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
1
London to-morrow. It likewise protests against
the proposed writing off of X 120,000 of capital, and
intimates t hat, 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, warehome-
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 cceasioned by the
wilful neglect and default of the said trustees and
directors, and by breach of their duty awl of the
provisions of the deed of settlement of the said
bank. And I further give you notice 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 further 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, 1860. '
"EDMUND A. FAWCETT.
" Te the Union Bank of London, to Henry
Newmarch, Esq., Secretary of the said
Bank, and to the Directors 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 back. The following
are the most material paragraphs :
"In the latter end of, I think, 185441 was
absent from the bank, and on my 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 business hours, Icalled,
on the afternoon of the first Sunday thereafter, at
the house of Mr. Barton, the assistant-manager,
and informed him of the discrepancy. Mr. Barton
treated it simply as a mistake, supposing that that
amo*nt 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 I 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 ho showed
me a pass-book which then agreed with my ledger,
and so the matter ended. From that time dawn 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 dowa
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 th e
circumstances to be investigated, and that you will
order my dismissal to be cancelled."

of ,Church people and Dissenters established
by the last census, if, indeed, we ever thought
it worth while to inquire, but it has not
led to a single practical result. No doubt, it has
appeared in Episcopal charges and Nonconformist
magazines; but, except in the torrid zone of pole-
mics, the whole question is 7itterly unknown. On
the contrary, had a tenth part of the zeal lavished
ou tthis 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 and
eternity. 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—limes.
