Dino Savings Instituti0n.- We notice by the
Baltimore papers that the new Dime Savings
Bank opened in that city on Monday last The
lime allotted for business was limited, bat, not
wiihslanding. nearly three hundred accounts were
opened, embracing those OF children from one year
old 10 the man of seventy winters. Il is stated
that deposits were received in sums not less than
a dime, reaching more than one hundred dollars.
Deposits can be made al any time TO suit indi-
vidual convenience.
The establishment of such an institution is much
needed, and desired in this city; and il is to be
regretted that our enterprising and trustworthy
citizens have not yet acted inthe premises. Such
a bank would be blessing TO persons who are
DESTROYS of saving something in brisk business
times 70 lay in their winter supplies, well as TO
those who, for want of an honest depository for
their 1small change expend il in way which
confers no substantial good. Tn addition, many
poor man would endeavor to pinch dime, now
and then, from the wages Of his toll, and deposit
il for the education Of his chdren or for the pur-
pose Of otherwise promoting their worldly pros
perity. II would induce 10 habits Of economy,
which, ID is well known not generally practiced
in Washington. Care, however, must be taken
that the institution, if established fall not under
the control Of shavers and spectators. The ope-
ratons, if commenced with reputable directory,
so that all classes might have firm confidence in
the conduct of affairs, could not but be prolific Of
the most beneficial results.

The SCHUYLER FRAUD-wno SUFFERS

The SCHUYLER FRAUD-WHO SUFFERS
The Report of the Directors to the Stockholders
of the New Haven Railroad concerning the
fraudulent issues of said Compsny's stock By
Robert Schuyler, but more especially the legal
opinion of Messrs. Wood aud Moves regarding the
liability Of the Company for such overissues, will
be widely received with the deepest inter-
est. Assuming that these documents fore
shadow the action of the Company concerning
it's over.issued stock, we believe il must
exercise decreasing influence over our Stock
Market ard have temporarily embsrras.-
ing but ultimately salutsry effect upon the
Foreign Market for what are, with some lat-
itude Of expression, denOminated American
"Sserriiiss." Profoundly convinced that every
facility for running in debt abroad ia a National
spare and pitfAl-thst il were far better that
we had never enjoyed credit in Europe for dol
lar, and that the peremptory and absolute with
drawal Of such credit would now be blessing 70
us--we look with complacency on eve.y act and
incident calculated to render American promises
urnarketsble across the Atlantic.
Yet we cannot scquiesce either in the logic or
the equity of the general view taken By the
Directors, much less can we perceive equity in the
conclusions of Messrs Wood and Moves. nor
sound reasoning in the process by which those
conclusiors are reached; and, as we have hitherto
fcrborne to discuss the general question. we ask
cur readers, having first considered Messrs. Wood
and NOyess train of argument to scrutinirc
closely the following:
A great fraud has been committed, and great
less thereby inflicted upon innocent parties Who
committed that fraud Certainly, Robert Schuy-
Ter, President and Transfer Agent Of the New.

CITY FINANCES.

We print this morning the Annual Report of
the Controller, issued in pursuance of the require
merts of the Charter, AID showing the operations
of the Treasury for the year ending July l, 1854.
A few days since we showed the real position and
results of the Reform movement Ct 1853 and that
article precudes tne necessity Of any very elabo-
rate comments upon Mr.. Flaggs reports. We
therefore cOnfne our notice for the present TO
the leading features OF the document before Us.
In order more fully to show the difference be-
tween last year and this Mr.. FlSgg presents the
expenditures in periods of six months each-the
first under the old Common Council; the second
under the miscalled Reform" Council. OF the
public debt it appears none ms been paid OF
during the year, though the funds for its redemp-
ton have been augmented by S577 SIP So which
increase has been invested in bonds constituting
the debt. OF the City Government expenses, we
frd for the las. half of ls53, Sl,552, 9S7 So; for
the first half of 1854, s2,l23,605 93-total,
S3,7C6,593 s.. This shows an apparent retro.
gre s.ion; but il must be remembered that the
incresse was entailed by the old Common Coun-
ell. They increased the Police expenses more
than S2OO,oO0 per year; Repairs and Supplies
very largely; Lamps ard Gas S65, 90; there
was an addition of $4,000 for the Aims
House, and about $4,000 for Street.
cleaning by the Board Of Health. OF the heavy
amount of street expenses, there was paid for
Russ pavement Sl3O,9o5; Belgian pavement.
SIS, l6i; repairing pavemeuts, S92, 202. Tnus
great portion of the heavy items of expense have
been beyond the control of the present City Gov
erument, either by State law or former contracts;
all the so-called Reform power has hsd to do
with it has been to pay without question. Among
the permanent or trust accounts, we find that
s6,436, 600 has passed through the Treasury for
the year. Ofthih $1,000, 600 WA paid on reveu.
