NATIONAL SAVING BINA: The principle of S tiring Banks is so generally understood, and their utility so universally Narrow. lodged, that there is tin occasion to exnut Ode there on ; and as their adrption in large towns and popahnts districts is become pretty gt seem', till that appears to be now requisite is, !orates'', tlwir benefit to smeller communities and 16 the country in ge nera/. The great difficulty under the present syst.m is, to raise a sufficient sum fur investment in a short time, which cannot he done %here the subscribers are few. And although, its some Counties, hanks have been established embracing One or inure hundreds, 3et some effective pl in seems to be still wonting, by which every individual its the country may be enabled to lry up his savings. it is not in all districts, that Noblemen or Gentlemen or property and respectumlity can be found, who will become prtrons and truster-am take upon themselves the trouble of tuunaging those Banks. _ _ Therefore, to obviate those difficulties. 1 beg leave to suggest, fur the con.itleiation of his Ma jesty's Government, the propriety of establishing a A'alional Bunk fur Savings. In very few Saving Batiks more than 4 per cent. interest is lretViVrd by the bula)crubers against the expenses are &flayed. Taking into account the price of the Funds, with this interest the parties are well satioged. The only objections which arise among the lower classes to investing their eini.ings in Saving Banks, are the vissihility of their out receiving, whets they withdraw their much as they put in, by reason of a fall in the price of Stocks; and their out und..rotonding clearly, tlutt they have Gore tttttt ent security for their property. as they look only to the gentlemen a-ho undertake the business. indeed, it is possible. nay probable, that if any great depreciation iu the price of the Stocks should, take place. it will occa.ion ainungst the raiimforiord (and of *hum the subscribers generally consisi), great disappointment and discontent. nod conse quent aversion to lay their ravings out in such Banks again ; which prejudice, if .e imbibed, will go a great way to knock up those establish- Meats altogether. If, therefore, Gover iiiii cot would allow the sub scribers 4 per rent. certain, owl insure the same swat in sterling to be urtursed that was incesled, it Would be a great benefit to the parties, a great en couragement to the *ruin, and, constituently, tend to promote the welfare and enhance the com forts of the lower orders—whilst it eased the bur dens of the middle and higher classes of society, suid,in the mid, conduced to the general prosperity of the United Kingdom. Nor do I crinceive it would be attended with any injury to the Revenue, liner, upon the aggregate, Government would gain, instead of lose, by any variation in the rate of iuterest, or fluctuation in the price of Funds. Oa the contrary, 1 am induced to believe, that it would eventually benefit considerably his Ma jesty's Revenue; and that it might be rendered productive, at the same time, of much good to the commerce, agriculture, manufactures, and re sources of the British Empire. Either by applying the oulticripiionv received, and which would amount to no inconsiderable sum annually (Its will appear by the large inviotiortuts already made by the trustees of the Saving Batiks established), to accelerate the operstiou of the Sink kg tied, or to ease the bunko of tuzalioo. is the first ease, it would undoubtedly . anzmesit the benefits which result to the Money Market. to the Stock-holder. and to Gover ttttt ent, from the Striking Fund; and it Would brial the period nearer, when our income would 'treed our expen diture—an extinction of debt would earlier lie ac complished—an annihilation of interest thereon sooner take place. and a relaxation ul taxation be more speedily realised. That a diminution of taxes would contriiinte to the improvement of emir commerce, agitcrilture, andmanufacturre, ev er y b o dy w ill a ll ow ; ar.d that the ttuprovenernt of those would increase oar ie louvres, nobody can deny; therefore, a we attain • Or, Postmaster of each %we, tf ttwu • !st Mr• .d. Outdo. THE BRITISH PRESS. those objects the 'sooner by means or u National Batik for Savings, of course it makes good my pro. position; although, if it be done by applying the sum so raised to the Sinking Fund us above, the benefit would be ►emote. But, in Ore second ease, if applied to the imene. dime reduction of taxes; for instance, if the Duty on Salt, Bert. or other article, which affects the poor and industrious, end, constituently, serves to keep up the price of labour, could be dispensed with, our coutmerce, agriculture, rod manufac tures, would feel the effects iustantaneously. There cannot be a quest' hut that the amounts subscribed would, fur many years to cisme, consi derably exceed the amounts drawn out. . los the course of time, perhaps, those will come nearer to the former; lo ft by that tithe, perhaps too, the Re. venue of the country will nut stand in treed of those aids to the extent it does at the present moment, and may fur a few next ensuing years. Indeed, it is snit likely that for tOe first fourteen years much of the interest, even On the MIMS (11111 would be taken rip by the parties, us the ob ject they have ire t iris is to accumulate a large sum for some future contingency, therefore, instead of being paid them, such interest might be placed to their credit as subscription fur the next year. 1 l u te 1111 doubt that the amount subscribed the Arst year, would amount nearly to the duty on salt, say a million and half sterling, us all the banks already established would be glad to transfer their funds, that the trustees mid committees might rid themselves of their trouble, responsinility, &c.; and every year after the amount would go on in creasing, from the extension, the facility of sub scribing. end certainty of Government secu?ity would occasion. Should his Mujesty's Government approve of the suggestion, the means of carrying it int I execution must next be devised.

An objection may by possibility Le started, that by this plan Government would be virtually con tracting loan*, or borrowing illusory, in time of pence, instead of railing the Supplies within th e year.

A general attempt to shake off the Britivh authority in India is unfortunately an occurrence so probable, that the intelligence Of it will hut realize the anti cipation of almost every thinking maii in the em pire. We tune such a reliance on the talents of the Goveritor•General, the skill of our officers, and the invincible bravely of our truopv, that, if huv tilities be really commenced, we enterviiii no appre hra►io►w for the resist' of the present campaign. But the contest is of a nature that must ever be renew ed, and every renewal must he more and more to our disadvantage. There is not a Prince in India who has nut suffered deg►adati. , u artd lon fru% the Britielt arm,. wha, therefore, door not punt for rf. vette. The influence of the Chiefs over the minds of the people in promoting one general object can. not doubted. While they contended separately against tit., they were at our mercy, but we have tan& them to confederate. It was an unfortunate coincidence that the hos. tile disposition of the Native Powers towards Great Britain should have displayed itself immediately on the appearance of the Marquis of HASTINGS iii Hindustan. His government, therefore, has bori.e thioughout a military aspec►, and he has been stantly employed during his administration either in actual war or in making military preparations. This circumstance, whether arising from extraneous events, or from the Noble Governor's own disposi tion, is much to be lamented, for its influence must be felt in every part of India; and it is certainly a mistaken policy that would seek to suppress a mar tial feeling in other States, by making a display of military power. We shall forbear from making further coininetits until we shall be enabled to pre sent our readers with intellgence in a more authen tic shape. . .

After the first 14 year, if the sums drawn out should amount to as much as the subscriptions de posited, the aeenuot v/001,1 stood as above stated; but should the latter exceed the firmer, the nation will go on deriving a bereft from► it, na proportion to suds excess. I have further to remark, tbat the price of the Funds will snake no difference to the Revenue on the receipts and payment boils being in money capital, Alice the amounts drums oUt would be paid by the subscriptiosis deposited, which would all be in sterling or money capital ; therefore, Go. 'eminent could pay the subscribers the seine amount in sterling money as they putt to, without sustaining the least loss—and with respect to the interest there would be all advantage, as sin loans h sve . ever been negotiated at so bad a tete of iii terest as 4 per cent. [laving thus stated what has occurred to me on a subject highly interesting to Bet British public, I have discharged la duty every member owes the society in which he live•, to Loy before it any thing which occurs to In o ►, that may tend to augsnent the comforts or adv: ;we the interests of his fellow citizens individually, and, at she some lime, in crease the resources and promote the prosperity of the continuality collectively. It remains with the Government and the Legis lature to consider of the proportion thus submitted to them—and should it appear on investigation that its adoption would be unleaded with the beneficial results herein a an d, it will be for the latter to sanction, and the former to carry the measure into execution.
