Tux Directors of the Great Western and of the South Western Railways have followed the example set them by the Directors of the North Western, and published statements of their financial condition and prospects. These statements are addressed to the proprietors, end purport to be intended to diaabuse them of any doubts as to the solvency and favourable' prospects of their respective concerns that may barn been raised in their minds by the alarmist statements of the nnes and its coadjutors. But in point et het I , they are intended more to operate on the rural, public than on the shareholders. Possibly etiquette required that the directors should adopt this indirect method of enlightening the public, but it has the dis advantage of leading them to dwell with most force upon points which are only interesting t o s hareholders, and consequently to be leis full in their exposition of those matters in which alone the public is interested. In selecting the features of those statements to which we propose to direct at tention, we have been influenced solely by the consi deration of what it is important for the public to mimeos cosset information regarding and entertain sound views of. The concern which the public has in this railway l , controversy we take to be simply as follows first place, it is for the public interest that the isle and management of the companies should be sate an by warrantin g . their p e rmanent profitableness on the fair rinciples of trade, shall awn the Est possible amenut of economical WNW mailatios In the second place, it is for the = Mau* that the business of the companies be es coadueted as to ensure that they shall not, by failure or insolvency, derange the relations of the money market. This assurance can only be had by the affairs of the companies being so conducted as to I afford fair profits on the money invested in them, and by the extent of their undertakings being so limited as to preclude the necessity of extraordinary and I irregular operations in the money market. Sass , operations would of themselves inj are all beandese d commerce ; and immoderately extensive oodortabilso would, by diminishing or extinguishing profits Gni by accumulating calls, have the effect of utterly &- troy ing the value of @hares and would thus ultimately derange the money market. The necessary of the misstatements and exeggerations ti tZ have elicited explanations from the three great rail way companies in socosesion was, by creating a penis to produce artificially such a state of affairs= mismanagement on their part would have asturally. The statement of the Great Western is a proud aid confident one, which, from the conscious sieselal , implies, has a tendency to inspire confidants we are not quite certain that this feeling Ms idiom indulged in to axons. The arnounts are ealmeitted and leR in a great measure to tell their own shay. To the initiated in railway management and trams floss this may be perfectly satisfactory, but the ma jority of that public to whose good sense the appeal is in reality made, would have been none the Waal Si a little more elucidation and explanation—of some at tengietst point the moral of the tale. facts, however, cannot fail to be satiefislierys A number of contemplated railways, or portion d railway not actually commenced, are to be emporia ; their construction would have involved the useemity of raising 2,019,0001. by shares, and 670,0121. hy I loans; in all, 2,680,0121. The future capital to b e , supplied amounts to 2,460.0001., to be raised by additional shame (not required to be created before 1851), to the amount of 2,460,000!., and 359,7831.; in all, 2,819,7831.. The traffic receipts on 186 miles of railway during the year ended 30th June, 1848, were 822,7461. ; the sune average receipts on the lines to the Birmingham and Staffordshire districts would yield on 296 miles of railway, 1,310,3141. The working expenses, at 40 per cent., would amount to 524,3141., leaving 786,0001. of earnings, to which must be added for rents and interest on balances, 28,0001.—in all, 812,0001. The moiety of profits on leased railways estimated in the same way would amount to 883,1001. From these net earnings would have to be deducted for interest on mortgage loans and annual deficiency, 181,8301., leaving 701,250!. of disposable balance. The share stock is valued at 10,700,000 1 ., on which a dividend of 61. 10s. per cent. would only amount to 698 , 7501 . The additional capital which this company will require to raise within three years is not of such magnitude as to warrant apprehensions of the effects of any opera tions by which it may be ra i s ed ; and the divi,tends which the shareholders are fairly entitled to expect, even when taken in connexion with the amount and frequency of calla to which they must make up their minds to be liable, threaten no derangement of the money market by an inundation of forced sales of Barley, Shalliag, WOOL—LoNDote.—Tbere is a fair atiount of bminees doing in: the English Wcial market, and bright haired combing kinds are more in request than they were for the Yorkshire markets, in addition to which the demand for shipping is rather more activ e. Priem are firm, but no advance can Ise quoted at present. Tin market for ooloslal and foreign has been dull this week, and as public mks are to commence on Thursday sent, the 16th Inst., so banner will be done until that time.

Government would only have stood upon its legal right in withholding the royal assent from any tax ordinance the colonists might have voted : but, in stead of waiting to do so, government has forbidden them to discuss a part of the estimates • has unconsti tutionally closed the doors of the financ ial representa tives of the colony ; and has imposed and exacted illegal taxes. What the result of the ungracious contest may be, which government has thus harshly and arbi bitrarily, provoked, time alone Can determine • but enough is already apparent to show that if the ; colo nists have to succumb in the unequal struggle, the result will be a triumph of might over right. IT now lies with the people and parliament of Great Britain to decide whether the constitutiotal rights of Englishmen are to be wantonly and opprse sively trampled on in British Guiana—for government has determined to try the experiment. We rill state the facts of the case as calmly and impartially as possible before we add one word of comment. The °pealed of the sugar trade coming &se upon the heels of negro emancipation has materialy diminished for the present the value of the annnalre turns obtained from their plantations by the planters in British Guiana. This is a fact which all parties ad mit, whatever construction they may put upon it, or whatever inferences they may draw from it. As free traders, unshaken in our faith as to the beneficial in- I Ilumwe of free trade for all parties, we admit the fact, god protectionists are not likely to deny it. The genes is that the amount of property subjected ta taxa =diminished, and that the previous rates of taxa tion press with undue weight urn what remains. The Combined Court of British Guiana, in which, by the constitution of the colony, the power to impose taxes is exclusively vested, has in these circumstances re mitted to retrench the local expenditure and diminish the local taxation. Neither the governor nor the colonial office calls in question the propriety of this step; on the contrary , both of them admit that re duced expenditure and reduced taxation are indis pensable to the restoration of prosperity in the colony. The public service in Guiana is usually provided for by a tax ordinance, which remains in force from the let of July in one year to the 30th of Jane in the next. On the 20th of July last, the Combined Court met and proceeded to the order of the day— ** estimate. The first item is the civil list. The court resolved that it should be diminished from 39,0721. to 26,0721. The *governor alleging that the court had nothing to do with this item but to vote it, immediately adjourned the court sine die. The court had previously voted a continuation of thei old tax arilimaes for three months, to prevent the possibility of the colonial finances being embarrassed by a pro. tasted discussion of the estimate. The _governor subsequently summoned the Corn blued Court to meet again on the 25th of September. His laid bs&rs them extracts from two despatches of Earl GUT. Gee of these states: " I am desirous to be anderstud as leaving it entirely to the Combined Court to amider and determine what reductions can safely and properly be made ; and except as regards the civil list (on which I have already expressed my opinion in my despatch of the 15th of February), her MAsusTT's government desire to exercise no control over the financial arrangements of the court." In the other despatch Earl OBEY THE correct principle of church reform is the exten sion of the parochial system. The supply of addi tional curates, or the assistance of scripture-readers, is pro tanto an object worthy the attention it receives from the voluntary associations which are established for such purposes, though there are not wanting very serious objections against the constitution of both these societies. But to treat either as a national means of extending the efficiency of the church would be to operate with an agency quite inefficient to attain such an end. So long as our existing parochial divi sions are large and cumbrous and over-crowded, and far beyond the strength of their incumbents, aid from these societies is occasionally valuable ; but at best it is a poor substitute for an efficient ecclesiastical system ; rightly estimated they are libels on the church. When our Saxon ancestors subdivided England i n t o 9,000 or 10,000 parishes, its population did not exceed 3,000,000. Now it contains upwards of 18,000,000; yet the number of parochial dis tricts does not probably reach 14,000. What is re nuked by . the interests of religion and by the necessi ties of civilisation is, that the number of parishes should, for ecclesiastical purposes, bear some proportion to the existing and increasing amount of population. Territorial division is the foundation on which the church of England has endured through ages; but if it be not a principle that can bear expansion with the growth of society and the increase of population, it is a basis that will yield and crumble under external pressure. Its extension has, we know, been in gradual but alovrirogress ; but useful as it has proved where re sorted to, a want of system has characterised the improvements which have been accomplished; and they are now at a standstill from the ab sence of pecuniary means. In 1843, it may be recollected, Sir ROBERT PEEL introduced a Med- at sure under which the Ecclesiastical Commission se- i lien, and especially that ofth affair, has just b een Montmartre, which t oo k quired the right to borrow the capital of" Queen Anne 's the moat OCUTding ite Pt ili b i ax le .

And as public lopinion is not generally lost on Lord ASHLEY we have hopes that he will avoid the rock on which paor silly, well-meaning Sir ROBERT INGLIS was left stranded by his predecessor in Oxford's affections. We have recently shown what large funds for such an extension of oar ecclesiastical parochial system might be found in the single diocese of I wham ; and there is, in fact, saucily a capitular body in England from which means might not be obtained. While by the reduction of the extravagant scale of incomes assigned to the episcopal bench generally, and the abolition of the monstrous system on which enormous revenues were assigned to the sees of Wicchester and Durham especially, further funds might be secured. All these, however, large as they are, would be very insufficient to greatly extend the parochial system. To achieve any extension adequate to the necessities of the country it will, therefore, be indispensable to resort to a measure of something like eqa slily of ec clesiastical incomes amongst the parochial clergy them selves. Without this, any due extension of the territo rial system of the ch arch will be comparatively hopeless. With it, reliance may be placed on the willingness of the laity to contribute to the era ction of the churches that would be required, and to provide for some part of the income of the new parochial clergy—at least if the experience of the past be any guide for the future. On this point we shall, of course, be met by statistics to show that an equal division of the exist ing income of the church would only give to the pre sent race of parochial clergy some 300!. a year. To which array of figures, even if correct, the reply is that no one advocates an immediate or universal equality of parochial incomes. What is wished for, in the first instance, is, that the inordinate revenues of such livings as Doddington, with its 9,0001. a year, and as Stanhope, with its 8,000/. a year, and of such useless institutions as that presided over by the Earl of Grii.Denan at Holy Cross, near Winchester, and as that at Sherbnrn, near Durham, the head of which, the Rev. Mr. F.reen, has nothing to do, and a large income, should be so distributed as to endow some fifty or sixty new parochial districts. When that has been accomplished, the question of further equality can be discussed. There is money enough to be pro fitably laid out, if the legislature would only enable us to get at it. At all events there is no want of financial means in the case of the town of Sunderland, which we have so recently stated, to disable the Bishop of DURHAM from extending the parochial system to that town. There he has revenue enough, and to spare, to repartition the borough as its spiritual magistrates require, and as the public memorial of Gag of its constituted bodies has requested him. What will be wanting, should the Bishop of DURHAM 1 neglect this great opportunity, will not be means but goodwill. On that prelate's decision in this instance much depends; it will put to proof the important ques- 1 tion whether the heads of the church are really sincere in their wish to make that establishment commensu rate with the wants of the society—whether there is any prospect of any voluntary reform on the part of the church authorities. Should the Bishop of DURHAM re peat at Sunderland the job that was perpetrated at Houghton, any such prospect will be hopeless in deed. Something his lordship must, after our ex posure, do; but it will be quite in character with what has just been attempted in his diocese, if the measure now to be adopted at Sunderland be the least qualified to benefit thr public, and the most likely to give another fat living to another greedy aristocrat.

The Wiener Zeitnny of that date contains a proclamation of G eieral Von Cordon, head of the commission instituted by Prince Win dischgiiitz for the period of the capitulation. In this proclamation all right-minded persons are exhorted to assist the authorities, and are assured of every allevia tion compatible with a state of siege. A proclamation of the Communal Cou•cil,dated the 4th, states, bycommand of the " Central Commission" (above specified), that the communication between the city and the suburbs is restored, conditionally upon the arrest of the five individuals specified in the proclamation of the prince issued under date of the 23rd October, namely—Puleky, Beni, Messenhauser, Fenneberg, and Schutte, on which account the Com munal Council calls upon all persons with are har bouring these fire individuals to give notice thereof within six hours, in default of which martial law will be enforced against them. The intelligence of the fell of Vienna has been fol lowed in Itatibor by an emeute among the peasants. This was partly caused by a misunderstanding arising from the following circumstances: Count Arco, when officially reading to the peasants the ac count of the fall of Vienr.e, made use of some expres sions which induced the peasants to believe that the privileges guaranteed to them by the King were at stake. They repaired in a great body to the Castle, and wanted to seize the person of the Count. A shot, fired from his side, struck one of the national guards to the ground, and a ball from the insurgents severely wounded the Count, who fell into the hands of the insurgents. The letter then contented themselves with breaking all the windows and doors of the Castle. A letter from Gratz states, that on the 29th Oct. Gen. Dahlers, with 10,000 men, occupied the island of Mur, between the Brave and the Mur, and that he will probably, in conjunction with Gen. Nugent, who is at the head of 8,000 men, act against Pesth. The Austrian officers in the Hungarian army have been granted a term of 14 days, by Prince Windisch grate, to return to their own service, in defa•dt of which they will be cashiered. PRUSSIA.—BerIin was quiet on the 7th. There was nothing but rumour about the expected ministry. FRANKFORT.—Accounts from the city of the 7th inst. state that M.

The party of the Rue de Poitiers held another meeting hat evening, at which the minority who at the former meeting urged the partik e to adopt the alr, didateship of General Cavaignac, signified their ac quiescence in the resolution of the majority to give the support of the party to no candidate. There man authorised contradiction of the rumoured sale of Cuba to the United States, in the journals of MADRID, Nov. 4. The annihilation of the republican faction of Huesca, commanded by Abad, is the most considerable suc cess whirl has been achieved by the government during the present war. Indeed in guerilla waters it is hardly possi ble to gain a more important victory. The faction consisted of upwards of 300 foot and 30 horse, not a ma" of whom has escaped. The troops were commanded by Brigadier don Ramon Angles, who for this feat is to day guetted Hernial de.Campo. On the 30th, at 9 in the morning, Abad with his men marched into Hums, got 8,000 real from the munici pality, took with him all the persons impri s soned, and a good many hones. The Queen's troops were eight hours off. Abad left the town at 1, and Angles entered it some th hours after. He galloped with fifty horse ree in pursuit of the insurgents, and the foot followed. He overtook them at Sutamo, and charged immediately. No details of the affair are given. It only known that the whole faction surrendered with their two lenders. These will in all likelihood have been shot, and the rest decimated. The mail. of the 2d brought the government intelligence of three important aucomme, the defeat of Victoria and Amettler, near Figueroa , who lost 7 killed and 20 prisoners, among whom was the Cabecilla Barren , since dead of his ' d w er of 18 ounds; prisoners; and the the assault of Guad Hu aleses t, ca captu re with t wholesale mu- Cordova left Barcelona to take the field with a consider able body of troops on the 30th. this morning. The Mutateqr of last evening announced that M. de Lamartine had renounced his candidateship for the presidency in favour of General Cavaignac. Le Bien Publique, the personal organ of M. de Lamar tine, oontradicts that announcement this morning, and requires the government journal to retract it. It says that the government journal can scarcely pre tend to know the intentions of M. de Lamartine better than M. de Lamartine himself. The Montagnard party has put forth a circular in favour of the candidateship of M. Ledru Rollin. The report of M. Lanjuinais on the new consolidation of the Bons du Tresor and the savings banks deposits was distributed yesterday at the Assembly. The Committee of Finances proposes that the deposits of the savings banks shall be consolidated at the rate of 71.60, and the Bons du Tresor at 46.40. The old holders who had converted their bonds into subscrip tions to the loan, are also to be admitted to partici pate in this arrangement. Much uneasiness ep o s n produced among the friends of order by repwhich have been Circu lated for some days, that government has been re arming the oevriers who were disarmed after the in surrection of June. The report produces the more alarm because of certain observations made, doubtless under the impulse of the moment and without con sideration, by General Lsmoriciere, who has not yet learned the reserve which the occupation of such an office as minister of war ought to impose upon a moldier. This minister declared, as I believe I mentioned in a former despatch, in the midst of a circle of repre sentatives in the Salle des Conferences, that if Prince Louis should be elected. he would receive him with coups de fusil. Absurd reports are also circulated of an intention on the part of General Cavaignac to resort to a coup gretat, supported by a por tion of the army, on the same contingency. All this creates much alarm among the peaceably disposed portion of the population, and does great injury to trade. These rumours are further countenanced, and probably in a great measure caused, by the fact that the government is re-arming the legionof the National Guard which were disarmed for their participation in the events of June.
