did not counsel the people to get up any
agitation
to support this or that party, but to assume a pas-
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 barouetcies,
and it was curious to think that although both
parties in the State were in favour of Reform, yet
none of them thriught the time come to grant such
a measure. Por his own part he had been at all
times an advocate for an extension of the suffrage
to the great body of the people. To that principle
he should always adhere, because be believed it was
that which tended to promote the interests of his
constituents. (Cheers.)
Mr.. HALLAM moved the following resolution :
"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 Parlia-
mentary duties, as well as for the admirable speech
he has just delivered."
The resolution was carried unanimously, and the
proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

Last night Mr. Ayrton, one of the members for
the Tower Hamlets, addressed a crowded meeting
of his constituents at the Beaumont Institution,
Mile-end, on the leading politics of the day.
Mr. W. NEWTON was unanimously called to the
chair, and at once introduced _ _

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION,
established 27 years at the Bazaar, Baker-street.—
New Additions for the instruction of youth Caxton, the
introducer of the printing press into England—Chaucer, the
celebrated Poet. The models and costumes studied from
ancient manuscripts. Chamber of Horrors, Mrs. Catherine
Wilson, with various additions.—Open from 11 till dusk, and
from 7 till 10. Admission, Is ; extra room, 6d.

Mr. AYRTON, who was re ceived with loud cheer-
ing, and cries of " Where's Butler ?" The hon.
member said he had delayed coming to them
to account for his Parliamentary 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 had 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repealed the hop duties despite the exertions and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 ;
but 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 al chitectural design as it would be ~ostly in
its election. He thought that the recomm ndation
of the committee of the House of Common. on the
protection of property from fire would gi ~e more
power to that autocrat of 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 as in 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 applied 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 great 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 ou 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, and the Admiralty
were even now discussing about 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 numerically 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 of 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 tired 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. An 'as to the
distress unhappily existing in Lancashi: 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 until the
people were properly represented in Parliament,
which he feared would bo a long time hence. He

Total 762
For these and other Life-boat services the Institution hat,
voted £2,158 as rewards to the crews of its Lifeboats. It has
also granted re wards amounting to £572 for saving 582
Shipwrecked persons, by shore-boats and other means. mak-
ing a total of 1,302 persons saved from a watery grave during
the last two years and a half.
The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the
Society and other means, since its formation, is 12,690;
for which services 82 Gold Medals, 713 Silver Medals, and
£16,0( 0 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £64,300 on Life-boats, Life-boat
Transporting-earl iages, and Boat-houses.
The public cannot bt spathise with the vigorous efforts
now being made by thius Institution to save the lives of Ship-
wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at
the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions
he Society has made within the past few years, it has now
One Hundred and Twenty-three Life-boats under its man-
s vement, tor the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough
efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely
needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

1869, to £1,700,600; 0f,1860, to £1,592,800; and
of 1861, to £1,463,100. Referring to the great
public works which the corporation had undertaken
to execute during the next three or four years, the
committee in conclusion urged on the Court the
exercise of caution, of continued watchfulness in the
utilisation of all its means, and of a strict economy
in every branch of its expenditure.
FINSBURY CIRCUS.

Mr. Alderman HALE presented a petition from
the inhabitants of Finsbury•circus, praying tho
Court to use its influence to obtain an act of Parlia-
ment to protect for ever the open spaces and gar-
dens of London, and to oppose the projected act
for the destruction of Finsbury-circus and adjacent
houses. The petition was referred to the Bridge-
house Estates Committee to examine and report
upon the allegations it contained.
The Court then adjourned.

Metropolitan Subterranean Railway.

The success with which this new line is working,
as far as it can yet be judged by its great and in-
creasing traffic returns, 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 unpleasant 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 11613 of the present engines entail.
It is impossible, while the passenger traffic con-
tinues as high as it is now, that any of the engines
can be spared from the line to have 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 the line
has, as we have said, been almost too much for its
resources. On last Sunday there were 38,000 pas-
sengers—about the maximum number the Crystal
Palace line ever takes down to Norwood and back
even on the most crowded days. Of 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 firs.
concession made on Vais day was to run the trains
at seven and a half minute intervals, but even this
was found insufficient, and it was eventually neces-
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
others 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
th&afternoon from it. Increased facilities are also
about to be given for the issue of tickets. It was
thought 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 neces-
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
of staff, but the receipts from such extra hours will,
of course, far outweigh the expenditure. The plan
of lighting the carriages by gas has, up to the pre-
sent, been found to work admirably both as regards
economy and power of illumination. Thebe

a half, and one filling lasts nearly three hours.
As might be expected from the success which
has so
far attended the opening of the
• is
I first part of the line, it intended to lose no
time in pushing its main length into the very
heart of the city near Moorgate-street. This portion
from the terminus at Farringdon-street is a little
over three-quarters of a mile, and will be made in
two branches; one intersects Holborn-hill, or rather
Skinner-street, and continues its course due south
under the site of the old Fleet Prison to effect a junc-
L tion with the Chatham and Dover line, which is to
f cross the Thames at Blackfriars. The other, and
I the more important branch,—in fact, the main line,
s is to be continued in a cutting through the ground
north of Smithfield hnd south of Charterhouse•square,
beneath the Barbican, into Finsbury, terminating
it in an ample station, nearly an acre in extent, at the
ie ' back of Moorgate-street, on the west side. The
i- whole of this latter branch is to be an open cutting
varying from 20 to 25 or 30 feet deep and of great

the expense of completing this tEree-quarters of a
mile to Finsbury will be very great—nearly half as
much as the whole of the test of the work has cost.
By its passing through the notth 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, 2.13 d pulls down
their houses, a clause in the act compels the rellway
to run two cheap trains each way, morning and
evening, for the poor people, at a uniform fare of
H. for the whole length of ihe line, or to any inter-
mediate stations. This clause, however, does not
come into force till the line is'finisbed to the city.
From Farringdou-strea 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.
At all the intersections cf streets along the cutting
--and these occur constantly—the bridges that will
continue the roadway over the lines aro intended to
be made nearly three times the usual width, in order
to allow of the erection of shoos and warehouses on
either side of the road, and by renting or selling
these freeholds the company hope to reimburse
themselves for a considerable share of their outlay
in the construction of the line. It is intended to
make some slight improvement in the ventilation of
two of the underground stations, though till more
has been seen of the working of the:line it is diffi-
cult to say how this may be effected.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

TIIE NAVY.

The Commander-in-Chief at Plymouth, Admiral
Sir H. Stewart, K.C.8,, accompanied by Capt. Leo-
pold Heath, of the Cambridge, will to-day (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-
meats 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.
Her Majesty's screw gun-vessel Osprey, 682 tons,
200 horse-power, recently commissioned at Wool-
wich by Commander J. Innes, has had her fan
shifted and replaced with Griffith's screw to in-
crease her speed, and is under orders to leave
Woolwich on an engineet'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,
he 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
the French national brig Le Venteux, after a des-
perate conflict of 10 minutes under the batteries of
Ile de Bas. 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. Tie became a Vice-Admiral of the Blue in.

THE ARMY.
The first division of the depot brigade Royal 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.
The establishment of thellPest division will shortly
be completed to its full strength with recruits, who
on joining at headquarters will be put through a
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. 0 wing 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
firing, 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 Duke 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 186263, for altera-
tions, is to be refunded them, and the amounts
charged ageinst 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 heads '
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 eround the principal
entrance, in hopes of recovering
their lost employ- .
ment. In consequence of the small amount of work,
1 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 Shoebury ness..
