senhora de la Pena, battle of Salamanca, action of San Munos, battle of Vittoria, attack at Maya, battles of the Pyrenees on the 30th and 31st of July, repulse of the enemy in his attack of the heights of St. An tonio on the 31st of August, attack of the enemy's forts near Sarre on the 9th of October, 1813 ; battle of Nivelle, besides many other minor affairs and skirmishes on the advance to Madrid and capture of Retiro. He was present in almost all the sieges and was engaged during the retreat from Burgos in the affairs of Oimos, Monasterio, bridge of Valla dolid, and the passage of the Huebra. He was employed on the staff in the above campaigns in the Peninsula, and was severely wounded in the assault of the entrenchments at Sarre, and during his services in Portugal and Spain he had six horses killed or wounded under him in action. During the four years he was engaged in active service, from the sth of March, 1811, to the 18th of June, 1815, he was present in seventeen engage ments, six of them general actions, exclusive of sieges, &c. The gallant deceased also served in the campaign of 1814 in the Netherlands, and was pre sent at Waterloo. At that battle he commanded a wing of the 52d Regiment, of which he was Major, and had three horses shot under him. He was at the capture of Paris, and did not return from France until 1817. In 1837 he was nominated a Knight Corn.- wander of the Royal Hanoverian Order of Knight hood; was in 1838 made a Companion of the Order of the Bath, and was, by letters patent, made a Knight Bachelor in 1847. The deceased veteran had received the silver war medal and eight clasps for Barossa, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajcz, Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, St. Sebastian, and Nivelle. His commissions bore date as follows :—Ensign, the 9th of July, 1803 ; Lieut., the 25th of October, 1803 ; Capt., the 27th of August, 1807 ; Major, the 26th of August, 1813; Lieut.-Col., the 18th of June, 1815; Col., the 10th of January, '1837 ; Major- General, the 9th of November, 1846 ; and Lieut.- Gen., the 20th of June, 1854. He was appointed Colonel of the 78th Regiment the 30th of Septem ber, 1853. The Foyle and Iberia steamers arrived at Ports mouth yesterday morning from Dublin with the sth Regiment on board, which disembarked at the north corner of the dockyard and left for Alder shott Camp at 4.40 p.m. The annual field-day and inspection of the Chat ham (Ist) division of Royal Marine Light Infan try, was held yesterday by Major -General S. R. Wesley, Deputy Adjt.-Gen. The battalion, in consequence of the success which has recently at tended the efforts of the various recruiting parties, is now very strong, the number of men present yesterday being only a few short of 1,100, exclu sive of several hundred men absent either in hospi tal, doing duty afloat, or on the recruiting service. The division was formed at 10 a.m. in the barrack square, awaiting the arrival of Major-Gen. Wesley, who was received by Col. E. Rea, commandant, Col. G. E. Hunt, second commandant, and the staff at head-quarters. The days proceedings commenced by General Wesley making an individual inspec tion of each company, after which the men's kits were inspected, and found to be in very excellent order and condition. Owing to the limited space in the barrack square, the battalion was unable to execute any extended movements, conse quently General Wesley merely gave the usual invitation to those who had complaints to make to step forward, when, there being no response, the officers and men were dis missed until the afternoon. General Wesley then made a tour of the barracks, inspecting the barrack rooms, school-rooms, non-commissioned officers' mess-rooms, library, and the other offices, with tb s e appearance of which he expressed himself well sa',is fied. At 1 o'clock a portion of the Marines were selected for inspection at working the great, guns, the whole battalion being regularly rustructed at gun drill in order to be able to word: the great guns on board a vessel of war when serving afloat. The men having been marched to the ship gun bat tery, which is fitted up to resemble exactly the broadside of a line-of-battle ship, and fitted with the largest guns, General Wesley spent some time in this portion of the inspection, the Marines being ' exercised by Capt. C. B. Parke. The ease and ra pidity with which the guns were worked and served were particularly worthy of commendation, and, after about two hours at the battery, the men were dismissed and marched back to their quarters, and General Wesley proceeded to Chatham lines, where. ':ICE 4 D . STAMPED, 5D the whole of the officers and men of the division were drawn up, to inspect the division in battalion drill, each man having been furnished with 20 tonuds of blank ammunition. On the arrival of the General on the ground he was received by the division in line, and after riding up and down the front and rear General Wesley took up his position at the saluting flag, when the companies marched past in slow and quick time. The columns were again reformed and the battalion put through a variety of mancouvres by Col. Rea, who commanded, many of them being of a difficult and complicated character. The steadiness of the battalion under arms and the superior manner in which the various manoeuvres of the day were executed elicited the highest praise from the military officers and others present, and fully confirmed the praises previously passed on the Chatham division of Marines as being one of the best disciplined corps in her Majesty's service. At the conclusion of the field-day movements General Wesley expressed to Col. Rea his unqualified approbation of ihe manner in which both officers and men had acquitted themselves. General Wesley during the day visited and inspected Kelville Hospital, over which he was conducted by Deputy Inspector-Gen. J. W Johnston, M.D. This hospital is a perfect model establishment, the highest encomiums having been passed on it by Miss Nightingale on the last occa„ sion of her visiting it. Last night Gen. Wesley was entertained by the officers of the division at dinner in their commodious mess-room, and this morning will continue his inspection of the battalion by wit nessing the Marines at rifle firing, and exercising the officers in the bayonet and sword exercises. Lieut.-Gen. Sir S. F. Love has, during the past week, made his usual periodical inspection of the troops stationed in the camp at Colchester. On Tuesday a review of all the troops in camp took place on Middlewick Farm. Gen. Love is expected to leave Colchester to-day. The I Battery of Artillery ha left Norwich for Woolwich. Capt. Phelips, Lieut. Leacock, Lieut. Schack, and 103 non-commis Toned officers and gunners belong ing to the Ist brigade Garrison Artillery, yester day returnr.ld to Woolwich, having terminated a course of experimental gun practice at Shoebury ness, The squadron of Dragoons (the 10th Hussars) in command of Capt. Sawbridge, on duty at Wool wich since February last, yesterday received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march for Houns low-heath, to go under canvas as soon as the stormy state of the weather shall have somewhat abated. Their short sojourn at Woolwich has apparently completely renovated the condition of both men and horses, the latter on entering the garrison having been designated as " a remnant of the Cri mean campaign," in consequence of their peculiarly meagre and half-starved appearance. Their quar ters at Woolwich will be immediately taken up by Capt. Saunders's troop of Horse Artillery (the I battery), who have commenced their march from Norwich for head-quarters. ANCIIORS AND SHIPTVIZEC'KS. ...'

William Butterworth Bayley died last week, full of years, at St. Leonard's. History may not place bim in the 'front rank with Metcalfe, .Elphiost one, Malcolm, and Munro; but lie!wati in many respects a remarkable mar,, and as he Supple malted his 3t) years of Indian service by another quarter of a century spent in the councils of Lead enhall-strect, he was a truer type of the genuine Company's servant than any one of the conteuipo rm•ks whom we have named. A younger son of a Lancashire gentleman of high character and position, William Butterworth Bayley was educated at Eton, where he acquired a large stock of classical learning, subsequently aug ment by a b r i e f res id ence at Cambridge. VThese studies, in which he dearly delighted, were btelien in upon by the announcement of au appointment to the Indian Civil Service, at a time when such ap pointments were of substantial value; and a few weeks before the close of the last century he •en tered upon his career of Indian service at Calcutta. Lord Wellesley was at that time incubating - his darling project of the College of Fort William, and in the course of the following year the institution was established. Young Bayley was one of its earliest and most distinguished alumni. He passed out with great honour, and was one of the " boys " selected by the Governor-General for the confiden tial duties of his own office, in one of the most momentous epochs of our Indian history. He did not, however, in that situation though brought face to face with the stirring incidents of a great political crisis, generate, as did some of bis associates, an ambitious desire to take part in the strenuous activities of diplomacy, but chose the judicial line of the public service and adhered to it throughout all the earlier part of his career. In 1814 he was appointed to officiate as secretary in the Revenue and Judicial Departments, in which situation he was confirmed in the following year ; and in 1819 he was nominated Chief Secretary to the Supreme Government of India. In 1522, a temporary vacancy occurring in the Supreme Council, he was appointed to fill it, and in 1825 he was permanently appointed a member of the Go vernment. Lord Amherst was then Governor-Ge neral of India. In March, 1828, that nobleman embarked for England. Lord Wm. Bentinck had been appointed his successor, but had not yet ar rived, so Mr. Bayley, as senior member of Council, succeeded to the highest place in the Government of India. He filled the office of Governor-General for some months, and then resumed his seat as a member of Council. In the autumn of 1830 Lord William Bentinck quitted the Presidency on a tour to the Upper Provinces, and then Mr. Bayley be came President of the Council and Deputy-Gover nor of Bengal. But‘his five years in Council had now nearly expired, and on the 11th of November he ceased to be a member of the Government. In the course of the following month he took ship and sailed for England. His career in India had been a distinguished and a most useful, but it had not been an eventful one. He had not been the hero of any of those exciting episodes which have surrounded with an atmo sphere of romance the lives of Elphinstone and Metcalfe. His work was not in the camp or at the durbar; it was almost exclusively in the bureau or the cutcherry. His service was administrative service of the most valuable kind, but not such as affords materials to the biographer ; and when he returned to England, after 30 years of this service, still in the prime of life, with an unbroken consti tution and an unimpaired capacity for work, his ambition sought nothing higher than a seat in the Council of that " Company of merchants trading to the East Indies" which he had served with so much fidelity and zeal. It is a striking proof of the high character which he brought with him from India that he was re lieved from much of the drudgery of the canvass, and obtained the coveted seat in the Direction two years after his return from India. He then applied himself assiduously to the duties of his office, gain ing a high reputation in the Leadenhall-street Council, as a man of large general experience in Indian affairs, a remarkably sound judgment, and of a temper which was seldom disturbed. Among his colleagues he was always peculiarly popular. Their affection was exalted by respect. They loved the man, and they deferred to his opinions. He was neither frequent nor fluent in debate, but a few weighty, well-directed Words from him often determined a long-protracted contest. In 1539 he was Deputy-Chairman, and in the following year Chairman of the Company ; and it is believed that at more than one subsequent period the chair was offered to him and declined, for he was essentially of an unambitious nature, and he shrank from public displays. He continued, however, to take an active part in the administration ; and when, in 1854, it was decreed that the Court of Directors should select their worthiest members for conti nuance in office, and conjectural lists of those mem bers were made in anticipation of the event, the name of Mr. Bayley was uniformly to be found at the head of them as the man whom every one of his colleagues was certain to select. But when, four years afterwards, the East India Company were deprived of their political powers, and another act of self-election was decreed, Mr. Bayley intimated his intention of withdrawing altogether from public life. It was time, indeed, for him to retire, after 60 years of good service. The great Indian mutiny had been a severe blow to him, and his health had sensibly declined from the time of its first outbreak. He looked with distrust upon the new form of Government, and still more so upon the new-school opinions which were making their way, and said that it was time for him to be gone. His great natural vigour, however, was not easily sub dued, and he lingered until the 29th of May, 1860, retaining his intellectual faculties, and the sweet ness of disposition for which he was so distin guished, to the last. He was a model of a " Company's servant," as Company's servants were in their best days. In that sense he was a " representative man," and there are few of his class not proud to be so repre sented—not because his name is associated with any lustrous exploits, but because he was a useful public servant, an honourable gentleman, and altogether a fine specimen of manhood. Had he been of a more ambitious temper he might have done more for himself, but probably in that case he would have done less for India; for it is not by individual efforts of wisdom or heroism that England has reared the great fabric of her Indian empire, and musthop hope to maintain it, but by sending fort h a constant suc cession of high-principled English gentlemen, sercon tent to labour quietly and o bscurel y , and to con tribute their unappreciated share to the g rea t sum itsny 's trial • totalser vice" ee i s of now good extinct;government. anew st e ` m r C i o s m o p n a but whatever may be th e resu lt of the experiment,' whatever the character and career of th e new race of Indian statesmen, history will not refuse to honour the memory of those public serva n t s, the growth of an exclusive system, who so ug ht no hi g her distinc tion than that of being accou n t e d worthy exemplars in their generation of the genuine " Kainpani-ka nuokur." AID TO GARIBALDL—A meeting, called by cir cular, was held at Edinburgh on Tuesday, "to consider the propriety of commencing a subscription in aid of Gari baldi and the Italians." Mr. Mossman, Dean of Guild, presided. The following resolution, drawn out by Mr. Dun can M'Laren, was proposed and seconded :—" That this 'meeting deeply sympathises with the inhabitauts of Sicily in their efforts to free themselves from the cruel oppression to which they have been so long subjected, and resolve to open a subscription in testimony of their sympathy, and to remit the amount of the same to the patriot Garibaldi, through the London committee, with the least possible de lay." Mr. Richardson proposed the omission of the words through th© London committee," on the ground that it was desirable not to merge Scotland with England in this matter, but to show the people of Sicily that Scotland, I.s a nation that had herself struggled for freedom, sympathy; led with their exertions to throw off the tyrant's yoke. Sev o ral of the speakers expressed anxiety to keep their procee ,d -ings unchallenged as regards legality in point of inter, ra tional law ; but the statements that had been made in P or nament by Ministers, and the steps that had been to ken elsewhere, were held as fully warranting the r esolution A. committee was appointed to institute a publicsubscript ,ion, and the sum of 4i2 oubscribed et th e tabl e. "TO THE ME3IIIERS OP THE STOCK-EXCHANGE. "Gentlemen,—The committee for general purposes have already made known to you their several awards of punish ment against Mr. R. Johnston, Mr. S. Sheldon; Mr. T. Uzielli, Mr. W. A. Bradock, and Messrs. It. S., J. S., and C. J. Scrimgeour, for having carried on speculative trans actions for W. G. Pullinger, when chief cashier to the Union Bank of London, without communicating with his employers; and having also recorded their severe censure of the conduct of Messrs. Bell and Ball, their duties, under ordinary circumstances, might have been considered at an end. " They think, however, that it should be publicly known that the offence for which the members suspended have been so severely dealt with was a disregard of the warning contained in a rule (No. 85) passed by the committee for the especial protection of banking and other interests, and they deem it an act of justice to yourselves to give publicity to the result of a long and careful investigation, which en• ables them to state, that neither from any data furnished by the Union Bank, nor by evidence otherwise obtained, have they any knowledge or suspicion that other members of the Stock Exchange are implicated in these unjustifiable transactions. " The committee wish to make these facts known as speedily as possible, as they conceive that the Stock Ex change—a body numbering more than 1,000 members, and largely representing the commercial and financial interests of this country—has been suffering too long from a general reproach which, in reality, should only attach to five of its present firms—one of the offending parties, the firm of Messrs. Bell and Ball, who carried on by far the largest operations for W. G. Pullinger, being, in consequence of default in and since April, 1819, beyond the control of the committee. " Your committee also consider that some notice should be taken of the circular issued in April last to the share • holders of the Union Bank of London, in which the direc tors, frcm the confessions of Pullinger, most hastily adopted by themselves, lead the public to infer that the enormous amount of £263,000, embezzled by the delinquent clerk, had been lost by him in speculations on the Stock Ex change. _ . _ " Your committee refrain from commenting en the evi dent laxity of that system of check which has proved itself not only insufficient to prevent the commission of a gigantic fraud, but has allowed it to remain undetected from year to year. Your committee wish distinctly to state that the only documents possessed by the directors of the Union Bank, upon which they adopted the assertions of Pullinger, were certain brokers' notes and accounts, generally without head ing or signature, and representing a trifling loss of about £17,290. Upon this p int there can be no doubt, as the com mittee have seen and examined the whole of these papers ; and the directors of the Union Bank admit that they nei ther had, when they issued their circular, nor have since found, any other documents than tkose referred to. " By an account of banknotes passed and credits given, the Union Bank of London have furnished to your com mittee sufficient evidence to enable them to carry through a general and searching inquiry, including a viva voce exa mination of the brokers accused of having undertaken spe culative business for Pullinger; but in order to obtain a full knowledge of the facts a sub-committee was specially appointed to analyse and report upon each separate account, and, from their investigation, it results that the balance of moneys actually paid by W. G. Pullinger, on account of speculative transactions carried on through members of the Stock •Exchange (including Messrs. Bell and Ball), from January, 1855, when the defalcations first commenced, up to April of the present year, amounted to a total of £33,285. It is but reasonable to suppose that this amount would not have been so large had not Pullinger's operations been greatly facilitated by the extraordinary power which he ap pears to have possessed in passing entries to the accounts and in the passbooks of those brokrs who kept accounts at the Union Bank. _ _ " Through what channels the immense balance of above nOO,OOO has passed it is scarcely a question for this com mittee to decide. But it appears, in an account furnished by the Union Bank, that the delinquent Pullinger had passed credits amounting to £57,000 to a person named Nathan, who is reported to have died lately at Paris, pos sessed of considerable wealth, and who had, at the time these entries were made, an account with the Union Bank; but as Nathan was never a member of the Stock-Exchange, the committee can have no knowledge of his transactions. There is also very sufficient evidence that Pulllinger was largely interested in the results of horse-racing. "To co-operate with the directors of the Union Bank, and to render them every assistance, has been the constant wish of the committee; and they h ave much pleasure in knowing that, from information forwarded through them, and by individual members of the Stock-Exchange, the directors have been enabled to realise valuable assets placed by Pullinger in the names of other persons. " On the other hand, the directors of the Union Bank not only furnished information leading to the suspension of Messrs. Bradock, Johnston, Sheldon, and Uzielli, but in answer to the earnest requests of your committee, promised to forward to them as soon as obtained every intelligence as to the participation of other members of the Stock Ex change in speculative transactions for Pullinger. Th e following facts will enable you to decide whether the promises made by the directors of the Union Bank have been fulfilled. " Immediately after the discovery of the enormous loss sustained by the Union Bank , Messrs. S cr i mgeour commu nicated to the Bank, through the manager, Mr. W. W. Scrimgeour, that they, the brokers to the company, had carried on a speculative account for W. G. Pullinger ; but the committee regret to say that no communication was made to them on this subject by either manager or direc tors, and that the knowledge of the offence committed was obtained by your committee through an entirely different channel, and at an interval of more than a month after the first communication of Messrs. Scrimgeour to the manager of the Union Barak. " Determined as your committee have been to administer strict and impartial justice to all, and believing that the feelings of the directors of the Union Bank of London were entirely in unison with their own, the discovery of this im portant suppression has caused them considerable pain and surprise. " in conclusion, your committee cannot but express re gret that even six firms of the Stock Exchange should have carried on speculations on account of a clerk in a banking establishment; but they trust they have shown that they are determined to enforce obedience to a law passed spe cially to protect the interests of the public; and they feel confident they represent the feeling of the entire body of the Stock Exchange in saying that they deeply deplore the acts of those who, by their misconduct, have compromised the character of the Stook Exchange. "By order of the Committee, " GEORGE LOVELESS, Secretary. " Stock Exchange, June .61" TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—The following brief summary is gleaned from the evidence (not the report) of the Parliamen tary committee " On Anchors and Cables, Merchant Service," printed by order of the House of Com mons, March 7, 1860. Liverpool and Sunderland appear to be the only ports of the United Kingdom provided with public proving-machines wherewith the strength, and con sequent efficiency, of anchors and cables can be tested. The statistical results from 1855 to 1859 ad duced by the Liverpool Superintendent are most remarkable. He states that during the above four years 49,777 fathoms were proved at the corporation machine, out of which 41,146 fathoms were found defective, or 821 per cent., at a proof 121 to 15 per cent. less than the official test applied to all cables used in the royal navy, or 11-, 1 ,- tons to the square inch ; and good ordinary iron is computed to bear 28 tons tensile strain before fracture. He is asked (question 367)—" What is the nature of the fractures you class under the head ' defec tive P—Cracks, openings of the weld, and flaws in the iron. (446.) Am Ito understand a defective cable to be one which yields in one or two or three links ?—We have had as many as 70 bad links in one length of 15 fathoms. (452.) What becomes of the condemned cables ?—I do not know—they are sold. (584.) Can you state what proportion of the cables in the port of Liverpool are tested P—l do not think we test one in a thousand; I believe the greater proportion of cables are not tested." A Sunderland shipowner is also examined (ques tion, 1,760),—" Taking the case of a brig of 250 tons, what is the weight of her two chains ?—About four tons. (1761.) What is the difference of value per ton between the worst and the best cable she could take out P—l endeavour to see that I get the best; it is just lOs. per ton. (1,762,) The conse quence is that for L 2 you make the difference between risk and safety ?—Between risk and less risk." In order fully to appreciate the meaning of these questions and answers, let us turn to the scene en acted yesterday week off Yarmouth. The anchorage is an open roadstead ; 100 or more coasters, colliers, &c., had resorted there for safety. At 10 a.m. a fine brig was first seen dragging towards the edge of the Scroby Sands, and shortly afterwards nine others were to be seen driving to swift destruction, within sight of horror-stricken spectators who thronged the beach to witness this accumulation of casualties. The men whose duty it was to man the lifeboat were all this time wrangling on the beach; every moment thus sacrificed claimed its victims, and some 50 or 60 precious lives perished in the sea or sands around Scroby. Thus practically demonstrated is the nice distinc tion between " risk and safety, or risk and less risk." One ship is supplied with anchors and cables truly symbolical of hope and safety, and by which she rides out the fury of the tempest ; while the ill fated ship found with worthless anchors and fraudulent cables is driven from alongside to certain destruction or shipwreck. An hydraulic proof apparatus for testing the strength of chains and anchors is very simple and inexpensive in operation ; 10s. per ton covers the whole expense and outlay, and the establishments at Liverpool and Sunderland are thus rendered self supporting. It would be no restriction upon trade, or inter ference with the shipowner, to enforce a recognised standard proof for anchors and cables, the same as for guns and pistols, gold or silver plate. I implore the aid of your powerful pen once more in the cause, and remain,—Yours, ix. JOHN TROTMAN. 42, Cornhill, June 5. JOHN B. GOUGII.--During the past year Mr. Gough has delivered 175 of his powerful addresses in the provinces, 14 in Exeter Hall, and 10 in theatres, halls, and chapels in London. In the provinces it is estimated that over 140,000 have listened to his arguments and appeals, and over 4,000 have signed the pledge of total abstinence ; while in London he has addressed upwards of 30,0 n persons, and 1,600 persons have been added to the pledge-book at the close of the meetings, besides large nvanbers afterwards. [ADVERTISEMENT]. —Holloway ' s Pills and Ointment— Debility, Consumption.—ln no diseases are the results of the alterative and tonic influence of those invaluable reme dies more apparent or more gratifying than in that feeble condition of the body which precedes consumption. A change for the better is observed ore this treatment has been followed for a week, and the improvement steadily progresses ; the melancholy emaciation soon gives place to health, strength, and cheerfulness. The appetite re turns, the perspirations diminish, the shortness of breath ceases, and the incessant cough soon vanishes altogether. 7.'he ointment should be rubbed most effectually between the shoulders, on the chest, and left side.
