Last, week a Meeting of the Scotch Members of.
Parliament took place m the British Coffee-house,
for the purpose of considering the expediency of the
Bill brought in by Mr. Douotass towards the close
of last Session, for the protection of Banks for Savings
in Scotland. As some difference of opinion, however,
on this very important subject, prevailed anirg the•
Members present, the meeting came, to no specific
resolution, but 'adjourned for further consideration,
until to-morrow, the 10th instant. The measure, we
doubt not, will then undergo a careful and dispas-
sionate sionate examination ; and it appears to us that the
result must be a general conviction of the weenie,'
of a protecting statute for these excellent Institutions,
in that, as well as other divisions of the Unit.
kingdom. • The chief design of the Scotch Bill, .
far as the publications in the newspapers enable atab
understand the subjeci, is to secure and define
sponsibility of Managers, and the powers of T
to remove from depositors the technical,
which, in Scotland, attend the framing of .
tary instruments—to exempt heirs and legatees from
legacy Arty, and the burdens with whith it is coo-
mined, as well as from the arbitrary apd exorbi
charges of the Scotch Commissary Court, is cases
estidirmatiort—to furnish Managers with a schedule
propinquity, a-'d other facilities, by which they may
be enabled to par undevised deposits without the i
tervention of the harpies of the Law—to grant the
privilege of freedom from Stamp duties kin the various
pecuniary and legal transactions in which the Insti-
-tions may be engaged, &c. These are simple and
practicable objects, which may be obtained without in-
convenience to Government, or to any party concerted,
,which have in effect been already granted to the
.kindred establishments in England and Ireland, and
which could not fail to communicate to the Parish
Banks of Scotland the same favourable influence
that has attended them, where the experiment haibeen
tried. They are calculated at once to give security to
Managers, and confidence to depositors—to remove
doubts, and overcome difficulties—to define what is
vague—to abolish what is detrimental, and to exhibit
Government, to the great body of the people, in the
=fill and endearing attitude of a benefactor.
a careful consideration of this subject, we
'feel constrained to agree with Mr. Duncan, the foun-
der of these institutions, who we hear is now in Lon.

section is scarcely lent for Saving Banks is

Section be refused, or even delayed, the whole mil
