It is said that several arrests have taken place in
Paris in consequence of some plot having been dis-
covered against the Emperor by Italians. It seems
to bo the rule that arrests shall take place when-
ever a fete is given on a large scale. The present
occasion was the ball given by the Empress at the
mansion in the Champs Elysees, built for Madame
Montijo, and which is known as the Hotel d'Albe.
The Emperor remained till five in the morning.
It was with this fete, which it appears was the
gayest yet given, that the rumours are connected.
M. Thiers, it is said, is about to visit the field of
the battle of Waterloo, to prepare materials for the
18th volume of his History, which will comprise
the Hundred Days.

TILE GREAT FRAUD IN THE UNION
.BANK.

MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)

To-day having been fixed upon for the further proceeding
into the investigation of the charges of fraud made against
George Pullinger, late chief cashier in the Union Bank, the
entrances and lobbies of the Mansion-house were besieged by
persons anxious to gain admission to the justice •room, but
the crowded state of the Court prevented but few being ad-
mitted.

On the bench at each side of the Lord Mayor were a great
number of aldermen, and several gentlemen ,of great influ-
ence in the city.
-Mr. Giffard, who conducts the prosecution, and the autho-
rities of the Union Bank, having arrived, Pullinger was
placed at the felon's bar. He was attired in a black suit,
1 over which he wore a splendid brown overcoat lined with
quilted satin, and appeared to bear up against his position
with great difficulty.
The Lord Mayor. addressing the prisoner, said—Have
you a solicitor in attendance ?
Pullinger—No, my lord.
Mr. Giffard Although, my lord, the prisoner
in the first instance was only charged with steal-
ing the comparatively small sum of £350, the property
of his employers, the directors of the Union Bank,
Princes-street, it had now been discovered that
the sum stolen amounted to no less than about £260,000;
and the mode in which the robbery had been committed
was so complicated that, it was obvious a very rigid exami-
nation into the system adopted by the prisoner would have
to be made. Such being the case I do not intend to pro-
ceed with further evidence to-day, and I shall confine my-
self to formally having the evidence, on which the first re-
mand was granted, read over and signed by the witness,
and then ask for another remand until this day week.
His lordship having as rented to the course,
Mr. Newmarsh, the secretary to the bank, was then
called and having been ST fern,
The Chief Clerk read 'over his evidence, which was as
follows :—The prisoner was the chief cashier at the Union
Bank, and from certain discoveries ho was called into the
directors' room, where. Mr. Lawrie and myself were
present. Pullinger 'Ras informed that there was
a charge made aga.tast him of defrauding the
'tank. He replied he alnould give no trouble, anti then
asked for the vouchers of the missing bills. On receiving
them he selected nut a voucher for £350, and said he had
obtained that amount fro ca the cashier in the morning, and
had applied it to his own, purposes. He was given into
custody.
Tha,Lord Mayor—Do you wish to ask Mr. Newmarsh
any question ?
Prisoner—No, my lord
Mr. Newmarsh then signed his deposition, and the pri-
soner was remanded until this day week,
