Savings Hanks. THEIR OIUGIN AND THEIR OBJECTS. i Some interesting facts ir relation io Saving JlanKs, are given in the New York Evening Fosti The- originf these institul ions is attributed to Rev. Joseph Smith, of Wt udover, , EngJand,Mnj the year 1791). A 113' sum !rom two pence up- waras, was received every Sunday evening uiiagj the summer months, and the money was promis-j ed to be returned at Christmas, with ihe addi-j lion ot one-third, as a bounfy upon the depositor's! economy. The nest institution was established! in 1801, by Mrs. Priscilla Wakefield, who kept: the accounts, and was assisted by six gentlemen,! who-ucted as trustees, cacli agreeing to receive an eijiial jiart ot the sums ceposited, and to allow he per cent, on all sums of twenty shillings and upwards, to such depositors as agreed to leave their money for at least a year in their hands. The first savings bank rejrularlv brought before the public, was the " Taiisi Friendly Rank So ciety," of Ruthwell, England,: formed by 3Ir. j llenry iuucan, who published au account of his j institution for the rurpose cf cncourajriiifi the formation of Iikc .cstablishm'bntsi and it is owinj to the example thus set tha previous to the year Lblt there were seventy pavings banks estab n.:ea in alancl, lour in Wales, and lour in ! frc,a:nd-. 1.hus raPlui' did tho people compre honri Jinn soift nnnn tbt hcud and seize unon the aflvantares oiFerer tv . - r . 7 c J these excellent fosterers of economy and thrift.

The interest paid to the trustees of the savings blanks for the- money thus invested was o l(Js ijl per cent, per an num, while the rate allowed to depositors was not, in any case to exceed 8s 5d per cent.

And thus bewildered by this process of false reasoning, they continue to crowd their Unwelcome epistles upon me. Is it possible that ladies can carry on "world without end" -an ejeparte correspond ence? ; ( The Flats give mo to understand in fiat terms where they stand. After a few visits they tell me they lovo me and solicit me to become their bridegroom, I tell them promptly that I do not love them, am sorry that I do noi; appreciate the highly as friends, wish them all the good luck imaginable, and hope they, will continue their visits. Chagrined and mortified they go away, and straight-way begin to fortify themselves that is to say, prepare themselves with answers, should the' be asked if they addressed me. And 1 am informed that their answers are similar to the following : One saya "I never dreamed of such a thins; could'nt uet him if I wanted him, would'nt have hiiri if I could." Another says ".-he thought at cno time she would have him, but upon reflection concluded differently," (sure cuouiih she did.) A third says " she ad dressed him atid found it t-uch an easy " cuing came" that she thought . htm too anxious, and thereupon dropped the subject.' A fourth says Hie has no rccomineudatiou but his purse, and that she would marry no man for his purse." The fifth, a Utile more honest than the icst, makes no answer at all except by risibles, hoping iby this means to shun- the question. All these take me at my word, and continue their visits. As a matter of course I . treat them politely, for how could I treat a lady otherwise ? This civili ty and politeness they construe into affection, and the first thing I know, up they jump and " pop the question" again.

To Richard Henry Lee Dear Sir : I take' tne jiberty to ask you what Congress expects 1 am to do with the many foreigners tUlmve at difterent times been r,romnteH in th,-. r.i oncers, and by their last resqlvb, two to that cf colonekr.' These men have no attachment fur the country further thaii interest binds them Our oflicers thinif exceedingly hard, after they have toiled in. the service and hav- suMam-d many losseto have strangers put over them, whose merit perhaps is not equal to their own but whose effrontery will take no denial. It is by ma seai ana activity ct our own pocple that tho oausc must be supported, and not by the few hungry adventurers; I am, &c, - GEORGE WASHINGTON. , . 4riDDLEBANK, June 1, 1777.

To Governor Morbis, Esq, Dear Sir: The design of this is to touch cursorily upon a subject of very great importance to 'the being of these States much more so than will appear at first view I mean the appointment cf so many foreigners to offices of high rank and trust in our service. The lavish manner in which rank has hitherto been bestowed on these gentlemen, will certainly be productive cf one or the other of thoe two evils, either to make us despicably in tlu eyes of Europe, or become a means of pouring them in upon us like a torrent, adding to our present burden. Uutis neither the expense nor the trouble of them I most dread ; there is an evil more exten sive ia its nature, aud fatal in its consequences to be apprehended, and that is, the driving of all our officers out of tho service, and throwii.- not only our own army, but our military councils, en tirely iuto the hands of ' forijnii .. fit iV i i j nc omcers, my aear-sir, on whom vou mu depend fcr the defence of the cause, di slinguwh. i erit, will ...U,. ed by length of service and military mcr not suDimt mucu, u any, loncrcr, to the unnatu ral promotion of men over them, who have no- i thing more than a little plausibility, unbounded 1 pride and ambition, and a perseverance in the I i;ft . ... I E I 11 IUUI JU . tUIIAUIlA, HOC lO be resisted but by uncommon firmness ; men w.ro, in the first instance, say they wish for nothing more than the honor of serving so glorious a cause as volunteers; the next day solicit rank without pay; tho day following want money ad vanced to them ; and in tho course of a Week watjt further promotion. The expediency and ptolicy of the measuie remain to be considered, and whether it is consistent with justice or pru dence to promote military fortune hunters at the hazard of our army. Baron Stenben, I now find, is also wanting to quit his inspective of much discontent, in a word, although I think the IJaron an excellent officer, I do most devoutly wish that we had not a single foreigner amongst us, except the Mar quis dc lafayette, who acts upon very different principles from those which govern the rcit, Adieu.
