It Was stated yesterday that a clerk in the Union
sank was supposed to have becoran acquainted with the
fact more than a year ago that Pullinger was engaged in
speculations. It now appears that this clerk saw enough
to render him watchful, and that he was the person through
Whom the discovery of the fraud was finally effected.
It is stated that after the departure from Sydney
of the last Australian mail, a telegram five days later was
despatched to catch the steamer at Adelaide, and to report
the suspension of two large and old established houses,
S —Messrs. David Jonas and Co., and Messrs. Thompson,
ymonds, and Co. Their liabilities aro bolievod to 115 prin-
cipally in England, and are thought likely to amount to
£250,000. It was feared that others would follow. Messrs.
David Jones and Co. are wholesale drapery importers, and
Thompson, Symonds, and Co. connected with them.
The decree for the reduction of the French sugar
Cafes is to come into operation to-d ay. The alteration has
not caused any change in prices in France, as the dealers
hold large stocks, especially the Mauritius kinds.
The bar silver brought by the West India packet
has been sold at 610., being an advance of id. on the price
realised for that by the previous mail. No Mexican dollars
of any amount came forward by this opportunity, but within
the last two or three days sales have been effected at 621-d.
and 62/d.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tries DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Cilgwrgan, Bettws, and Tregynon Road Bill and
the I‘loy River Navigation Bill were considered and ordered
for third reading.
The Montrose and Bervie Railway Bill was read a second
time.

ANNUITY TAX ABOLITION (EDINBURGH)
ILL.
On the order of the day for the second reading of this
bill.

Mr. HADFIELD said that last year they were promised
a perfect and satisfactory measure in reference to the
long-vexed question of the annuity tax at Edinburgh;
but the present measure was the very reverse. To
show this, he referred to an important meeting of the Town
Council and magistrates in 3dinburgh last week, as well as
other public meetings, at vhich resolutions were passed
strongly condemning the hil . The fact was that the mea-
sure excited general dissati3faction in Edinburgh, being
opposed to the prevalent feeling in Scotland. The Free
Church of Scotland greatly exceeded in numbers that of
the State Church of Scotland, and the sums of money its
members had raised under the voluntary system astonished
Christendom. With that principle so strongly developed,
he could not help expressing his surprise that the Lord
Advocate should have considered it advisable to in.
troduce a measure to perpetuate so objectionable an
impost as the annuity tax. He adverted also to the large
number of petitions presented against the measure as a
proof of ifs great unpopularity, and contended that, after
the course pursued by the legislature in respect to ministers'
money in Ireland, it was most undesirable to introduce a
measure like the present. The hon. member concluded by
moving that the bill be read a second time this day six
months.
Mr. CAIRD said that he would not press an amendment
which ho intended to have proposed on the motion for the
second reading of the bill, as the Lord Advocate
had stated that he would endeavour to alter the bill
in committee, so as to meet the objections that had
been raised against it by its opponents. He
doubted, however, whether even when it had been modified
in committee it would give satisfaction.
Sir R. FERGUSON said that the arguments used against
this bill by the hon. member for Sheffield would apply
equally against the maintenance of the Church of England
in this country. He called therefore on the supporters of
the Church of England to support the Lord-Advocate in his
endeavours by this bill to lighten the burdens on the people
of Scotland fn supporting the National Church. He con-
sidered that this bill was a fair compromise of the
_..... long-vexed question in Edinburgh, and he denied
altogether that the tax proposed Waa a now irr,
post. The bill proposed to include in taxation
for the Established Church in Scotland persons who had
hitherto been improperly exempted from its operation,
such as the learned bodies in Edinburgh, who from time
immemorial had net been required to pay towards such a
purpose. He admitted that there were objectionable pro-
vielons in the bill. In the first place he was strongly op-
posed to the proposal to reduce the number of the clergy,
and if such a proposit'on were made in reference to London
it would create a storm of discontent. He contended it was
most desirable that the differences which prevailed on this
subject should be settled, and he appealed to the house to
ac.. in a spirit of conciliation in order to accomplish this
object. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. MACKAY said there could be no doubt as to the
expediency of settling this long vexed question. Last year
there were no less than 112 summonses issued in Edinburgh
against defaulters in respect to this tax, which were fob
lowed in many cases by arrests and imprisonment. That
was a state of things that was most objectionable, and he
thought the proper course would be to allow the bill to he
read a second time, in order that it might go into commit-
tee, and be amended so as to meet the views of those who
were anxious to terminate the present objectionable state of
things. He appealed, therefore, to the hon. Member for
Sheffield not to press his amendment.
Mr. BLACK having referred to the deputations sent by
Government to inquiry into the subject in Scotland, and to
the report of the select committee of 1851, recommending
arrangements to be made for the settlement of the diffe-
rences that prevailed in Edinburgh in reference to this
matter, in order to promote the interests of religion and
good government in the city. He had looked carefully into
the bill, and considered that it contained the basis of a satis-
factory arrangement. Ile strongly'approved of the adoption
of the recommendation of the Town Council of Edinburgh
which had been agreed to by that body at a public meeting.
He alluded to the appointment of 13 Ministers with a
salary of X6OO a-year each guaranteed to them. He honed
the house would not throw any obstacle in the way of
speedy legislation on this long-vexed question, both for
the interests of religion and the sake of peace.
Major HAMILTON supported the second reading of
the bill, and contended that the annuity tax was nothing
more than a simple bond, by which their ancestors bound
themselves, their heirs and successors, to pay a certain
impost for a quid pro quo.
Sir E. COLEBROOKE considered that though the bill
did not go so far as might have been desired, still it was,
to a certain extent, a concession on the part of the Esta-
blished 13hurch of Scotland, and would therefore have his
support.
Mr. BLACKBURN and Mr. Munn supported the second
reading.
The LORD-ADVOCATE said it was gratifying to him
that no single Scotch member had opposed the second read-
ing of the bill, and he hoped the hon. member for Sheffield
would not press his amendment. The principle on which
he proposed to proceed in his bill was to accumulate a fund
by an impost for 15 years, which, at the expiration of that
period, was to terminate. However, as the Town Council
objected to that course and preferred that there should be a
reduced permanent imports. ho had no objection to the
adoption of that course, an kwould propose amendments in
committee for the purpose of carrying it out. He would
aaloutlialtaltS to tonal: o.; hon. members.
Mr. HADFIELD said that he would yield to the wishes
of the Scotch members, and withdraw his amendment.
The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
( ()emitted on Monday next.
CHARITY TRUSTEES BILL.
On the motion of Mr. MELLOR, the order for the second
reading of the bill was discharged.
Several other bills were proposed.
CONSOLIDATION FUND (t 9,500,000) BILL.
This bill was read a second time.
COURT OF CHANCERY BILL.
On the motion of Sir G. C. LEWIS, this bill was re-
ferred to a select committee.
The house then adjourned at 20 minutes past two o'clock

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH- STREET.
ATTEMPT TO EXTORT MONEY PROM A GENTLEMAN
fly A CORPORAI.OP THE GRENADIERS.—John David-
eon, a corporal of the Ist battalion of Grenadiers, was
charged before Mr. Beadon with attempting to extort money
from Mr. George. Brown, a gentleman lately from Shirley,
Southampton, but now staying at Lane's Hotel, St. Alban's-
place, Haymarket.
The complainant stated that midway between Evans's
Hotel and Leicester-square he called in at a public-house
and had some porter, awl as he was leaving the prisoner
asked him to treat him with a glass of beer, saying, " You
are not going to leave us in this manner, are you ?" He
returned to the house and treated him and his companions
with some beer, and on leaving the prisoner followed him
and asked for some gin and a half-crown. He told him to
leave him and not annoy him, upon which the prisoner said
he should follow him and give him in charge, and as soon
as they met a constable the prisoner made a disgusting
charge against him. Re (prosecutor) felt greatly enraged,
and could n t exactly say what the prisoner oharged
kis
with.
Cornell, 109 C, said the complainant, on his coming up,
said the soldier wanted to get money from him by making
a false accusation. The prisoner then said he wanted to
make a oharge against the gentleman, but his statements
being so much at variance he refused to take it, and as the
gentleman he took him into
prisonercustody still annoyed the .

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—May 15.

OLD COURT.
(Continued front The Sun of yesterday.)
THE UNION BANK FRAUDS.
Pullinger, who pleaded guilty to the two indictments
against him for embezzlement, was to-day sentenced
to 14 years' penal servitude on the first indictment and six
years 'on the second--making 20 years in all.
THE CA SE OP THE REV. MR. HATCH AND EUGENIA PLUMMER.
Much curiosity was exhibited in court this morning with
respect to the sentence the learned judge would impose npon
the child Eugenia Plummer, in consequence of the verdict
of guilty that was returned against her late last night. In
consequence of the recommendation of the jury, with which
the verdict was accompanied, it was suggested that the
girl should be removed from the charge of her parents for
some considerable time, and placed under the care of some
person to be agreed upon. _
Application has also been made to the Secretary of State
for the release of Mr. Hatch from Newgate.
At three o'clock Eugenia Plummer, who was found guilty
yesterday of perjury, was placed in the dock to receive
sentence.
Mr. Baron Channel!, addressing her, said that after a
long and patient trial she had been found guilty of the
crime of perjury; but in delivering their verdict the
jury had recommended her to the merciful considera-
tion of the Court. There was reason to sup.
pose, judging from the finding of the jury, that from
neglect and indifference to her education, she had acquired
habits of untruthfulness, which might lead to grea traischief
if not corrected. The Court felt that it might treat her as
having given way to untruthful statements for the purpose
of getting out of Mr. Hatch's family, to which she seemed to
have formed a dislike. Under these circumstances the
Court desired to pass upon her as lenient a sentence as pos-
sible, but at the same time one that would operate for her
benefit. The sentence would be that she be imprisoned in
the House of Correction at Holloway for three weeks, and that
at the end of that time she should be placed in a refoimatory
school, as should hereafter be ordered by the Court. A pro-
posal had been made by her friends, which had received
the anxious consideration of the Court, but he could not at
that moment treat it as part of his judicial sentence. The
proposal, however, would be at once submitted to the Secre-
tary of State, and if he believed that under proper
securities it would tend to promote her welfare, the sen-
tence now passed would undoubtedly be remitted. While
she remained in prison her -comfort would be attended to,
and she would have the benefit of instruction from a lady
who had devoted considerable time and attention to the
care of female children. She would then be placed in a re-
formatory school, and he hoped that her education 'would
be attended to.

The prisoner was then removed from the dock. She cried
slightly towards the conclusion of the sentence, but her
father who was with her appeared quite unmoved.
In a fow moments after she had been taken down stairs
she was brought back by direction of the learned Judge, who
informed her that he found he could not send her to a rofor-

matory for less than two years. His sentence upon her,
therefore, must be three weeks in Holloway Prison, and two
years in the reformatory school. That matter would, how-
ever, be dealt with by the Secretary of State. The prisoner
cried a little and was removed.
