LITERARY REVIEW.

ANNALS of BANKS fur SAVINGS : Containing an Account
of their Rise and Progress; Reports and Essays on their
National Importance, their Constitution, &c.; Particulars
of the Earliest Institutions; Full instructions for their
Formation, and every Detail connected with their Manage-
ment under the late Act of Parliament; together with Re-
ports and Communications from mure ,than Sixty Institu-
tions in Great Britain and Ireland. M. RICHARDS:4Np
Coruhill,.&c. &c.

We have seldom had occasion to draw the no,
rice of our Readers to a work of more utility than
the present. The institution
,of SAVINGS' BANKS
has already .been productive of most salutary
effects, and promises incalculable advantages to
atiaty in general. --The lbditor,of this work, in a
modest Pref ce, elaitipt its merithey4ticl that of
• having compiled what may be etiled " a Manual
of useful information on the subject of those be-
nevolent institutions which are equally schools
of morals,' as well as ' friends in need,' to the
industrious classes." Jr is, however, but justice
to him to state, that he has indeed spared no
pains to render his work as complete as is con-
sistent with the present state of these truly lauda-
ble institutions, and he promises a SECOND .PART,
it .the work before, us should succeed, soliciting
such hints and information as may tend to render
it still more conducive to the advantage of those
for whose benefit the institutions in question are
chiefly intended. To suppose that he will not re-
ceive such encouragement from the success of his
present work, as to induce him to proceed in his
meritorious laboars, would 'he an insult to the li-
beral feelings of the country, as' a compilation of
more practical utility, and more likely to produce
consequences generally beneficial to society, has
seldom ithued from the British. Press. We sub-
join an Extract, as a speciMen of the nature of the
work, and shall soon resume our attention to it,

more advanced in years, who may not have suf-
ficiently considered the advantages of saving, to
lay by such small sums as they can spare, against
winter or other time of need.

" Persons of either sex, depositing not less
that two-tence at one time, will he admitted to-
the benefits of this Association, on conforming
to the Rules, which may be had at the office.
" Superintendents of Schools, approved by the
Directors, are to receive deposits of the youth in
their respective schools, and account for 'he saute

to► the Directors, on the second Tuesday evening
in every month ; and as .soon' as the deposits of
any one individual shall amount to One Shilling,
such even shillings are to be transfered to the Pa-
rent Provident Institution (held at the satne house,
although under different managers), in'the names
and for the use of the depositors, or in the names
of their parents. .

" It is also intended that Visitori shall be ap-
pointed by the Directors, to call upon working
person• in the different parts of the city and out-
parts, in districts laid out on a plan similar to
that of Penny Bible Associations. That such Vi-
sitors are to give publicity to the benefits to be
derived from this Institution ; they may likewise
receive small sums from those who cannot con-
veniently attend at the office; but it is recom-
mended to all persons who can, to bring their
money themselves,
.or to send it by some, one
whom they may know, for their own satisfac-
tion.

" Tlke services of all officers concerned in this

Institution (excepting the Secretary) are to be
gratuitous ; but it will he expedient to raise a
fund, by means of voluntary contributions, for
discharging all necessary expences, such as rent
of the office, fires, candles, stationery, printing,
&c. i❑ the first place) and the .remainder of this
fund will be applied once a year, in small pre-
miums, or other marks of distinction, to such
youth or others, as may have evinced the most
deserving conduct, by their industry and saving.

" Depositors will be at liberty to withdraw
their money at a short notice; but as the object
of the Directors is to promote provident habits
among the labouring classes, it is hoped none
will do this without urgent occasion ; especially
as they will thereby forego their claim to reward.
`6 Subscriptions •in aid of this Institution are
received by Messrs. Tuffnell end Cu. Bladud

Bank ; at Uphant's LthrAry ; and by the Sect.
tary, at the Office, 6. Tpin•street.

The very great satisfaction the plan adopted in
former Lotteries gave to persons residing in the

to repeat it in the present; and he hopes he bay,

MELANCHOLY SUlClDE.—Yesterday an Inquest

Chi istchnrch,before J.W.Uswr ,K,q.on the body
of Miss Mary Simmons, a young Indy 21 years of
age, daughter of Mr. Simmons, of Rose-se reel,
Christchurch.—This young lady, atter a courtship
of near five years, was, with her parents' con-
sent, to have beenrmarried to the 'object of her
choice, a respectable young man, and one o'clock
on Monday last. was the time appointed for the
celebration of their nuptials. The ceremony, ae•
cording to the custom of the Jews, was to be ,per•
formed in the house previous to the company
in-
vitee going to dinner; the company we.reassem.
hied, the priest and btidegroom were in the house,
and a sumptuous diaper prepared for their. enter-
tainment. The in: ended bride having retil ed to
her apartment, as itiwas supposed, to dress, but
remaining too long, her sister (Miss Frances)
went up stairs to tell her to come down, but re-
ceiving no answer, she went in, and foUnd her
sister lying on the bed in a state of insensibility
as if in a fit; she gave an alarm, and the family
went up stairs, anti on the table were found a
cup of coffee and another cup empty, Which was
proved to have contained some oil or vitriol wStich
was kept in the house for the purpose of (-leaning
copper. Medical assistance was instantly sent for,
and Mr J. W. Martindale', surgeon, and Mr.
Nathan Constadt, physician to• the Portuguese
hospital, attended her, who at intervals attended.
the family for 20 years : they gave erectlcs,&e. and
revived her. On questioning her, she said, " she
had taken4ome vitriol." On asking her motive,
she said, that " she was weal y of her life, and
had something very heavy on her mina."
.She
died in 24 bouts afterwards frrim the effect of
pnison..Mr. Nathan Constadt, who was intimately
acquainted e ith them, said, that insanity reigned
in die family on the .mother's side, not app.renc
every day, but periodically. Verdict—lnsaniig.

Committee retired for that purpose with the b4l-

Soon afterwards the Committee retnroed, and.

On the motion of the Mid of Liverpool, the
Committee were orderedt6 meet to-morrow.
The Earl Of GeoseiNott adverted to what had
passed on the night before the last, with regard
to the suggestion of his Noble Friend '(the Mae-
quis of Lansdowne), to enable the Committee' to
'send tor-persons, papers, and records'; and. otr-

to obtain all the evidence• that coaltl!he procured.

He could not but regret that the Conntrittee had

however, his Noble Friend would do all in- his
power to probe to the quick the system witich-had
been acted upon by Ministers. It was,.however,
impossible that the Committee could arrive at'the
truth, atikss they had powers given them to ob-

given to them-, he had no doubt ,they would have a
number of petitions presented tti them complaia-
