CAVING BANKS.
Mr. ROSE, after some remarks on the general uti-
lity of Saving Banks, moved for leave to bong in a
Bill' to regulate them better than at present.
Sir CHARLES MONCK did not mean to np.
pose the Motion, but repeated his objection attains:
the money lodged in these Banks being placed inns:
Public Funds, and thought this deserved some tit-
tendon. It was idle to dream of abolishing fc'r
Rates by the institution of such Banks, as the ;:tia;
was impossible.
Mr. CUKWEN lamented the great.evils athing
from the poor rates, and said this year ten mili7no
would be called for by rates and subscriptions.
would only mention Leeds as a melancholy prn,-.t
the alarming pressure of these rates :—one I :-:7) ri
120 acres was at Ibis moment paying or.e !.vo;:. a
week for the poor, and the funds already cal :e:•11
were so exhausted. that there was no uttdcrit r:!
what could be done at the end of six seeks.
number of applicants, in addition to the regular pu,
already exceeded 800. He thought some coerLi:c
measures necessary to make individuals alive to the 4
own interests, and to see the necessity of doing sone--
thing for themselves. The Property Tax had lie .:t
very proicrly abolished, and was some relief, hi't
still the burden arising from it was light co:npaiel
with that of the rates. He hoped something to al,.
viate that burden would be dune before the Samoa
was terminsted.

Mr. ROSE said he never meant to be und•rstood
.is saying that the Institution would ab •lish the We:
at once ; on the contrary, he had said it would begin
the work of abolition. He had so fully detailed nit
opinion respecting these Banks last Session, as to tea-
der it unnecesser y now to go into the subject at lengll4.
He might probably do so on a future opportunity.
Mr. WILBERFORCE was glad to seu siici il.
stitutions patronised by the House, as be telt Ce;r
deep importance, and the advantages they w 041.1
produce not only to the personal comforts, but ta ni
•moral improvement of the individual. It was to,
ginning the work of abolishing the Rates, arii v.,.::!1
aiso tend to cherish in the minds of Englistanen 1.4: '
independence of feeliii4 which every man 011'.! V)
feel. The work of abolition must be slow, L. -.t.h,
if slow, it would be gradually going on, and w4;ul.i .1.,
much good. There could be no object m. re r.:.ar i
lying to an-honest heart than the patronizing •••,;•r1
institution which had for its object the atn?iim.c:,..
of the condition of the wretched, and the caltiva...o,
