ROYAL MARINES.

The following has just been issued for the guidance of
each of the commandants of the divisions of the Royal
Marines at Chatham, Woolwich, Portsmouth, and Ply-
mouth:—

" Royal Marine-office,Oct. 30.

" My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, with a
view of affording improved facilities to the non-commis-
sioned officers, drummers, and privates of the division
under your command, for depositing any portion of their
pay, prize-money, or money derived from other sources
in a savings-bank in the immediate vicinity of your
head-quarters, are pleased to direct that the divisional
paymaster shall at all times be ready to give the men
information en the subject, and that he shall appoint a
sergeant in his office to the special duty of accompany-
ing any man who may be desirous of availing himself of
the privilege of depositing such sums as ho may think
proper for the future benefit of himself and family in the
savings-bank accordingly.
" That the sergeant so nominated shall see that the
men who so deposit their money be supplied with a sav-
ings-bank book, with the sum properly entered therein,
and the sergeant shall, under the paymaster's direction
have charge of a ledger, in which shall be entered the names
of such depositors; which ledger shall be presented to the
colonel commandant, at such periods as he may desire,
for his information as to those non-commissioned offi-
cers and men who have, to their own credit and advan-
tage, thus secured their spare money for their use at
periods when it may be most required for their future
comfort.
" For this extra duty, the sergeant so employed shall
receive an allowance of 2s. 6d. a-month, when the num-
ber of depositors shall be under 50, which allowance
will be increased from time to time upon represen-
tation, agreeably to the increese of depositors, till it
shall amount to 10s. a-month; and this allowance, to-
gether with any reasonable expense that may be in-
curred by the purchase of savings-bank regulations for
the men's information, may be charged to the division's
contingent.

" In furtherance of their Lordships' directions on this
important subject, you will be pleased to put yourself in
communication
with the authorities of the savings•bank
in )u
locality, and provide a number of their regu-
lations fully sufficient to place at least one copy in each
barrack-room, and to direct the several non-commis-
sioned officers superintending to explain them to the
mon of the rooms under their charge.
" You are, moreover, to earnestly recommend the
men of the division under your commend to avail
them-
selves of this benefit, assuring them that their evincing
a disposition to be careful of their money and saving it
for their own comfort and useful purposes hereafter, will
at all times be considered by their Lordships as a
proof
of good conduct, and entitle them to favourable consider-
ation.
" This letter is to be entered in public orders, and read
at the head of each company at three successive morning
parades, and on the throe next general muster-daya.
„Jowl OWEN, Deputy Adjutant-General.
"To the Colonel Commandant of the Division
of Boys' Marines."

em- Aajority might make for themselves a sufficient
provision against misfortune and poverty in old age, if
they would but rightly avail themselves of the power
which the principle of association gives. That a right
appreciation of that is growing amongst the upper and
middle classes is shown by the fact that a sum equal to
150 millions is at this time assured to the survivors of
individuals in England and Scotland, but the system re-
quires yet to be largely extended. It must be remem-
bered that there aro two or three associations in (xis-
