The last session of par- in PEXIAL AVEbtrAn is, ' hament, like many of its predecessors, had proved, by its barrenness, that a reform of tho House of Commons was aeeerary to the attainment of cheep government and good legislation. That which had long been considered sweetie' by the people had at length been confessed to be se by the minister, and they were promised a new measure of reform. What the nature and extent of that measure would be must depend upon the people themselves. if they remained lukewarm and indifferent, it would be small as the widow's mite ; but if they were zealous and resolute, they might look for a wise and comprehensive measure of electoral reform. (Hear ' hear.) He had heard that day, as he bed heard frequently, that they ought not to disturb the people; that things were all well ; that employer and em*yed were cacti satisfied. Well, that was the very OM ut all others in which they should prosecute the good work. When there was peace, when there was Om for thought, when there was no irritation,—then ' weld they approach the important subject in the spirit of justice and philanthropy. Refute speaking further on that most important subject, he would refer to a question upon which much diversity of opinion existed, even amongst re formers themselves; that upon which the greater portion of the session had been wwited—the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. ' He voted on that question as he then and still thought was in strict accordance with the principles which first recent ' mended him to that numerous and intelligent constituency. A friend to perfect religions equality, and consequently in favour of the withdrawal of all preference and support by the state from any particular worship or formula of faith, he desired to see each church stand on its own merits— (applause)—he was opposed to all coercious, all legal pro hibttions, all pains and penalties; he would neither patronise on toe one head, our proscribe on the other. (Hear.) He held kis erns religious views firmly, and they were iu direst willegenen to the views of those who had re. easily wand se Much dissatisfaction by their ostentatious and unnesemary display. (Cheers.) But for the safety dOm lbws, and for a victory over that which be be to be error he was content to trust to thelr ealterent power and efficacy. (Hear, bear.) Ali a prowetent episcopalian he held the right of private judg ment in matters of faith and religion, and that which be Maimed for himself he must allow to others. (Cheers.) He voted against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill also as a smatter of policy. Whatever had the appearance of 'terse onion was sure to strengthen the views of the aralikel, and la produce an effect the opposite of that which was ir. Waded. Pereecution might have made heroes and martyrs. , bat it had never made converts; sad if ecclesiastical power I mast be abridged, it could only be by enlightening the minds and freeing the souls of men, not ley statutory emestments, or by the enforcing of temporal penalties % Ais a Mend to protestant truth, he believed he was better to confute and live down what be conceived to C ig error, than if he had supported the Ecclesiastical', Titles Bill. (Cheers.) lie rested hie justification on the grounds that the principles he avowed and still cherished required that vote. He defended it upon policy as well as upon principle, and if he mistook not, the results of that measure would illustrate and sustain the soundness of the view ho had taken upon that most vexatious question. All he asked was a fair consideration et the motives which induced him so to vote, and a refer ence to the principles he had ever avowed. (Hear, hear.) Leaving to those whom he addressed the duty of questioning him upon any points which might require explanation, he would pass from himself to matters of national importance. If the six months of the session were unproductive of geed to the people at large, they were months of activity to him self -, and if he found his efforts to serve the popular cause in lie House of Commons unsatisfactory, he sought to eimpensete by exertions out of doors, where, he was _eeeiteCTlVE FIRE IN THE NEW KENT-ROAD. — convinced, the preliminary work had to be done.

THIS DAY. Two o'Ctocx. The English stock market opened with a some what better appearance this morning, though the price remained the same as yesterday afternoon, Consols ruling at 96'4 to for money, and 961 to for the 14th October. Some money sellers offering, the price was kept down for a short time at this quotation, but, with the support of a further pur chase on government account, and some speculative operations for the rise, the market quickly ad vanced, and is now firm, at 961 to for money, and 901 to 97 for time, the continued decline of the French funds, as reported by this morning's Paris mail, exercising no effect. The Paris exchange on London comes the turn higher, at 25fr. 22 ?.c. for short, and from various quarters the recent rise in the exchange is bringing forward bullion remittances. Thus the Frank lin steamer, from New York, has brought over eight hundred and thirty-two thousands dols. on European account,of which232,ooo dols. is for London ; the bmperor steamer, from St. Petersburg, 45,0001. ; • and the Tagus, from the Levant, the large amount of 89,000 L, besides a notification of further ship ments by next packet. Specie is also coming for ward by several of the American liners. To-day's official business figures are as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols ' 94;1, ; ditto for account, 9tl}, 97, 964 ; Indian Stock, 4 2601. The market for Exchequer Bills is generally firmer, and, with an increased inquiry, the price of the smaller classes of bills has been put Is. higher, purchasers offering at 475. prem. The larger amounts have been dealt in to a fair extent at 465. and 435. premium, being yesterday's rates. India Bonds are very quiet. In the foreign stock market to-day there have been only a few ordinary money transactions, and no spe culative operations except in Spanish, which is heavy, with the price of the Active Bonds reduced to 20g. The new Sardinian loan appears to be coming rather more into favour, and the bonds have to-day been transacted at 821. With the obligation of paying up the instalments as they fall due, however, the scrip meets with no inquiry, though there can be no doubt that after the completion of the payments, the last of which is duo on the Ist DeeemhZ,r ' this stock will take a firm position in the market tor invest ments. On the 21st inst. falls due the fourth instal ment of 10 per cent., making 00 per cent. paid up, and leaving 25 per cent. still to be met. Peruvian Bonds are to-day marked with the half-year's divi dend oft; at 881. The transactions of the morning are thus recorded in the official list: Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. 59, dittoFourperCent.Ccrts., 901, ex div. French : three per Ceut. Rentes,s6fr. 23c.; Exchange, 2.3 fr. 20c. Peruvian Five per Cents., 1819, 881 cx div. Russian Five per Cents., 111; ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1011. Sardinian Five per Cents., 821. Spanish Active Five per Cents., for account 17th October, 201, ; ditto Passive, 51, ; ditto Three per Cents., 37'4,1. _ • We yesterday gave an estimate of the amoun coming into circulation at the present time and at an early period for dividends on English and foreign stocks and railway shares. This gave an amount of nearly twelve millions, but it by no means represents the whole resources of revenue brought to bear at the present moment on the money market. There are smaller items for dividends in canals, gas com panies, water-works, banks, and assurance compa nies. One large amount is for the agricultural rents due at Nlieliaehnas and Martinmas, and which in many districts will include a half-year's rent, though in others, it is limited to a quarter's. The total amount may be fairly token at thirty millions. Besides this are the quarterly terms for house rent. Thus a mass of pe riodical payments will be made by the end of this month or early in November which may fairly be estimated at fifty millions. The proportion of this which will be available for investment in the va rious markets cannot well be ascertained, but if taken at a fifth, it would give a sum of ten millions to be invested in English and foreign stocks and in railway shares. The specific security which may come into favour there are no means of pointing out, but a considerable effect on prices generally in the several markets is to be anticipated if no foreign po litical movement disturbs the progress of affairs here. The public are evidently disposed to invest at pre sent rates in English stocks, but railway stocks likewise meet with attention, although the ultimate choice of investment is very much guided by the temporary . state of either market, high prices driv ing away investers in consols, and low prices fright ening them out of the railway market. A corresponding financial movement is to be ex pected in the markets of Paris and Amsterdam, and if political quiet is maintained, a favourable influ ence will be produced here by the high prices of the foreign stocks, in which the English are interested. The annual general meeting of the Gresham Life Assurance Company was held yesterday afternoon, and proceedings were going on at a late hour, a large number of shareholders being assembled. The cause of the interest excited will appear in the following circular, on which we forbear to comment until the sense of the shareholders has been ascertained by the ballot at the adjourned meeting. The ease is cer tainly one of the most extraordinary in the annals of joint-stock companies. TO THE PHOFEIETORS Or THE ORESHASI LIFE ASSCiI SECS SOCIETY. Gentlemen,—At the lint general meeting of the Gresham j i Life Assurance Society, after the balance-sheet had been read, I asked some explanation as to the items fur interest I as I found that the loans stood thus :--In the first balance sheet, at 9,6801.; in the second ditto, 17,0001.; making total of loans, 26,6861. While the amounts for interest re- ' eeived were put down as follows the first balance sheet, 89/. 14s. Id. ; in the second ditto, 320/. 125.; making total iaterest on 26,6861. in two years, 4101.65. Id., a sum so totally disproportionate as naturally to call fur inquiry . ; on that occasion no satisfactory explanation was offered, and immediately after the meeting my father (one of the direc tors) was called upon by a clique of directors to compel me to give up my interest in the society, and thus prevent me having the power of seeking further information. On his objecting to use any undue influence with me, and at the same time stating that he considered I had the right, as a shareholder, to ask any questions bearing upon the accounts submitted for confirmation to the shareholders, the direc tors have ever since offered hint every annoyance in their power, and have attempted virtually to turn him out of the direction, by excluding him from all the committees of the board, by refusing to recommend him for re-election at the next meeting, and by starting a candidate against him, who was not a shareholder in the society until July in this year. In asking the questions I did, I was actuated by no factious or sinister motive; my only object being to obtain informa tion, and that I was justified is proved by the defective state of the balance-sheet, as before pointed out. It is for you to determine whether a shareholder has or has not the right of ascertaining the condition of the com pany, and by so doing, of vindicating the independence of the shareholders and directors, and the free right of choice in the election. I therefore appeal with confidence to my brother shareholder, to support me in the exercise of my rights, and to give their support to the re-election of Mr. Britten, and thereby prove to the directors that the inde pendent shareholders will be no party to the course they have taken upon themselves to pursue; the lust fow years fearfully attest the importance of shareholders looking after the affairs of the company in which they are partners ; bad such right been exercised much of the misery which the shareholding public, and their families, are now suffering, might have been saved. Ido trust, therefore, the share holders in the Gresham will not allow themselves to be offiee-ridden, but act on the occasion so as to remind the directors of the fact, that the framers of the Joint Stuck Companies' Act intended the annual general meetings to be occasions at which all the partners in a jonit-stook makigitrizaiit4Fassughasoguerldtiothaswiefmsoitelthe eo f f o fu r t 2i re e 7ffs pi d rpose r.pot o ut. f tes se c e o li r l t il i t w.h r ay i siecomiew n m e ig ve m. h r t w ury a as p :in a rvmm te r g.nddneed.femr.aTttlhhareeitniniPawaichet bmnfintie.ngessTp.anesnhttbono.:ll:l;b:eh7omellernrelyy.

The num ber of miles open was, in 1831, 3,772 b and in 1850, 3,6371; being an increase of 11.1 miles, or 3 per cent. The aggregate average return per mile per week was, in 1831, 63/. los. 2d., and in 1830, 51/. I Is. led.; so that the diftimence remains in favour of the present year to the extent of 91. Is. Id. per mile per week—a result which sufficiently attests the vast increase of movement pervading every part of the kingdom; whilst the extraordinarily largo figures of the various metropolitan lines, as com pared with the same week in last year, when the advance of the season produced a considerable reduc tion, would tend to prove that the Exhibition pos sessesau almost undiminished attraction for our friends in the country. A good illustration of the avidity with which the ever-ready spirit of speculation avails itself of an opening is to be found in the course of the railway share market since the World's Show be came a tangible reality. In Aril, May, and June, before the receipts had become in the least affected, the prices of every line in the kingdom, in cluding, singularly enough, Scotch and Irish lines, upon which the influence of the Exhibition might be expected to prove the reverse of beneficial, were carried up with extraordinary rapidity . by a vast speculation, which appeare to originate in London, and thence extended into every . minor pro vincial market, " little-go" speculators in hundreds lending their aid to swell the movement, and, as a natural consequence, the gains of its first promoters. The next phase of the markets was the usual reac tion, the striking anomaly being for months ob served of falling prices and immensely auo menting receipts, so that, in fact, the realisa tion of the anticipations indulged in was at tended with every external sign of disappoint ment. It is only . within the last three weeks that the market has given proof of being affected by tho greatly increased resources of the various lines, tho effect of which upon the pockets of the shareholders must of course be strikingly apparent at the next dividend period. Whatever disappointment may have been excited by the discouraging views taken of the future of railway property by parties to whom the public have been accustomed to look up for coun sel, let figures speak for themselves, and as an in stance we would refer to the ag gregate receipts of the London and North Western Company since the beginning of the current half-year ; they amount to no less than 814,7191., being an augmentation of 169,306/., or full 26 per cent. oser the return at the corresponding period of last year. An examination of the weekly receipts of other lines will show them to bo in an almost equally flourishing condition. The returns this week are swelled by several perio dical occurrences. Thus the Great Northern is largely increased by the Doncaster Races; the London and North Western, ;and the other lines converging upon Manchester, by the Manchester races; the London and North Western, also, by the Bedford races; the York and North Midland (Hull and Selby branch), by the great horse fair at owden ; the London and South Western, by Winchester great sheep and lamb fair ; the Brighton, by Lewes great sheep fair ; and tho Great Western by Reading fair. - The check to the upward tendency of the market for foreign exchanges, noticed lust poet, was con firmed to-day, prices being in most cases a shade lower, owing to the arrivals of gold, and a mom plentiful supply of bills on London abroad.
