Just as We anticipates a few days since. when writing; on the Agiljtd, the speech of Sit ROBERT ,PIEL, in reply to Mr. WVrsa't Education motion oil Friday night, in the rinse of Commons, has had the effect of rousing the bigoted sensibl'aties of the Irish Orange party, and filling them with the most sambre speculations respeethig the future ti;urse of policy that may be adopted by the Premier. The Dtttlin Evening Mail, which is the accredited 'organ of that meek and enlightened party, is quite furious on the subject, and discovers that the axe is already laid to the root of Protestantism, which must ere long fall in ruins to the earth. "The Protestant people of Ire land," says our Contemporary, "may for a moment doubt the evidence of their own senses, and hesitate to believe in the reality of their danger. But that moment's pause will seal their destruction. The power of Government will be brought to bear against their opposition; the timid will 'be frightened; the bold and conscientious frowned upon ; the vacillating cogently reasoned with; the corrupt purchased; and finally the garrison; having been brought into public contempt, the citadel of Protestantism will fall - MI easy prey to its enemies." Here is a long catalogue of horrors, not an item in whir}; tut is calculated to set the hair bristling on e..e head of every Orange bigot in the sister ci'antry ! But the Mail's griev ances are by n:0 means novel in their character, for our Contemporary has raised precisely the same cla mriur, whenever any mem= of more than ordinary justice and liberality has been suggested for the be nefit of Ireland. On all occasions of this sort— which, "like angers visits," have invariably been " few and far between "—he has never failed to get up a cry of the "Church in Danger," and to assert that the whole fabric of Irish Protestantism is me naced with irremediable destruction. Thus be acted when Lord NORMANDY took the reins of Government, and the same when Lord FORTESCUE was installed as Viceroy ; but despite his triste and noisy predictions, Protestantism has contrived to sur vive both administratiOns, and will continue to survive ages after our Contemporary has ceased to write, and his readers to peruse, his gloomy veicinations. If, hon*er, for the term " Protestantism," the Mail will allow us to substitute the term " bigotry," we will grant that there is some ground for his apprehensions, for it is scarcely possible to believe otherwise than tithe a scheme of national education, such as Sir ROBERT PEEL seems to have in his eye, will inflict a " heavy blow and great discouragement" on the cause of Trish intolerance. But surely it is high time that this should be the case, and that an ulcer, which for a long series of years has been preying on the national vitals, should be torn up by the roots ; and a chance at least be given to the sister country of gaining something like a healthy constitution ! There are no means by which this desirable result can so succesfully be arrived at as by education. Afford facilities of instruction to the middle and lower classes of Irishmen ; , let their instruction be conducted on a liberal and enlarged system, without reference to particular creedS and schisms ; and from that auspicious moment, bigotry will cease to 'be the chilly, withering blight it has so long been to the energies of Ireland. Even as the morning sun dispels the unwholesome vapours of the night, so will the calm, steady, penetrating light of intelligence disperse the darkness of bigotry, more cheerless even than the gloom of the grave. That the Orange men an ti c i pa t e suc h an i nevitable result.] from the system of education hinted at by Sir R. PEEL, is evident from the clamour they are now get ting up on the subject —a clamour which will most likely be chorussed by the high Protestant party in Enland, who have m an y s t rong po i nts i n common with their Irish brethren. But the Premier, we trust, will not allow himself to be scared from the path of obviou . ; duty by the senseless ravings of bigots, whether English or Irish, but press boldly forward with his task, an I not desist till he has brought it to a successful issue. He owes a heavy debt to Ireland, whose welfare he has neglected, if not treated with absolute indifference, for the two last sessions ; and the very least he can do is to pay off an instalment of this debt by such a scheme of practical education as shall have the best interests of the people, not of a mere party, for its ob jeet. In the present case, we believe Sir ROBERT PEEL to be really sincere in his desire to amelio rate the condition of the sister-country ; and sure are we that, if his determination and perseverance be on a par with his sincerity, he will triumphantly carry his point, for he will have a majority Of the two Houses of Parliament with him, and will be opposed only by the incurably prejudiced and bigoted, who, fortunately constitute a minority in both kingdoms. The "Causes of Incendiarism," to which we have lately adverted, in a few articles devoted to a retro spect of the melancholy outrages that have disgraced some of our eastern counties—are well touched by a " Correspondent," who dates from Norwich. It is impossible to approach such a subject without pain —difficult to discuss it without the hazard of doing harm by such a discussion ; yet it is one as impracti cable for us, al public journalists, to pass by unno• ticed, as it would be bnpoli!ic not to denounce such crimes, were it practicable to be silent cn the . fact of their existence. In this conviction we proceed, with out further hesitation, to remark tipon our Norwich Correspondent's communication. It is so recently that we took occasion to express our concurrence in the manly views of the actual con dition of our agricultural-labour population, with those avowed in the Hon. and Rev. Mr. GODOLPUIN OSBORNE'S letter to the Duke of RicumoND; that we shall not use any argument, or employ any statis tical authorities, to prove the allegation that our land owners and farmers arc too much addicted to pay their out-door servants very inadequate wages. We e confirmed in this belief by the still later declara tions of the Times on th's subject. They bear out Mr. OSBORNE'S charge that your great farmers and herders of stock have not a single animal to whose lodging, training, and management, they do not devote TILE SUN, LONDON, FIUDAY VLENING, J .fTTLY 26, 1644. taxes which they staid at, okit nf the iVainit they pay to their inifoitilnae The first result of the Ny4eWl s adopted is a most fatal and but too ob vious one. It becomes an element of their balm lation as to the expen‘rs farm they are about to Irk-1440, under this competition - -ekeifement, that a portion of their lab our Ve Aerie :strigle men, at a cost 4 . 4 t ilair of what they will have to pay V 6 iiitzrz4ed labourers. It is abundantly clear that the money profit of such practice—from which no benefit, in the true Oat a 16 word, can be said to rent?. tr.) Any one—centres finally in the landlord who encourages this reckless, Irish soft competi tion for the orcepittion d his farms. But 'lm fklkilledlate consequence obviously is this, In a district of labour already redundant in amount and underpaid id Wages,---nAmely, to enconret VA foment irnproVident . marriages. It is the surest means for the uninirtieu labourer to increase his earnins l to induce some female to unite her destiny to his already hopeless condition. In this way a generation of improvident, digenntented, and destitute pauper labouroit is tow established around the ver l y tlilplOyers with whose interests, in a "Driclition of circumstances, and under a `:,elter system of management; Molt ovvii would have alway been identified. Day by day the elindition of one or both parties deteriorates; and their interests, appear to the moody anti jaundiced reflection of the starving Vat - tiger, surrounded by the family whost Sole dependence is on the wages of his labott, to be directly opposed. The landowners would really do well to balance the titmoSt profit they can &rite froth a Mere incidental incitase of their rentals, (through the %11, or thoughtless ness of eotupding parties who are ready to pay a4sufdly exorbitant rentals, or to substribO to yet more absurdly exorbitant terint of agreement with them, in eeder to hold unclor them as tenants), against the certain influence which these causes exercise on the crime of ineendtartsm. The only true method that eats ever be successful in extinguishing its suicidal firebrand, ig, for the landowner to treat on terms of liberality and consideration with the tenant-farmer, contenting himself with a smaller but a more equi table and safer rental; and for the tenant-farmer to discharge his duty to the labourers and others whom he employs, by paying them such just and fair wages for their services, as shall not drive them, in the paroxysms of their unsatisfied hunger, or of their angry disappointment, to the concoction of schemes of vengeance and destruction against the property, the homes, and even the persons of those who should consider themselves the natural friends and protectors, not the spoilers or defrauders, of the industrious poor. Madrid papers of the 18th have been received. One of these states that the QUEEN had signed a de cree for proclaiming martial law throughout Spain. The Castellano, without attaching much credit to the report, says "we should prefer so an exceptional a state of things (which is necessary in an exceptional situation) to the singular and incomprehensible state in which we are, provided such a measure had an object beneficial to the country and were not adopted for the sole purpose of oppressing quiet peo ple." Such an act is extremely probable. NARVAxZ cannot halt between two opinions. He cannot at the same time act the despot, and allow the Cortes to de liberate with freedom. During the ensuing elections, under the pretext of preventing disturbances, he may say it is necessary to give the mili tary full power. But the press also must be gagged or put down, and that process is in a fairway of being accomplished. Five prosecutions had been instituted against a paper, called the Monarquia, and the editor there announces that he must suspend its publication. Proceedings had also been instituted against other papers. It was said that M. PASCUAL INGLADA, former intendant of the province of Toledo, had been ar rested, and was to be tried as an accomplice in the murder of General QUESADA. The Three per Cents. were done at 26i at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 19j. Marshal BUGEAUD has fought another battle with the Moors near.Ouchda, in which they were com pletely defeated and driven into the interior of the country. A telegraphic dispatch received by the French Government on Wednesday, and dated from the bivouac of Sidi-Zaer on the 16th, announces that the Marshal having been provoked by a fresh attack on the part of the Moors, routed and pursued them to the distance of three days' march beyond Ouchda. He returned on the 15th to the camp of Lala-Magrina. " All. the tribes were offering to submit, even those which are situated on the territory of Morocco." These repeated collisions tend to show either:that the Emperor of Moitocco is not sincere in disowning the acts of the Moorish chiefs, or that they set his authority at defiance. Some of the French journals, indeed, state the latter is the fact; and that the influence of ABD-EL-KADER is almost unbounded. It is to be . feared, therefore, that the fleet mast be employed to subdue these tribes, as an extensive barren tract, without water, lies between the frontier and capital, which entirely precludes the march of troops in that quarter. Nearly similar ac counts to those given in the telegraphic dispatch had been received at Toulon on the 20th. They declare that Marshal BUGEAUD was carrying on the war with great spirit, that he had again entered the Moorish territory, and was driving everything before him vv ith fire and sword. The Paris Siecle, after stating that the Alarshal had no hopes of terminating the differences peaceably, adds :- 4 It is said, that after the affair of the 3d July he wrote to the Prince de Joinville to pray him to act immediately. The Prince is said to have weighed anchor on the 7th from the roads of .flew-el-Keber, with the intention of commencing hostilities. Reflection and the fear of engaging his responsi bility, which is in fact great, or perhaps the information he received at Alibraltar, have modified - the ardour of the young Admiral, who has proceeded to the Bay of Algesiras to await furthe'r orders. We have heard from authority, and we be lieve it, that a ship of war has been dispatched with instruc tions to the Prince modifying those brought with Lim from Paris, and several regiments quartered in the south have re ceived Orders to embark at Toulon. It is not probable that the Cabinet would incur such an expenge if they thought it possible to avoid it. It is cavalry particularly that Marshal Bugeau , l demands. Two regiments have been sent him, but our French horses are little suited to support the fatigues of a war in Africa, and no doubt this cavalry will be employed in the interior. L► this manner the Marshal may dispose of 60 squadrons to enter Morocco, which will, so doubt, furnish means of remounting the men. For this reason Marshal Soult would not appoint a substitute. He directs all the ope rations from his estate at St. Amand, where the dispatches are directed to him." Several arrezti had been made at Neuilly, but no CUM is assigned. Arrests are also said to have taken place at Lyons, in consequence of a discovery that t . e weavers had entered into an association for a general turn-out, and had formed depots of arms of a partial sort, with a view to an attack upon the authorities of the department of the Rhone. The Prince de MONT• MORENCY-ROBECQ is to be tried at the Paris Assizes " on the charge of having distributed and sold signs or symbols intended to propagate the spirit of rebellion or dis!url) public peace."

There is to be no religious distinction. The children of misfortune, of whatever creed, are to be received into the same asy lum, and the hand of charity is held out to the Church man and the Dissenter alike. This is the way to re concik. contending creeds. Why should Christians quarrel with ore another in distress ? Why should religious dogmas, of which the children know no thing and the fathers little, stand in the way of cha rity? The supporters of this institution, called the New Asylum for Infant Orphans, deserve the support of all charitable men.

(before,lllr. do' rmiiissioner IN THE CASE OF ROE ANti The bankrupts, who had been acting nianagers of the Joint- Stock Bank; Newport; Isle of' Wight; applied to-day for their cert., litiate: Attifitrigiie Ifslmblers Nt" tdrdsi on the part of the bankrupts; and Mr. Ed w i n anieg Mr. Sturgeon were retained by the Directors and shareholders of the Bank to oppose them. The evidence taken on it formnr day having been read at the request of Mr. Lucas, Mr. JAMES rose to oppose the granting of the certificate. He said that he Would }Jiggly lay facts before his Honour to prove that both the bankrupts had acted in the Most flagrant manner, both hi theif tspaaity of b an k e r s and More lately in that of setVatits) and he was sure that his Honour Wotild be Wall able to discriminate whether the one was more faulty than the other: The eas e wa s a most i mportant one, and he she'll detain the Vmtirt but a tefy short Unit) as his friend Mr. Would no doubt addreds It aftera ward§ at length, and With great ability, in behalf of the bankrupts.. The; present opposition was, not entered upon from airy vindletisie feelings to the bankrupts themselves, but freliti a tiesife to do it duty to the shareholders of the Joint-Stock Bank, and to the general public. It appeared that the bankrupts Roe and Blackford had succeeded to the banking lousiness carried on in Newport, Isle of Wight, under the firm of Sir Richard Bassett and Co. In 1842, this bank was considerably pressed, and in fact insolvent. A number of gentlemen unaware of the fact, however, proposed to amalgamate, if he might so say, into a joint- stock bank, the operations and business of the other. These gentlemen were of the highest standing and respectability in the island, and the bankrupts at once ac ceded to their proposition although they were then, as was subsequently discovered, actually insolvent to the enormous amount of 50,000 or 60,000 pounds. He (Mr. James) would direct his Honour's attention to this fact, fully confident that that alone would afford suffi cient reason for refusing their certificate. But there was something of even a deeper dye than this non-disclosure of their insolvent condition. Mr. Blackford, on being asked whether a true statement of the assets of Bassett's bank had been furnished to the directors of the joint-stock bank, said that he was not aware such was required. He (Mr. James) would prove by witnesses that Blackford had said that that statement should be furnished every hour; but it never was furnished, and the most paltry excuses were alleged for his non-compliance in this respect--such as that the customers of Bassett's bank would feel aggrieved if their private affairs were exposed, &c. Yet all this time Blackford knew that he and his partner were insolvent ; and he still stated, not once but often, not to one person but to many, that the bank was perfectly solvent. The shareholders and directors of the joint -stock bank were grievously deceived, and a debt of 63,0001. was saddled upon them, in consequence of the bank rupts' misconduct. The joint-stock bank paid off a sum of Glyn and Company for 21,000/., thus purchasing the business of the old banking-house, and they then placed the bank rupts in the confidential position of managers of the concern. The bankrupts had now entered upon a course of deceit in not communicating the state of their affairs, and in order to screen themselves from the just indignation of the directors, they tried all manner of shifts, some of which he should lay before his Honour. They had pledged a number of secu rities, as deeds, promissory -notes, and so forth, with the Messrs. Currie, to an amount stated to repre sent thirty-two thousand pounds. This they had no right to do, for the property was that of the joint-stock bank ; but the bankrupts' motives were simply to patch up the falling credit of Bassett's bank, and they did so for a time by this contrivance. His Honour would find that, on the 14th of November, 1842, a letter was written to the Messrs. Currie and Co. by Mr. Blackford, stating that he " would feel obliged if Messrs. Currie would forward promissory notes of Bassett and Co., as per other side," and be signs this as manager of the joint-stock bank. Those securities were no more theirs than they were his (Mr. James's), and the Mesirs. Currie thought that they were parted with to the joint-stock bank. On the 21st of November a similar circumstance occurred, and again a third in December, mak ing in all upwards of 9,000/. got in this manner, which he (Blackford) took credit for. They were all this time insolvent, and they knew it; but when • certain of the old customers to Bassett's bank wished their sums, or nominal sums—for there were no assets to meet the claims of creditors—to be transferred to the joint-stock bank, the bankrupts did so, thus, in fact, saddling their debts on the shareholders and directors, whose confi dence they had so sadly abused. He might continue the calendar of their misconduct, but he thought he had said enough to make his Honour pause before granting the bank rupts certificates, and he would now call witnesses into the box to prove these allegations. The bankrupt Blackford was placed in the box, and his examination, by Mr. Lucas, was going on when our re porter left. UNION-HALL.--(THIS DAY.) William Etheridge, landlord of the White Horse Inn, Fann. street, Aldersgate, was placed at the bar charged with steal. ing a wooden frame and some wood letters, the alleged pro• perty of George Jasling, landlord of the Cricketers, at Cam• berwell. The complainant stated that he took the Cricketers from the prisoner, whose name in large wooden letters was over the front of the house. The prisoner had on several occasions asked for the letters forming his name, which were refused, and at four o'clock that morning he brought some men with him, and proceeded to take down his name, when complain ant, hearing the noise, went out and gave him into custody. Mr. Child, the solicitor, contended that there was not the slightest pretext for charging the defendant, a highly re spectable man, with felony . ; that the wooden letters, com posing his name, were not included in the inventory of the goods purchased by the complainant, when he took the Cricketers from the accused. Mr. TRAILL expressed his surprise that the accused should have been subjected to the indignity of being given into cus tody on a charge for which there were not the slightest grounds. The Magistrate, having strongly deprecated the conduct of the complainant in making such a charge, imme diately discharged Mr. Etheridge, who expressed his inten tion of adopting proceedings against his accuser for false im prisonment.

The Itioniteur publishes a Royal ordonnance, stating that, from the Ist of September next, all lettres recommendees (let lers which, instead of being thrown into the box, are shoult to the postmaster, who enters the addresses, and takes thew into his charge) will be received in all the post-offices of Frante, her possessions, subject to the following conditions They are to be under envelope, with two seals, each in wax. The postage may be paid for or not as the senders may please, but in either no extra charge is to be made. It is distinctly stated that, although all possible care will be taken of these letters, the Government will not hold itself responsible in case of loss. A circular has been sent to the Prefects of the departments by the Minister of the Interior, recommending them to do' all in their port er for the relief of the indigent on the occasion of the Mee of July, and informing them that instructions have been given to the clergy to pay due attention to the religious ceremonies. Orders have been sent by the Government to several regi' ments ha garrison in the south, to embark at Toulon to Pill the army in Algeria. It is said also that a ship of war is about to sail with dispatches for the Prince de Joinville, mo difying the instructions which he received on leaving Paris: Mme. Bugeaud and her daughter have arrived at Toulon, from Algiers. A letter from Modena announces the death of the First Minister of the reigning Duke, who is himself still seriously indisposed. The Independame of Brussels publishes the decree of the King of Prussia, dated June 24, by which, in accordance with ail the other states of the German Customs Union, he imposes, by way of reprisals, it would seem, for duties imposed upoo. German products in Belgium, additional duties upon Belg►an. iron, wrought and unwrought, imported into Prussia. The IndtCpendance estimates the new duties at 50 per cent. higher than those levied upon iron imported from any other country. M. Solon, an advocate of Montauban, having been ap pointed by the Pacha of Egypt to deliver a course of law lectures at Alexandria, letters patent have been granted for Ida exercising public functions in Egypt, without forfeiting his quality of a Frenchman. The Nuremberg Correspondent states that the working classes of Brood, in Bohemia, had risen en masse, and de stroyed several factories. Troops had arrived, however, from the neighbouring garrisons, and no doubt was entertained of the restoration of order. It appears certain, according to the same paper, that the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria will meet at the baths of Ischia; but, it is added, that the intended meeting is unconnected with politics. LAW AND POLICE. At the Ipswich assizes two of the, persons tried for arson were tried on the 24th, and found guilty. The sentence on one was deferred, and the other was ordered to be transported for 15 years. The Exeter Assizes commenced on the 34th. There are twenty-two cases entered for trial, of which live are special juries. The calendar contains the names of fifty-eight pri soners; among• whom two are for cutting and wounding, one for murder, one for manslaughter, one for horse -stealing► one for bigamy, and eight for the crime of arson ; the rest are, for the most part, accused of larcenies and other isuch offences. At Lambeth-street, Mr. Henry was engaged for some time in investigating a charge of a very serious and important nature, as respects the police force and the public, preferred against two constables belonging to the K. division of police, named George Hailes, 54 K, and Edward Hawley, 209 K, for a violation of their duty in lawfully withholding certain moneys allowed for expenses to three witnesses in a case of felony tried at the Middlesex Sessions on Monday week- After a lengthened inquiry, Hailes was committed to prison for one month, and the other was discharged. George Gator, a policeman of the F division, No. 23, ap peared at Bow-street to receive judgment f o r the charge of assault preferred against him by the wife of Mr. Hogg , hosier, 73, Fleet-street, and which was fully detailed in The Sun of Wednesday last. Mr. Twyford considered the de fendant had been guilty of a gross breach of duty, and had acted in a manner so as to render it impossible to pass a light sentence on him. He fined him 31., or in default to be com mitted to the House of Correction for twenty-one days. The defendant paid the fine, and was immediately discharged. At Marlborough-street, Otto Feder, a young and rather good-looking German, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick for having beaten Edward Wills, an Englishman, about his own age. The encounter occurred at Miss F. H. Belly's theatre, in Dean-street, on the 16th of this month. After hearing the complainant by counsel, the defendant, and Miss Kelly, who addressed the Court in a fluent speech, Mr. Hard wick said, with respect to the charge, &had been proved that the complainant had used insinuations in the first instances and had applied the term " liar "to the defendant. Being of opinion that a sufficient justification of the alleged assault had been shown, he should dismiss the summons. C OVUM -WAS ELIO 72V AB Tin.

This was eli cited by a question put by Mr. Labouchere in the House of Commons last night, to which Mr. Gladstone replied that par ties duly qualified to give certificates of origin as to sugars ex ported from the Dutch East India Colonies had been ap pointed.

The col lection was the last that had been formed by Mr. Hawkins, a gentleman not only well known for his researches in geo logy, but as having supplied the British Museum with a valuable collection of remains, similar, though highly supe rior, to those disposed of at the present sale.

Mr. GitaAk hiought up the report upon this NH. On the motion thdt the airtendments of the Committee be agreed to, Mr. V. SMITH said this Bill contained th same error Which plrvaded all former Bills on this subject— namely, that of cotititiering controverted elections as a matter between two contending parties, and not as a matter affecting the public generally. Ile regretted that thd fitimber of Members on Committee§ on Contro verted elections had Iten fixed at five. He thatight it would have been much moi' tOnvonient to have made three the number of Members to be th'i these Commit tees: Ho thought that some means ought to be, adopted W lirnit the expEits9 of conducting an opposition to a pe tition: 4 the present constitution of the bar for election Committeeo, that bar . Was very 'United, and the conse quence was, that one eminent counsel wa§ frequently engaued on half-a-dozen Cdttledittees at d once. Ile e a speech in one Committee and then fan Off to another, and the consequence was, that a number of junior counsel were engaged to conduct the other parts of the ease. Although this Bill oil cied a slight improvement, yet he could not support the principle tipon which it was founded. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET did not see why the services of an eminent counsel should be confined to one Committee. Although the Right Hon. Gentleman had objected to this Bill, yet he bad suggested nothing in its place. The amendments were then agreed td. SAVINGS BANKS BILL. On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. HtThlE et:implanted that uniformity had not been observed in this Bill with respect to the payment of in terest on deposits. He also complained that tho original intentioii 'With respect to the establishment of sayings' banks had not beett carried out. Savings' lottiks were established for the benefit of the working classes, butt persons of all descriptions had bean allowed to become depositors in savings' banks. He complained of the amount of salaries to persons employed as managers and clerks in the savings banks of the country. Many abuses had crept into our system of savings -banks, and he was sorry to find that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had not endeavoured to, remedy them. Pro bably—and no doubt this was the ease—the Chancellor was ignorant of the existence of these abuses ; but he (Mr. Hume) assured him that he had paid a great deal of attention to the subject, and he had discovered many abuses which ought to be remedied as early as possible. He was anxious to check the practice of persons of the better classes being allowed to become depositors. These persons were allowed to deposit 201. or 30/., and receive interest upon it at once, whilst the poor man, who deposited his few shillings at a time, received no interest until his deposits had reached a certain suin in the aggregate. _ _ 311: j . - I)ARBY thought this Bill would prove very beneficial The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed in much that had fallen from the Hon. Member for Mon trose, but it should be recollected that Parliament had not originated savings' banks. It had, however, given encouragement to them when they were once formed, and had conferred upon them a degree of security which they had not before possessed. There were two great abuses which were likely to arise in connection with savings' banks. The first was, that the high rate of interest would hold out an inducement to per sons to deposit moneys in those banks, for whose benefit or use they were never intended. The whole number of depositors under 201. was only six per cent. of the whole number of de positors. The other evil which was likely to arise was, that if the rate of interest was low it would tend to en courage extravagance on the part of the banks. The best mode of guarding against both those abuses, was to make the rate of interest given by the savings' banks lower than what could be obtained if money -we: invested in other public securities. At the dif ferent rates of interest given by the banks of deposit, he did not think it was an ob jectionable feature in the present system ; but, at all events, it was unavoidable. The Right Hon. Gentleman went on to show by documentary evi dence that the public was rather a gainer than a loser by the management at present adopted. He proposed to raise the maximum rate of interest from 21. 15s. as ori ginally intended to 31.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BROTHERTON thought that every encourage ment should be given to those establishments for the sake of the industrious labourers. He thought that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would do well to raise the maximum rate of interest to 31. 10s. Mr. DIVETT thought that the savings' banks were conducted on the whole, so as to give satisfaction. He entirely approved of the principle on which the Bill was founded, and he thought that the greatest credit was dun to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the atten which he had given to the subject. Mr. LABOUCHERE approved on the whole of the principle of the Bill, and he agreed with the Hon. Gen tleman that the greatest credit was due to the Right Hon. Gentleman for the attention which he had devoted to the subject. He thought that the raising of the rate of in terest to 3Z would give general satisfaction. He hoped that the smaller banks would be enabled to afford this rate of interest as well as the larger establishments. Col. RUSHBROOKE thought that the raising of the rate of interest to 3/. would give satisfaction. He thought that every assistance should be given to the smaller banks. After a few words from Mr. HAWES and Mr. B. EscorT, the House went into Committee, Mr. GREENE in the chair. On clause 1 being proposed, Sir E. COLEBROOKE said it was considered that 10s. for the management was too much, and ss. too little. He wished to know whether the Chancellor of the Ex chequer would not allow 31. 6s. Bd., that was 34 for in terest and 6s. Bd. for the management ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that they would regulate the rate of interest given by the savings bank, according to the general interest allowed by other general securities. He thought that 31. ss. was sufficient. Mr. HUME thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer was quite right. Ho hoped he would not be induced to allow more than 3/. ss. Sir T. D. ACLAND thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to allow 31. Os. 10d. as interest. He also thought that it was due to the smaller banks that a higher sum than ss. ought to be allowed for manage ment. He thought that 6s. Bd. was little enough ; and any person who knew anything of those savings' banks must be of the same opinion. He should propose that 6s. Bd. should be allowed. _ _ Mr. LABOUCHERE said that if the Hon. Baronet the Member for Devonshire divided the Committee on bis proposition, that the sum for management should be 6s. Bd., he would support him in that proposition. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that those who proposed 31. Gs. Bd. could not have suffi ciently considered the relation in which the Government stood with regard to savings banks. They stood in the situation of a solvent banker, and they could not allow a higher rate of interest than the most solvent banker could afford. On those grounds he felt bound to adhere to the original proposition of 31. ss. (LEFT SITTING LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, JULY 26.—Wind W. to N.W., light breezes, and cloudy.

The interior was lined with scarlet and white draperies, fes tooned all round, confined by rosettes of the same colours. Suspended from the roof were some sixty chandeliers, which were of course lighted up at dusk, contributing to render the interior a gorgeous spectacle. The exterior was surmounted by several minarets, from which floated banderols. It was boarded throughout, for it must be understood that it was subsequently to be converted into a " salon de danse," and three tables, extending the whole length of the marquee, were arranged for the sumptuous fare. Above 600 persons sat down to dinner at the same - time, so the magnitude of the marquee may be imagined."—Morning Herald.
