SAVINGS usu.
Mr. ROSE brought up his Bill for the protection
of Savings Banks. He was anxious to offer a few
remarks, even in that early stagy. The present Bill
contained the same clauses as the Bill that passed the
House last Sessioo. He bad hoard, amongst other
objections, that the parties subscribing to those Pro-
vident Institutions, did not interfere for Legislative
protection, and therefore it was argued to be unne-
cessary. When in the year 1796 he broset in the
Bill for the regulation of the Friendly Societies, the
Members of those Associatioas did not then amount
to more than 56,000 persons. Subsequendy te the

Lertatite eestetteent, they iecreesed considerably.
:enribetprehooded at el; present time 800,000 sub.
With respect to the Savings Banks, there
were now 400,000 contributors. He would not assert
that such limitations would immediately effect 'a
diminution, of the tour's Rates. but they would gra.
dually produce that result, No One could doubt but
that other advantageousconsequences—such asgreater
economy, sobriety, and industry amongst the work-
ing classes, 'whilst early and improvident marriages
would most probably be checked. The investment
in the Funds was, in his judgment, the best security
against plunder ; and he thought material encourage-
ment would be derived, from restricting the Over-
seers. in the case of Paupers, from any interference
with the Principal. He wished to have the Bill read
a second time to-morrow, and have the clauses ar-
gued in the Committee.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT expressed a wish that
Ireland. in the purview of the propoied all, should
be disjoined from jingland. All the clauses relative
to the Poor's Rates could have no application to Ira-
land, while there were Many points necessary for
that part of the Kinsdern.that would not apply ler?:
Under these circumstances, friendly as he was to the
principle, he wished to be understood, as 'living
notice of ,his intention to move for leave to bnng in
a Bill for the protection of Provident Institutions ia
Ireland.

Mr. CALCR AFT observed, that he still retained
his objections to the proposed Bill. He therefore ex-
pressed a hope that the second readiuf would be
postponed until the week after next. the House ,
would recollect that the most obnoxious clause, that
respecting Paupers, had in the hut Session been dis
approved, but that in a subsequent stage the Right
Honourable Gentleman, with his friends, contrived
to get it re-inserted.
Lord MILTON could not acquiesce .in the con-
clusion drawn by the Right Honourable Gentleman,
respecting the diminution of the Poor's Rate. In his
judgment its immediate operation would go to place
on those Rates persons otherwise not entitled. The
Bill was then read a first time, add the second read.
iug fixed for to-morrow se'nnight.
