SAVINGS BANKS. •
yryr. ROSE should not long detain the House •in
calling their attention to an
important subject. He
aloded to Savings Banks for the industrious and la-
boring classes. Many artisans, not knowing hose
a) (twist their earnings, had spent what they received
4.1 d had no resource in case of illness. He was much
obliged to the Gentlemen of Diimfriesshire and at Bath
/owing brought Savings Banks into use. It had
bana mutter of dispute who' had been the first in•
woof of these Banks, but it was of no consequence
if it was beneficial to the public.. If men would de-.
rla shilling per week, they might be able, before
io years ot age, to establish themselves comfortably.
lie remembered one instance of a person, who had,
before g 5 years of age, accumulated £lOO, though
brevet had more than 10s. per week at one time.
uone place where a bank had been establ.shed, there
rad ben £l7 depcsi!si in the course of the first
au,. He considered, that the plan would be of much
benefit if it had the sanction of Parliament.' It would
iiciot into the people a 'spirit of real independence,
and stake them better men and better subjects. In
17sp the poor-rates were upwards of one million, and
'no they were upwards of • six millions. this mea.
sere hell ad tvery reason to believe would diminish
toe rates. He had dot the Bill ready to 'produce,
tube should now move for leave to bring iu a Bill
for the protection of Bauks for savings.
hlr. THOMPSON, thought the motion would be,
spred to, and had great hope that the propasition
aueld give much relief to the poor. The Right Ho-
;oursble Gentleman had been the means of bringing
f?trarst a Bill for Benefit Societies, which, however
ilscy eight in some instances have been abused, were
of great utility. He only hoped, that the Right
lion. Gentleman would make his plans as simple as
risible.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
thought, that the Bill would be of great benefit.—
Tbe independence of the poor must be the result of
aheiroon exertions, and their comfort would be ma-
terially increased. This proposition, and the gene-
rally diffused plans for the education of the poor,
would effect a very great reform in the lower classes.
Mr. ROSE stated, that there were 700,000 mem-
bers of benefit societies, and he thought that though
there had been some impositions practised, much be-
nefit would result from LW, adoption.
After some observations from Sir J. NEWPORT,
leave was given.

CAPTAIN MANDY.
Mr. CURICTEN alluded to the meritorious eon•,
dna of Captain Nlanby, and for the purpose of see-
ing what advantage had been taken of it, he begged
lure to move fur a copy of all correspondence be-1
men the Secretary of State for the Home Depart -1
Lent, and Captain Mauby, relative to the steps
taken for extending the measures of saving lives from
