V.l G The value of the Press is inestimable, and «•e never conteMplate the operations of this all-pow - fill engine without feeling more than common gra tification if we see them directed to works of hu:- manity. To this general sentiment we sornetimcs superadd a, still More pleasing emotion, ,when„ ue are enabled to -trace a portion of the original pulse, in the cause of our' ;Conntry.and Fellow creatures to our own peculiar exertions. It is in this doubly agreeable point of view that we resume the notice of the subject of SAVINGS BANKS, and again press its beneficent .and merciful consideration on the minds of the Good and Great. While we take honest pride in claiming for THE SUN the distinc tion of having led the way to the agitation of this important question, through the so universally diffused medium of the periodical Press, it would he unjust and injurious not to record the cordial co-operation and support which we have received from our Contemporaries. Among the London Journals, the Morning Post and Times have lent their extensive circulation and efficient aid to pro mote the establishment of these invaluable Insti tutions; and we have observed, with real delight, that the provincial Papers have not bt;e❑ tardy in taking or this. henevoleOt deSign. - Frmm several of these we have copied remarks worthy of at- teution into THE Swig, and shall continue so to do till we can congratulate our Readers on having procured the general adoption of such noble Mo ral Charities (where industry is its own teward, and n►endicity is checked, it ❑ot rooted out, by prudence) throughout the Empire. The follow ing is extracted front the Times of yesterday " It is to this point We now turn our steadiest attention ; for tl►e civilized world has been lout? enough visited with Wars by the prevalence Of wicked men► .ind wicked principles. England, as well as every ()tiler nation, needs' opportunity to look into her private interests, to cu►tivate her domestic more.ls, to pur,sue• with calmness and de liberation the proper works of - peace. One great . and beneficial measure of this kind we hasten to notice, Jilt: institution ofSavings panics, than which we know of no better means to counteract the in fluence (If those daily temptations, by which, the morals of the lower classes of society in this coun try are assailed. Such a plan will strike at the m o t of those three giant evils'of the metropolis, the gin-shop, the pawnoroker's shop, and the lot tery-office. The labottring man or the carefid ser vant, who feels an honest peide in accumulating his hard-earned gains, will not rashly be led to risk them in the delosi ye and unequal g a me of the lottery; he will not have occasion to pledge'his own or his employer's property at the pawnbroker's for a mo mentary indulgence, and he will acquire habits of self-command, the - best preservative against the temptatinns of intoxication. By the Saviizgs Valdes every man who can save a shilling in the week, is enabled to deposit it safely, and to receive inte rest for whatever sum he deposits, without being under any necessity of forfeiting for disconti nuance. The *Edilibtirgli Society was the first . regular establishment of this kind. It has been . conducted with great judgment, attention, and perseverance, and is going on with increasing prosperity ; the deposits are constantly increasing, and the interest allowed on the deposits, which was at.first 41. per cent. is already 51. A similar institution has been established at Bath ; and another has lately been set on foot at 'Southan►p ton. To.botli the latter Mr. Rose has afforded the assistance of his talents and support. It is a circumstance in which the poorer classes of so ciety in England ►ere peculiarly happy, that their interests are„ constantly and zealously studied by great numbers of their wealthier neighbours, and by those who, by superior education and attain ments are best calculated to be their advisers and proteettirs." * The Ituthren Bank has the honour of precedence. The French Ministers wonlil have the •world believv, that the Journals are now free in France to publish every thing ;. to this end they have sup pressed the commission of Censorship, and at t., bed to every Journal a responsible Censor ; the Journals have been ordered to annonneethe sup pression of the Committee, but they hilve been forbidden to say that it has been replacer( by private Censors. General LAMMIQUE, who commanded in. La Vendee against LA ROCI-I J A CQU ELIN has, it is said, sent aXemorial to the KING, containing the most curious rercletions relative to DAvousr,;iud CARNOT, Ministers of War and of the Interior to BUONAPARTE, daring his last usurpation. DA VOUST, he says, sent him instructions to burn and . destroy every village iu La Vendee ; and CARN6T supported this system of cruelty and de vastation. A work on the subject of political economy has lately been published at St. PeterSbnrg, - which .ably attacks the system of prematurely forcing the Manufacturing industry of nations by the prohi bition of foreign commodities, and inculcates the benefits resulting from the unrestrained intercourse of nations. In regard to Russia the author main tains, that the most advantageous system for that empire would he to devote itself to agriculture, and the raising of the raw materials which are t h e produce of. its soil, while it received from other nations the supply of manufactures necessary to its wants. He recommends also, that no prefe rence should be gi‘...m to Russia shipping, but that the ships of all nations should he allowed freely to import their own commodities, and export the, produce of Russia. A letter from Dublin, dated Dec. 16, says " We have had no less than seven Attornics, and eight other persons, respectable in public credit till now, sentenced to transportation, being con victed before a Special Commission of 111441 turing and vending forfcd stanays."..

SOCIETY FOR THE; ENCOURAGEMENT OF ARTS, MANUFAC CURES, AND COMMERCE. At. the Meeting of thiS Society yesterday even ing, the death of the late President, his (roles the Duke of NoszEoLK, was, formally announced by the Setroarv---'when an order was given by the Vice-President in the Clmir (Dr. Powell), in com 'plianee with the wishes of the Merni,ers, " that 'on account of the recent death of the President, and to slew tie regard the Society entertain for the memory , of his Grace, who had, w : tlt the most sineere:attackment to the interests of the Institu tioa, presided over it upwards of twenty years, all business, except reading the Minutes of tire last Meeting the Housekeepers' Report, the names of persons proposed As Members, and the Correspon dence, be postponed till the 'next meeting of the Society." Dr. PowELL animadverted with great feeling on 'the lamented death of the-late President. He entered' with an enthusiastic zeal into the requi sites peculiarly marked the happy disposi tion of Lis Grace in that situation, and concluded a most energetic address, by recommending that a sound and perfect good understanding, in ar ranging the election of a successor, should prevail itythe Society. The Late Duke was elected President March 22, 1794. All arrangements relative to the election of a President stands over till after the Christmas recess.

As many paragraphs haVe appeared relative to the extensive robbery of the Newbury 11auli, con taining various mis-st,azenteuts, %ye have' availed, ourselves of obtaining, it ow an authentic souu•ce ) a cdrrect account attic facts, which we lay before our readers, as such as Inay be relied on. The Banking Office of Vinrent,Tanner, Barnes, and Hancock,is situate in the market-place at New:- bury, being a room taken from the White Hart The .property was lodged in a strong iron Chest, within a closet,'hulit 011 purpose, arched and st r engthena with a strong iron door, set in stone work ; the outer door was fastened with two - eery strong . potent locks, and an iron plate was passed over the key holes, and then fastened with a pad lock of peculiar construction.. 7n addition to the locks ofthe iron door, were twe) bolts thrnwn out • by a secret contrivance, and a secret spring to the lock, to prevent its going hack ; these were deemed a full seernity . r but as no one slept in the Bank, a watchman; whose nightly station was exactly 'opposite, was paid expressly by the bankers, for keeping a-vigilant eve on the (Mice. There is every reason to believe the villains have been a long time effecting their purposei - and rendezvoused in the neighbourhood, and contriv ed to enter the town after dark, and to take the. opportunities of the watchman going his rounds, 'first to examine, and then to rake impressions of the wards, so as to InanWacture skeleton keys, from the impressions obtained by inserting a piece of sheet iron of a proper size, on which was a composition of'paste. PearkS, the, officer, from Bow-street, states, that thevillains, after having effected an entrance, must have been in the 13anit at lerst tight several times, before they could have found out and fa cilitated the impediments of the locks and bolts of the iron plate and chest : , The property-was loCk- , ed up safe on Saturday.. night, by the partners, in presence of the clerk. On Monday morning,' when Mr. Barnes and Mr. Hancock went as usual to open the Bank, on attempting to unlock the iron chest, tire key met with so much resistance, they were under the necessity of sending for a smith to open it ; and on being forced, the Gentlemen were immediately 'alarmed on seeing some confusion in the chest ; and we leave the public to judge what their feelings must have been, when they found it had been robbed of nearly all the property deposited therein, on tire Saturday evenin L - consisting of 14,000 t. in their own notes, and a large sum in Bank of England and other notes, and 250 guineas. The taking away this property was done hastily, 'as they overlooked a parcel of 7001. in Bank notes, and also a parcel unopened of the bankers' own notes, which they bad received from London, the evening before, but deposited in the chest under some other papers. . • It is not true that the books ‘A ere taken away— a very small one only, called the lock-up book, which was always put into the chest with the pro perty, and which probably WFI 3 mixed with the notes. Some silver, to'a considerable amount', ia, the eloset,•was overlooked, and some undue bills On London, Bath, and Bristol, were left behind. The books, and every thing in the closet. and in the office, were left undisturbed, and all the bolts and locks were found fastened and uninjured, ex cept the lock of the iron chest. • We are happy to hear the Bankers have oh tained some clue to the real robbers, and that vi:. gilasit search and vigorous measures are pursuing, and we shall hope soon to find the thieves will be fully discovered. The state and confusion of the town can :better be conceived than expressed, but the Bankers have found it necessary to still mit to a Commission, in order to ,convince the public, that they are determined to call in every aid of property to satisfy every demand in full on them.; and it is a painful reflection, that in . a matter of such very serious consequence to the parties concerned, that the public mind should for a moment have been misled, in entertaining an unjust and, injurious suspicion in regard to this robbery, from the bare want of comprehension of the means by' which it was accomplished, though it may be recollected that a precise similar case not long since happened at .the Falmouth Bank, by the . same means, though, perhaps, not the sume adepts. A turnip was recently pulled on the ground of Mr. Shadrach Holice, of Boteherby, nee Carlige j which weighed 3911): including the top.
