SAVINGS BANKS.

Mr. OLIVEIRA rose to ask the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer if he intends to introduce any measure upon the
iMbject of savings banks during the present session ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, though
he had a bill on the subject of savings banks prepared, he
was fearful he should not be able to bring it in during the
present session with any prospect of passing it, which was
the only useful result bringing in such a bill could have.
(Hear, hear.)

CHURCH LEASEHOLDS.
Lord A. VANE asked Lord John Russell whether the
noble Lord, having announced an intention on the part of
her Majesty's Government to introduce in the course of the
present session a bill for continuing the act of 1851 for the
,enfrancbisement of church leaseholds. will be prepared to
introduce such a measure before the resumption of the ad-
journed debate on the Episcopal and Capitnlar Estates Bill,
which stands fixed for the 17th instant, and whether such
measure will simply provide for the further continuance of
the act of 1851, or will contain amendments thereon ?
Lord J. RUSSELL was afraid the bill to which he had
alluded could not be introduced befors the 17th, but he
could state generally that the object of the bill would be to
coutiaue the provisions of former acts.

Sir J. GRAHAM replied that what ho stated was that
2,200 horses had been embarked for Turkey ; but he had
the satisfaction of now stating. that he had received a letter
from Lord Raglan, at Malta, intimating that a portion of
this convoy had arrived there without the loss of a single
horse, and had been taken in tow by steamers for convey-
" ance to Conetantinople. No doubt by this time they had.
reached that place, and the others were on their way. Ar-
rangements had been made for sending out a still larger
number of horses, including, 500 which were on the point
of being forwarded in, the Himalaya. (Hoar, hear,)
