FARRING DON. -- IN CENDIAR Y FIRES AT IDSTONE AND ASHRURY.—A reward of 100/. has been announced on conviction of the principals in the late Idstone and Ashbury incendiary fires, with her Majesty's free pardon to any ac complice, and we sincerely trust that this may be the means of discovering and bringiug to justice the guilty pa r ti el, _ Wilts Standard. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY such terms, and yet we find some of our contempo raries sneering at the appointment of a Committee, and hinting that " the alleged invention can scarcely be worth the pains of another solemn inquiry, even by a body so little oppressed with business as the House of Peers." But why should we feel surprise as such a course ? No great discovery has ever been brought to light without having been some time exposed to the sar casms of the ignorant, the prejudiced, and the self sufficient. The speculations of the elder STEPHENSON as to the capabilities of his locomotive were as strongly ridiculed ; the Marquis of WORCESTER was deemed a visionary and a dreamer, and we have no doubt that even JAMES WATT and RICHARD ARKWRIGHT were in their time " laughed to scorn" by would-be leaders of public opinion, wise only in their own conceits. It is indeed the common condition of which every per son who has ventured out of the beaten track and introduced any novelty has acquired bitter expe • rience. We do not by any means yield unbounded cre dence to all that has been asserted respecting these discoveries ; nor should we feel in any degree asto nished if the sanguine anticipations that have been entertained should be by no means realized. But there is far more than sufficient not only to justify, but to imperatively demand the most strin gent and searching inquiry. The vast importance of the subject is recognised on every side. The most decided advocate of the doctrines of the Peace Society, even the gentleman whose lucubrations were so happily quoted in the House of Commons by Lord PALMERSTON, might rejoice at the introduction of a plan that would render war impossible, would completely set aside the inva sion panic, and reduce the expenses for our national defences within the narrowest limits. That all those objects would be accomplished if Captain WARNER is to be credited, is beyond the pos sibility of doubt, and surely, under such cir cumstances, so long as there is, we shall not say a probability, but even a remote possibility of his a ssertions being well-founded, we should no t b e justified in ref us i ng th a t w hi c h m i g ht on an emer gency prove the salvation and secur ity o f our coun try. L et us then se e w h e th er sufficient evidence has t not been long since adduced to entitle Captain WARNER to the searching investigation which he has courted. In the first place, the rank, character, and position of the gallant officer entitle him to some degree of credence, making a prima facie case in favour of his allegations. He is no unknown empiric, seeking notoriety at any cost. He has acquired experience and reputation in the service of hia country, and when he risks his character for truth and integrity, everything that a man of honour and a gentleman holds dear, he places no trifling stake on the result. Again, it is certain that he has received the most tempting offers from foreign potentates, that he might have realised a gigantic fortune had he accepted any one of the propositions ; but, notwithstanding all that had taken place, although he was informed on the part of the Government that he was at li berty to take his inventions wherever he pleased, he refused to adopt a course which might have occa sioned incalculable injury to his not very grateful Country. He even consented to relinquish an ex ceedingly remunerative engagement at the request of his late Mejesty YaLLIA➢i IV., although his efforts would not have been directed _against any of his compatriots. Sa far we have the strongest guarantees in the conduct and position of the gentle man himself, which would alone justify the required investigation. But in addition thereto proofs have been adduced which, although perhaps not conclusive, yet afforded great encouragement as to its ultimate success. It was acknowledged that nothing could be more complete than the destruction of the John O'Gaunt ; but still parties, who did not understand the mode by whi c h i t was effected, considered that it could not be made avail able in the face of an enemy, and others thought that the plan was identical with one brought forward in 1803, and which then proved a failure. These points were denied on the part of the inventor. He must substantiate his assertions before the Committee, the onus probandi rests on his shoulders, and the extent of success which he met with entitles him to claim a reasonable opportunity for substantiating his assertions.

London Terminus, May VAUXUALL GARDENS.—The direction has been indefatigably engaged in perfecting various improvements in this ancient and popular place of summer resort. Vauxhall Gardens will positively wear a new face; the old conven tionalities have been ignored, the arcades partially trans formed, the entrances beautified, a new mode of lighting of especial brilliancy introduced, and each " cranny and nook" of the Royal property is now cha racterised by some new design. The old eques trian arena has been removed, and a very elegant g theatre buil*, to be dev o t e d to the performances of ballets, su ppo r ted by celebrat e d d ancers from the Grand Opera a t Paris. Two new cafés h ave b een erecte d un d er t h e surveil lance of a French chef de cuisine, so that no means have been di sre garded to render V auxhall Gardens worthy of its ancient renown, as one of the most remarkable " pleasure spots" in Europe.

Judging from its experience of the last few weeks, the country will have reason to bear the present session in remembrance, not merely as the one ren dered remarkable for the production of the stand still Budget, but for the laborious efforts to do abso lutely nothing, made with so much ostentation in the way of debate and adjournment by the Members of the lower branch of the Imperial Legislature. It is lamentable, indeed, to contrast the amount of the Parliamentary business to come, with the amount of the Parliamentary business actually accom plished. A cluster of ant-hills in one direc tion Pelion piled upon Ossa in another. Unhappily the performances of the session may be very readily particularised. Not so its short comings and defalcations. The one catalogue might not only, so to speak, be enclosed in a nutshell, but have room to spare ; while the other would be almost as hopeless to dream of compiling as that of the unfortunate library at the British Museum. Several of the most important subjects requiring reform have, as the people know too well, been summarily dismissed from the attention of Parliament. To expect that any thing decisive could be attempted in the present state of the House of Commons, with the existing confusion of parties, with a newly-constituted Government and a scarcely-organized Opposition, would, of course, be altogether preposterous. Nothing could reasonably be looked for in the way of really comprehensive im provements on the eve of a general election, by a Parliament in its decrepitude, or by a Cabinet in almost the first hour of its existence. Procrastina tion was inevitable immediately Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his colleagues had resigned. The more rational observers throughout the community made up their mind, from the moment Lord DEBBY was sent fur by the SOVEREIGN, to witness the delay of the most notable questions of the age, until such time as the Le. . gislature had been dissolved, and Ministers had for mally appealed to the population. That delay, in fact, was manifestly essential under the circumstances. It was not only judicious, moreover—lt was entirely unavoidable. The members of the new Cabinet were powerless, according to the spontaneous acknow ledgment of their leader, because in the House of Commons they felt satisfied they were in a minority. Therefore it was that from the morning of their ad vent to power they avowed, as plainly as could be expressed in language, their anxiety to go to the country at the earliest opportunity—declining to spe cify even the probable period of dissolution until the various annual estimates had been granted, and the imperatively requisite business of the session had been accomplished. With so many Free-traders in the Lower House, they naturally recognised on the instant the impossibility of carrying out in the present Parliament the very principle in the name of which they can alone be said to have accepted the responsi bility of Government. They confessed as much them selves through the inaugural address of the First Lord of the Treasury. Nay, more than that—the Earl of DEBBY went so far in the unburthening of his con science upon the subject, that he referred in explicit terms to the likelihood of the cause held dear by him self and his supporters not meeting with that en couragement from the nation at large which, he had the manly resolution to assert, could alone justify the reversal of the new system inaugurated by the Free traders. Avowing so much, it was obviously absurd to look for anything like Ministerial activity from the DERBY••DISRAELI Cabinet during the continuance of the present Parliament. All that remained to be done by the Legislators was at once and at a glance appreciable. The Commons had to vote the supplies, and after having hurried as rapidly as might be consistent with the sedate re sponsibilities of their senatorial office, the Members of both Houses were to prepare themselves for the crowning event of their labours—a dissolution. Festina lenle might have been regarded, indeed, as their most appropriate motto—to which, however, they have accorded only a one-sided attention, having most assuredly "hastened slowly" with a vengeance. At the commencement of the existence of the pre sent Cabinet we were for a considerable period —as an independent organ, altogether unconnected either with the old or with the new Government—isolated in our protests, loudly and earnestly expressed against the pitiful and petulant course pursued by what we were compelled in justice to designate as nothing less than a glaringly factious opposition. Since that period fourteen weeks have elapsed, the supplies have been long since granted, and the financial statement has been formally made to the House of Commons by the newly-installed CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Ample time has likewise been afforded Parliament for getting through the routine business of the session, by the neglect of which the affairs of the country might have been involved in some con fusion. Yet not a whisper has, up to this moment, been heard as to the intention of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, or as to the likely period of the long-ex pected and long- delayed dissolution. Remembering our past course, remembering our anxiety that something like fair play should be shown to a Cabinet created out of an Emergency, remembering the indignant terms in which we reprobated the factious course pursued at the beginning of the session by her MAJESTY'S Opposition, it may surely be granted that in maintain ing at this time the necessity for some more candid and energetic policy on the part of the Government, we, at any rate, are not acting with any culpable degree of precipitation. Unless Ministers would render themselves as unpopular as their pre decessors had become prior to their resignation, they will assuredly act differently towards the popu lation. The people are sick at heart with these delays and postponements. They yearn to witness an end of these sessions dawdling on from early spring into autumn without producing any single fruit cal culated to benefit the condition of the multitude. Rather than this they would adopt the national cry of the Yankees "Go a-head " rather than continue that ejaculation of " All right," which "Boz" declared in his American Notes to be characteristic of an Englishman. _ After incessant exertion for nearly the third part of a century—after expending considerable sums of money in necessary experiments, and impoverishing himself by the heavy outlay—Captain WARNER hss at length succeeded in obtaining a Parliamentary in quiry into the merits of his inventions and on the several reports connected therewith. The terms are certainly not calculated to afford undue encourage ment to inventors, or to induce men of genius to abandon their own private pursuits for the purpose of devoting their time, their labour, and their resources to the development of matters of the most vital importance to the nation. The Committee will hear the state ments of the gallant officer. They will subject him to the most stringent cross-examination, insist on the most unreserved explanations on every point, the most complete revelations, so that there shall be no longer any " secret," and then if the assertions of the inven tor are fully verified, and the most sanguine anticipa tions of his friends realised, there is no pledge that he shall receive a single farthing—that he shall be in any degree benefited, or receive any recompense, how ever trifling, f or th e annoyance an d vexation which he has encounte re d i n hi s e ff or t s t o render his dis cmoivgehrtierseauvoanilaabbllye b f e or su t p h p e os s e e d rv t i ti c a e opponent could not object to the investigation on, t°fthheismcoosutnctrayp-tioulst EVENING, THE SHARE MARKETS.

The following information concerning the agricultural and general prospects of California, with the nature of the soil and climate, are from a private letter just re ceived " We arrived at San Francisco on the 24th Novem ber, 1850, with five shillings sterling to start with; found times there rather dull for California, but had the good luck to meet with many kind people, which was fortunate, as I was soon after taken ill with dysentery, &c., and continued pretty bad for nearly two months. It was well I brought my wife along to nurse me, or I might have sto o d a f a i r chance of kicking the bucket in earnest. About the end of January last we suc ceeded in removing to Santa Clara Valley, about fifty miles from San Francisco, where I intended to go at gardening, raise murphies, &c. Not having any capital of m y own I was obliged to work on shares, but met with no less than three disappointments, or rather failures from parties to fulfil their parts of agree ment. I finally got a small patch under cultivation on my own account, but the season was so uncommonly dry that the crop was not worth harvesting, so I thought I would try my luck at the mines. We left Santa Clara Valley about Ist of September last, and after 150 miles' journey over hills, dales, rivers, &c., reached the Chinese diggings on the fifth day. Here we remained for near two months, owing to the want of water to wash the earth, and times, were dull at all the dry diggings; such as had springs or wells, to obtain a little water, were making about half an ounce, or 8 dollars per day. At the Chinese I found mining too hard work, and soon gave it up; very few can stand the work for any length of time without injuring their health, and as I mean (D.V.) to try and live to see you all again, I determined to go at gardening again, and am now located within three miles of Stockton, and have very good prospects of doing well. I have now given you a brief account of my peregrinations, &c., up to this time, and will now giveyou some particulars of the country, &c. Most persons hove very strange notions respecting California; many think it is a barren, mountainous country. Some portions of course are, but there are parts as fine as any in the world. Most of Santa Clara Valley (which is about 80 miles in length by 20 in breadth) is a splendid country. It looks like an extensive demesne; the soil is very good; about a tit z ?n varieties of clover grow there, and wild oats are to be found in many parts of the valley and on all the hills and mountains. For eight or nine months in the year the country is actually covered with flowers of every hue; many of them are very pretty. I enclose a few seeds we gat h ere d f or you . Th e coun t r y a round 4 Stockton is also very good and land excellent, and there are many other parts of California, that I have not seen, which aro equally good, and on the whole it is really a flee country. As to climate it is compared by many to Italy. With the exception of my illness at San Fran cisco after lauding, I have never enjoyed better health. I used to be troubled in Canada with a kind of asthma, but hero I never had the slightest symptom of it ; people expose themselves here more than in any other country I know of. We have slept nights and nights on the ground in the open air and never got even a cold. My present habitation is a tent made of drill stuff, and we feel comfortable enough in same as far as warmth is concerned. The only com plaint wo all make of the weather since my arrival is that it keeps too fine; there was but very little rain last winter, and this is promising to be a similar one. There have scarcely been twenty wet or showery days since I arrived. It never rains here during the summer and autumn, and it is astonishing to see the uncommon fine crops and vegetables that grow here. I do not know whether you have any taste for farming, so I will not now give you an epistle on the subject. If I only knew what would interest you moat I could easily fill up this sheet. This is the country to make the Oro—there are so many chances. Any persona that only acts pru dently and minds himself cannot fail of doing well in the course of a few years. If I only had a car I might make a nice little fortune in a few years. No less than four stages pass daily from Stockton to Sonora and vice versa; they are always crammed—fare, 20 dollars, or 4 1 . sterling—distance, 65 miles, which is performed in about eight hours. Th e stages cannot take one quar t er ofthe wh ich occupy severa l h ave to go b y W occupy two days, as the same horses a' s g _ e g d a e r n e the entire dist a nce. Horses are on barley—here it is very dearfeed. . Tho per lb.

From Vienna we learn that the principal agent of the Austrian Northern Railway had absconded, leaving liabilities on the Bourse amounting to 200,000 florins. His losses are estimated at 325,000 flsrins. The rains that have fallen in Belgium are , re ported to have clone much good. The cattle was greatl y i mproved green feed for end Caere was material I relief Ofordtd thezeby • , The advices from the United States report favourably of the money market, although no advance had occurred in the rate of ex, !ange. The amount of Bullion exported to England from Pa nama in 1350 and 1351 was 27,000,000 dollars. The amount of specie received at New York during the four months of this year ending the 30th ult., was 11,000,000 dollars, and the vit4te of the exports of merchandise from New York, last month, was 11,489,000 dollars. Messrs. Baring Brothers have announced their inten tion to pay from the funds remitted to them the half of a half-year's dividend on Buenos Ayres Stock. The English Funds keep very firm, although quiet. Consols have been 99i a for Transfer, and 991 for Account. The New Throe-and-a-Quarter per Cents. hava been marked 1004 to 101, and the Three per Cents. 984 to 99. Bank Stock has been quoted 219:1 to 2201, being very full prices. Exchcquer-bills, dated March, are at 71s. to 745. premium. It is expected the bankers will be compelled to come in as buyers of stock to employ their money. Foreign Securities have been generally flatter. Mexi• can Bonds have been quoted 311 to I- for tho old Five per Cents., and 24k to s for the Three per Cents.

French Shares are quiet. Californian Shares are firm. The news is very fir vourable from the mines. Australian keep steady. Corso3s QUARTER TO THREE. 991 Ditto Account.

MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE—(3IONDAY.) Tho supplies of Wheat on sale in moat of the country markets held on Saturday were by no means extensive; nevertheless the demand for all kinds ruled heavy st s decline in the quotations of is per quarter. Fine malt ing Barley was scarce, and held.at full prices, but grind' ing and distilling; sorts were lower to p urc h ase . Mil end Oats realized previous rates; whilst th e value 01 both Beans and Peas was well supported. In Flour very little was doing and low qualities were easier. Most of the continental shipping markets have bee° in a very inactive state, arieieg from the want of orders from this side. In the general quotations, however, 13° material change h as t a k en place. Bather large quanti ties,,c of Flour c on ti nue to change hands in the Uri",' States for shipment to England. The arrivals of Erigli e h grain up to our market 1 1 week were v er y mo d erate. Those frcm abroad aureole, to 3,672 q uarters o f Wheat, 8,380 Barley, 3,906 4:)°, 35 Peas, 550 Tares, 1,139 Linseed, 3,002 Rapesee d, Mustard Seed, 1,615 sun d ry seeds, 110 sacks and 39 ) 335 barrels of Flour. The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to this rhor a ing's market, coastwise from Essex, was rp,oderate; we had a fair pre ii of samples from Kent, Suffo'..so &c. By l an d carr i age t h e receipt . of t h at gra in W e i se comparatively small; hence, the total supply wa s a from extensive. Notwithstanding that the importsive American Flour last week were on a very otten s s scale, and that the fine rains are calculated to have most beneficial effect upon the growing crops, the ac . counts respecting which are very favourable, the d e mend for all kinds of Wheat of home produce,. aris ing from the increased attendance of both town and country millers (most of whom were very short of stock). Wil s _ steady, at prices quite equal to those of Monday las t, sad a good clearance was effected. •11 Th e transactions for forward delivery were on I mitcd scale. Holders in general were firm in their de mands. We were very scantily supplied with fine foreig n Wh e ats, in which a fair average business was transact"' at fully last week's currency. In low and middling, kinds next to nothing was doing, yet we have no actu al fall to notice in their value. For export we heard of no sales, and floating carta_ A es were nominally unaltered. The arrivals are very The few samples of Malting Barley on offer chsvg e hands freely, at full quotations. Grinding and distillivg sorts commanded very little attention, yet holders ry fused to accept lower rates. Most kinds of Malt—the show of which was Dio de. ted rate—sold slowly, yet late currencies w ere w ell suPP"- t There was a slightly improv e d i cqu i r y f o r Oats, s t. prices quite r qua ! to these paid on this day se'nhigh" The imports from abroad continues tolerably .good. at Beaus were in short supply, full quotati ons . and moderate inquiry/ Very few Peas were brought forward.
