'Fhe Case of Thompson, the Wall Street Bamker. AFFAIRS ELSEWHERE, &, &., &. THE EMBEZZLEMENT IN THE MECHANICS’ BANKING ASSOCIATION. APPEARANCE OF THE FRIGONER—THS GENGATION IN WaLL STREET. Wall street presented yesterday a scene of more excite ment, fever and panic, than on any day sine the present fmmancial crisis has afficted teat locality, The suspension @f the Mechanics’ Banking Association, and the house of ‘Beebeo & Oo., specie brokers, the ran upon the Hanrver ‘Bank, the Metropolitan and the Bank of Commerce, and the failure of several business houses, all reported yestor- day—iho particulars of which will be found in our mosey article—contributed to swell the tide of the anxious and alarmed crowd which throughout the whole day made Wall street the theatre of an unusual drama, ‘Buk the centre of the excitement was the office of the ‘Mechanics’ Banking Association, The announcement in ‘tmeo Huns yesterday morning that one of the clerks had been detected in embezzling to the amount of some geventy thousand dollars, created = deep sen- gation throughout the city; and when it was ‘announced that the bank had suspended business in con sequence of the defaloation, crowds began 0 assemble in freut of the building in Wall atreet, and continued to awell during the day. The inside of the baikiing was crowded, anda stream of people continued to flow in and out with- ‘oat cessation. ‘With regard to the alleged embezziemen', !t appears that some wuspicion had been entertained for a long time that something was going wrong in the bank, from the fact that a large deficit in the specie had been from time lo ‘tame observed. Suspielen rested upon Mr. Edwin Van Blarcom, the pay- ‘mg teller, a gentleman who had for a long time ocoupied shat position of truss On Monday evening « request was seat from the bank to Deputy Superintendent Carpenter, $0 detail a couple of offlcers fur special duty; and, accerd- togly, the Deputy, accompanied by officers Eider aad Mo- Oord, hastened 1 Wall street, where they found the cashier @f the Moohanics’ Banking Association and the telier ‘My. Van Blarcom, engaged in overhauling the booxs. ‘Thoy remained entside until about 11 P. M., whem ihey ‘were summoned, and Mr. Van Blarcom was given into thet cbarge, They at once removed him and kept him in Qhose custody for the night. Yesterday the prisoner was taken down to the baak in charge of the officers to await the desision of the Board of Btrecwors, whish held a long seasion for the purpose of !n weatigatihg the affair, and discovering, if prsibla, the amount of the defaloation and the best moans of dealiag ‘with the prisoner. During their session Mr. Van Slarcom sat in the passage beading from the bank to the directors’ room, and wat tne @bject of ai minute scrutiny by the crowd which lied tee the bank. He isan elderly man—probably about forty. eighi or Afty years; of age. Ho is small in simure, Slight, dark complexioned and slightly gray; wears Spectacles, and is very hard of hearing. He seemed restless and embarramed dartng the two or three hours be ecoupied bis unpleasant position, exposed to the public gaze. He rarely lifted his eyes from the ground execpt when one of the directors came out and entered tute conversation with him, with s view to obtain some information as to tho amount of the domlca ‘tom or the mode in which it was accomplished. It ls well known that in all such cases the directors of the baak are found to be profoundly ignorant of the doings of their em ployés, and when s defalcation occurs they are dependent ea the commnnicasions of the dofssiter not only for the ‘ohve bo the myetery of the wrong doing, but for the amoun of which ihey bave been defrauded. We learn that the Board of Directors separated yester- day without taking any steps to prosecute the delinquent. No charge baa been made against bim, though we under. ‘stand there ia no doubt that some seventy or eighty thou" wand dollars are ummocounted for. Mr. Van Blaroom is & man of family residing, in Bloccker sirret. His habits haye no\ been remarkably ex. twavagant; and the opinion seems to prevail that he has ‘eon the victim of stock jobbers and speculators, who have obtained conveniences from him, out of which he haa probably recotved little or no benefit. ‘Tho Mechanics’ Banking Association refased to redeom tts own notes for tho present; its bills, however, wore re cetved on deposit im the Mechanica’ and other banks. Stocks yesterday fel) considerably, and the monoy mar- 3et, sa & matter of course, was very stringent. The panio extended to other banking institutions besides the Moohanica’ Association, though tho ufanifestations in \betr neighborhood were not so apparent No oxtreordi- tary excitement was observable about the Metropolitan or Ranover banks; but a consderable crowd was assem ‘vied curing ® portion of the day round the Bank of Com meron. ‘The Shoe and Leather Bank refused to pay a obeck of Comptroiier Flagg, countersigned by tbe Mayor and Clork @ the Common Council, for $68 83. Tho Toller slated Abas they had no money. On the whole, an ill suppressed saxicty and restless ene wore dispayed in the neighborhood of Wall street, which indicated ® very unsettiod condition of financial affairs in the city.
