reason to entrusting OA Savings Bank Commis-

guarantees that these powers will not be abased ;
bet, granting their fitness to be entrusted with
them, these gentlemen are neither of them
immortal, and their sucoespors may not be
possessed either of their prudence or their judgment.
The regulations adopted from " time to time " in
various public departments have not preserved them
from gross mismanagement, and the mode in which
public accounts are kept and audited is a fertile and
long-standing subject of ridicule among commercial
men. Our great objection to an undue centralise-
don, especially in matters of finance, is based upon
the proved absence of any real responsibility on the
part of Government racial& The Crimean disasters
and the Admiralty blunders have demonstrated that
in JOHN Bott's bones there is • oat, called " the

The main object proposed by the CHANCELLOR of
the Excasavert ia the extension of the sphere of
%Silty at the Savings Banks, by giving to the de-
positors an additional use of security as regards
the funds entrusted to those institutions. Bet much
the mem of the banks is doe to the local know-
ledge and lenses of the trustees and recess, and
if the moral responsibility which now reef era
those gentlemen, sad their influence in the renege-
neat of the bents, be dew away with, what substi-
tute does the State propose to provide ? If Mere
are to be removed or impended without TAMS. to
the trustees, and if regulations for the wales
tails of the banks are to be issued without apple
from the Central Board, which may be guided by
mere crotchets instead of the local immix/pp pm
seemed by the managers, the efficiency of the bees
as sfimulants to economy and prudence may be
seriossly compromised. For this reason we think
it essential that some definite limits shall be
fixed to the regulating power of the Commission,
giving it, however, ell facilities for ascertaining that
the banks are conducted with proper economy and
Melity. We object especially to the proposed power
