EXTRACT FROM THF. REPORT OF THE IHIPERIV-
TENDING COMMITTEE. &c. SOUTHAMPTON-ROW,
B LOU Mbli URY.

In preseminz this, their Second Annual Report,
your Committee have the honour, in conformity
with the 4th Rule, to submit a stinunary of the
transactions of this lustitution since its first esta-
hli•hmeut.

Your Committee have likewise added to this
summary some interesting statements, from which
those who feel anxious fur the success of the In-
stitution will be enabled to observe how com-
pletely its progress has hitherto accorded with its
origkal design.
It is not merely from a review of the details,
which these statements contain, that your Commit-
tee feel themselves justified in using the language
of congratulation. A knowlege of the benefits,
which have already flowed from the operation of
the principles inculcated by this Institution—the
rapid extension of its sphere of usefulness—the
testimony, which the depositors themselves have
repeatedly borne to its manifold advantages—the
confidence they have evinced in its gond faith and
beneficial tendency—and the meritorious persever-
ance, which no small proportion of them have dis-
played, in gradually accumulating by its means a
future provision for themselves and their families—
these are circumstances on which your Committee
cannot but dwell with the greatest satisfaction.
It is no less pleasing to your Committee to he
enabled, after the experience they have had, to bear
their humble testimony to the justness of the views
entertained by those who have ascribed to the ope-
ration of Savings Banks a moral influence on the
principks and conduct, as well as der outward cir-
cumstances, of the labouring classes of society.
Were proofs of this influence required, your Com-
mittee could advert to several onstuoces where this
Institution has been instrumental in reforming lire-
Kolar and improvident habits; where it has tendril
to instil or confirm carnet principles and ;;oeod dis-
positions;or where it has invigorated habits of in-
dustry by sowing the seeds of frugality.
It has afforded your Committee no less gratifies-
tion to remark the numermia liCed!.1011. wi w Inch
this Institution has also proved a " Friend
in cases of sickness and want of employment, as
well as other emergencies, when 110 other means
were at hand than the effectual provision which the
sufferer had here secured to himself by his provi-
dent exertions and economy.
It is impossible, therefore, for your Committee
not to cherish nn increased assurance, that the more
intimately the industrious classes become acquaint-
rd with the value and solidity of such establish-
'twists as the present, the hi her and the more ge-
nerally they will rise in their estimation. Expe-
rience will convince them, that the promises they
hold out, however attractive, are nut more than
they can readily fulfil, and that the benefits they
confer are not temporary, or merely pecuniary, but
subdantial and durable.

From the preceding observations, it will be
evident that your Committee have not been called
upon lu discharge au ungretelul task.
They now proceed to subunit a statement of the
transactions of this Bunk since its formation to
February, 1817.
[Here foil OW4 an account of the receipts, amount-
ing to 39.,783/. 9: 3d. ; and of its application, to
the same amount.]

minute oljtet, namely, the safe costutly and in.
crease of snifill savings belonging to the Industrious
dosses ; —au object which the Legislature had par.
ticularly in view, whets extending its encourage-
ment to these establishments.

submitting there details to your consideration,
the Committee will merely remark, that nearly one-
half of the deposits has consisted of sows, not ex-
ceeding 10•. lid. ; Ilearly two-thirds of them, or
mbnoi not exceedisig -2 Is.; and more than four fifths,
of pow' not exceethog five pounds.
