NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND.

Yesterday a special general meeting of the proprietors
in this hank was held at the offices, Old Broad-street,
City, for the purpose of considering the propriety of
changing the present name of the company to that of
" The National Bank," under the power for that purpose
reserved in the deed of settlement, an .l for the purpose
of passing such resolution or resolutions as might be
deemed advisable in reference thereto.

Mr. Fowler Newsam presided as chairman, and ex-
plained that at the last annual general meeting of the
company a resolution was passed, recommending a change
in the name of the bank to meet the present and pros-
pective extension of its business beyond the limits of
Ireland. The board had eince, in compliance with this
recommendation, given their best consideration to the
subject, and had taken the opinion of three eminent
coumel, one of whom was Sir Fitzroy Kelly, as to
whether they could make the change without forfeiting
the rights and privileges they enjoyed under their char-
ter. The effect of that opinion was, that any change or
modification of the sort had been clearly anticipated and
fully provided for by the deed of settlement, and that it
might be made by the vote of "a special general meeting
of the proprietors. In conclusion he moved that, on and
after and inclusive of the Ist clay of January next, 1856
(or such subsequent day, if any, not later than the 26th
day of March next, as the court of directors shall at any
time before the said Ist day of January next think fit to
order), the name of this society be changed to and be
"The National Bank."
Mr. Wheeler seconded the resolution, which was car-
ried unanimously; as was also another resolution, moved
by Dr. Beattie, and seconded by Mr. J. L. Wheeler,
authorising the directors to carry out the object.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman and
directors, and the, meeting separated.
