SUFFOLK COUNTY NIEETINCL—A general meeting
of the ishabietileJ of this county took place y . day, at in..
Corn Exchange, &mum k .t. The chair was filled by Utes.
Earl of Stream ks, who having opened the proceeding%
Lord Rendl•ebam, M P., moved the first resolution. Sir
Pnilip Broke emended the resolution. Mr. Richard Faces,
of Eye. said he caraideral it extremely hard that a man
should be compelled to pay for the support of a church in
whose doctrines he (1:0 not believe. Ss long as church and
rata were united rtbbery would be practised, and
would be impure. A man's belief could not be
decided by act of parliament, but w■s a question
between him and his Metier. (Ch.ere.) He moved, as
an amendment, " that full religious liberty is the birthright
of every Englishman, and that any legislative interfersess
with the epieitual government of another religior, or with
any unendowed church, which claims nothing from the
Mate, is impolitic and unjitst," Mr. P. R. Welch, of Ifixtrr
Hall, a Roman catholic, seconded the amendment, which
was put and lost. The original motion was then put, and
carried amulet loud sheering. Mr. Shepherd moved the
adoption of an address to the Queen, which was agreed Lt.
The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
noble lord for presiding.

PROPOSED LONDON AND SUBURBAN BANK,—Lallt
evening a public meeting, convened by the director. of the
London and Suharbon Bank, in pursuance of a requisition
s'gned by nearly 400 inhebitenv of the parish of St.
Pewee, was bald at the Prince Albert Tavern, Ureat CJl-
lage-street. Camden Tows, for the purrs* of hearing regi-
ments of the nature and advantages of banking au the Scotch
principle, the principle on which the bank in question is to
be conducted. Oa the mono. of Mr. Terrell, Mr. Warren
was celled to the chair. Mr. Archibald Hiatus then ad-
dressed the meeting, attributing the prosperity of Scotland
to the banking system first set on foot by the satablishment
of the Bank of firdland in 169.5, and since generally adopted
in that country, and in which he said there were two main
features. One was the receipt of small deposits, even
u low as one pound, by the bankers, on which they allowed
a fair interest, and the other was the granting accommo-
dation on what was called cult credit, the persons to
whom this accommodation was given fig-ding pirsenal
' security for the repayment of the sums advanced to them.
That this principle was • sole one, so far as regaried the
public, was evident from the fact that during t►e century
and a half that jihad been in operation the sums lost by the
public did not exceed 40,0001. He then contrasted this
system with that existing in England, showing that by the
ioniser the man of small mean•, but good character, was
enabled to obtain the accommodation which was accorded
only to the large capitalist by the latter. Mr. Hall Terrell
then stated the law applicable to joii,t-rock banks, explain-
ing that by the act under which all such banks must now be
founded, shareholdere were not liable to be sued in the fiat
instance individually, as formerly, but that the corporation
must first be sued, and the shareholder could only be sued
in the improbable care of a deficiency in the general
funds, gad then he had his remedy against his co-share-
holders, who could be compelled to contribute. Mr. Lewis
moved a reenln•ion altering than there is at present no ade-
quate banking accommodation in the parish of St. Pancras,
and that from the existing banks the great bulk cf the shop-
keepers and professional men receive no advantage. This
resolution war seconded by Mr. Frier, and unanimously
passed, as were idea noire others er!.reasing confidence in
the proposed bank, and for the adoption of measures to
establish it. In answer to a question as to the locality of the
bank, the chairman said it was not yet fixed upon, but it
would be in the I ,i.,iity when they were likely to receive
the greatest support.
