A despatch from Lord Cowley, the British Minister in Paris, to Lord Clarendon, was communicated to both hewses. The despatch was written in consequence of the Wesolutions adopted by the Commons, imputing blame to ‘the Palmerston cabinet in not replying to the note from fhe French government. Lord Cowley states that although ne formal reply was sent to Count Walewski, he fully ex. plained to the French authorities the sentiments of the Brkish government, and their views and intentions, in a manner likely to prove far more satisfactory than an official answer could have been, What these views were Merd Cowley thus explains in his note:— “] have now your lordsbip’s lettor before me, in which, while vindicating im languaye worthy your lordstup’s same, the rigbtof asylum which Great Britain has ever afforde to strangers of all ranks and nations, and while @eelaring tn terms as explicit a» they are determined, the Imporsivility of infringicg on that great ortaciple of our tion, youshow how ulterly ineuilicient must any enactment de to prevent men of desperate mints trom tering upon desperate undertakings.

That vote, he said, bad led them to the conclu- sion uhat the ouly course they could pursue, with a due regard to their own honor and the respect duo to tho House, was to tender their resignations to her Majesty, who bad been plesed to accept» om, and they held office only until their successors were appointed.

Mr. Disraeli bad issued bis address to the electors of Bucks, offering himself for the fifth time for re election. ‘The fol!ow.ng passage occurs in the addresa:— “The circumstances of the country are in many respects critical, and in none more so than in its external relations. Vainfui misconceptions have arisen with the government of toat iaithful and powerful ally, who in so many in- ftapees bas proved bis good feeling and fielity to this country.

Whalebono— Quctatious nominal Burton's Theatre, Phe Coup d'Rtat,” ‘The representation of historical personages and events upon tho stage is always a delicate and diffcalt task, id requires rare dramatic talent and tact to be suecens- ful The t/usion £0 tial to the complotenoss of the effect i4 lot when Alexancer the Great or Napoloon in presented to ‘sudivnce in tho persona of Mr. Smithers or Mr. Jones, who are usually cast for the heavy old men, and Washirgton is robved of all his glory to our eyes as be stalks upon the stage clad tn the tralitional knee breecber aad cocked hat, and talking fuetian to the six supernumeraries whom the audience by vid stretch of the unngination mast suppose to be the revolu tionary army.

THE ARRESY OF AN ALLEGED ACCOMPLICE. Jacob I. Mott, a broker doing business in Front street, and a resident of No. (6 West Thirty seventh street, was taken into custody on Tuesday night at his residence, as above, on cbarge of having been connected with Brother- son in the fraud. Upon an exainiuation of tho books of the bank it was discovered false entries had beon made in the ledger in favor of Mott, and that ho had overdrawn his account to the extent of about $45,000. The manner in which tho fraud was committed wis similar to that adopted by MoGuokin, the paying teller of tho Ovean Bank, some years ago. Whea Mott would make a deposit of $100 Protherson wonid ex- tend the entry and make it $1,000, In thia way the bank has been defrvuded out of tens of thousands of dollars in the course of a few yesra. Mott was brought before the Mayor yesterday, and charged with being an accomplico of the fugitive bookkeeper, Mr. Arthur, the caghier of the Union Bank, appeared as complainant against the prisoner, and begged thas he should not be permitted to go at large upon bail until the matter of the frand had been move fuily investigated. Mayor Tiemann pro- mised (o accede to the request, and consequently the ao- cused war kept in close cusiety all day. Mott isa maa of very respectable connections, and has always opjoyed the reputation of being weathy. He professed his entire innocence of the charge preferred against him, and said that if he was indebted to the bank to an amount no mat. ter how much, he would indemnify the institution and make good his credit x the oftlcers of the bank. He recently a lovely and accomplished lady, and lived in fino style aizce his wedding. Mott was formorly engaged with his brother in the jewelry business, but failed, and thea turned his attention to stock broking in Wall street, THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE FRAUD. Of Brotherson’s debut in tho game of dishonosty but little has been ascertained, Somo aro inclined to date it back ns far as 1648, but the investigation by the officers of the benk affords no proofs of his operations having extended so far back. Certain it is, however, that false entries were made as far back as 1854, and since that period no lene eum than $148,000 has been abstracted. His mode of operations was eo skilful that whea re organizing under the General Banking law, in December last, the bank di vied a surplus of $264,197 among the stockholders with- out discovering the frand. A surplus of forty per cent was divided, when, if the directors only knew the real state of affairs, they would have been unable to declare evon five per cent. It was a lucky thing for the stockholders that the fraud was not discovered earlier. If Brotherson bad been detected im November instead of March, the stockholders would have found that their “German flute had come to a penny whiatie,”’ and they woul! have been obliged to content themeclves with a mere nothing in com- Farison with the fat dividend which they received. THE DETECTIVE'S DISCOVERY. When do‘ective policeman Joreph Keefe iirat discovered that Brotherton was a defaulter somo six weoks ago, ho communicated his suspicions to the prosiient and cashier of the bavk, but the latter would hardly listen to the warping of the taformant. The suspected party had been im thelr employment since be was @ mere child, he had worked himself up fram the loweet station in tho bank to the position of head bookkeeper, and hal alwayn borne an excellent character. For over \¢enty years he nat enjoyed their con‘idence and esveem. Why shonld they wuspect him of dishonesty at this Inte hour? Ub, wo: they could not believe the suspicion possible Notwithstanding the apparent apathy with which the officer: of the bank treated the ease Mr. Keaie determized not vo let the matter rest, He qtill kept track of the defaaiter fol- lowed him every afternoon from Wail street to various gambling saloors in (he lower part of the city, w ineeeod bis extravagact piay at faro, noted dowa ewn and overy amount osi wnd nit thea presente’ his exes once mery © the President and cashier of the bank = Th» second attempt to arouse the oiflcers of the bank to a true tense of the danger proved equaliy u# abortive as the tirat The deetestive endoavore! tw aasiro them that a man with a ealary of scarce $2,000 per year could uot conve- aiently spend two or three bun‘red dollare « nigat at tho gaming table, but in vain. They would not ako any im mediate steps in phe matter, bat suggested tho propricty of further delay. Finding that it wasa uroless task to hold sy further communication with them, Koofo Jo termined to speak w some of tho directors about the matter. He explained t thom his rea sous for being so urgent im tho caso, ani advised an immediate investigation of the aifairs of the bank to be made. This wason Saturday. The directors and officers, apon taking the bint and upon examining the ledger of the suspected bookkeeper, were astounded to find tata most extensive fraud had been going on for years. They were forced at last to believe in the state. mente of the detective, and decided \ haye their dix honest employ ® taken ini custody. BROTHRASON'H FLIGHT PROM THR PANE. Tt was arranged that the arrest of the de.aulter should take place on Monday. The detective was oppore!t to such delay, but the officers of the bank thought that it would be entirely unnecessary to push m. tors, ar. | ac. cordingly Mr. Keefe was desired to call at the bank at J o'clock on Monday, when it was decied tho arrest should take place. At 254 o'clock on Monday afternoon, tho detective, in company With Mr. Brevourt, of the General Superintendent's office, proceeded to Wall stroot and made hie appearance at thé bauk agreeable to arrangs- ment, What was tho surprise 0,” Mr. Keefe, when on his arrival there be learned that Brou.erton had Cocamped from the bank rome three hours prev: “Sly!

Tho bird had tlowa come distanc ang his pursuers atarted on his track, aod (3 no doubt by tha time ina place of comparative safety. The residence ag the accused, in Thirty-second street, was searched, bat no trace of his whereabouts gould be diecovered. The pollog imagine that Brotherson must have sailed for California,’ Tf that be the cage, then it la not likely that he will ever be arrested, for the officers of the bank do not aaem in- clined to spend any money in effecting hia captars, They do not suppore that Brotherson has any fands worth while Mmectioning in his possession, and hence they conshier tho goore to be hardly worth plucking. The fexthors havo been ecaltored far and wide ere now. If they wonld took for the money that bas been stolen, they must seek for | in the numerous gambling bella which infest our city, an’ not in the possession of tho unfortunate and prebably penniless fugitive defaulter. Brotherson is a man about 37 years of age. Ho has m Wifo and one child living im Thirty second street, whic ® he resided in « plain and unostentations style. Ho is very respestably courected, and has rolatives of woulth and influence residing in this city OTHERS SUTPORKD TO BR IMPLICATED. It is supposed that there are other parties implicated with Brotherson—porrons who urged him t the commis- sion of the fraude, and afterwards powseased themue! of the wealth thus dishouestly obtained. Such is the belief of the potice, who are taking moasures to sacure the sus- pected indtviduats before they imitate the example of tho principal in the fraud, and seek safety ia tight. A full and careful investigation of the affairs 0” tho Union Bank, in connection with the frauds practised by tho head bookkeeper, will show a state of things traly staftling.
