DORCHILTrIft PENNY BANR.—lite financial year of the
Penny Bank, which is conducted by the Rev. 11. Everett,
Rector of Holy Trinity, has just concluded, and we learn
from the rev. gentleman the following interesting parti-
culars —" 1474 from 759 depositors I took .M.X, Se. 2,1.,
whereas in WO, from SIO depositors, I actually received
£516 2s. 4.1. This is a considerable increase over the last
years, awl may be acconuted ior u inany ways. Perhaps
(as the Town Council ever assert) this ancient heronglo it
becoming wore prosperous every year, thanks, of conisj,
to their management; perhaps the fathers and mothets
drink 'Cal% mei the children spend less in • pone or
perhaps the Education Act of 1870 (the premised panacea
fur all our evils) is really Iwginning to bear fruit at list.
and our new model and enlarged schools are inculcating
halats of industry and thrift. But I tell you what I am
certain of; isi onler to make the Post Office Savings Banks
sue•eod better than they do at present. the Government
should e.llum lid. or even 1,1. to be paid into them. Now
they rucawc under Is. Nearly the whole of my
money is taken in sty' sigall rents. And did the Govern-
ment only do this, there would SA tic Peed for me and Mr.
Cooper to sit for two mortal hours in k• COW rihnoliroom
every Saturday night, and the Banks would pae Rossi
interast." These facts and suggestions are important.
The increased saving is ma et cheerini, however it has
been brought about. While we heartily agree with the
Eector in thinking that the l'ost (Slice Savings Banks
should be uicre useful, we very much doubt if any
state department u•cajd attra-t the odd ponce and the
slippery siajounivs into its' Leber.; vitilt anything like the
saccem which attends ths genial neisioszevenciN of the
' Rector of Holy Trinity, who is brought so freoijen.tsy. into
immediate contract with the depositors. The State Is to
aletraction, chic:ly realised in the lona sits taxigatberer
but Mr. Everett i, everywhere known. It 4 universally
liked, and for carrying on a Penny Bank may lie safely
pitted agailot half-a-olmen State departments. We hope
that an I.4.lLusion of domestic duties will not lead to any
relinquishment oi dit„ct interest in the Penny Bank, but
that year alter yea: Mr. hveieti limy record an increase
of depositors and of casings.

Jewish 14W tolerated an institution that was then

to do their utmost to diwountenance and repress that
abominable crime against humanity. But, to our surprise

A ship of war has lately been destroyed: it Is said to have
cost about half-a-million pounds : such a sum is equal to
the wages of a thousand workmen for many yours; all
their time and trouble is, as it were, sunk in the sea. It
is a national lose : and so ler as it mhos' want of skill, or
went of eau, it affeete our national reputation. The
nation is humbled by an error of Judgment, on the part of
one or two whom it bad placed ii. trust: but it has not
only been hemilisted. but degraded, by the officials who
have published to the world that "care is to be taken
that slaves are not misled into the belief, that they will
find their liberty by getting neuter the British flag."
Misled into the belief—misled : while those Yam have led
them into it are the glory of their country, whose names
England will net willingly let die We are told by a nithister

tions, luau* they haul excited Joinder inuliamation, that

But there is this ...infest : freedom eeneet be ruined,

is not the ease with our national eliaraeter. It
inay lie hupaired ; and, if nothing is done, it may sink ;
but, hefore other nations have discovered the dint that
hae been made in it, we have enien it ourselvea, and are
reedveul that we will make it good. It shall not sink,
God willing. Most of you remember the confliet in

but that his master might compel bles to retuos to

the salt of the earth that was to parity it. We, who now
