SUFFOLK BANK,
Dma A. n rc

OGEFOLA DAhks
Boston. October 9, 1858
For the expenses Of the foreign money system
Of the Suffolk Bank, the bank finds its remuuer.
alton in the use Of the deposits Of the various
banks OF New England. As no other general
mode Of compensation has ever been thought Of
the maintenance Of the system depends upon the
continuance Of these deposits. To place the
banks Withdrawing on the same footing as before
withdrawal, is OBVIOUSLY inconsistent with the
plan OF keeping up the system BY means of de-
posts.
The Suffolk Bank system has been conducted
for thirty years on the principle of sending home
for payment in specie the bills which we receive
OF those banks which have withdrawn their de-
posits. We consider this indispensable to the
system, and that it would be futile to attempt to
carry 1t on without the power Of enforcing il.
In continuing this redemption system. the SUI
folk Bank has had for mnny years no motive be.
yond that OF securing to the community q con-
tipuance OF its acknowledged benefits. The la
Dor, expense, and risks of the business have been
equal to any remuneration received from the uso
of the deposits,
We cannot consent any longer to have the
bank placed in the position, as is charged against
US, OF carrying on this business merely for its
profit, nor can we be expected to stand out
against public opinion. prejudiced and excited,
IN sustaining system however beneficial TO the
public, after Il becomes unremunerating, and
hazardous to the stockholders of the bank. The
Suffolk Bank system is now conducted theoreti-
cally and practically, precisely it has been in
the past. II public sentiment is now against it,
and if it is less appreciated by the trading com
munity and the city banks than heretofore, the
cause is not to be found in the mode OF pursuing
it.
The time has arrived to surrender our agency
in the system as heretofore conducted. Our re.
sponsbility in it must now cease
Because its main feature, the right to send bills
home for specie, cannot be given up without de-
stroying its efficacy.
Because our exercise Of this right is effectualy
made use Of, BY those hostile to the Suffolk Bank
system. to place the bank in false attitude be.
fore the public; and
Because, under existing circumstances, the
bank does not wish to stand in the way of trial
Of the attempted experiment of foreign money
system, to be conducted on less stringent prin.
cpes.
We shall continue to receive country money
from the banks as heretofore, subject to condi-
lions that il may perhaps be found necessary
hereafter TO make.

the house Of the pastor, Rev. ], 6. Adams, on
Monday evening last. large number Of chill
dren with their parents and friends, assembled at
an early hour. The pastor threw open his doors
and his heart, and bid them come in and have
merry time. The little girls and boys did the
singing nicely, under the training of the PASTORS
wife, who feels deep interest in this young Band
Of Hope. The pastor made very appropriate
address to the children, and then called upon J.

some timely and appropriate remarks and then
the children we're allowed to have social time
among themselves. This Band was formed last
Summer, and numbers about one hundred and
fifty members. They are prospecting finely, and
should be encouraged. They are to have such
meetings as they had Monday evening, once a
month. Success to them. we say.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 1.-THE city has gone

The returns from the Northern part of the

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. Secretary Cass,
having recovered from his recent sickness,
was today at the State Department where he
was to have an interview with General Jarez.
BY appointment, but the latter sent an apollo
gp for not meeting his engagements One of
the conditions on which he was received as
special minister was, that he should deliver
the Cass- Yrissari treaty as originally framed !;
this he has denied to various gentlemen, but
the State Department is in possession of the
names of those to whom he made the declar.
alton. There is no doubt but that
he will be dismissed should he much
longer hesitate to comply with this
condition. The object of the instruc-
tons recently issued to our naval forces
was specifically to protect the rights and pro.
perty of the Canal Company, in connection
with the Transit Company.

A GENEROUS DEED.-wicked as, in the esti-
nation Of croaking philosophers, this old world
of ours Is fast becoming. the following little incl
dent will serve to show that the race Of honest
men is not yet quite extinct;
A few evenings ago, young lady, passing near
the City Hall, in this city. on her way home from
the Post Office, opened letter which contained
a considerable sum of money. A fresh breeze
blowing at the time, mischievoIs gust of wind
had the impotence to snatch the paper treasure
from the half-opened letter and hide it away
among the dry leaves that we're rustling along the
sides Of the street. Not long afterwards, a young
gentleman, clerk in Lovell's agricultural ware
house, had the good luck to find this hopelessly
lost money. He Immediately advertised it in the
Daily Spy. and soon had the satisfaction to re-
turn it to its rghtful owner, generously refusing
even the slightest compensation for his services.
AS this is not the FIRST generous deed Of it's kind
which might be mentioned to the credit Of this
young gentleman, we deem it worthy Of publcs-
ton, and, especially, as such little occurrences,
like fables. may serve to point a MORAL: First
and leaSt-Young ladies and their relatives, gen.
orally, should be little cautious how they open
and read letters in the public Streets Second and
all important-The noble traits of character
which the circumstances attending the finding
aud returning of this money have proved this
young to possess, will, through the whole
pilgrimage of life, be to him a treasure such as
gold was nevea able to purchase and long as he
may live, it will be contrary to what the wisdom
OF all ages has taught, if he ever regrets having
thus early learnt the great truth, that HONESTY
Is THE BEST Policy"

Both Houses of the English Parlia-
ment are parallelograms, with rows of long
