By finstructions o‘ the House the Committee have cited *the President of the Telegraph Company to appear before them and produce the papers. [t is quite certain, we believe, that the House has the power to call for "persons and papers‘" required in eviâ€" dence in any matter which is under inâ€" vestigation. _ The disobedience of the Company, therefore, must _ arise from _ the desire to shield the Republican partizans who manipulated the vote of Louisiana. But this course will be almost as damaging to those it is intended to serve as the production of the papers would be, for the public generally _will be apt to think that papers which â€" cannot bear the light must be bad indeed. The gradually increasing and present high price of ipetroleum or kerosene cil for illuminating purposes, bas given rise to rome enquiries into, the cause of the adâ€" rance. Various causes have been assignâ€". 1, but they may be reduced to three, â€":st increased demand for the article, sscond decreased or failing supply, and third the operations of a huge monopoly. Taking the last first, it is stated that the trade in petroleum oils is practically conâ€" trolled by the Standard Oil Company, which is the owner of most of the prinâ€" cipal wells in the United States and the possessor of capital to the extent of twenty millions of dolHars. The trade is regulated for the special interest and profit of this Company, and the prices are put up to those figures which ensure for it xorbitant dividends. It is estimated that t 60 cents per gallon, the use of this oil an illuminating agent will be less econâ€" omical and profitable to the consumer than other kinds of oil. But the Stand ard Company think they can ultimately squeeze one dollar per gallon from the consumer, and their ambition is to reach that figure. The consumption of the article has gradually increased on this _sontinent and in Europe, until the deâ€" nand has reached something like 30,000 Jarrels per diem, twoâ€"thirds of which are taken by the {foreign~ market. The supply barely meets the demand, and this state of things favours the designs of the monopolists. But apart from this there is a prospect that the supply will gradually grow less with the exhaustion of wells. It is estimated that the known sources of supply will barely hold out for three years at the present rate of conâ€" sumption. We havebeen accustomed to hear of wells that wers inexhaustible, but this has been an exaggeration of actual fact. Bcores of the most productive wells have been exhausted and glo-od, and new fields have not been found, although diliâ€" gently sought jfor, to make up the supply. The attention of capitalists is now being turned to tllz utiliâ€" zation _ of coal _ shales . & hog deposits for the production of oil and ‘parrafin to meet the anticipated deficiency of supply from present sourcess It is doubtful, however, unless science comes to the aid of the capitalists, whether in the proposed field of enterprise an efficiâ€" eunt substitute can be found for kerosene. It seems probable, therefore, that we must look chiefly to our coal fields in the future to supply our illuminary agents; and under the stimulus which may be given by a great demand for light it will not be surprising fif importaift discoveries shall be made in the art of gas making.

Before the United States Government would consent to the éxtradiâ€" tion of criminals, they firmly insisted that Her Majesty‘s Government should abandon the interpretiation‘ they had placed on the Treaty, and take a line of action in accordance with the views entertained of it at Washingtou. Her Majesty‘s Governmont, after much correspondence, very handsomely came down to fhe United States level, ordered the arrest and delivery of srext and made efftorts to arrest Wixsrow and Grix. We are not disposed to think thst Her Majesty‘s Government have, in any sense, humiliated themselves or the nation by thus giving up their position. ‘The posiâ€" tion was untenable, and in giving it up a frank and manly avowal of a blunder was admitted. The United States accept this practical admission in the spirit‘ in which it was tendered.

A Mr. Abel, who is, [ believe, a brother of the well known Berlin correspondent of the Times, has come forward to state that he made the acquaintance of a Spanish gentlemazn who was shipwrecked in the Bella and picked up at sea in the Osprey. Of itself there is nothing in a secondâ€" hand report of this kind. But the odd part is that Mr. Abel, according to bis ‘ own staiement, has te‘en the trouble to investigate the accoun of his Spanish informant, and has d‘;cove. ad that in the year 1855 a letter was pablished in a local Spanish newsy .yer,conh‘uing an account of the Spauiard‘s shipwreck on board the Bella and b‘s rescue by the Osprey. The accuracy of Mr. lfi‘bel’n story is vouched for by Mr. Karalaxe, and if it is ali true the statemeng would go a loniny to upâ€" setting the evidence on which the Claimant was convicted.

One of the former died en route to Bombay ; the other also died on arriving | at Rangcon. ‘There remained, theréfore, only the cook ; and a few speculative perâ€" sons in Rangoen hit upon the happy thought of passing off this functionary upon his Majesty as the embassy.

None of the witnesses were allowed to hear each other‘s statements, nor did any of them appear inclined to cover or, conâ€" ceal anything tboy_ knew. L ‘The whole has been very correctly reâ€" ported in the public papers, and any perâ€" son who reads the evidence carefully will, we are satisfied come to the same concluâ€" sion that we have arrived at, viz: That th6 fire was accidental and had its origin in or about Slattery‘s office. 1 The spreading with such fearful rapidity was owing to the building being open ftom end to end, and having the roof and walls lined with light dry sheeting. | This with fresh paint and grease would ac¢ount in a great measure for the rapid spread of the fire. â€" _ Wa belicve that these public markets should not be used as workshops, but kept for the sale of meat, fish, etc., from a certain hour in the morning until an appointed bour in the evening and then locked up by the Market Constable, in whose care they would remain during the night. And we consider it highly improâ€" per that butcber‘s boys should have access to any {):rt of the market buildings at unseasonable hours. The salon of,; the @Gonvent of No Dame, (Gloucester street, was last night the scene of a concert given "in festive honour to their reverend pastor, Father Collins," by the ladies and pupils of the Congregation. â€" The hall, which is & beauâ€" tiful and capacious one, was tastefully decorated, especially that part at the back of, and ove., the stage, which was fesocoeed with gracefully cnry’in‘ and unâ€" dulating evergreess, and covered with appropriate mottoes, prominent amongst ihem the words Congrogation do Notre Dome Concert. There was a very large and mmblo audience, among whom were His Lordship Bishop Duhamel, the Rev. Dr. O‘Connor, and the Rev. Fathers Collins and Dawson. The programme was commenced by a piece of inrstrumental music, in which the Mdlles M. Brannen, A.;Brannen, E. Moss, A. Aubrey, H. Street, P. Woodman, M Coleman, M. Gris| and J. _ Roos _ assisted. _ These _ ladies played three different parts at different pianos, and played well. Miss K. Brophy next gave the prologue, and was loudly applauded for herfmanner of reciting it. Next came the } with harp and piano accompaniment, which was a car iata composed and sgl\ng- eagror that special occasion. The recitaâ€" tive part was by the Misses Coleman and Brannen, and the solos were execg‘t'fd by Miss Marcoux, the Misses Bessie Caldwell and Cissy Caldwell. This composition, delivered in French, was‘very fin& exâ€" ecuted, the elocution of the pe "s and the ease and grace they mauilested winning for them universal applause and admiration,. 1 THE RIVAL VIRTUES, j represented by Misses Poivier, Fissiault, Catellier, Dnvix and Brophy, was also very much spplauded.

The style of the Mddle. Caldwell‘s singing, and the ease and grace of the harper were viewed with great favour. Dialogue of the Angels in thiee parts, (Mdlies.
