AYRTON AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. Last night Mr. Ayrton, one of the members for Tower Ili;mietS, addressed a crowded meeting of his constituents at the Beaumont Institution, Mile-end, on the leading politics of the day. Mr. W. NEWTON was ,Aiimously called to the chair, and at once introduced . _ _ . Mr. AYRTON, who was received with loud cheer ing, and cries of " Where'e Butler ?" The hon. member said he, had delayed coming to them to account for -his Parliamettary conduct and to consider the proceedings of the last session, and look at them as a link between the past and the future. He thought it mischievous to leave the House of Commons to discuss matters without interfering on behalf of those who were not in the house. He bad been asked to become a vice-president of a society for the repeal of the hop duty, and of hops he could only say that it was " the best enemy to those that loved it most." (Loud laughter.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer had repealed the hop duties despite the exertions and opposition of one who might be almost called " the member for bitter beer." (Lend laughter.) He (Mr. Ayrton) represented nearly one-fortieth of the electors of the United Kingdom, and had only one colleague, while he ought to have three or four—an injustice that ought to be remedied. He would pro ceed to the first local question of importance, and, referring to the Metropolitan Board, he thought that the members ought to come regularly before the ratepayers and ask the honour of re-election ; bat the vestries did not think it advisable, and Par liament did not therefore interfere. Great powers had been delegated to them, and amongst others he feared that the Thames embankment would be as ugly in architectural design as it would be costly in its erection. He thought that the recommendation of the committee of the House of Commons on the protection of property from Ere would give more power to that autocrat ot the metropolis, the Chief Commissioner of Police, but he (Mr. Ayrton) ob jected to policing the people any further, and there was no reason why the power of regulating fire engines in each district should not be vested as well in the parish vestries asiu a Knight Commander of the Bath at Scotland -yard. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Ayrton) feared that the Metropolitan Board of Works did not look sufficiently after the money which ought to be a pplied to the development of their powers, and getting everything that ought to be applied to their proper purposes. Time, however, would work a change, it was to be hoped, ere long. He could not advert to any topics without bestowing a passing word upon the loss the borough had re cently sustained in one who lived amongst his work. men and dispensed with a ready hand his charity and good feeling. He (the speaker) thought it behoved his constituents to watch narrowly the Merchandise Marks Act, which would come into operation on the Ist of January next. He found that on one great question there were two grt at parties who took opposite sides, and while one side would give oppor tunity to men to indulge in an unlimited use of vicious drinks, on the other hand it was held that they should avoid it altogether. The intelli gence of the country would resolve the question. Passing on to the expenditure of the nation be found that the sum of 70 millions a year was annually col lected, and those who came in with the cry of re trenchment and reform find that the annual expen diture of the country has been doubled, and this was in fact accounted for by a largely increased number of stipendiary highly paid officers of the Crown; and the landed proprietors of the country not doing their duty had led to all these appointments. They ought to apply themselves more sedulously to ful filling their duties each in their several spheres, and that matter would be remedied. The excess of 10 millions in increase of expenditure for defensive purposes would teach at least that we ought to have a navy sufficient to protect our shores, which at present the country had not, a nd the Admiralty were even now discussingsabout batteries; and then, again, they said that it was necessary to have for tifications in case there was not a navy, and an enormous standing army in case the fortifications were not strong enough. (Laughter.) He (Mr. Ayrston) could not see the necessity for this army ; and though the number of volunteers in the City of London and its suburbs did not nume rically muster more at the present time than when the population of the city was only 150,000, yet if the volunteers were ever called out for duty, they would do their duty as they did at Newbury in past times in de fence of the land. While this country interfered so much by agitation abroad, it made legislation well nigh impossible; and in the case of Italy, as the Pope of Rome claimed to be the head of the great Roman Catholic republic of the world, our interference gave the Emperor of the French a good ground for the present course he pursued. (Cheers.) With regard to the American ques tion, there was a great diversity ot opinion among all people in England—one large section of the working classes advocating the North and the other the South. He (the speaker) thought the difference was to be found in the idea that while the North professed to be fighting for the emancipation of the slaves, many questioned really whether that was their object. (Cries of " Yes, yes," " No, no," and great excite ment.) With regard to the North, it was an ugly fact that the black had not the common privilege of voting in the North, and he feared the North wanted dominion rather than emancipation. (Hear, hear and no, no.) It could not be answered by cries of " yes " and " no ;" but, when the political career of the North was exercised, it would be found that the last thing ever the working men cared for was the welfare of the slave. They had in their power before this war 1,000,000 of enslaved blacks, and they offered to give their guarantee to continue that slavery if the South entered the Union. The ques tion really turned out to be a question of territory and aggrandisement, and, in his opinion, the North had charged their cannon with the heads of African blacks and fired them at the South. (Loud cheers, and cries of " No, no.") The fact was, that consider ing the entire question, he had no sympathy with either. Their own misconduct brought their suffer ings upon themselves, and he did not wish the Go vernment to interfere in any manner whatever, un less there was some chance of peace. That period, he believed, had not as yet arrived. And as to the distress unhappily existing in Lancashire, it was well to find that ample means were at hand to relieve it. (Hear, hear.) He was afraid that the war would end when the forces of the North were exhausted. When the Germans and Irish were all used up, and people were dragged from their homes, then there might be some chance of peace. He would ask, were these poor people to linger on in the meantime in poverty and destitution, to gratify some political quacks both in and out of Parliament ? The fact was, the maxim of the poor being allowed to die out would continue nutil the people were properly represented in Parliament He which he feared would be a long auto hence, , did not counsel the people to get up an) to support this or that party, but to assume t. sive position, and oppose any one on the hustings who would not advocate Reform. To use a sport ing phrase, there had been of late considerable hedging in the shape of peerages and baronetcies, and it was curious to think that although both parties in the State were in favour of Reform, yet none of them th ,ught the time come to grant such a measure. For his own part he had b -!1 *sines an advocate for an extension of ihr to the great body of the people. To that principle be should always adhere, because be belie it was that which tended to promote the interests of his constituents. (Cheers.) Mr. HALLAM moved the following resco• - ain • " That the best thanks of this meeting are due and are hereby given to Acton Smee Ayrton, Esq., one of our representatives in Parliament, for the ability and assiduity with which he performs his PA vin mentary duties, as well as for the admirable ap he has just delivered." The resolution was carried unanimo isly, and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. COMMON COUNCIL. A meeting of the members of the Common Coun cil was held yesterday, for the despatch of business, at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor presiding. THE PRINCE OF WALES. Mr. ANDERTON gave notice of motion—" That a ward committee be appointed, under the chairman ship of the Lord Mayor, to consider how best the citizens of London can continue to testify their loyalty and attachment to our beloved Queen and her family upon the approaching•marriage of the Prince of Wales, by giving his Royal Highness and his affianced bride a public entry into the' city of London ; and that, in order to make the demonstra tion general and worthy the metropolis, the com mittee do advise with the Court of Lieutenancy and the Livery Companies, the Hon. Artillery Com pany, the commanding officers of the Royal London Militia and Volunteers, and other public bodies, merchants, bankers, and traders, whose co-opera tion they (the committee) may think desirable." (Cheers.) THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Mr. WOODTHORPE, the Town Clerk, at the re quest of the Lord Mayor, read a letter which had been addressed to his lordship and the Corporation of London by the Royal Commissioners for the In ternational Exhibition, conveying the expression of their warmest thanks for placing at their disposal the various works of art belonging to the corpora tion, which had been displayed in the Fine Arts department. The Commissioners added that they had much satisfaction in calling to mind how cordially their efforts to secure an adequate representation of the rise, progress, and present position of British art were seconded by those patrons of art whose co operation they invited. The friendly rivalry which was established between the choicest works of Bri tish masters and those of foreign countries had been admitted to have been in the highest degree honour able to our national schools, and this gratifying result had only been attained by the prompt and liberal response given to the applications of the Commissioners by those whose property had for a season been confided to their care. On the motion of Mr. KELDAY,tbe Commissioners' letter wqs ordered to be printed with the minutes of the Court. THE FREEMEN'S ORPHAN SCHOOL. A motion was made by Alderman HALE, pursuant to notice, that the Freemen's Orphan School, being capable of accommodating 50 children in addition to the present number of 100, and the applications being much in excess of admissions, the Court be empowered to elect five children half-yearly in ad dition to the vacancies until the above number be completed, and that the additional expense be paid from the increased rental of the Carpenter Estate. In the course of a very animated discussion to which this proposition gave rise it became a ques tion what the Carpenter Estate really was. Mr. H. Lowman Taylor, in moving an amendment to refer the subject to a committee, with cei tain instructions, For consideration and report, commented upon the very large sums of money which the corporation had expended during the last 20 years for purposes of education, and notably in connexion with the City of London School. Deputy Pewtress, on the other hand, alleged that the corporation had been in the regular receipt of a large revenue derived from Carpenter's Charity which was established centuries ago for clothing and educating four poor boys; that years ago the Charity Commissioners discovered that the corporation, although in receipt of the funds, had entirely neglected to carry out the objects of the charity, and that that discovery ultimately led to the establishment of the City of London School. He added that the revenue from Carpenter's Charity would be very nearly doubled in a couple of years, and he submitted it would be only reasonable to apply a portion of the funds, when so augmented, to extend the benefits of the Freemen's Orphan School, as proposed by Alderman Hale. Mr. De Jersey reminded De- putt' Pewtress that, since 1849, £35 000 had been expended by the corporation on tue Freemen's Orphan School. Deputy Harrison, though long a member of the Common Council, confessed that he had never before heard of Carpenter's Estate, and appealed to the Chamberlain if there was such a thing. Mr. Kelday pleaded similar ignorance, though he had been three years chairman of the City Lands Committee. The Chamberlain explained that for centuries the rental of Carpenter's Estate had been included i❑ that of the city itself, and he could not separate the one from the other. Alder man Dakin said the land in question was originally left by John Carpenter to the corporatimi in the reign of Richard IL, chargeable with the education of four boys, and the corporation executed the trust until 1837, when they made it the nucleus of a far larger and nobler educational institution—the City of London School—on which they expended then and since something like £lO,OOO, and at which about. 800 pupils were being constantly educated. At that time Lord Brougham cited the case in pub lic as one of the most creditable within his recol lection of a corporation giving up funds for the public good. Alderman Hale expressed his sur prise that the Chamberlain, of all men, should have said that he did not know anything of John Car penter's Charity, and that Mr. Kelday should have been equally ignorant, seeing that in his capacity of chairman of the City Lands Committee he had actually been in receipt of the rents of the charity for three years. Mr. Lowman Taylor's amendment was lost on a division, and at length the Court re• solved, on the motion of Alderman Hale, to refer it to the Freemen's Orphan School Committee to in quire the additional expense of accommodating 50 more children, and how it should be defrayed. FINANCES OF THE CORPORATION. Mr. JOHN YOUNG, jun., chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, presented a report relative to certain proceedings taken by them for the renewal of bonds from the corporation, and which had fallen due in the course of last year, and generally to the finances of the corporation. The committee in their report entered into these matters hole in much detail, and from a revie w th o a l t t th e e fi circumstances they they deduced thet cial position of the corperalB:B7estioce the date of was manifestly their report in Decerobrto the balances of cash improved, having regar liabilities due by the corporation on the closing of the successive accounts since that time. At the end of December the balance of such liabilities was £659, 697; of 1860, 1575,688 ; and of 1861, £490,200. It would, the y said, be still fu r th er re _ duced on the settlement of the accounts for the year just ended. The reduction of the bond debt of the corporation in the same period had also been consi derable. The debt amounted at the end of Dec., FINSBURY CIRCUS. Mr. Alderman HALE presented a petition from inhaoitants of Finsbury circus, pra.yit4v, the: Ciurt to usu.-Its influence to obtain an act . of ParEa ment to protect for ever the op en s p aces and gar dens of London, and to oppose the p ro j ected act far the de?-truction of Finsbary-circus and adjacent houses. The-petition.was referred to the Bridge house Estates Committee to examine a nd re p ort upon the allegations it contained. The. Court t!ien adjourned. Metropolitar• Subterranean Railway. . • with which this new tine is wurking, as i d , vet be judged by its great and in creasing train .'arns, has up to the present in finitely surpassed the expectations of its promoters. Even when allowing a most liberal margin for the numbers of merely curious visitors anxious to see the line for the first time, the present daily re turns are still nearly one-third greater than were anticipated. In fact, though the numbers are by no means too large to please the company, or even as large as they no doubt 'Will be when the whole working arrangements are complete —when extra trains are running, and, above all, when the public get used to the speed and conveni ence of this main artery of communication—yet for the present the rush of passengers eager to be conveyed overtaxes the resources of a line so new and so exceptional in character as to require the most vigilant superintendence till all is in full work ing order. Just now plant, engines, and officials are overworked ; and in the case of the engines this has resulted sometimes in the annoyance of steam in the tunnel, sometimes in the sulphureous gas being drawn from the fires and let into the tunnel in suffi cient quantities to make it most unpleasent to the officials, and even, though of course in a less degree, to the passengers themselves. This inconvenience is not so much due to the condensers of the engines being too small as to the fact of the trains being too large. The engines were built to work well and condense all their steam with ordinary trains of three or four carriages. Now the trains have more carriages than these, and all of them are absolutely crammed ; so that much more steam is used to draw them than the condensers', can possibly condense, and the driver is obliged to exhaust the funnel—a process which draws the gas from the furnace and sets it loose in the covered way, to the annoyance of every one. New engines with very large condensers have already been ordered, and till these are ready the passengers will have to put up with whatever in. convenience the use of the present engines entail. It is impossible, while the passenger traffic cot tinues as high as it is now, that any of the engines can be spared from the line to bare their condensers enlarged, for they are under steam nearly 18 hours out of the 24, and in spite of every arrangement pas sengers have often to be left behind at the interme diate stations in the morning, the train being filled at starting. The unexpected popularity of tile line has, as we have said, been almost too much for its resources. On last Sunday there were 38,000 pas ,:en gers—about the maximum number the Crystal Palace line ever takes down to Norwood and beck even on the most crowded days. Ot course, with the reduced boars of working on Sundays, it would have been quite impossible to get this great num ber up and down the line had the quarter-hour inter vals between the trains been adhered to. The first concession made on this day was to run the trains at seven and a half minute intervals, but even this was found insufficient, and it was eventually neees• sary to start them, both east and west, at four mi nute intervals between each. We venture to think that there is no valid reason whatever why the re gular five minute intervals should not be resorted to during certain hours of the weekdays when the passengers are most numerous and most eager to be off. The whole line, it should be remembered, was constructed for five minute trains, and the stations purposely so placed that with trains running at this interval apart there would always be two clear stations between each, a distance that would render collision acci• dents almost impossible. In the same way the sys tem of mechanical signals was devised at a consi derable outlay of trouble and ingenuity. These signals are about the best and most efficacious of this kind that have ever been invented. They are so arranged that while any signalman can put them on to " danger" they cannot possibly be taken off but at the station to which the train is going. Thus, with a train starting at the Paddington terminus, the signalman puts on the danger signal to prevent of hers following, and in the act of putting it on the " points" which give entrance to the line are shut and locked, so that it becomes mechanically impos sible for another train to enter the line till the one that has started has passed the station ahead, from which point only can the danger signal behind be removed. These signals are not used now the line is being worked by the Great Western Company by telegraph, but they must come into use as soon as the number of trains is increased, arrangements for which are already being made. The first improvements in this respect will be by the introduction of express trains, to run through without stopping, in the morning to the city. and in the afternoon from it. Increased facilities are also about to be given for the issue of tickets. It was t h o u g ht that ample provision had been made in this respect. but the great excess of traffic has in this, as in other matters, rather deranged all the calcula tions which were made before the opening. There appears to be not the least doubt but that before long the whole line will have to be worked night and day by a double staff, the late hours of the night being devoted to goods traffic which the number of passenger trains will make it necis sary to exclude from the line during the day. Up to the present it has been found impossible to make any arrangements for the transit of goods, though the great lines with which the Subterra nean is in connection are most anxiously wishing for it. A parcels train for small packages, once or twice a day, will soon be attempted, but the great bulk of the goods traffic must, we should think, be taken in the night, after the passenger trains have ceased running. This will necessitate an increase i of staff, but the receipts from such extra hourslle plan of of course, far outweigh the expendituure.to the of lighting the carriages by gas a pre sent, been found to work adriirahblays'bopth as regards ec onomy and power o f illumination.

The other, and the more important branch,—in fact, the main line, is to be continued in a cutting through the ground north of Smithfield and south of Charterhouse-square, beneath the Barbican, into Finsbury, terminating in an ample station, nearly an acre in extent, at the back of Moorgate-street, on the west side. The whole of this latter branch is to be an open cutting varying from 20 to 25 or 30 feet deep and (Jf great been ma - To - take this part of the line t ,dug leastvaluahle Properties in the neighbourhooo, yet the expense of completing this three-quarters of a inilito Finsbury will be very great—nearly half as -much as the whole of _the rest of the workhas cost. By its passing,.through the north side of Smithfield it destroys a hideous nest of knackers' yards and slaughter houses, blood refiners and glue and gut makers, who now combine to poison the air in this part of the city. As it also in this neighbourhood dispossesses a number of poor people, and pulls down their houses, a clause in the act compels the railway to run two _cheap trains each way, morning and evening-,--for---tho poor people, at a uniform fare of id. for the whole length of the line, or to any inter mediate stations. This clause, however, does Pot come into force till the liue is finished to the City. From Farringdon-street there will only be a slight rise in the line to the north of Smithfield,and thence to Finsbury it will be, taken at almost a dead level.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY The Commander-in-Chief at x lyinuhth, Admiral Sir H. Stewart, K.C.8., accompanied by Capt. Leo pold Heath, of the Cambridge, wilt . Vday (Fri day), inspect the screw steamship London, 86, Capt. Henry Chads, and her crew, preparatory to their being paid off. The ship will ba placed In the third division of the Steam Reserve. In accordance with instructions from the Ad miralty, Mr. Gisborne, the inventor and patentee of the electric steering and engine room telegraphic signals, attended at Chatham Dockyard yesterday for the purpose of making the necessary arrange ments for fitting the invention on board the armour cased frigate Royal Oak, now preparing for sea. The Royal Oak is, we understand, the first vessel in the Royal navy to which it has been decided that the new invention is to be fitted. The highly favourable reports which have been made to the Lords of the Admiralty of the working of the signals placed on board her Majesty's paddlewheel steamer Rhadamanthus, Master •Commander Ray mond, where a series of experimental trials has been made with them during the past six months, have induced their lordships to decide on intro ducing the invention. _ _ . He; Majesty's screw gun-vessel Osprey, 682 tons, 200 horse-power, reeently commissioned at Wool wich by Commander J. Danes, has had her fan shifted and replaced with Griffith's screw to in crease her speed, and is under orders to leave Wcolwich on an engineei's trial. Forty second-class lads were yesterday entered on the Fisgard's books at Woolwich, and a similar number will be engaged weekly until further orders for instruction on board the receiving ship Impreg nable, a demand having been issued to that effect. We have to record the death of Admiral Francis Temple, which occurred on Monday last at an ad vanced age. The deceased, who received his educa tion at the Royal Naval School, entered the navy in 1786 as a midshipman on board the Thisbe. After serving on the coasts of North America and Africa, lie - attained his lieutenancy in 1793, and in 1803, while serving on board the Loire in that capacity, boarded and carried with two boats of that frigate ti , ) French national brig Le Venteux, after a des perate conflict of 10 minutes under the batteries of Ite de B .s. For his conduct on this occasion he was promoted to the command of the Tartarus, and pre sented by the Patriotic Society with a valuable sword. He became a Vice-Admiral of the Blue in 1847, and Admiral on the reserved half-pay list in 1854. THE ARMY. The first division of the depot brigade Royal on h j e o e i s n ia n b g li a sh t m he e a n d t qu of al t Ar tillery, attached to the Chatham district, which is at present considerably below its proper establishment , was yesterday reinforced by a detachment of non commissioned officers and gunners from Woolwich. T willtheersfirwstildlivbiseiopnutt h r s o h n o g r h t y a be completed to it s f u ll s t reng th w ith recruits, who complete course of drill in all the various artillery exercises, to qualify them for embarkation for India during the ensuing summer. The officers, non commissioned officers, and gunners belonging to the five batteries, which compose the first division of the depot brigade, have recommenced practice from the 13-inch and 8-inch land service mortars whick. are mounted in the centre bastion of the fortifica tions commanding the main channel of approach to the river Medway. Owing to the great number of vessels passing and repassing across the line of fire, the greatest difficulty has been experienced during the practice in obtaining a range sufficiently clear to admit of the bursting of the shells with safety. Every precaution has accordingly to be taken, both by telescopic observations from the batteries and re ducing the bursting charges of powder to a mini mum degree, to avoid accidents. Lieut. Phipps, the gunnery instructor to the division, superintends the filing, including the laying of the mortars and the cutting and fixing of the fuzes. A general order, issued from the Horse Guards by command of the Dake of Cambridge, has been promulgated at Chatham garrison, announcing that the Secretary of State for War has decided that the moiety of money deducted from the pay of men on the issue of their clothing for 1862.63, for altera tions, is to be refunded them, and the amounts charged against the public. Captains of companies have been directed to take the necessary steps to pay the men. Earl de Grey and Ripon, Under Secretary of State for War, who with Col. F. D. Jervois, Royal Engineers, arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday, commenced yesterday, in company with the resident engineers, an inspection of the fortifications in that neighbourhood. It is understood that they have already condemned what is called the "Keep," near Stonehouse-hill, Devonport. They will recommend its removal and the appropriation of the site for the erection of a hospital for the wives of soldiers in garrison there, for whom there isat present no such accommodation. It having been announced, by order of the h ea d s of departments in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich that a small number of artisans, mechanics, and labourers would be taken on from among those who had recently been discharged, about 2,000 yester day morning congregated around the principal entrance, in hopes of recovering their lost employ ment. In consequence of the small amount;of work, about 30 only were engaged, and those principally for yard work. The recruiting sergeants of the Royal Artillery and other regiments were, in con- sequence, successful in enlisting a number of those Who were eligible, and they were shortly after wards sworn into her Majesty's service. Another 200-pounder Armstrong muzzle-loading gun was yesterday landed on the wharf in Wool wich Arsenal, from the Elswick factory, for ex perimental purposes at Shoeburyness.
