The investigation has, of course, been extended to all
the accounts of each department of the bank ; and, after the
most rigorous examination, the Directors can speak with
confidence as to the entire accuracy of all the accounts ;
and they feel satisfied that the system now in operation is
sufficient, and effectual in all respects.
The extent of the defalcation, and the simplicity of the
course adopted by Pullinger, tend to increase the responsi-
bility which the knowledge acquired after the event may
east upon the manager's department ; but the Directors be-
lieve that no proprietor can forget that Mr. Scrimgeour has
been the faithful and zealous manager of the bank since its
establishment, and that, during his management, it has at-
tained its present magnitude and high position. No pro-
prietary was ever served with more disinterestedness and
energy, and the directors feel assured that these services,
which the proprietors have acknowledged from year to year,
cannot be forgotten on the first reverse which the bank has
experienced.

The Stock Exchange Committee, in their report of sth
June, complain that " the Directors led the public to infer
that the enormous sum of M 63,000, embezzled by the de-
linquent clerk, had been lost by him in speculations on the
Stock Exchange," while a loss of "only £53,285 has been
traced on account of speculative transactions carried on
through members of the Stock Exchange." The directors
consider that their statement—" it now appears that :he
(Pullinger) had been engaged in an extensive system of
time-bargains on the Stock Exchange"—is fully borne out
by the figures in this report, supported by the resolution of
the committee on the Stock Exchange, censuring Messrs.
Bell and Ball " for having transacted speculative business
to a most reckless extent for Pullinger," and they do not
think it warrants the inference drawn from it by that com-
mittee.

The Directors give full credit to the Committee of the
Stock Exchange for their desire to enforce the strict ob-
servance of their regulation against transacting speculative
business for clerks in public and private establishments, as
well as for their anxiety for the reputation of their associa-
tion ; but admitting it to be true, that only a portion of the
money stolen has been discovered to have been lost on the
Stock Exchange directly through members of that body,
there can be no doubt that the bulk of the defalcations has
been lost " through an extensive system of time bargains,"
although all those operations were not conducted by mem-
bers of the Stock Exchange.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange also complain of
the Directors withholding from their knowledge that Messrs.
Scrimgeour and Co., the Brokers of the Bank, had carried
on a speculative account for Pullinger, while they fur-
nished information to that effect as regards four other mem-
bers of the Stock Exchange.
Shortly after the discovery of the frauds, Messrs. Scrim-
geouc and Co. informed the Manager, for the first time,
that they had had one transaction with Pullinger—which
was the purchase of £5,000 Turkish Stock in July, 1856
which they had continued, without charging any brokerage,
till 16th March, 1860; having treated it as an act of courtesy
towards a person they had known for many years holding
a confidential position in the Bank of which they were
the Brokers; and as there was no regulation of the Stock
Exchange against brokers dealing with clerks at the time
the purchase was effected, their attention was not drawn to
the rule, as applicable to this case.
The manager at once reported this communication to the
Directors, who received it with equal surprise and die-

approbation.
The Directors furnished the committee with all informa-
tion traced by them in the course of their investigations ;
and, if they hail thus discovered any connection whatever
between Pullinger and Messrs. Scrimgeour and Co., they
would have reported it to the committee, as they reported
his connection with other stockbrokers, as soon as it became
known to them; but they had no knowledge of this trans-
aetion, except from the voluntary statement of Messrs.
Scrimgeour and Co.—and the Directors felt, and still feel,
that they would not have been justified in making such a
use of a spontaneous statement of facts of which the
Directors could have had no cognizance in any other way.
In accordance with their Report on the
24th April last, the Directors have ap-
propriated towards meeting these frauds

From one of the passengers we obtain the following in-
formation :--
"There are 38 passengers and 8 guests, all in the best of
health, and have been so during the entire voyage, which
has been a particularly fine one and full of interest.
" It has demonstrated the Great Eastem's superiority as
a seagoing vessel, and the excellence and reliability of her
machinery.
" The highest speed attained was 141 knots. The ship's
bottom is very foul, and an allowance of at least two knots
an hour should be made on that account.
" The distance from Southampton, as usually steamed, is
3,190 miles, but to avoid the ice she went further south."
The Great Eastern is now at anchor between the
bar and the Lightship. She will cross the bar at 3
o'clock—the top of high water, and arrive at the
city at about 5 o'clock.
DETAILS OF THE VOYAGE TO NEW YORK.
On Board the Great Eastern, June 28.
The Great Eastern was advertised to sail on Sa-
turday, the 16th of June. Workmen were engaged
on her up to 5 o'clock on the afternoon of that day,
and before they could be disembarked the weather,
which had been stormy since noon, became thick
and hazy, so that it was felt by the pilot that it
would be dangerous to attempt to take so large a
vessel through the intricate channel of the Solent
in the uncertain light of the evening, She lay,
therefore, at her moorings in Southampton-water
till Sunday morning. About 7 o'clock orders were
given to unshackle the mooring chains. Such is
the ponderous character of these cables that it was
some 45 minutes before this could be effected. The
morning was raw and gusty, with the wind blow-
ing down the water. The tide had canted the huge
vessel athwart the channel, which she appeared to
half block up, but on hoisting the forestaysail she
slowly paid off and got her head pointed in the
direction she was to go. Steam was admitted into
the cylinders of the paddle engines about 10
minutes past 8 o'clock; shortly after the order was
given " easy ahead with the screw," and the Great
Eastern steamed slowly out on her first voyage to
sea. It has been a matter of remark in all the
trials that no motion whatever is felt when the
ship is under way. This was corroborated by
our experience of the start this morning. It was
not until the objects on shore began to recede that
one could realise the fact of the huge ship being
fairly on her voyage. A few minutes' steaming
brought us abreast of Calahot Castle, where the
colours were dipped, in acknowledment of a similar
courtesy from the fort. With this exception our
departure was ungreeted. The men on board the
few vessels we saw had seen so muck of the big
ship that she excited no emotion in their minds,
and we passed without a single cheer. The ship
rounded the Bell Buoy and ran into the Solent with
the handiness of a yacht. As we passed Yarmouth
our presence was acknowledged by lowerin 0° . the
ensign of the Yacht Club-house, a civility duly
returned by the ship. In two hours from starting
we were abreast of the Needles, a little to the east-
ward of which we passed a large ship on shore,
that had come to grief in trying to run out during
the haziness of the previous evening. At 20 minutes
past 10 o'clock we discharged our Southampton
pilot, Mr. Bowyer, who, on taking his departure,
fraternised very cordially with his American con-
frere, Mr. Murphy. In a few minutes we again got
under way, with the screw making 27 revolutions
and the paddles about 71 revolutions per minute,
and ran down Channel. The ship on starting
drew 22 feet of water forward and 26 aft. Her right
trim is on an even keel, so that her condition was
rather unfavourable to her best performance. She
had 5,500 tons of coals in the bunkers. Being stored
principally aft, this had something to do with her
being down by the stern. The object in making
the trip out was not to attempt to get any
great amount of speed out of the ship, but to
get machinery and men into good working order.
After discharging the pilot, the ship steamed
steadily down the English Channel, nicking a
straight course past the Bill of Portland. Nume-
rous vessels were passed, but no notice was taken
of us, if we except the case of one little schooner,
which, standing across our bows, held on her
course until a collision seemed inevitable. She
then sheared up alongside near enough to toss a
biscuit on board, and having apparently satisfied
herself of our character and proportions, luffed up
and continued her voyage. By 130 p.m. we were
abreast of Portland light, whence we made the run
to the start in something under four hours, show-
ing an average, under easy steam, of nearly 12
knots an hour. At 752 we sighted the Eddystone
lighthouse, distant five miles. The Lizard was
seen at 9 p.m. and'passed at 11 20, the lighthouse
bearing north-north-east distant seven miles. To-
wards evening the weather, which during the day
had been thick, with occasional showers, cleared up
and became fine.

MONDAY, JUNE 18.

Commenced with light, variable breezes and
hazy weather. Ship steamed steadily on her
course, with the paddles making eight to eight and
a half revolutions and the screw about 28. At 2
a.m. sighted St. Agnes light, and at 7 passed to
the southward of Bishop's Rock. As we rounded
the Scilly Islands we met the long westerly swell
of the Atlantic Ocean. The great ship acknow-
ledged its power by behaving very much in the same
way as another would have done under similar cir-
cumstances—that is to say, that she rolled very dis-
tinctly. The motion, though similar in kind, is much
less in degree and much slower than in a smaller
vessel. Observations at noon showed that we were
in latitude 49 deg. 27 min. north, and longitude
7 deg. 54 min. west. Distance run from the Needles
300 knots. The engineer's log showed that the
paddle engines had made on an average eight and
a half revolutions, and the screw 28 revolutions ;
average pressure of steam 151 b., with a consump-
tion of coals since getting under way of 250 tons.
No more striking illustration of the economy of
the principle involved in the construction of the
Great Eastern can be given than by a moment's
comparison of her day's work with that of the
' crack ship of the Cunard line—the Persia. This
vessel, which is about one-fifth the tonnage of her
gigantic rival, burns on an average 170 or 180 tons
of coal a day. Her average performance under
steam alone would not exceed this first day's run of

Commenced wi th fresh breezeS and light misty
weather. Wind hauled again to the westward,
with heavy squalls of rain. At 8 a.m. took in all
sail. One of the most interesting lounges on board
of the ship was a visit to the engine-rooms to
watch the ponderous masses of metal revolving
with steady, uniform motion in the performance of
their appointed task. Nothing can be more easy
and beautiful than the mode in which both screw
and paddle engines have worked. While lying at
Southampton alterations were made in the valve
gear, by which priming in the cylinders seems to
have been successfully obviated. All who were on
board during the trial trips will remember the
tremendous pounding noise made by the piston at
times from this cause. To the uninitiated it seemed
as if the bottom of the cylinder must inevitably be
knocked out. Opening a small tap to allow the
escape of the intruding water was the remedy
which speedily put a stop to the disturbance.
Everything has gone on with the most perfect
order and precision. The paddle-engines worked
so quietly that, with the eyes shut, one would
be unconscious of a power being in operation
which, in its resistless force seems scarcely
inferior to those which operate in the dread
convulsions of nature. Though really far more
powerful than the paddle-engines, the screw
engines do not convey. to the mind the same
impression of calm matured strength. They
wrestle with the ponderous screw shaft so busily as
to give the idea of making great efforts to accom-
plish their task. The engines are the largest ever
made for marine purposes, and their performances
in every particular are worthy of the firm estab-
lished by the father of the steam engine—James
Watt. The only mistake made in fitting them was
that of employing " soft metal" bearings for the
screw shaft. This, when exposed to the action of
the salt water, during the run from Portland to
Holyhead and back to Southampton, speedily gave
out. Bearings in brass and lignumvitre were then
substituted, and these have been found to answer
well.
A long westerly swell this morning caused the
ship to roll more than she has ever done yet.
Weather thick and foggy, putting one in mind of
the banks of Newfoundland. Towards noon cleared
up sufficiently to get the usual observations, which
determinded our position to be latitude 46 deg. 16
min. north, longitude 30 deg. 3 min. west_ Dis-
tance run 304 miles. Sandy Hook bore 79 deg. 45
min. west, distant 1,960 miles. Got sail on the
ship about 5 p.m., but the wind soon hauled so much
ahead that they were useless, and before midnight
were taken in. People were not quite so sanguine
to-day about making the shortest passage to the
westward. They thought it might be extended to
ten days, and those who had been most frequently
across even contemplated the possibility of its being
eleven days before we saw New York.
FRIDAY, JUNE 22.

We have not been fortunate as respects wind. It
has prevailed from the westward ever since start-
ing., sometimes veering sufficiently to induce the
officer of the watch to make sail, but then hauling
ahead so as to render the canvas of little service.
The experience of the effect of the sails on the ship's
way up to the present seems to indicate that with a
good breeze they will add one knot an hour to her
speed, besides easing the engines. During the mid-
dle watch fresh breeze from the north-west ; at 4
a.m. shifted to the south-west and blew freshly,
with rain squalls; at 7.30 a.m. wind hauled again
to the north-west ; in ail sail ; at noon moderate
breezes and cloudy ; heavy swell from south-south-
west. Latitude, by observation, 44 deg. 50 min. N.;
longitude, 36 deg. 14 min. west. Distance run, 276
miles. Sandy Hook bore south 81 deg. 30 min.
west ; distant 1,684 miles. Average revolutions of
the paddles, 10; of the screw 36, with 20 pounds
of steam. Consumption of coal, 266 tons. At 1
p.m. passed a British barque bound west, and ex-
changed colours with her. At 3 p.m. wind hauled to
north-north-west, set forestaysail and trysails. At 6
p.m. veered back to the westward, in all sail. Heavy
leaden-coloured clouds to the west, with increasing
breeze. At 8 p.m. cloudy, with moderate breeze.
SATURDAY, JUNE 23.
Commenced with cloudy weather, and light wind
from the north-west. At 8 a.m. shifted to southward
and eastward, but too light to be serviceable. At
noon cloudy and calm. Ship ran into the Gulf
Stream this morning, having steered well south to
avoid meeting ice on the banks. Too cloudy for
_ob-
servation ; latitude by reduction to the meridian,
deg. 50 min. north; long. 42 deg. 16 min' west;
distance run 301 miles; paddle engines have alv:irnaifte
101 revolutions, and the screw 351 perof fuel
steam gauge marking2olb., and consumption
265 tons. Set foresail and andfore
towards ail, wind too
light to make them draw well, even-
ing again hauled ahead and blew freshly from the
westward all night.
With this pressure and num_
ber of revolutions the ship ran by the log 14 and
141 knots.

SUNDAY, JUNE 24.
Strong breezes from the north-west veering to
the north. Set fore and aft canvas ; at 6 a.m. ex-
changed colours with all American liner bound

RECEPTION OF THE SHIP IN NEW YORK.
As the morning advanced, the haze cleared away,
the sun came out with a blue sky, such as America
and Italy only can boast. Not a breath of air ruffled
the surface of the water, and the ship lay motion-
less some mile from the light ship. She was sur-
rounded by outward-bound vessels, which lay be-
calmed around, with their colours hoisted in her
honour. Our presence was known in New York by
10 a.m., and two tugs and small passenger steamers
immediately started, crowded with passengers, to
come and have a look at the ship. By 11 o'clock they
commenced coming alongside, and from that time
until our arrival in New York the scene was one of
vociferous cheering and dipping of ensigns on
the part of our warm-hearted and enthusiastic
" American cousins," and of hearty but inefficient
attempts on the part of those on board to respond
to their hearty welcome. About 1.30 p.m. the
steamtug Achilles arrived, bringing the secretary
of the company, Mr. Yates, the consignees of the
ship, Messrs. Grinnell and Murturn, and the repre-
sentatives of the New York press. About two
steam was got up, and under the able charge of Mr.
Murphy, the New York pilot, safely crossed the bar,
and proceededonward towards the noble bay of New
York, surrounded by a flotilla of steamers, all
crowded with passengers, whose spontaneous bursts
of enthusiasm bore testimonylto their astonishment
and delight. The great ship in her passage up was
constantly met by these crowded steamers, all of
which after paying their tribute of cheers, and re-
ceiving those in return of the passengers and guests
on board, rounded to in the ship's wake and
followed her, like a flock of white cyg-
nets in the rear of a huge black swan.
The scene on approaching the Narrows was truly
magnificent. The immense flotilla escort, crowded
with people, and decorated with flags ; and the
noble bay, which could now be seen covered with
white-sailed yachts and steamers, all crowding in
the direction of the ship, formed a tableau which
for picturesque beauty could not be surpassed.
Just outside the Narrows the Great Eastern fired a
salute from her 18. pounders to the American sag.
This compliment was almost immediately re-
sponded to by a splendid little United States re-
venue steamer, the Harriet Lane. At 3.45 we
arrived abreast of Fort Lafayette, in the Narrows,
from which another grand salute was fired. This
was not returned until we had fairly entered the
bay, when the sleeping echoes of Staten Island
and the opposite shore were awakened by the
deep-toned thunder of our guns. From this
point to the dock selected for mooring
the Great Eastern, in the North river, off Ham-
mond-street, the scene was a perfect ovation.
Hundreds of small craft shot out from both shores
and fell into the cortege which followed her—a
huge fan composed of vessels of all classes and sizes,
from the noble river steamer to a sailing wherry.
When the battery was reached it was found to be
so densely packed with human beings that no por-
tion of the ample park-like space could be distin-
guished. Spectators clung to the tops and rigging
of the shipping at the wharves like swarming bees.
From every steamer in port, either British or
American, salutes were fired. Gun after gun
blazed away so thick and fast, that we were fain to
content ourselves with dipping our colours, and
give up all hope of being able to make a return in
kind.
Arrived at the place selected for her stay in New
York, some little difficulty was experienced in
getting the ship's head turned against the strong
flood-tide down stream. This was eventually
effected, however, and she was run alongside her
dock with very little more difficulty than above-
bridge on the Thames. The run of the Great
Eastern down the Thames on her first trial pro-
duced an amount of enthusiasm very seldom wit-
nessed in England, but the scene was tame com-
pared with that which awaited her at New, York.
If the rush to view her more nearly bears any pro-
portion to that made to see her entrance into Neal
r
York, the Great Ship Company
