This Association has been formed to consolidate and improve the Savings -Bank system ; to offer better interest than has hitherto been allowed ; facilities for nn , imited deposit; moans of convenient Withdrawal, and perfect security to the Depositor. The unpopularity of the present system, its acknowledged inse curity to Depositors, expense of management, and low rate of in terest, are universally acknowledged : whils in strong contrast are presented the advantages of the new system of the National Savings- Association. The proof of the necessity which exists for this Association will be found in thefact that there are no less than 483 places, with more than 3,000 inhabitants each, that have not a Savings-Bank ; so partial in operation is the present system. The Directors propose to supply this deficiency by the gradual estab ishment of branches ; also to keep at the Head Office a dupli cate of every account in the country ; to strike the balance at the Head Office every June and December, from the weekly retains pf the branches of the Association ; and to exb;bit the numbers of each pass-book, with the balance due, as ascertained by such return•, every June and December in each Branch Bank. After July, 1867 they will cause returns of the Association, duly certified by the Audi tors, to be made in January and July, and a copy to be sent to every Shareholder. The Directors expect that the National Savings-Bank Associa tion will be able to pay its shareholders a large dividend on all c Ash paid up on shares. 11110.mr.

NIB FRENCH POLITICAL PRISONERS AT CAYENNE. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. Sin;--In February, 1855, I received a letter that was signed as follows :—"Fassiliez, a political prisoner trans ported in June, 1848, and who has now been working for 14 months, like many others among his fellow-suf ferers, under a chain of 401 b, in weight, with a cannon ball at the end of it." In that letter, dated St. Joseph, Island of Despair, September, 1854, the gratuitous and unheard of acts of barbarity were stated which are inflicted at Cayenne upon men belonging to all classes of society—artists, tradesmen, workmen, barristers, physicians, farmers, journalists, scholars—these men having been violently driven out of their country, not in consequence of any lawful judgment, but by the mere impulse of political passions. I was requested to. lay before the civilised world the heartrending details, which I did as far as my power went. Since that period no change whatever appears to have taken place in the situation of these unfortunate people, who are subjected to forced labour (travaux forces) on a lonely, rock, surrounded by the sea, at a distance of about 6,000 miles from their native land. Six months ago a second letter was forwarded to me relating what follows " Every ship that comes from the pestilential shores of 'Cayenne brings the death of a new victim. The latest victim is Peret, some time major of Beziers, a most generous-hearted man, feeling acutely, while he was rich, that many of his fellow creatures were perish. ing of hunger, and ready to spare neither his fortune nor his life to the cause of7humanity. Having been deported to Cayenne, without trial, for resisting .the coup d'etat of the 2d of December, be attempted, with six fellow-prisoners. to escape from that living tomb. They put to sea at night in a boat. Two hours after they were driven on the rocks. Peret, entangled, in his cloak, was drowned. The six others survived. But what an existence For two days they lived on what shell-fish they could find on a desolate rock in the midst of the ocean that threatened every moment to overwhelm them. At last one of them resolved to risk his life for the rest. Seeing no succour come, he threw himself into the sea, and after three hours' swimming, reached the laud. Unhappily the land was French Guiana. He could only save his life on condition of surrendering himself a prisoner. His five companions were rescued from the devouring sea only to be cast into another dungeon-- tomb for tomb." Now, sir, here is a third letter which has just reached me:— To M. Louis Blanc those deported to Cayenne, with urgent request to make public this appeal : " Those deported to French Guiana raake an appea, to the feelings of justice and humanity of all honest men, to whatever party they may belong. " At the very moment when so much is spoken in France of clemency and generosity, while so many fami lies aro lulling themselves with the hopo of clasping to their hearts the dear ones whose absence they have so long lamented, the politicci victims are treated in French Guiana in a mauler worthy of the darkest ages Of bar barity. " it is certainly a painful task to unveil such an cc count of iniquity; but how is it possible t.' pass over in silence the unjust and cruel behaviour of French officers towards their fellow countrymen ? Let it be knows, therefore, that we are unspeakably tortured on the flimsiest pretences, while people, deceived by the solemn declarations of the French Government, think perhaps that every prison is open and that we are at liberty. Let it be known, for instance, that of five men lately arrested for some talk it had been the fancy of an overseer to invent, two were tied to a stake and dealt with as the most vile criminals. 01 their being reluctant to submit to an ignominious punishment soldiers were allied for, who, rushing upon the victims, bruised them with bl ows , t ore o ff th e i r b ear d s, and reck less of shrieks with which the wild beasts would have been moved, bound them with cords so fast as to make the blood gush. "To relate all we suffer is mere than we can possibly do. Our cheeks kindle with shame, and our hearts are bleeding. Suffice it to say that while the French G.)- vernment has its clemency cried up everywhere, there are Frenchmen in Guiana who do ga'p for life. Nor are they allowd the sojourn of the Island of Despair, horri ble as it is ; barbarous administrators drag them vio lently on the continent, to compel them to a labour of 8 hours a-day in the marshy forests, from which pestilen tial vapours are continually ri,ing. " We refused to submit to this outrage upon laws, to this murderous attempt; we claimed promised liberty ; the answer is ' death ! '--a magnanimous answer, after the birth of a prince ! "Is there indeed for us any other prospect but immi nent death ? With no proper food, no garments, no shoes, no, wine since February last, is there any chance that we should long be able to bear both the influence of an exhausting toil and a deadly climate ? Again, where is the law 'which assimilates political postscripts to galley slaves? From beneath the brutal force that weighs upon us, heaped up together, almost breathless, but strengthened by the courage we draw from the sa credne3s of our cause and our hope in the triumph of justice, we protest against the violence which is offered to us.

These are the lines, Sir, the insertion of whichin your columns I earnestly request, not as a Republican—not ; even as a Frenchman—but as a man ; for this is not a question of poli:ical feeling ; it is one of simple justit e and humanity. Let it be carefully remembered that the tortured victims are men who have never been tried by any lawful court, nor prosecuted by any form of law. It lies in your power, Sir—as I said on a similar occasion —that the groan they utter from the place ware they are, so to speak, buried alive, should be heard in the world of the living. The French press is gagged, and whoever has recently resided in France must of neces sity know—as stated in a letter addressed by Mr. Ay touts to the most influential paper in this country— " that when the press is controlled by an arbitrary Go vernment, every species of injustice, jobbing and oppres sion may be perpetrated, uncommented upon, and even unknown to the great majority of the population. Such being the case in France, the liberty of the English press remains the only possible resort for the oppressed to have the justice of their complaints at least examined. I apply, therefore, to the English press, and that all the more confidently since I read in the Times a few days ago—" The press is emphatically the representative of the people. If wisely directed it guards the interests of all classes and conditions of society, and has a right in turn to the support and assistance of all." I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, Aug. 23.

IMPROVEMENTS AT HOLYBOOD PALACE.—The u3nal arrangements are being made at Holyrood for her Ma jesty's reception there on her northern journey, and vari ous improvements are being made both inside and out side the Palace. The Throne-room has been decorated with a new ceiling of the style of the 16th century, ex hibiting various heraldic devices, and with the Imperial at-ms emblazoned on the centre panel. In front of the Palace a broad carriage drive has been opened, extend ing from the Abbeyhill to the Queen's Park, forming a great improvement to the appearance of this ancient structure, and a great facility f or p u blic assemblag es in. the Park, which was formerly only accessible by narrow entrances. The opening of a new line of road, com municatin g in a direct line between the Palace and Princes - street, has also been proposed. At the east end of the Queen's-drive, near the royal station, a n important improvement has been effected in the cut ' ti,og off an abrupt turn in the road. ... ~~ ~ •a'+,,. • We add some further particulars relative to the doings on the moors.

"An Old Sportsman" writes as follows :---" A tenant for the last fifteen years of moors in the north of Scotland, I venture to address, through the medium of your paper, both the landlords and tenants of shootings. The oldest gamekeeper liv ing never knew so bad a grouse season as this. Last season, the severe spring of 1855 and frostbitten state of the heather upon the higher grounds, drove vast quantities of birds down to the lower moors, when gentlemen who occupied such grounds had unexpected good sport. But now the stock from whence they had their supply is exhausted, and from my own experience of one of the finest and most extensive high moors in Ross-shire, I can assure you, in the deer forests and mosses not one brood exist i now, where in 1854 twenty could be found, and daily I see the few remaining old birds dying of disease. Whence, I ask landlords and tenants, can the breeding stock come from, if shoot ing be continued during the present Season ? I know that it does not suit parties in the north to acknowledge a scarcity of game, but as the truth must eventually come out, surely it is more politic for both landlords and tenants now to admit the undoubted failure of their crop—for the former im mediately to remit half their rents, for the latter (if sportsmen who hope again to enjoy the charms of a well stocked moor) to abstain from killing the few remaining denizens of the heather, when met by their landlords in a fair and liberal spirit.

Yesterday, at the usual sitting of the borough magiss trates, Marianne Merriton, a young woman of respect. able appearance and lady-like demeanour, was charged with assaulting Lieutenant Augustus Lewis, of the Ist Jager corps of the German Legion, now encamped in the neighbourhood of this town. Mr. .Abell appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Jones for the defendant. Augustus Lewis, the complainant, whose face bore proofs of some sharp finger-nails having been recently over it, on being sworn, said he was a lieutenant in the Ist Regiment of the German Jager Corps. He was walking through Head-street with the Quartermaster, George Burden, when the defendant, whom he had ecea several times previously, in the town, rushed upon him and said, " I've caught you at last with your —." He was then walking with a young woman, and the defen dant scratched him in the face. He turned round sud dente, his back being towards her in the first instance, and in cmsequence of the, continuance of hei violent conduct he gave her into custody. He gave her no rea son whatever for the assault which she committed. He followed her to the police-station. She talked loudly all the way, but he did not know what rho said. Cross-examined—He did nut know the name of the female who was with him, but she was called Louise. He did not attempt to strike the defendant with the stick which he had iu his hand. He did not push ber nor strike her. Had known the defendant for about two and a half or three years. When he first-knew her, her name was Merite n , b u t s h e now somet i mes went by the name of Lewis. Mad written to her many times in that name, but she was not his wife. Had said she was his wife, but had not introduced her as such to any other society than that of a few of his brother officers. Had not represented her as his wife to the army authorities, nor to his agents and bankers. She was living with her parents at 'Woolv.'ick when he first knew her, and she left home to live with him. She followed him to Tur key, where he was obliged to receive her ; and she also followed him to Heligoland. She did not return with him in the transport. The only reason she was not allowed on board was because she was not his wife. She, however, came home in a Government transport. He never went through any form with her, purporting to be a marriage ceremony. He declined answering as to whether he had refused to make any al lowance to the defendant. "Have you not charged her with a felony since you have been in Colchester, for which you have not a shadow of foundation ?" " I have charged her with felony, which I swear she has committed on me. I charged her with stealing a watch, chain, and cross. The chain and cross she f mer y gave me. I have not admitted, since I pre ferred the charge, that the chain and cross are is my possession. I have not said that I would see her bet re she had the chain and cross."—" What were your reasons for not going on with the charge of felony ?" Complainant at first declined to answer. The Cilia raid it was a fair question ; and the com plainant gave as his reason for not proceeding that there was su much trouble in attending to make affidavits before the magistrates. • Mr. Jones then addressed the Bench for the dee: dint. That punishment was inflicted upon the complainant beyond what this unfortunate woman intended, he was not there to deny ; but he submitted that she was justi fied in doing that which led to the a,ssaat complained of. It was not clear that she contemplated any per sonal injury whatever, though her intention was .to rake hod of him, uhicit she did, w h en t h ese scratc h es were inflicted on his face. Whi!e in Hcl.goland, the marriage ceremony was performed iii ace )rdance with the tenets of the Lutheran Church, but which,. h) understood, was more like the Border marriages of Scotland than anything else, and was merely a civil contract entered into between the parties before a public notary, and not a religious:service. Acting upon that observance, he had passed her off from place to place as his wife, and introduced her into m isarespect able society. Thus things went on till they arrived in Englan , l, when he hired lodgings for her at Sandgate, and she was shown as Mrs. Lewis. Whilst here Ids financial affairs were in a very reduced condition, and, at his request, this young woman borrowed for him 301. from an aunt, not one farthing of which had been repaid. After a short time they arrived in Colchester, and then the complainant thought proper to break off this ac quaintance by charging her whom he had ruined, and taken from her friends, her whom he had left without a single creature to assist her with money or advice, with the commission of a felony. When the bench considered that the complainant had first seduced this young woman, then deserted her, and in her d-grale.i, ruined state, bad charged her with felony, they wou'cl see a provoca tion strongly to exonerate her from any blame which misfit rest upon her for having incautiously scratched this man's face. Louisa Bollingbrook, servant to Mrs. Osborne, said saw the complainant walking with Maria Maur, a girl of loose character, on the night in question. When the defendant went over to him, he struck her on the face with a stick before she scratched his face. The magistrates having consulted, The mayor said the inquiry had been one of a most painful character to the Court. Taking into considers• tion all Vie circumstances and the provocation and un kindness the young woman had experienced at the hands of the complainant, they could not do otherwise than dismiss the com,il.int, which they did with the motot perfect disgust. The decision of the Court was received with a bunt of applause, which was with difficulty suppressed. RUE RIFE PIRATES. The Pays of Paris says that as soon as the Russian Government heard of the attack of tho Riff pirates upon Prince Adalbert,lof Prussia, it offered to take part in an expedition to cliasti. , e them. Russia proposes to furnish a flotilla of two frigates and two corvettes. These ves sels, fully armed, are now lying at Croastadt ready to put to sea. They purpose, it is said, to join the Prussian squadron now assembling at Stralsund, and which is to go out of harbour the beginning of next month. The Patric objects that it will be very difficult for the expedition to propose any definite object to be accom plished. The Riffs, it says, are rather wreckers than pirates. They have no ships, at least no decked vessels. What, therefore, can a squadron do against them 7 The Riffs do not expose themselves to danger at sea. The expeditionary squadron can only send a landing party to march over sandy plains against impenetrable rocks, through a district where they would not find a single position to be taken or a village to be occupied. The Patric therefore thinks, being doubtless guided in its opinion by a jealousy of joint operation by Prussia and England, that the best course would be to address a re monstrance to the Emperor of Morocco, whose authority the Riff tribes ostensibly recognise. These remon. strances might, it says, be supported by tcserious de monstrations," in respect of which the " powers hate• rested" would come to a previous agreement. In sup. port of this view, another edition of the Patric observes that the naval force of Prussia is much more than suffi. cient for all that can be done by sea against the pirates that if the aid of England is invoked, it can only be with the object of obtaining a marked satisfaction from Mo. MCC°. DESTRUCTION OF WEEDS IN IRELAND.—On this sub ject the Office of National Education at Dublin has issued the following letter : "Office of National Education, Aug. 21. " Sir,—We have had the honour of laying before the Commissioners of National Education your letters of the 10th of July and the 18th instant, relative to the great importance of the destruction of weeds along the sides of highways. We are directed to state, in reply, that the commissioners cordially approve of the suggestion y ou have made, that the children attending the National schools should be instructed by their respective teachers as to the necessity of destroying all weeds found on the farms of their parents, or on the highway adjacent thereto. The commissioners will therefore have much satisfaction in pointing out to their inspectors the steps necessary to be taken for carrying your suggestion into elfeet.'!
