Yesterday evening, a public meeting was held at the School Room, C Asper-ousel, City-road. C. LUIIIIING- Tux, E•q ,1111 P., took the chair at seven o'clock, to consider the subject of parliamentary and Seemeial reform. The CHAIRMAN having explained ;he objects of the National Reform Association, proceeded to congratulate the friends of the movement on the increase of their supporters in parliameat, as proved by the division which had taken pianist the House of Commas, a few evenings ago. How ever, their minorities in that how* would be of little service as Wag es the people wen unrepresented in it. (Hear, hear.) None bat the aristocracy were represented there fully, and he was not wroog when be stated that out of the number in that house there were 356 composed of military and r oval LA:en, and their immediate friends. They bed besides marquis.. and earls aqua ad n StIVONS. He did not object to lords sitting in the locuse, bat he objected to their net being the choice of the people, but m. rely the nominees of the aristocracy. (Cheers.) Lord John Ruuell said that the people of England had not sufficiently inei. sated their desire to have reform; but he would ask whether such meetirge as those which had taken rho* at Netting. ham, Leeds, Ysrmouth, and other places, were not a sulfieitat proof of what was the desire of the meas.. of the people of England. He recommended the meeting to join the society of Sir J. Wannsley, and also the Freehold Land Society, the lamer of which be knew to be a most unezeeptionable plan for the Impose erf enabling the labouring ;lasses to share in that property to ',hien they w. re justly entitled, sod to become t appy and dignified members of the commu nity. The chairman concluded by obsere.ng that they were completely in the dark as to what were the reductions which were t be made in the taxation of the people by the Cheet ah', of the Exchequer, who proposel to make his finanei ii statement on the pith of this month, but he was psrfec , ly sure that nothing would be done in that direction until the taxation was alien off knowledge, fur it was that alone which would teach the pe mls to pertorni their duty, sod moderately to weer their rights. (C.seers ) Mr. TINDAL ATKINSON moved the first resolutioo, to the effect, that this meeting convinced of the necessity of a general agitation of the United Kingdon on the question of parliamentary reform, with a view to an early cad universal 'Ravish,* of public opinion on that suhjrct, would record its cordial and emphatic approval of the ;plait proposed by the council of the National Association for that purpose, and pledged itself to render immediate and t fficient co operation. He la eloquent terms advised the people to throw off the trammels of toryima and wt iggism, arid to fight their cause until they succeeded in seeding to parliament men who would vote for the hat akar.' of the community. Mr. BRILLIBEER seconded the r. &elution, which was serried isaanimously. Sir JOSHUA WALSISLEY here presented himself to the matinir, and was revived *Ph load cheers. Re stated that he had just come from the House of Caimans, where he had been eneared in voting for a reform bill foe Ireland—(cheers); and then proceeded to pro pose the second resolution—namely, that the meeting earnestly recommends to the friends of parliamentary Worm throughout Great BTOSIn and the colonies to furnish prompt and efficient sasistanes to the council of the N.ti nal Asso ciation, by the holding of seeetigge, the passing of resolutions, the format on of committee*, the employment of local agents, sad the tontributieg of funds. Mr. WEIR reeonded the revolution, which was carried. Mr. A. WALKER proposed the third resolution to the effect that this met tang regards with feelings of heartfelt satisfaction the proposition of holding a national coaterence in London during the month of April next, and calls oa the francs, of the movement in all parts of the country to astir the council by 'theta" earnest reformers to represent them at that important Recline. This having been also tarried, and the usual vote of thanks to Vie chairman h iviem been responded to the meeting, which was very numsrosuly attended, separated. PRINTERS PENSION SOCIETY.

THAMES TCNNEL COMPANY —The annual meeting of this company took place to-day, at Radley's Hotel, Bridge street, Wecktriars, Bei jamin Hawse, Esq., in the chair. The financial statement for the Fear showed that the receipts were as follows :—B dance in hand, 6411. 19s. 2i.; amount collected in tolls, 3,4601 13.. 2d.; rent received for houses belonging to the comrany. 6321. 3s. 24.; rent received for archw.ye in the tunnel, let to stall keeper., 9061. 12a.—total, 4,9331. 9.. 101. The amount of di.bureemente (including rates and tarn, and payments to the Public Woks Loon Canamisaionen) was 4.3104 61. 6d , which 1-ft a balance in the hands of the COM. p►ny of 6171. 31. 6.1. Tido statement having been re ceived anal adopted, the chairman produced a does meat, shoeing a comparison between the company'e again in 1848, and its prat). eta in 1849. In the former year the amount of tolls c4,..-Id was 3.7961. 8•. 31., and in the hirer 3,4801. 13.. 21., being a decrease of 3151. lba. Id. This decrease was at , ribetable to the pre valence of the cholera in the neighbourhood of Rothethdhe during the summer mouths. Tee d.reo•or' were, however. happy to say that the tolls were now on the increase. The amount paid to [pm rnment 1818 was 8941. 2.. 8 ;in 1819, 6611. 0.. 34. The cot of 'di in the year 1817, with In burners, was 8721. 41. 9.1; in 1818, with 136 kninth, 6011 13 , . 2d. ; in 1849, with 144 hipsters, 7311. 13.. 84 , showing a saving its each year, although the nom her of burners had been increased for the im provement and better lighting of the tunnel. The total amount of exo•na.e in the year 1848 was 4,1021 131 104 In 1849, 3 66.51 6s. 3d , being a diminu tion°, 4361. 7.. 7,1 , with all the improvements which 11-id taken place, including extra gui, &c. A dttsul.ory converse tine ensued respecting the prospects of the company, and the shareholders expressed a hope that the " trued time was coming," when they might exptet a dividend. It ea. stated that the amount advanced by the government to the company was 246,0001, and tt ey had not yet been able to decrease the debt. The routine business of 'hating or re electing , theetqn was then gone thruueb, and the meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to Me chairman . and die etas. MAJOR EDWARD!!! AT SIIREWSBURT.—The " lirro of Moultan " arriret fa Shrewsbury, the capital of his native county, on Saturday last, and met with a most enthu.lastio reception, the mayor and corporation, with about 10,1100 of the inhabitants, having age =Wird to do him holionr. A moat complimentary and aopropriate address was pr, ward to Major Edwards., which the gallant soldier acknowledged in a befitting tool, and the alai pawed of la a simmer highly latislaatory to all pull's. I MONEY MARKET. MONDAY RTINIIIO. The absence of political news of an exciting cha racter, and the increased facilities sffordei by the public companies for loaning money on stock, have given an improved tone to the market for public securit es to-day, although no important improvement in price has taken place. Consuls opened at the advanced price of 96k to 1, both for transfer and the 13th, at which a good deal of business was transacted, and after touching 951 they returned to the first quotation and so closed, both for money and account. A fair amount of business was negotiated in the New Three per Cent. Reduced, at 951 to 1 ; and also in the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, at 97) to 98. Exchequer Bills of all dtsenptions were done at 545. and 57.., and India Bonds at 84a. and 87e. prem.; ditto, under 1,0001., at 87a. prem. Long Annuities, 8 9-18. Bank Stock, 200 and 71. The leading feature of the business in the foreign house was an improvement in the price of Peruvian Bonds, which were done from 731 to 741; Buenos Ayres from 521 to 631. The business negotiated consisted of the following : Brazilian Bonds, at 891. Buenos Ayres, for account, at 53), 521, and 53. Belgian Four-and-e-Half per Cents., at 89; ex hang*, 25f. Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, at 88) and 1 ; exchange, 12 gad. Equa dor, at 3) and /. French Tnree per (eat. Rentes, at 67f. ; exchange, 25f 50c. Greek Bands, 1824 and 1825, ex overdue coupons, at 51. Mexican, for acc,,unt, at 291. Peruvian Four per Cents., 1549, for accoun tat 74, 731, 74), 74, and 731; the De terred Debt, at 32 . 1, 33, and 32). Portuguese Five per Ceres. Converted, 1841, at 31). Russian Five per Centr., at 107 ex. div.; ditto, New Scrip, at 1) and 1) pettniara. Spanish Frye per Cents, for account, at 17!. 1. and 1 ; the Passive Bonds, at 31 and ; the 'three par Ce nts., at 381 for money, and 381 for time. Venezuela, at 33. The committee of Spanish American Bondholders have received a letter from Mr. Lord, the agent of the Ve nezulan bondholders, dated Ls Guay re, the 4th ult., in which he states that he had made an application to the Minister of Finance on the subject of the arrears due to the bondholders, and that he was promised an anaaer in a few days. The commercial accounts, which extend to the lit January, from San Francisco, are not of an encourag ing character. Merchandise of every dr scription had fallen in price; even lumber, which is so much re quired for building purposes, had not escaped the general depression, and many holders wer e an x i ous ' to realise u a further decline wu expected. The approach of winter and the rains had terminated operivions in the mine, by rendering the roads im-1 passable. Many of the unfavourable circumstances under which business had been done and goods sacri ficed during the pasts aeon were about to be remedied by the erection of substantial warehouses and where,* for the storing and landing of goods. The establi,h meet of a merchants' exchange and the organisation of • board of trade were also in contemplation, the efLct of which will be to prevent many of the extreme fluctuations which have been so unguent in the markets. Gold duet being scarce, there was an isereaud dernana for Bills of Exchange on London at 481 for 30 days' sight, std. on New York at par. Gold coin was abaudant, and gold dust obtainable at 13.! dole. per ounce. Letters from Havannah of the Bth February men tion that the sugar market was dull for sugar of the old crop. The new sugars were coming in very teowly, and little business was going forward. Ex change was quoted 10 per cant. prem., at which there were few drawers. EXCHANGES AND STOCKS ABROAD.

The mane fend of the Edinburak and Glasgow is suited at 100.0001, after payment of the usual dividend of 6 per et nt. lite British Linen New St. ek does not come into existence until 16th April, and all transfer. up to that date must boot original stock, with right to the pro portion of new; it. is. eunesquently, a micake to quote them separa.ely. The Exchange Bank dots not divide anything thus year, although the profits realised are equal to 31 7s. per cent. It. losses from holdiope rri■eipally in the Hud•on lines of railway, have swept sff one•halt of the 350,0001 capitol, and a committee of she largest proprietors was aamed at the recent general mettiiig to consider and report, within three months, what course it were no.st psudent.n.iw to follow.

The Mercantile are to pay 31 percent.

Lit'le business is going forward in the English funds to-day, but the market is very firm, and prices have advanced 1 sin°e the commencement of business. Consols were first called at 951 to 1 for money, and 951 to for account, and have since steadily advanced to their present nurratinn. 951 to j both for transfer and t"e 13th instant.

The expenditure on the objacta represented by P2lllO of the ele.ses of Iberia has justdied their being called.up in full ; bet the expenditure tar works in proems does not admit at present, as it regards the extersitn share., of any further ; and in respect of the West riding shares, will not require a larger amount to ha called up than about 131. re r share, provided there be no exert se of the mortgage powers of those lines; and should the mortgage powers be exorcised, then probably the amount already calleu-up, viz , 111. ss. per share, will be sufficient for such works. A question was raised at the Tait half-yearly meeting, whether the directors were not calling up a larger amount on the extension shares than was autho ris.d tor the objects for which those shares were created, and since that meeting this view has been urged npos your direc tors. Tattii.g thee., maters into consideration, your dine eters are of opinion that it would tend to the general interest of the company if an arrangement could lu made whereby the uncalled portion of the extension and Went Riding shares sh uld be rendered applicable to the diminution of the mort gage debt of the company, at a reduced annual charge upon its income, an object which your directors think it is most desirab:e to attain. The average rate of interest on the m rime debt is at present about 4!. 14,. Gd. per cent. Your (tweeters prop me, by arrangements with the extension end West Riding Union shareholders, to create a 4 per cent. prefer. oce stock, tor the purpose of replacing the mosey relied on mortgage. The precise mode of carrying this into effect cannot perhaps be determined at the aeproachiog special meetings, and your directors do not intend at such meetings to ask for a decision from the proprietors. They think the importance of subject will be better met, by explsiniog their views and eliciting the opinions of the share holders, and by then adjourning ouch meetings to a future day, to give an opportunity for a r'ue consideration of the propositions It will be open to the proprietors representing the classes of shares proposed to be modified, should they think prop: r, to appoint &committee of the:r body to meet the director., and fully to discus; the proposed arrangements preparatory to their being submitted tur the determioat ion of the adjourned meetings. The following division of the ex tension and West Radios Union Stouts Las occurred to your directors, viz. : —The extension shares to tae divided into two parts,-141. to be consolidated into the ordinary stock of the company,—and 181, on which 41. would be atre.dy paid. to b. mute at 4 per cent. preference stock. The W at R ding Union Shares to be divided into two parts —Bl. 15s. to be c insolidsted into the ordinary stock of the company ; and 111. 55., on which 21. 101. would be already paid, to be made a 4 per :eat. preference rect. The whole of tie I per cent. prehrenre stock to take rank a'Cr the 6 per cent preference stock already Slued. Various rupee- Cons have been made to your director* for a eziati:ficattou of the filth shares ; but from the peculiarity (Atli* constitution of those shares there is great difficulty in dealing with (him, and your direc'ora arc not prepared on the present or casion to bring before the proprietors any definite proposition in reference thereto. A- tte same time they think that, whi:st new arrangements with other clews of shareholders are entertained, the holders of fifth shares are f iirly entitled to ask their co.proiricurs to consider sey equitable arrange- MI nt w'iich can be Slldge.ted on their behalf, on the principle of en sultan:a of equivalents." Notice of the propositions and intentions of the directors tec.ecing these shares has been circulated amongst the holders of them, and the proposed new arrangements be taken into consideration at a meeting t 3 be told im mediately after the terminision of the special general meeting. From the statement of the accounts of the company, it appears that the nett amount of revenue applicable to in terest and dividend is 115,8031 12e. 9d.
