London ? With respect to the manner in which
the futok were to be distributed, it was barely
possible t hid noire of the money should be called
for by individuals, and that one or two empora-

e)ver'io this cointiry, where they spent tht_ir rents,
and yet they were Ole people to wino a short
measure allowed. He hoped the Rigia lion,

SAVING BANKS' DILL

Mr. Rost?. moved the Order of the n►y =for a
-tommitiee all the Saving 'Banks' Bill. At so
late an hour, and it: so thin a House, he would
.trot enter into the discussion of tl►e Bill, and there-
fore he wished that it should now be committed,
so that it might be printed, and on Friday next the
might • be discussed. There was one clause
which he. had to propose on which considerable
Aifficolty had been: felt.. It related to the security
.on which deposits sh'onld be invested. The diffi-
culty hailh.ten to fitul a fund which should not be

liable to flue; Hat ion. After much consideration, it
bad bre() found best to.place the deposits to the Ac-
count of the Conimissioners for liquidating the pub.
lie debt. By doing so, interest wpuld bo secured at
the rate of three, pence a day on every 1041. Ile-
po3ited, or 41. I Is. per cent. per annum, which,
allowing for the expellees of management, would
afford the depositors a clews' interest of 41. per
cent, per annitin, and the fund on which
posits thus be invested would not be liable
to any fluctuation, as it would be if it were in•
vested in the funds. : -
