STR ROBERT PEET AND TIF,

- -

Ls 1 R ae Ftci ti. ioice
of the representations which have been trade respect:ng
the existence of distress in this part of the country, by
making some statements respecting the amount of pay-
ments into, and withdrawals from, the Savings Banks.
The fact is, and Sir Robert Peel ought to have known it—
indeed, it is probable he did know it ; but, speaking with
a special object, it did not suit his purpose to acknow-
ledge the circumstance—that June is not at any time a
month of large deposits, but is usually a month of large
repayments. In June, 18:37, for example. the deposits
in the Manchester Savings Bank were 3,740/. ; but
the repayments were no less than 7,6291., thus excee:k
ing the deposits by no less than 3,889/. In August,
1837, however—as in August this year—the tables
were turned ; the deposits were 6,116, and the with.
drawals 4,961/., or 1,155/. less than was deposite3. In
this case, we may obserse, there was no change of Ad-
ministration to account for so remarkable an alteration.

There are, however, several obvious reasons for such
a state of things. Many of the depositors in Savings
Bsnks are, in June, retaining what they can spare from
their wages, for the payment of Cieir rents, and other
periodical charger, which come upon then about that
season of the year. And, in most districts of the cean.
try, it must be remembered, that July and August are
months of considerable. -extra earnings, from piece-work
harvesting, which have hardly be:on in June, or, they
have, are then absorbed in preparing for the ordinary
Midsummer payments, of :lhich almost every family has
more or less to make.

But Sir Robert Pcel, fioding his statements of Fri-
day objected to, returned to the subject on Thurs-
day last, with some mare recent information. Hu
says, it had seen complained that the returns for the
present year, which he had already laid before the
House had particular reference to the agricultural
districts.

" Oa the present occasion Le had made inquiry into
the returns in a manufacturing district, and he had se-
lected a diEtri.:t of the utmost importance, namely,
Blanchester and Stockport ; and the result of tlie in-
formation he obtained was as follows :—During the
months of July, August, and September, in the years
1837, 1838, and 1839, the average of deposits amounted
to 22.6001., and the amount of withdrawals was
21,0301., leaving a balance in favour of deposits of
1,5701. la the years 1830 and 1840, taking the ave-
rage for the same three months, the amount of deposits
was 24,300/., while the arrioua, of withdrawals was
23.800/., leaving a halanc! of only 509/. In 1841, for
the same three months, the amount of deposits was
28,108/., and the amount of withdrawals was 25,356/.,
leaving a h&ance in favour of deposits of 2,7471"

Der! no cause for this diiTerence strike Sir Robe-t
Peel ? Did be• not know, or did it 7...0t suit turn to
state, that in 1837 there were three contested elections,
within the circuit which his ryturns embracf., viz., in
Manchester, in Salford;and in Stockport ; and that at
about the same period in this }ear, at least on the 30th
June and the 2d July, there were also contested elec-
tions in the same boroughs? These occurrences are,
we have no doubt, quite sufficient to account for the
greater average increase of the deposits in June, July,
and August, 1837, 1838, 1832, over those in the same
months of 1839 and 1840 ; and again, for the magni-
tude of the depos t 4, as compared with repayments, in
the same three months of 1841. It may he observed
further, however, that both in July, 1837, a❑d July,
1841, there were five Saturdays, which, being the ge-
neral day on which wages are paid, is here, a❑d we
hive no doubt in many or most other parts of the king-
dom, a day on which a much larger proportion than or-
dinary of deposits arc always made. Manchester

COMMISSIONER OF GREEN-

IV IC II 1 i OST'ITAL.

The appointment of the Honourable Charles Hope
to a Commissionership of Greenwich Hospital, not
vacant by death or resignation, is the commence-
ment of the good old Tory policy, and forms a pro-
per commentary on an article which appeared in the
last Quarterly Review, entitled " The Old and New
Ministers." In alluding to the changes and ap-
pointments made by the late Administration in June
last, and, among others, to that bestowed on the
Member for the city of Aberdeen, the Reviewer in-
forms us " That Mr. Bannerman wanted a place—a
permanent place , and there were two or three
chances that the Greenwich one might he of that
comfortable class. Sir Robert Peel, in his known
moderation and disposition to indulgence, might be
induced to wink at the flaw in Mr. Bannerman's
title ; or, what was more likely, Mr. Bannerman,
who was threatened with a contest, might be
bectea ; and then, being out of Parliament, Sir Ro-
bert would surely not be so bard-hearted as to remove
him ; or, finally, one vote being no longer quite so
valuable as it had lately been, Mr. Bannerman, a very
loyal gentleman, might, perhaps, not be disposed to
offer any factious opposition to her Majesty's Govern-
ment, in which case all would be safe and snug. We
know not how far these surmises may be well-
founded, but we do know that they afford the only
explanation we can imagine fer the notorious facts,
and they are certainly not inconsistent with the
practice of the very worst jobbing administration which
ever exited, and which only existed by jobbing !" The
" known moderation and disposition to indulgence" of
Sir Robert Peel has been strictly exemplified in Mr.
Banoerman's case : that" very loyal gentleman" has as
yet had no opportunity of offering any opposition, factious
or otherwise, to her Majesty's Government, but he has
been, nevertheless, dismissed ; and, if report speaks truly,
not very ceremoniously. As we consider this disposition of
" moderation and indulgence" on the part of the
Premier to be somewhat unusual, we have been at
pains to ascertain under what tenure a Commissioner
of Greenwich Hospital holds the appointinew, and
we find during the Secretaryship of the Right Honour-
able and Learned Gentleman Mr. Wilson Ceoker en
Act was passed for the better management of the
Hospital. Five Commissioners were appointed, two of
them ex officio ; the Cniet Commissioner of Woods and
Forests, and Paymaster of the Navy, without salaries,
and three others who were named in the Act, whose sal t-
ries are provided to be paid from the funds of the Hos-
pital, and not from the Treasury, as Government official'
salaries are paid. The Lords of the. Admiralty have the
appointment of all officers connected with the Hospit ile
and have the power to dismiss there for
misconduct, with the exception of three Com—
missioners, who hold their appointments by
letters patent from the Sovereign, and during
her Majesty's plsasure, as all such patents are held.
The "moderation and indulgence" of S;r Robert
Peel, therclore, may prompt him some morning
to dismiss the gentlemen who were lately Mr.
Bannerman's colleagues. But it will be said that
Mr. Bannerman holds a seat in Parliament,
which they do not, and was elected after accept-
ing the appointment. Lord Auckland, a Whig
peer, one of the Commissioners named in the
Act of 189, continued to sit, aye, and to vote, in Par-
!lame as he chose, while be held the same appointme at.
Ou the death of the late sir. Creevy, Mr. Sh. ail
succeeded, and resigned on being appointed Vie:-
President of the Board of Trade ; when the Hon.
W. Copper was appointed, and he resigned in
June last, on being made a Lord of the Treasury..
Mr. Bannerman succeeded, and was dismissed last
Thursday. So much for a patent place, provided it
is not held by a Tory ; and Sir Robert Peel has
thus established a precedent which to any future
Government may be found a very convenient one,.
Whether the member for Aberdeen intended to (of-
low Lord Auckland's example, or whether he ex-
pected, from the " known moderation" of the Pre-
mier, what the Right Honourable Baronet so ear-
nestly claims for himself, " a fair trial," we arc not
aware ; but his dismissal from an office, to which
no administrative duties are attached, could not
be postponed until February, when the Honour-
able Gentleman might have judged of the great
measures then to be propounded to Parliament, for
fate had decreed that the Hon. Mr. Hope, brother
to Lord Hopetoun, had also measures in contempla-
tion, which, unlike the affairs of the State, could not
lie over tiil February. The Honourable Mr. Hope
" wanted a place," such a one as would enable hies
to bring his matrimoial merteures to maturity. Green-
wich Hospital was one of that corrdortable class ;
and "if he could get it," ae the Quarterly says,
" all would be safe and snug." We know not how
far this surmiee may ba well-founded, but we do
know that it afforde the only explanation we can
imagine for the notorious fact. Thus commences the
Tory regime, arid, with Colonel Perceval's trans-
ference from the Treasury to a patent appointment I
may furnish material for the first chapter, to use the
Quarterly's appropriate title, of the " Book of Jab"
of the Peel Administration. That its continued his-
tory !tray prove a useful lesson to future Governments
we entertdu but Lttle Luba—Chronicle.

THE METROPOLITAN ROADS.--011 Monday
a meeting of the inhabitant rate-payers of the parish of:'
Hammersmith was held, pursuanz to public notice, "to
receive a communication from tho Ilrentford Gas Cotn•
pany relative to discontinuing the lighting on the Me-
tropolis Turnpike-loads after the 7th instant, and to take
.such steps thereon as may be deemed advisable." The
Vicar (the Rev.' Mr. Attwood) was in the Chair.• In
the course of his address the Chairman stated, that of
late years the tolls along the Kensington and Brentford
Consolidated Roads had fallen off to the extent of
16,0001., and that the Commissioners had, in conse-
quence, taken high legal opinions as to their obligation
to continuo the lighting, which opinions were decidedly
that they were not compelled to do so. The expense of
lighting the Kensington and Brentford Consolidated
Trust was 2,0001. ; and the tolls on those roads were at
thepresenint momentrepainlmet at 2 0001. less than the expense
incurred
, them. After a great, deal of dis-
cussion, ts motion to the effect that it was desirable that
the lights on the high-road should be continued ; an(li
also that other parts of the parish which could with pro-
pri!ty be lighted should be so, was carried by a large
majority, as was also a motion of Mr. Miller for the ap-
pointment of a Committee to confer with other parishes,
and report to 4 future meeting.
