FRENCH ARMAMENTs.

The Paris correspondent Of the Morning
Herald says = EF
At the close of the italian war last year, 300
millions of francs had been expended out of
the 0 millions raised by loan. The govern
ment proclaimed with a great flourish of
trumpets, that the 200 remaining millions
would be employed in "giving an impulsen to
"commerce and manufacturers" Of that huge
sum eight millions sterling1 only 93OO, 900
is now left, and every farthing of it has been
expended on the army and navy; but especial
" on the navy, as Messrs. Arman andCo. of
Bordeaux, and other private ~shipbuilders, are
well aware. Two steam ANS have been
launched, and two more are on the stocks ;
100 gunboats are building at the works of L.
Seyne, near Toulon; of this number, some 20
have been already launched and fitted out
Moreover, 25 large steam transports, each able
to convey~2,O 600 troops for a long voyage, and
double that number for a short sea passage,
have been launched, and forty-fve more are to
be built, twenty Of which are on the stocks
In addition to this, every good anchorage on
the channel coast, from Dunkirk to Cherbourg,
is now commanded by batteries and earth
works, cleverly constructed in clefts of the
cliffs, and mounting from six to thirty guns.
The harbour of Fecamp, well known to New
castle golfers is being fortified; docks are be-
ing built there, and it is to be quietly and
noiselessly converted into military port of the
second class. Its situation is admirably adapt
ed fer a cruising station from whence Ports.
mouth may be watched. All the principal
ports on the coast are connected together by
the electric telegraph, and a gigantic plan is
about to be carried out to fortify the mouths
of the principal rivers. IF to these naval
preparations the cost of the new rifed artil-
lery is added, it is not difficult to account for
the 200 millions which the Italian war did not
consume. td7f @-4- JI

THE ARREST OF HI COUNT OF MoNTEMo-
LIN@The following details of the arrest of
Count de Montemolin and his brother are Civ
en- by the M~oUedadds:-
1.-TWO peasants, brothers, of the name of
Bower, made known to the Queens authorities
that the two Princes were secreted in the house
of a laborer named Gopdaya, in the village
of Ulldecona, near Tortosa and a strong de-
tachment of the civil guard was sent to arrest
them, the Bowers accompanying it. The de-
tachment reached the house at about two
o'clock at night, and the officer in command
having stationed his men nearit, called several
times to the persons inside to present them
selves. No one appeared, and some of the
guards were accordingly made to effect an en-
trance by the balcony. In one of the rooms
they found three persons ready dressed, not
w~ithstanding the late hour. On seeing the
guards, one of the three advanced, and said:
Gentlemen, we are at your disposal, I am
the Count de Montemolin; this gentleman is
my brother; and his is our confidential SER
want, We are ready to go wherever you
pleased The Princes were taken to the guard
house, and were supplied with chocolate. At
foaf O'clock, they were placed in a carriage
and conveyed to Tortosa, where they arrived
at eight O'Clock, and were lodged in the bar
racks of the engineers. They were treated
with all the respect due to their rank" as

THE DEFAGLTING CASHIER OF TEE
UNION BANK OF. LONDON.

The following report on the recent frauds of
their chief cashier has been issued, this eve
ming, by the Union Bank of London. 1t gives
a clear summary of the means employed, and
confirms the a~nt:cipations as to the degree of
loss Sustained theC total being 9263,000.-
William George Pullinger was appointed a
cashier Of this bank in April, 1889, having
previously held a similar situation in the bank
ing house, of Sir Claude Scott & Co., and, after
sixteen years Of most efficient, jealous, and 1T
is still believed, faithful service in subordinate
capacities, was, about Eve years ago, raised to
the situation Of chief cashier, and such was
the confidence reposed in him by the directors
and managers, and their satisfaction with the
manner in which he discharged his duties,
that about three months since they voluntarily
raised his salary to e600 per annum. IL :
His duties as chief cashier were to superin-
tend the other cashiers, to procure checks for
money, to keep their tills supplied, and it de-
volved upon him to pay all checks, gold and
silver coin, bank-notes, &c.,, which were not
required for the purposes of this bank, to the
Bank of England, accompanied by the docket,
specifying the particulars of each payment,
and by the "pass book" of the Bank of Eng
land, which was necessarily in his official
charge, and an account of these payments was
also furnished by Pullinger to the principal
ledger-keeper. In the ordinary course of bust
ness, Pullinger daily sent a junior clerk for
the pass book, which contained the acknowl-
edgment by the Bank of England of the
cash paid in, and it was the duty of Pullinger
to deliyerfthe> pass booklto the l~edger-keeper,
whose duty it would then become to check the
entries in it against the Bank of England by
the items in his ledger. The le~dger-keeper,
on finding his5acceunti tally with the pass book,
would report the Bank of England balance to
the accountant, to be- posted in the general
ledger, when any error in the Bank of Eng
land balance would disturb the general balance
of the day, and become the subject of investi-
CATION. - "
On Thursday last, the 10Th instant, in con-
sequence of some information, application was
made to the Bank of England for their state
ment of the balance of this bank, when a de-
felt of no less than e263,070 was discovered.
Pullinger, who was absent at the time attend
ing a funeral of a relative, was Immediately
followed by a director and a manager, and
brought back, when he at once confessed that,
from losses on the Stock-Exchange, he had,
from time to time, since his appointment as
chief cashier, distracted large sums from the
charges taken over to the Bank of England
which he had concealed from the ledger keep
.er by exhibiting ito him afabricated pass book,
in which the balance agreed, with what it ap-
peared IN the accountants general ledger
was then given into custody.-London
