SAVINGS BANKS BILL.

On the order of the day fur going into committee on
this bill,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rid
there was hardly sufficient time left in this session to
admit of an ample discussion of all the various
points of the bill, and for this, as wall as other
reasons he bad come to the conclusion that, however
anxious some parties might be for immediate legislation, it
would yet be better to postpone this bill for another year.
(Hear, hear.) He would, therefore, move that the house
de resolve itself into a committee on the bill this day three
months. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. H. HERBERT ventured to express an earnest hops
that this subject would be again brought forward at
the very earliest riod next session.
Sir B. HALL thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer
had made out quite sufficient grounds for the postponement
of this measure.

Sir H. ILLOVORBY was glad to find that government
did not intend to persevere with it, because, if they had done
so, there would hive been no alternative left to the majority
of the trustees but to resign.
After some further conversation,
The order was discharged.

option as to whether the improvements upon which he was
to be charged should be made or not.

was a &faculty in getting the landlords to carry out im-
provements.
