THE ST. Gronoz's VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS.—
A strong muster of this corps took place on Monday even-

School, Knightsbridge. After a few preliminaries, the
corps, accompanied by both hands of the regiment, marched
out, and proceeded to Lord's Cricket Ground, where, after
falliag out for a short time for refreshment, they re.easerre
bled and returned to Kuightabrklge. The corps will not
meet again for drill until Thursday, the Bth of January. The
annual concert, given by the bead icif the corps, will take
place at St. James'whidl on the 14th of January, cm
which occasion Mr. Sims Reeves and other vocalists will
appear ; Mr. Benedict and the members of the Vocal Aro.
codices have also kindly offered their assistance ; and
Colonel the Hon. C. H. Lindsay will, by desire of several
member. of the corps, perform on the cornet-A-piston, on
which instrument the gallant colonel has for some years

FINSBURY SAVINGS BANK, 76, CHEAPSIDE, AND
fizeroßDe-snerr, CLEHRENSELL.—The accounts of this
institution having now been balanced and the hank ne.opened
for the new year, the mausgers have need a brief notice of
their receipts, payments. and progress during the past year.
That statement shows that there have been a larger number
of truseditions than in any former year ; that the receipts
have amounted to 141,813/., and the repayments to
. 130,8551. ; that there have been 19,188 so:omits opened,
i and that there is au increase in the aerial amounting to
10,9571. These results, iu the face of so much distress and
I of so many opposing circumstances, are considered by the
managers to be most satisfactory. The increue la the
• number of accounts was unexpected, and may possibly be
I attributed to the government measure of the previous ses-
: Woo. fur by it the government may be said to have both
Irecommended and urged economy and prudence by the
facilities they have given for their exercise, and to have
secured that extension of the savings bank system for
I which the managers of this institution have for so maay
can pleaded. One effect here hasbeen that the managers
have been obliged to enlarge their offices and to extend
greatly the facilities afforded to their depositors. The in-
terest is still continued at 3!. per cent. par annum, and is
reckoned month] on all accounts.
OGLE-MEWS NEW RAGGED SncOOLS.—The open-
, ing meeting of the Dew schools recently erected is Upper
Ogle-street, Foley-street, Marylebooe, was held in the
ibuilding yesterday evening. Alderman Sir R. W. Carden,
who presided, was supported by Sir Roundell Palmer, M.P.,
• Rev. W. annum, Mr. Joseph Payne, Mr. Alderman law-
ranee, Mr. ex-Sheriff Lusk, Mr. J. G. Gent, Ac.. The
meeting, which was numerously attended, was opened With
prayer by the Rev. G. Pocock. Theeltairmen then delivered
an appropriate address. The cootract for the building bad,
he said, been 909/. ; other charges raised the Nobilities to
1,1594 ; the subscription received, including 501. front the
Ragged School Union, had amounted to 9004 ; cone-
quently there remained a deficiency of rather more than
2501. to be made up. They were to have a collection, and,
averse as he was to begging. he hoped they would come for-
ward with their subscriptions. The Rev. W. Cadman fol-
; lowed in an impressive speech, after which Sir Roundell
Palmer spoke on the benefits legged schools eoeferred on
the children and on society in amoral lie alluded to the
questions touching the punishment of adult criminals, and
I argued that the rayed schools, which prevented crime,
i ought to be supported. Mr. Joseph Payne afterwards ad-
dressed the meeting, and delivered his 1,7920 d set of TOMOS.
The collection made during the proceedings amounted to
534 :is. A vote of thanks war given to the chairman, and
the Rev. W. Cadman closed the meeting with the bene-
diction. _ _

THE LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND
▪ Beimoinuerr Mown Que,florr.—The recent decisions
of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce members present
at the meetings which were held on the subject of comma-
Mal blockades and belligerent rights at see have not met I
with the approval of the general body of the members of
the Chamber. The council of the Chamber met yesterday
for the purpose of dealing with a requisition from mem.
here of the Chamber, asking the council to give an
opportunity by circular to each member of recording his
opinion upon the resolutions and amendment. es to com-
mercial
blockades and belligerent rights reosetly passed.
Macy members of the council thought it wsa inexpedient
to introduce the system of voting by circular, as it mtet
reverse the decision' already come to by the Chem &r
and procure the votes of persons who did not
attend meetings, and bear the arguments pro sad
con., and were therefore incapable of forming cor-
rect opinions. On the other heed, Mr. Ton, who was
strongly supported in his argument, urged that voting by
circular pee immense facilities to men of business who
could not waste their time in listening to individual mem-
hen for hours topther. and in attending adjourned debates
from day to day. Mr. Ton said it tea presumptuous for 60
members present at the recent meetings on the belligerent
eights questions to make their decisions binding upon 600
After considerable further diwinisiori, the follow-
log motion, moved by Mr. Hampshire, seconded by Mr.
Rawlins, wee adopted :—" That before deciding epee the
requisition received from members of the Chamber, the
council should give ea opportunity to each member by air-
osier of the Clamber to record his opinion upon the remain-
tail and amendment as to commercial blockaded and beni-
son/A*6as* ere, and this email remote that %deputa-
tion of the requisitionists will favour them with an interview
on this subject." •
