Tin " Cerrespendenoe respecting the Cagliari" raises two mein questions which it is desirable to keep distinct. One of these questions relates to the legality of the seizure; to the steps taken by the late Government, under the advice of their law officers, in reference to the matter ; and to the pre sent state of international rights thence arising. Upon this part of the case, though it is far from being exhausted, we shall at present only remark in poling that the opinions of the law officers, as pub lished in this Correspondence, contrast most unfa vourably in point of legal learning, sound logic, and completeness of research, not only with the elaborate arguments of the Sardinian jurists, but with the very able papers of Dr. PHILLIYORE and Dr. '!hiss. Other opportunities will present themselves of recurring to this branch of the subject ; what we now wish to do is to ascertain what light this " Con .. respondence " throws on the scarcely less important question, whether our late Secretary for Foreign Affairs did or did not do all that might fairly be expected from a British Minister in alleviating the imprisonment of these two British subjects, in reev ing for their release, or is insisting on their right, so long and so insultingly reseed by the Neapolitan authorities, of having free intercourse with the British Consul. The importance of this question is obvious. Lord CLARENDOS has pretty notoriously secured the allegiance of the most influential organs of the ex-Ministry. It is confidently calculated in certain qearters that a return of Lord Peammurron to power as Prime Minister must necessarily involve the restitution to Lord CLAMMIDOW cithessaisol the Foreign-4km Our readers are alresdy in pose union of our nestimati on the matter of Lord PALMERSTON'S precipitate resumption of Ministerial supremacy. We should regard such an event as a misfortune. A restoration so rapid and so unconditional would necessarily incresee that sense of indispensability, and that arrogance of power, which are scarcely com patible with the satisfactory working of our consti tutional system. A Minister thus brought back to the helm of affairs, because he alone is thought competent and ready to grasp it, would be virtually none other than a Dictator ; and Dictators, however unavoid able in great crime of state emergency, are, under any other circumstances, decidedly objectionable. This—combined with the humiliating recollection that Lord Psusrasrore on a recent occasion de graded the great power with which he was entrusted into an instrument of bass oompliancee and in tolerable concessions, is the true ground of the feeling which would regard his premature recall to the highest office in the State as anything but • matter of congratulation. Bat if it would be on this ground undesirable to have Lord PAL =WON back again, the restoration of Lord , CLUMIDON would be ten-fold more objectionable. Lord CLARRNDON, with all the more dangerous Ministerial faults of his late chief, has few of his redeeming qualities. The country his not forgotten —the country is not likely to forget—the exhibition made by Lord CLARENDON, in the House of Lords, as the defender of the WALETIRKI manifesto. The country has felt deeply humiliated by the facts, that under Lord CLUILNDON'II administration two British subjects were allowed to languish, from July to February, in Neapolitan dungeons ; that no effective attempts wen made to hasten their trial, or to miti gate their Imprisonment ; and that it was literally not till the month of November had almost passed away, that the British Foreign fieeretezy had been able to extort from the insolent stubbornness of M. CAISFA a permission for these untried and lawlessly detained men to have an interview with the British Consul. The " Correspondence" shows how these things were possible; the "Correspondence" will enable the nation to form an accurate judgment how far Lord CIARVIDON is fit to be again entrusted with the charge of the Foreign Ministry of Great Britain. It will not be necessary to drag our readers through any length of wearisome detail ; a few of the more salient points will mace. The general spiritism nese and waist of dignity betrayed in the whole course of the transaction, can of course only be adequately learnt by a oontinnoes perusal ; but an example here and there will be enough, and more than enough, to show how far Lord CLARENDON has fallen beneath the dignity of hie position, and the exigency of the 0001ai011. I; two atlas earliest despatches from our Foreign_ office relating to the affair, time of tie 24th of July and the 14th of Auguat (Noe. 9 and 11), that very excellent and resolute °dicer, Mr. Bannius (our Acting Consul at Naples). is directed to afford WATT and EOM protection, with a view to securing their proper treatment. In both these communications— fa tile first, explicitly; in the second, by reference to a letter from PARK'S father which it enclosed—tin ground is taken that both men were simply engineers on hoard the Cagliari, that they were ignorant of the objects for which the vessel was need, and had taken no part in the proceediogs that bad led to her seizure. This is important. From this it appears that Lord CIA/temoos from the first formed no other view of the case than that which all subse quent inquiry tended to our obonte and confirm— that these two prisoners were innocent sad un offending men. Let us use what he did for them. By a despatch from Mr. BARBA!, re ceived as the 19th of August (No. 13), Lord CLAZIMDON was informed of the refusal by Caw of the Consul's two d--ands—that the noon's clothes should be met to them from the skip, sod that they might be allowed an interview. Ls some bs is simply told (No. 16, August 211) to go to Sakes* and watch the proceedings at the trial; the Buns ground being ..in takes up, " that " there is no reason to doubt that they (WArr and " PARK) were merely engaged to act as engineers, " and that they had no knowledge of the intention " of certain individuals who were on board that " vessel." And yet no notice is taken of the insolent refusal to allow these prisoners —supposed to be, as they were, without offence—to have an interview with their Consul, or of the barbarous refusal to allow a change of clothing. The day after this (on the 26th of August) inquiries are, properly enough, sent to Mr. YATILa. Secan t the late Consul at Genoa, to ascertain whether Warr and Palm bad been some time in the service of the Steamboat Company, or had only been engaged on the trip (No. 16). The answer is (No. 20) that both men had been for more than two years in the Company's service, and had borne the very highest character. Meanwhile, au important episode in the narrative had occurred in Sardinia. That Government, on the 31st of July, bad demanded that the clothes and effects of the Sardinian crew should be given up to them. The reply was a refusal from M. CARAPAr of the 6th August, couched in terms so insolent that the Sardinian Government, with prompt spirit, re turned it to its author. This treatment was attended with the natural results. The offensive communica tion was withdrawn and apologised for, the clothes were restored, and all the passengers on board the Cagliari at the time of her capture were given up to the Sardinian Government. Sir JAMES HUDSON communicated these facts to the British Foreign office in a despatch (No. 18), received on the 25th of August. About the same time information reached them, as the fact was, that WATT'S health was seriously, if not dangerously, impaired by his im prisonment. Acting under these combined influences, Lard CLARINDON goes so far as to direct Mr. Hammon]; in his despatch of the Bth of September, to instruct Mr. Batumi "to obtain permission to ems him (WATT) immediately, and also to express the a , Ups ( ) of Her MAJESTY'S Government that WATT " and PARK may be treated in the same manner as " the passengers of the Cagliari have been, and be " set at liberty, u it is manifest that the engineers " on board could have had no knowledge of the " parties who took possession of the vessel when "at see." Is that language befitting an English Minister P Lord CLARENDON knows that the 'vessel was seized by insurgents ; he knows that WATT and PARK IMO her regular engineers—men of the highest character; he feels oor.fident that they could have had no guilty knowledge of the designs of thou who seised the vessel, and, therefore, he instructs a British Consul to sue with bated breath for permission to see one of these unrighte ously imprisoned men, whose health is giving way ander his confinement. The request was, of course, refused : in a despatch received the 29th of Septem ber, Mr. BARBAR relates the refusal; and as to the probable commencement of the trials, states that he Can obtain nothing more from M. CARATA than the indefinite assurance that they will take place before very long (in qusai gionsi). This intelligence has the effect of bringing Lord CLutut4DON in person upon the field of controversy. The position was no doubt such as imperatively to call for superior inter vention ; but in what shape and with wbat lan guage? When a god descewlc 7..p0n the scene, the least he can do is to speak in godlike accents; he is not there to whisper in the bated breath of humble ness, or to complain in the shrill treble of senility. We do not hesitate to say that, considering the Go vernment he represented and the cause he was advo cating, it is impossible to conceive anything more miserable and paltry than Lord CLARENDON'S de 'patch of Oct. Bth (No. 24). Instead of insisting on the instant liberation of these men, his lordship informs Mr. BARBAR that "as these persons are "stated to have been actually employed on board the " Cagliari, while that vessel was engaged in landing " a revolutionary party on the Neapolitan coasts, " her MAJRBTT'S Government do not claim to with " draw them from the fair operation of the Neapo litan law." Instead of insisting on an immediate permission for an interview with their Consul, his lordship makes the right to demand an interview dependent on the contingency of there being " any " positive and publicly known regulation which pre " eludes prisoners oonfined before trial on such a " charge u that brought against these men from " communicating with their Consul." Godlike accents these indeed : the true language of a British Minister when engaged in the protection of foully wronged British citizens. The conception of * roar " ing as gently as a sucking dove" belongs to Bitaserr.sas ; the prerogative of talking "amiable " thunder" belongs CO CLARENDON. We are really almost ashamed to follow step by step the ignominious narrative. Warr goes frantic and attempts to commit suicide. Banta& relates the fact (No. 26), states further instances of peremptory and positive refusal of an interview, and intimates that the commencement of the trial is as doubtful as ever. PARK, the father, follows this by a letter of ago nising entreaty (No. 27), earnestly imploring Lord CLARENDON that something should be done. Then the god appears again. On the 29th of October (No. 29), Lord CLARENDON writes to Mr. BARBAR in these terms —" I hays " further to instruct you, if you are allowed to see PARK and WATT in compliance with the demand " you hays been ordered to make, to proceed to " Salerno, and to ask them most particularly about " the treatment they have received, and whether " they tare in say way been tortured or sisejoetod to " bodily pain or pureeing, and to tell thaw that the " Government has its eye upon them, and teal gad rare that no injustice is done them." We have heard of virtue in an "if ;" but we never knew be fore its full capacity for banner. This is about the meanest " if," we think, recorded in history. But the whole letter is inexpressibly base. What! A British Minister can quietly cause inquiries to be made whe ther two British subjects, whom he knows to be re spectable, whom he firmly believes to be absolutely void of all offence, have been subjected to torture in the course of their unjust captivity. He can mock these poor men by instructing his agent to tell them " that " Government has its eye on them," though for nearly four months at that very time the "eye of Govern " meet," as that agent has repeatedly informed him, " has never been allowed to penetrate into their " dungeon." He can instruct a British Consul to assure British citizens that the British Govern ment "will take care that no injustice is done them ;" and this in the same breath in which he directs them to be asked whether they have not been subject to bodily torture in their unwarrantable captivity. Is imprisonment without cause and ageing right no injustice? Is torture while undergoing such imprisonment no injustice? And yet can a British Minister have the face to tell two English men whom he knows to have been wrongfully im prisoned, and suspects of having been tortured, that their Government will take care that no injustice is done them ? Surely it cannot be necessary to go terther. Surely, unless the ancient pride and spirit of Baglishroun is clean gone !be ever, we have said anasch, and more than enough, to show that Lard Ctrannzxim can never again be allowed to repro nut, am Foreign Minister of this country, the Ma , jestr of England in presence of the nations of Earops.

On the Ath of March the arrangements on both sides of the Ooomtee for the attack were completed. On the 9th of March Sir J. therm turned the enemy's first great line of defences by an enfilading fire, and the Martiniere was stormed by the second division, ander Sir B. Lugard. On the 10th of March Sir Colin Campbell seized the Bank-house, and took up an advanced position in front of it. Sir J. Outram pushed forward his advances on the left of the Ooomtee, the resistance of the enemy being obstinate. On the 11th of March her Majesty's 42nd and 93rd Highlanders stormed the Begum's Palace, and Sir J. Outram crossed the Goomtee and occupied the buildings in front of the Palace. In these operations our loss was ander 100 killed and wounded. Among the killed are Captain Mac donald, her Majesty's 93rd; Captain Cooper, Rifle Brigade; Captain Moorsom, Staff. On the 13th of March a sap was run np to the Lamborn, which is close to the walled enclosure of the Haiserbagh. On the 14th of March the Imambarra was stormed, and the troops, following close on the re tiring enemy, entered the Kaiserbegh with them. The contest lasted until 3 o'clock p.m., by which time Sir Colin Campbell was in tall possession of the Haiserbagh. On the 16th of March, the enemy, after the fall of the Kaiserbagh, having commenced their flight from the city, Brigadier Campbell, with a brigade of cavalry and horse artillery, was despatched in pursuit. Sir Hope Grant also advanced to Sesta poor, on the direct road to Rohilcund, with 1,000 sabres, to intercept the fugitives who might be forced in that direction by Brigadier Campbell. Up to the 16th of March the enemy still occupied some parts of Lncknow, but intelligence of Sir C. Campbell's reduction and occupation of the whole city is hourly expected. THE DOAB.

The trick was achieved by putting down ordinary expenses of the Minister at War under the head of extraordinary expenses, and in this way a large part of the ordinary budget was covered by loans, which were represented as being wanted, only for extraordinary expenses. M. Val try, the Councillor of State, and M. Lequien, the reporter, made very lame answers to this unex pected exposure. A great many deputies said privately that M. 011ivier was quite right, but on a division he was supported only by the three depu ties who, with himself, constitute the small opposi tion team, M. Darimon, member for Paris, Dr. Henon, of Lyons, and M. Cure, of Bordeaux. The Bonne opened with increased heaviness, and the Rents for account, which yesterday closed at 69fr. 400., declined to 69fr. 25c. This very low quotation brought forward buyers, and the brisk upward movement towards the close brought the Bente up to 69fr. 46c., with a rise of 6c. For cash there was a fall of 10c., the last price being 69fr. 26c. Mobilier, after having been quoted at 710 fr., re covered to 730 fr.—closing with a fall of only 3fr. The. The Orleans, Northern, and Eastern Rail ways were firm in the afternoon, and closed with a rise of 2fr. 60c. each. Western and Southern fell 2fr. 60c. each; and Lyons, lfr. 25c. A discount of 1,700 Bezier shares was placarded, and it was an nounced that the company had received the authorisation to commence carrying goods. The line rare 7fr. 60c. The Credit Mo bilier shareholders are in very low spirits. It is generally agreed that 1837 was a dis astrous year for this once all-powerful company, and as the day of the annual general meeting (April 27), approaches the hopes of anything like a res pectable dividend become less and less. But what is more discouraging still, there is no prospect of any improvement in 1868. During the three months of the current year which have already ex pired, the Credit Mobilier has not, so far as is known, made any profit whatever, and in conse quence of the low rate of reports it has had few opportunities of obtaining any interest upon its available capital The Minister at War, giving a practical opinion upon the question of the efficacy of re-vaccination, l has decided that the entire French army shall be subjected to this precautionary measure. Detach ments of men from the different garrisons of Paris are now marched to the Academy of Medicine every Tuesday morning and are there operated upon. The Duke of Terceira,vrith his suite, is expected to day in Paris, on his way to Dusseldorf, whither he is going on a mission to escort the future Queen of Portugal to Lisbon.

The Countess de Montijo, mother of the Empress, arrived in Paris yesterday, and alighted at the Hotel d'Albs, in the Champs Elysees. A Madrid letter says that she left very suddenly, and countermanded a ball at her house, for which cards were out. Orsini's children left Paris this morning for London. Baron Boyer, the eminent surgeon of the Hotel Dieu, died this morning. General Count de Venture, who for thirty years was in the service of native princes in India, and who at one time played& somewhat importantpert is the events of that country, has just died, after a short malady, at his estate of L'Ardenne, near Toulouse. He went to Cahoot in 1819, and misted the service of the King, who gave him the commission of a lieutenant-colonel. Subsequently he followed his countryman, General Allard, to Lahore and as his aide-de.oamp, with the rank of brig adier.general, set to work to reorganise Runjest Singh's army on the European system. He took part in almost all Ruojeet Siogh's wars against the English. Ronjeet Singh died in 1839, and General Allard in 1840, but General Ventura remained in the service of Carrack Singh (who succeeded his father) until 1881, whoa be returned to France with a large fortune and a liver complaint He has let some memoirs which, it is said, contain pertain interesting observ ations on Indian affairs.

On a former occasion the insol vent was adjourned because he had assumed another name, It was now elicited by Mr. Reed that he had omitted a debt for the schooling of his children, which he said he bad for gotten through the "persecution" he had undergone. Mr. VI said it was very hard on the insolvent to to go back again for each technical matters. It only showed it wee required to amend the law by 'Relying insolvents to go out on their own reoognisancea, and making it a felony if they did not appear. The insolvent, with team in his eyes, said his children mast now go to the workhouse.. Mr. Sargood—lt is a cruel case. There may be some other objection. Mr. Reed did not WOO that it was a cruel owe, and be should prove so when the case came on. Perhaps the insol vent would be prepared to prove the bill of sale he had given to the woman he was living with. The insolvent said be should be quite prepared.

The trial of Giovanni Laai wee proceeded with this morn ing before Mr. Justice Crompton. The prisoner looked very pale and careworn, and UMW to feel deeply the position in which be was placed. Mr. Atkinson this morning proceeded to address the jury on the part of the prisoner. He made a very able speech, end contended that the evidence was not sufficient to establish satidectorily that the deceared had met her death by the hand of the primmer ; and he said that even posing they should believe this was so, there vu every probability th►t some dispute hid mien between the parties upon the subject of the meout of money that was to be paid by the primer, and that acts of violence ensued which resulted in the death of the deceased ; and he said that if the jury should think this sou the case, they would be justified in convicting the prisoner of manslaughter only. He then referred to the demos, and called the attention of the jury to the discrepancy that appeared to exist in the testimony of the witnesses as to the nature of the coat or cloak worn by the plum, sad he said that it was not inconsistent with the supposition th►t the murder might have been committed by some other perme, and the infamous character of the house was a dronmstanto tending to favour this supposition. Mr. Justice Crompton commenced summing up st half. pest eleven o'clock. The jury retired at half-past 1 o'clock, and returned into court at ten minutes to 2, when they gem a verdict of (May of wilful murder. Mr. Justice Crompton palmed sentence of death upon the prisoner in the usual form. THE POLICE COURTS. THIS DAT. BOW-STREET. 61/ICIDI IN PAISON.
