A large uumber of the people of Souris are engaged iu fishivg, and at certaiu seasons of the year have a goodly sum of money earved; but, not having a safe place for deposit, often spend it fuolishly. The Bank ageucies established there do not take less than $100 00 on deposit. Few of the people have that amount to deposit at ove time, and therefore are prevented from opesivg a bank account. But if a Bran«l of the Savings Bavk were established, small deposits would be accepied, a begiuuing would be made, the habit of saving would be inaugur- ated, aud the result would be a lastirg benefit to many people who allow thei: hard earviogs to slip through their

fiugers without showing apy good result. |

We bope the Goveroment will give the matter its attention, aud see its way clear to give the fishermen of Kiny’s County a safe place to save their earuings.

The batiie occurred near Metemneh. An army of 10,000 rebels attacked a square, in which the British forces were advancing, several times, but were compel- led to retire. The rebels lost 800 killed and 800 wounded, while the English lost 6D. One immediate result of the battle is that many of the rebels are subwitting.

Another account of the Eyyptian fight places the number of Arabs at 8,000 to 10,000. The space in front of the British right flank was a veritable slanghter pen,
