VT FIRE AT TITAN'S BANlL.—Yelikidlylllolll - about seven o'clock, a serious conflagration broke out in the rouge of buiklings situate in Ranelagh-strect, known as the Thames Bank Repository, and long used as a storehouse for furniture while out of use. The building was separated by a short passage from a new structure just completed foe the accomrunlation of visitors during the commit Exhibition. From personal inquiries made on the spot the reporter kanied from Mr. Smith, the managing clerk, that the depositary at the time of the disaster was tilled with valuable property of nearly every description. viz., pic tures, pianofortes, magnificent looking-glasses, couches. sofas, state chairs. feather beds, &e. 'this large collection of pro- perty below:ell principally to noblemen who had game abroad. captains in the army and nas v who had gone out on sere ice. and many families who had emigrated, AC whole beim: placed within the building as a proteetille against fire and thieves. In order to keep the articles In the place free from damp and mildew. a hot air pipe pulsed along the ceiling of each floor, and it is generally undo& ' stood that the heat of this pipe caused the great iltutrnetiall of property we have to report. The fire when tint nee- eeived had gained some head, and pieces of ignited material were falling in upon the packages of furniture. Messengers were of course immediately despatched for the engines, and in the meantime the work of removal of goods was commenced with vigour. When the engines arrived fifteen minutes elapsed before a supply of water could be obtained from the Chelsea main and, before the engines could be brought to bear. the Hanoi had broken through the ceiling and were doing considerable damage in the upper story. By noon, however, the firemen at length succeeded in estin. guishing the flames, when it was found that scarcely an article of furniture in the depository where the flames had entered had escaped damage of some sort, and many of the costly goods were entirely destroyed. As to whether any of the property was insured or not it is impassable at pre sent to tell with certainty. The premises, being termed ire-proof, were, however, not insured fur a single penny. RELIEF TO HOP OROWERS.—We understand that Mr. Dodges, M.P. for Kent, proposes to bring in a bill to other, the hop growers; It is to be optional to the farmer, by giviag proper notice according to rule laid down, whether he pays an acreage duty of 31 . per We, or Id. per lb. as bun Aspriree. CllO,lll ET AnAlln.—lt is stated in a letter tom Deasseees, et the lath ult., in their, panne, that some French travellers, and amo Sem X. is Rothschild, had been wrested by the NA lam compelkd to pay a reams of 40,000 piastres. COMNIRaIoN WIELD TIT THE LORD LIEETENART or Sow stiatiss amt.—Richard Here, Gent., to be Corort to the West Scoacroetaltiro Rage of Yeomanry Cavalry. i Yesterday) the members of the committee again met, Mr. E.'Ellice in the chair. Present lion. F. Char ter, Sir B. Hall, Mr. A.:air, and Mr. Stuart. Th., coin mittee-room was more than usually crowded. Mr. J. Bell, the sitting member, and Mr. Alderman Carden, the unsuc cessful candidate, were present throughout the proceedings. The lion. Chairman, in opening the proceedings, in quired whether either Waggctt or Howard, two of the mis sing witnemen were forthcoming Mr. Serjeant Wrangham, counsel for the petitioners, replied no ; but that IW. reward had been offered fur Waggett by advertisement. 'I he Committee then ordered the room to be cleared. In about half an hour, on the public being reathaitticl, Henry Edwards was ordert it to 1. , called in, and the Chairman whirr 'Aug him, said that it wits the wish of the committee that h,- should he in attowlisoce instil told to go away. 1 he Chairman iminirial ut Mr. Merewether whether any and what steps had been taken to eerie the witness Howard with a summons to :Abort before the committee iu addition to the Speaker's warrant ? Mr. Merowether replied that the person who had been looking alter Howard was now 011 the track of the witness Waggett, and that consequently they had not yet bean able to rood n Blue to the oloscosery of Howard. '1 he Committee then directed that the witness Lines, who was committed to the custody of the serjr ant-at-arms for .opt and prevarication on Saturday, should be tolled,' the chairman cautioning him emphatically to answer in a atraightforward manner. William Lines, examined by Mr. Clarke, said that, on the "erasion ul his coi ii iiig up from St. Albans to London, he went in the tly to lendull's Hotel, Old Palma-yard, with his wife. Mr. Blagg, and Mr. Richardson were in the fly. Had voted at tile last election for St. Albans. (The WILMA; was here ordered to withdraw.) Mr. Serjeant Kinglike, on behalf of the sitting member, uhjected to questions of this character being put to the wit -111.4 at all. The witness was place.l in a peculiar and nun inahous positron. The law was clear that a wane.s could not be coon;ielleol to answer any question that might involve him in penal consequences. fhe man was in ,nobly on the grotonot that he had prevaricated and misbehaved him self, nod lie (the learned counsel)--first, cbjected to his being examined at all ; and secondly, because the witness was in custody and under duresse. This view of the ease had been held by previous election committees. 'floe room has mg been ekared, the committee were in dulls rativn for about half an hour ; wool at the expirations of that p. nod intimated that they had deterntimcd on re calling the witness Lines. Line , was then *objected to a lone examination, in the course of which lie detailed (as gist a us previous evidence) his leaving St. Allwoluo fur Watford, and being taken bath' to M. Albans by Nlss-rs. Illogic awl Edwards, where he was locks d up, but did not know why. When he went to St. Albans on one nee .14011, a week before the election, he had no intention of voting for Bell or any party. Went to the George, where he was locked up ; it was to enjoy hint self over a pint and a pipe. (Laughter.) '(here wen: a great many other people going in and out ut the George. Was two hours in St. Albans on the ...evasion of the week before the election, unit* spent the time in going about the town. had only id. in his pocket. Saw Richardson on the oceasioon, moil promised his vote to Doll. Ilad never been to the house in Cliecpwrotreet. ('the witness, having reverted to his former style of prevarication, was several flues cautioned by the Chairman.) Nobody spoke to him shunt his sole. Mr. S•: - j. ant Kinglakc declined to examine un behalf of the sitting member. Thomas Atkins, another of the atrvondeil witnesses, labouring maned St. Alloans, was then examin“l—Voted for though at the former election he voted fur the " blues," well Mr. !leptons. Despised to having been taken from St. Alloans to Watford and hock again with Lines, by Blagg wood Edwards, and hail es ov since then till he came up to London been at Brisket Wood, where Edwards lived. Was soot for by Edwards to Cheops r-street, awl asked if he would vote for Bell, which witness, though he had sorted for le) years for the "blue" party, said he would do. (Laughter.) Haul a little tonversation with his wile about the election, as it rather troubled her mind. She told him some person hail left sonic cans.uwing cards, but slid not get a birthing. Sandi Atkins, wife of the last witness, deposed to the ranee-sing yards in quistion having been left, but nu mes sage with them. lhd not kiaiw who the man was who brought the canvassing cards. Knew Ililleard, the school master, but did not know it was be, Knew nothing about it. In reply to several other questions the witness pertina ciously, and amid laughter, adhered to the declaration, that "She knew nothing about it, :Mil had uutloing to do with the election." lull not like elections, there was such Con fusion, and did not like getting drunk. (Laughter.) Had served the blue party fur ill years, rind they hal now served then a nasty trick to bring them up there to be reprimanded. 'flue blue party took her Ineitianil away from limo, after the electiou. She did not inquire, and did not know what hail become of him. (Laughter.) The witness continuing to persist in evasive and indirect tes timony, The Don. Chairman said, really we cannot endure this. It is mom prevarication. Yuu an old woman, and we are willing to snake every allowance, but we must have direct answers. Sir B. Hall- It is disgraceful that the committee, with other ilnpurtalit duties too perform, should have to sit here to be trifled with in this way. Witness—Knew Braising, clerk to Mr. Lowe, the local agent of St. Atkins, who brought the auuiuwm f.ir her husband to attetol before the committee. Her husband bad two sovereigns from the blue party for his expenses to sable him to come up to Loudon ou this inquiry, but did sot nceive anything sluriug election time. Lid nut tell him that her hn.lsaiul hail out revived mora than others received at the last election. The lion. Chairman (the evidence being clused)—Go way, woman. (Laughter.) Henry Brabant exannued—Corrolvorated the last witness, mid deposed to her having told him that "her husband had enceived no more than the rest, or no more than others at the Mat election." Mr. Serjeant Kinglake—The attorney's clerk is contra dieted by two witnesses. 'flee Chairman—We have our own impression. The com mittee now wished to know what course the petitioners in tended to take. Mr. Mercwether stated that they had n w adduced live of the abducts it a itnesses— Howard, Brandon, Biggs, Atkins, and Lynes; and the tither four—Skeggs, Birch niore, Waggett, and Forster, were not forthcoming. Ile therefore, to suggest that the c tilittee should adjourn and report the state of things to the house, to deal with as they might think fit. Mr. Serjeant Kinglake opposed on behalf of the 'sitting member, recapitulating; what bail taken place since the first meeting of the committee. The main object of the committee was to inquire into the merits of the petition against the return of the sitting member, but nearly all their time had been consumed in an investigation that hail been engrulledou it, with reference to the alleged abduction of witnesses with which he had nothing to do. After some further discussion the room was cleared, the committee having been in deliberation a short time.

Though a larger quantity tot rain f ell in March titan is 4 t a generally deemed desirable in that month, the reports from v the agricultural districts are, on the whole, of a satisfactory 2i character. 'fhe preparation of the Ntil tnr spring cowing lo was, in consequenev of the mild, ripen nature of the season, t. eoinntencad curlier than usual; and previous to the setting- "r u . ' in of the wet weather a verse hogs amount of work had been 1.; ! assomplisliell. 'The interruption to field labours, owing to K. the nun exlserienced nom about the middle till tie Iris• the el' close of March. has therefor,. not been of such serious in- 9s eonvenienve its might otherwise have been the ease ; and a 3 1 I comparativt ly sliort period of dm weather would probably a suffice to enable fanners to finish the stalling of the laud. v Within the last few slays the work has again been actively re:AI/11U' in toot parts of the country, the showers which !It • have fallen from time to time having heen followed by 2 ‘.. I deying winds. 'rise accounts rt sleeting the general op. so pearanee of the autumn-sown wheat an likewise favour- at. , able, and the prospects for the future are thin for by no 20 means eli-conniging. That the trade has been more or Se ' ley influenced by the weather during the last fortnight eon- 10 not he inn se . • I ; and we are inclined to think that the 5 2, I slight improvement which has been established in the value of wheat lia , been principally caused by fears of a wet, un- is genial spring. 'flue oecurrenee of anything calculated to lisp create unea . ..... in reference to the growing crops would 00 or course hate a more derided etfect ; whilst a few weeks of 11 1. 1 really menial weather would he very likely to arrest the up- '"•I ward movement. 14 , 'rho arrivals of foreign grain, pulse, mid flour into the so tufted Kingdom have- been Ina alinnilant the last week or la two than for some time prey' , ; and a great part of what 2 WC, bellies. received having be ai landed, the pressure on i the different markets has been decreased. 'There has, how- L i ' 'ever, been less activity in the trade during the interval s e ' which has ehesseel since we. last addressed OUT 1% adorn, titan m the week immediately preceding, and prieel have remained I nearly stationary at the leatlina consuming tow us. At sonic of the markets iu the rural districts rather inert wrist supplies hese been bionaht forward by the a growers; notwithstanding which, somewhat higher terms so have been realised; and though, as already remarked, 10 business has nut been brisk, the g. rwral tone lon been de- st. cidedly healthy. Tice deliveries of barley and oats by the . 25 fanners have hanlly kept pace with the demand, and :it `.. several important markets a further small rise has been established in prices. I In Ireland very little variation appears to have taken 30 Ilace in quotdions. The pressure of foreign wheat and ndian corn seems, however, to hare diminished, and for 20 both articles full prices had been made in retail. The recent slight rise in the setae of Oats on this side of the „,„ channel had induced holders to raise their pretensions, and there is consequently little or nn margin for profit on ship- so mutts of this grain from Inland to our market.. 'Very little increase has taken place in the arrivals of wheat coastwise into the port of London, only 3,157 qrs. 24 having been reported up to this (Saturday) evening. 'I he 17 show at 'Mark-lane, by land-carriage samples from the neighbouring counties, has likewise been small; but buyers • base acted with to much caution as to prevent the shortness of the supply being telt. On Wednesday the Essex and Kent stands were nearly bare, and the transactions were necessarily on a retail scale • in which position of attitirs quotations rentained nominally unaltered. On Friday we had a run or two fresh up front Essex, and some of the mil lers appear to entertain the notion that the deliveries are likely to be out a more liberal scale next week. There was, 2, at all events, les., inclination to purchase, and the trade So finished very languidly at last alon.lay's currency. The arrivals of Wheat front abroad hare been quite mode- 40 rate; but, having previously a considerable quantity on 23 board ship, WC have experienced no scarcity. Most of our large millers have still stocks of foreign Wheat on hand, 121 and the country demand having been ou quite a retail scale 24 ' throughout the week, the transactions have been altogether fe unimportant; sellers have nevertlftless remained firm, and good qualities were quite as dear at the close as in the cont. meneement of the week. We have just now very little Polish Odessa or other southern kinds of Wheat offering ' and the operations in these• descriptions, free on bused., , have been inconsiderable since this day se'nnight. The off,•rs front the Baltic have, on the other hand, increased ; and, though there has not been much inclination to pur chase, a few bargains have been closed. Good qualities of lower Baltic red have been offered at 395. per quarter cost and freight, and some very serviceable high-mixed Dantsie IS at 40s. per quarter free on board. 61 The sale tor flour has been slow; but the upward move ment which has taken place of late in the price of wheat SI has prevented any decline in the value of the manufactured 3 article. The receipts from France have been less abundant 7 i than but week, and the finest samples have been held very 61 firmly at previous terms. English barley has not excited much attention • and, 10 should the weather set in warm, 'the inquiry for Malting 20 sorts would fall off materially. The supply has quite 3 kept pace with the demand this week, and on Friday the , turn was rather in favour of the buyer. Foreign Barley has been in steady demand fur grinding ; and, though there so was rather less doing towards the close than in the early 12 part of the week. the recently-established advance was It finale maintained, really good heasy parcels being held at 20s. 1141. to 21s. per qr.

It is said that some facts have recently come to light which entitle the statement to credit. Professor Solomon, of Har rodsburgh, Kentucky, has successfully applied the power of carbonic acid gas as a substitute for steam in propelling enginery for every purpose. The power of this gas has long been known to chemists, but their inability to regulate and govern it has prevented its use as a propelling agent. Pro lessor Salomon claims to be able to control it with perfect safety, and asserts that it will afford • power equal to steam in one-fiftieth of the space, and one-hiusdredth part of the expense, with both furnace and boilers. Experiments have recently been made in Cincinnati, which arc said to be en tirely satisfactory.—Nashrilk (United States) Banner. Under the influence of the renewal of purchases by the government broker, Consols opened this morning with increased firmness, ut an improvement of Z. which has since been steadily maintained, notwithstanding the absence of any important busi ness of a character calculated to sustain the market. In the other stock now open for business by special transfer. theoperat ions are also upon a moderate scale. It:appears from the official returns that the sum which will have tobc invested in the purchase of Three lwr Cent stuck, on account of the Commissioners fur the Reduc tion of the National I /Ott during the quarter ending the rttli of July next, is 641,701/.; and it cannot be doubted that, in the absence of any serious counteract ing influence, the effect of these purehases,added to the reinvestments of the receivers of di% ideuds (which are payable to-day), will communicate an upward tendency to prices. Consols have been steady all day at the improved price of 961 to .11. both fur money and 'fhuusdaa• next. Arrangements for the settlement of the month's account in this market are occupying the• attention of the dealers, but the "diffimences” will prove light. The official report of business is : Three per Cent. Consols, 96Z, ; ditto for account, Z ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 90, New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 97;Z, I; Long An nuities, expiring, 1660, 7 5-16, Exchequer Bills are firm, nt the improvement recently noticed. All sizes mark srts. and 48s. premium; India Bonds, under I,OOOL, 6.ss. premium. There is not the least disposition to operate in the foreign securities, and prices are nominally (wiled at yesterday's rangy. Mexican and Spanish Bonds continue flat. Russian stocks, on the other hand, remain firm, with some demand for investment. The business list of the morning embraces the fol lowing descriptions only: Mexican Bonds tar for the account of the 16th of April, 33,Z, Peru vian Deftrecsl, 39.1tussian Five per Cents., 11l ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 191 Z, 1. Spanish Active Five per Cents., for account, 21. The committee of Mexican Bondholders have at length received another communication front Mr. Faleonnet, ern New York, hut with that itutehicity which attends them, the letter is delivered a week after its time, and its intelligence, such us it is, is • fortnight old, and not of the least value. The com mittee s abstract is us follows : The comuunll,•e of Mexican bondholders have, by the .\sea, received advice* front Mr. Falcsomet, dated ffexico, I•ith February bo, to the following effect : "'fife accept-' alive of the decree of the 11th October by Ow bondholders had only been rill:iv, d there on the lith February, and as M. F.,teva, if he should finally decide to accept the ministry of finance, would and cuter on the office until the pith February, Mr. Faleonnet, at the date of his letter, had not of thurse at yet rteive d a reply to the formal notice which he had :tddrc,..ed to M.lluici, provisionally charged with the direction attic department of finance, that the &Tree was accepted, and that he was ready to receive the 2,500,000 dol.. comic; to the bondholders out of the American indemnity money. Mr. Falcomtet expre.ses regret that the decree had Ixen accepted in Loudon, thinking that he might have done hitter in Mexico ; but he has no doubt that the Mexican government will carry out the arrangement en tered iutu in good faith " As n week ago it was said M. Eateva had arrived nt Mexico from Vera Crux, Mr. Falentmet's com munication has no significance in reference to him. As to the more serious matter, in the delay of the decree for trunsliTring the 2, - 01,000 dots. of the in- . . demnity money, no satisfactory explanation has yet been offered. Even if M. Payno has been too un well to attend to his office, and M. Estcva slow in arrival, there ought to be no difficulty in signing the ' decree. It is a mere fonnal document consequent on the law pissed by Conqrcss, and, as M. Payno was the minister who pissed the law through, so natu rally should he countersign the decree, even although oulv holding the office wi interim. This he could do if he did not personally attend, for he was well enough to carry on negotiations about ministries and seats in the cabinet. Even if he were not culled upon to sign, any other member of the cabinet holding the portfolio pro troopore could countersign the Pre sident's decree. _ . • _ . It is vcry much to be regretted that Mr. Falcon net should, in accordance with the original policy inculcated to him, hold out the convention as pre judicial, when he must now know well enough that no delay to its acceptance ought to have been allowed. It is still mure to be regretted that, fur whatever purpose, the committee should put forward trash calculated to mislead the public. That they are under no fear of disturbing the entirety of Mr. Fal connet's correspondence may be augured from their non-publication of the following »v,reeam, which would, however, be a fitting termination : Mr. Falconnet also states in his letter that the Mexican government was transported with joy' on the announcement of the acceptance of the tenns proposed by the Mexican government to the bond holders." According to some accounts the ministers "danced with joy," but considering they had nothing to do with the origination of the measure, and care very little about it, their enthusiasm would be rather mis placed. The amount of profit earned by the Royal Mail Steam Company for the year just closed is 143,3621. As the usual rate of dividend only requires 59,3601., some anxiety is expressed whether tho forthcoming dividend will be more than 21. per share, as the re served profits are already very large.

NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. Last evening the third monthly aoir , e, in fur therance of the principles of this association, took place at the London Tavern, Bishmrcgate-street. Sir JUSIILIA 11".tt.Mst.rny, M.l'. the president, in the chair. The CIIMIOI.IN, Mice some remarks as to the objects of the association, oloerved that the object of these meetings was to disseminate mama political information, and thus to pave the way fur those peaceful and constitutional change', which are us much In unison with the genius of the wople us they arc just and desirable. Mr. M I.ILL, in commencing his lecture observed that tko sul _abject he had Chosen was that of the franchise considered as an instrutuent of the people's training; and its a orking out this theme, he proposed to show that the great mass of the people ought to have some power in the control of public affairs. Let each man, he observed, a)w had arrived at his majority have a vote, nut by virtue of his property or position in society, but by virtue of his manhood. With this advantage the people would la lifted into a position for the formation of their character, moral, social, and political. liy giving them a voice in the representation they would be doing that which would not only be beneficial in its kind but potent in its working. (Hear, hear.) The national character was a growth, not a manufacture. It wile evolved, not made. The people could nut be drilled into virtue. Man must be led, not driven; and human nature in the aggre gate did not differ in any material degree from human nature in the individual. It was nut possible by any pliy I- cal power to raise man's nature, or to dignify his character. Neither greatness nor goodness could he brought to a people —it must be elicited from them, and this could only be done by a species of moral fermentation, which truth alone was capable of producing. With regard to the elective fran chise, he observed that the proper way to fit a man fur the right use of it WILY to give it to him, and let him accustom himself to the exercise of it. lie contended that the franchise would exercise a powerful influence upon the public by engendering a sense of mil respect, as there was a nobility in the nature of man which would exhibit itself in all phases of life. Make a people practically sensible of their own worth, and they will put theca at suer on the high road to improvement ; but de spise: them, and tell them that they were worthless, and you will lay them open to the worst and basest temptations that could beset humanity. If statesmen and " philoso phers " were wise they would regard man as man, instead of paying that exclusive homage to that about him which was merely adventitious. Throughout Europe, restrictions and exclusions were fast disappearing, and examples were thus presented to the government of this country. Man had been treated quite long enough like a wild beast, safe only when securely caged, and the time had now arrived when he should be placed in a position more honourable to humanity. The people should be trained in a feeling of attachment for the government and the constitution, and the proper mode of encouraging them to nurture and ex hibit that attachment was to give them their right—the franchise. The hon. gentleman concluded his lecture (of which we have only been able to give a brief abstract) amid prolonged cheers. Mr. It. LE BLOND proposed, and Mr. E. CLARKS seconded, a resolution expressing the thanks of the meeting to Mr. Miall for his able lecture, and at the same time acknowledging the importance of the principles and objects of the association. Sir F. KNOWLES, But., supported the resolution, and pointed out the necessity of obtaining contributions towards the fund for defraying the espcmes of this and similar assemblages. The resolution was carried unanimously. After some little discussion, in which some irrelevant matter was sought to be introduced, Use meeting separated with a tote of thanks to the chairman. FLAX-SEED AS FOOD FOR CATTLE.—At the last monthly meeting of the committee of the Royal Irish Flax Society, held at Belfast, among the correspondence sub mitted to the meeting were letters from Mr. Dorgan, in which he &ilea the following report of his use of flaxseed as food for all kinds of live stock "The value of the seed, for feeding purposes, is a subject exceedingly well worth careful examination. Every beast, pig, and sheep I have, are getting prepared flaxseed food, and I mud you the results would astonish you. I quite feel that, as a far mer, I could do no good without it, whilst with it I can do mote than I anticipated could be done by agriculture. When I entered on Kildinen , I bought some 300 head of cattle, and some 60 or 70 pigs, as poor and bad a stock as could be found. List summer I decided on getting rid of them, and put them up this year ; though, from their bad description, they are not in very high condition, they are sufficiently forward to enable me to sell them in fair term; but this has been, I may say, entirely done by the flaxseed, as they have been only fed on straw and turnips with it."
