tors. Even thaw who most imtirely diapmit
from the Milesian theory, that "the normal state of,
" mad is indebtednees," most yet ie candour edini;
that many men, well qualified for the baaineei of
legislation, might be considerably perplexed by •
suddsn:demand for the liquidation in full of all their
liabilities. It is not necessary to refer to such glar-

log instances as those of CHARLES Fox and SHERI-
DAN. The experience of most people who have
nand largely in life will help them to similar exam-
ples. Now there would undoubtedly be some danger
of abuse, if the privilege of exemption from angst
were absolutely takes away in the case of men so
situated. A member of the House, possessed of

more eloquence than fortune, more ability than
prudence, might very easily become obnoxious to
those contrivances which the lower tools of party

are always sufficiently dexterous at putting into play-
To stop an inconvenient motion or a damaging speech
by a writ of caws., served by an obscure emissary
cautiously set at work, through many intermediate
agencies, by some unseen and untraceable official—
would be a novel and not a very reepeotable addition
to the present stock of party manceuvres. Equally
objectionable would be the influence indirectly
brought to bear on the indebted member by the pro-
mise that promo should be stayed or suit forborne
.n considerations which it is unnecessary to specify.

- - -
It is easy to say, in answer to this, that it only
shows the inexpediency of having indebted men in
the Legislature. The rejoinder is conclusive, that
you cannot limit the choice of the constituencies to
those who are virtually solvent.
What then is to be done? Is no attempt to be
made to free the Legislature from those who are
enabled by the very fact of belonging to it to set at
deflanoe the laws they assist in making ? Are we to
rest contented with the existing state of things,
which attaches legislative incapacity solely to the
insolvency of trading members—in other words,
to bankruptcy ? Not so. There is a middle

course to take--and th►t is, to extend the ince,-
way to all eases of proved insolvency, whether
connected with trade or not. Lord Baouortsm
Las introduced a Bill with this object, the
text of which appeared in our columns last evening.
The Bill relates to members of either Hones of
Parliament " who become insolvent and do not pay
" their debts in full i" and attaches to them the
respective penalties of being sequestered from voting
in the Lords, and losing their seats in the Commons.
After judgment obtained and execution iiened, on
a return that the indebted peer or member has no
goods to satisfy the debt, and that the Name remains
unpaid, the Bill provides that " such peer or mem-
" ber shall be altogether incapable of 'Wing or
voting in either House of Parliament, anima
" within twelve calendar months from the process
" being issued against him he shall pay the debt, or
" the amount ordered to be paid by the Court."
If no satisfaction or payment is made within the
time, the SPEAKER at the end of the twelve months
is to issue his warrant for a new election, and the
seat of the insolvent member is to be utterly void to
all intents and purposes.
Such is the purport of Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill. It
does not appear, as at present drawn, to be in all
respects a model of legislative expression. It is left,
for instance, somewhat doubtful at what precise
time the legislative incapacity of the indebted mem-
ber is to commence. The 62 Oro. 111., c. 144,
is much clearer in this respect. That Act
(read together with the Bankrupt Consoli-
dation Act) provides distinctly that the member
adjudicated a bankrupt "shall be and shall remain
" during twelve calendar menthe from the date of
" the adjudication, utterly incapable of sitting we
" voting in the House of Commons," unless maids
that period the adjudication shall be sepsensisd se
the creditors be paid or satisfied in full. It is
probable that Lord BROUGHAM'S intention wen
also to provide that the incapacity to sit and vote
should commence immediately from the return of the
writ of stale bona, and continue until payment
of the debt within the twelve months ; to be followed,
should no such payment be made within the specified
time, by forfeiture of the seat. If such were the
intention, it appears scarcely to have been expressed
with due precision, end indeed the Bill is in other
respects susceptible of considerable verbal improve-
ment.

In substance, however, the change which it
seeks to introduce is a decided improvement. As
the preamble very properly sets forth, " there is
" mach more reason for regarding with favour the
" bankruptcy of persons exposed to the risks of trade"
than the insolvency of non-traders; so that the
position ►t present assumed by the Legislature is
manifestly inconsistent and absurd. The insolvent
trader is incapacitated ; the insolvent non•trader,
whose offence is far less venial, beware his risks
are far less serious and more easily avoided--is passed
over without any attempt at legislative saileadvis,
sion. The fair thing is to visit both classes of insol-
vency with the same penalty, and to provide autho-
ritatively that no man shall assist in the work of
making laws who is legally proved to be incapable
or unwilling to pay his just debts.

CAGLIARI QUESTION.

I.ORD,SALMESIWRYI3 ULTIMATUM 424'D
THE NEAPOLITAN REPLY.

The following is a translation of the last despatch
addressed by Lord Malmesbary to the Neapolitan
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Commendatore Carafe,
. . . .

containing the ultinsatuns of the British Government:

May 25, 1868.
I have had the honour of stating to your Excellency,
in my previous note, the amount of the indemnity
which her Majesty's government demands of the
Neapolitan government for the two English en-
gineers, andl explained to you the reasons and the
motives why my government thinks that the Neapo-
litan government will see fit to change the decision
expressed in your Excellency's note of the Bth inst.
But should the Neapolitan government persist
altogether in its retltsal to make the reparation re-
quired, her Majesty's government, strong in the
conviction of its right, would be fully justified in
treating the matter seriously, and in obtaining by
force the accomplishment of its demand. It
might immediately adopt some measures, such as
decrees of any embargo, or reprisals, which would
secure the recovery of the indemnity demanded, and
which would, moreover, be entirely in accordance
with precedents.
But her Majesty's government is desirous of giving
to all civilised nations an evident proof of its mode-
ration and of its constant adhesion to the principle
consecrated by the protocol of the Conferences of
Paris of the 14th of April, 1858, to which the Neapo-
litan government itself gave its adhesion in the
nerinth of June following, and it Is with such send-
mute that her Majesty's government wishes to sub-
mit the question now under discussion between itself
cited the Neapolitan government to the mediation of a
likimidly Power.
I Her Majesty's government adopts this course of
moderation with the greater solicitude because the
disproportion which exists between the resources
which the government of Great Britain can dispose
of, and those of the Neapolitan government, is too
great to imply the possibility of any erroneous inter-
pretation of the motives by which her Majesty's
government is guided.
If, therefore, this method of terminating the die-
pate is followed, it is unneeessary to indicate to
your Excellency the reasons which would comae
themselves to the choice aa mediator of one of the
courts represented in the Congress of Paris.
Her Majesty's government would consequently
propose to the Neapolitan government to invite the
Swedish Court to occupy this place of mediator be-
tween them, and in the hope of preventing the em-
ployment of measures which the government of her
Britannic Majesty is sincerely desirous to avoid.
Although the direct and the most immediate duty
of her Majesty's government has been to protect the
persons of the two English engineers who have been
imprisoned and afterwards released by the Neapoli-
tan government, it nevertheless considers that the
responsibility of the ministers of the crown of Great
Britain does not stop there.
The capture of the Cagliari and the judgment
upon that cam is a matter which touches all nations
whose interest it is to protect, and to establish upon
a safe and undoubted basis, the principles of mart-
time law on the open sea, and to no country is this
question more important than to Great Britain.
The peculiar circumstances which preceded the
seizure of the Cagliari have in appearance justified
that act in the eyes of jurists and politicians. Her
Majesty's government, then, does not wish to pro-
test against the first act, which, though still illegal,
may be considered as having been a necessary one,
sad justifiable on the part of the commanders of the
Neapolitan ships of war which effected her capture.
But the decree of seizure, and the detention of the
crew prolonged during eleven months, have been de-
clared by the most eminent jurisconsults of England
an set not justifiable in law.
Her Majesty's government, then, cannot hesitate
to ggtive its assent to the unanimous opinion of its
latiseonsalts, and it must regard such an act of vio-
ence, thus consummated and maintained, and capable
of afterwards becoming a precedent, as an act which
seriously infringes the maritime interests of Great
Britain.

During the whole time of these unfortunate dis-
cussions her Majesty's government has continued in
correspondence with the Sardinian cabinet, in the
hope of learning that the Neapolitan government
bad yielded to the demands of Sardinia, and had re-
stored a vessel which it had no right to seize, and
released the crew who did not fall within its juris-
diction. This hope has not been realised ; on the
contrary, the Neapolitan government has replied
with a categorical refusal on those two points. Her
Majesty's government has consequently, at the re-
quest of Sardinia, promised to use its good offices to
support the just demands of the latter government.
The conviction of her Majesty's government that
the demand of Sardinia is jut, is founded on and
supported by the repeated opinions of the crown
lawyers, and if the Neapolitan government reoog-
nises the necessity of satisfying the demands which
more especially concern English interests, her
Majesty's government, in addition, urgently premiss
it, upon considerations of justice and humanity, to
accede to the demand of Sardinia.
Should the Neapolitan government be inclined to
persist in rijecting the demands of Sardinia, as well
as those of Great Britain, the government of her
Majesty has agreed with the Sardinian cabinet to
adopt the opinion of this government, which is, that
the principle of the protocol of Paris ought to
be maintained in this case, and it will consequently
propose that the affair of the Cagliari and the
judgment of her crew should be submitted to the
same mediating Power that has been demanded for
the question of the indemnity to the English
engineers, and that pending the result of such
mediation the Sardinian crew should be set at
liberty upon bail.
Her Majesty's government, in suggesting this
mode of ding both as regards the indemnity
to the English subjects and as regards Sardinia, is
actuated by the twofold motive of obtaining justice
for those who have been injured and of not compro-
mising the rights and dignity of bis Sicilian Ma-
jesty. Her Majesty's government would congratu-
late itself should the government of the Two 'bellies
hasten to assent to a proposal calculated to put an
end to the questions at issue. By this appeal to •
friendly power the government of the Two Sicilia
would be enabled to avoid those measures, which a
refusal of the indemnity demanded in behalf of the
two English engineers would render inevitable.—l
lave the honour, &c.,
(Signed) MALMESBURY.

The following is the reply from the Commendatore
Gus& to the Earl of Malmesbnry, intimating the
compliance of the Neapolitan Government with oar

d,erm;inds :

Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Naples, June 8.
My Lord,—ln reply to the letter, which your
Excellency has done me the honour of addressing to
me, under date of the 28th of May last, I hasten to
acquaint you that the Government of the King, my
august muter, has imagined, or been able to
imagine, that it oould find means to oppose the
farces which the Government of her 'Britannic
Majesty has at its diaposaL
Setting out from the point suggested by the
tenor of the said letter, that the affair of the
Cagliari, as your Exoellency clearly expresses it,
" can to no one be of greater importance than to
Great Britain," the Neapolitan Government finds
that it has neither any argument to propound nor
any opposition to make to it.
I have the honour of informing your Excellency
that the sum of three thousand pounds sterling, paid
into the mercantile hones of Pooh (sic), is at the
disposal of the English government.
As far as ooncerns the men forming the crew of
the Cagliari, now under trial before the Grand Cri-
minal Court of Salerno, and the Cagliari herself, I
have it its my power to announce to you that the
seen and the vessel are at the disposal of Mr. Lyons;
lisey are consigned to him; their departure will
mead en him ; and crams have been given to the
empetent authorities.
The being settled, the government of hie Sicilian
Majesty has no need to accept any mediation, and it

delivers up everything to the abeo!ute will (assoluta
rolunta) of the British government.
I have the honour to be, with the highest coital-
derutieo, your Excellency's most devoted and
obliged servant,
(Signed)

CARAFA.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

MON 01,11 OWN

PARIS. THURSDAY EVRIMIO.
The Constituticonel, speaking of M. Delangle's
appointment, announces that a "new phase has
commenced, both administrative and political." What
this means time must show. lam not sanguine
enough to think that France is about to enjoy any
great extension of liberty, although M. Delangle's
character may be a guarantee against flagrant irre-
gularities to which a mere palace aide-de-camp
might be expected to lend his name without

scruple. The same journal says that Gene-
ral Euphuism "persisted in resigning" after

having fulfilled his mission. This statement
can hardly be regarded as otherwise than
. . .

a pleasant fiction. There Gan, I apprehend, be no
doubt that General FApinasse was dismissed, because
ever since his appointment things have gone from
bad to worse in the country, and it was thought
absolutely necessary to take some step to restore
confidence. When the Queen of Spain dismisses a
minister she always says in her decree, " and I
remain highly satisfied with his loyal and devoted
services." In France this common form is supplied
by a nomination to the Senate, a body which in the
words of the constitution consists of the " most
illustrious men in the country," but which is in
practice an almshouse for disgraced functionaries.
There General &pitmen, who ought never to have
been a minister, finds a pension of 30,000 fr. a year
for life. M. Cornuau remains for the moment
Secretary-General of the Ministry of the Interior,
but he is shortly to be replaced. M. Monty, private
secretary to General Espinasse, has been decorated,
and retires.
Most of the returns for the elections of councillors-
general and councillors of arrondissements have now
come in. The striking feature of these elections
throughout the country is abstention. In most of
the large towns, Lyons, Bordeaux, Marseille*,
Orleans, Nantes, &0., the elections in nearly all
the sections are void, because less than a fourth
of the registered electors had voted. The govern-
it journals, while lamenting that universal suf-

frage should cue so little to exercise it rights, attri-
bute the fact to the "great prosperity of the coun-
try," • and the universal confidence that prevails.
Of course no other reason can be openly given. It
must not, however, be forgotten that very many
leaders of the republican party recommend their
1 friends to abstain from voting, under existing cir-

cumstanoes. The election of M. Picard as Deputy
for Paris the other day, by 2,000 more votes than
were given to him at flat, while his
opponent, the government candidate, was not
able to add a dozen votes to his original
score, proved pretty conclusively the fallacy
of the assumption that all the abetentionists

are happy and contented citizens, who luxuriate in
the consciousness that they are well governed and

would think it egotistical to take any part in voting
for their own well-being. "Tout pour le people,"
according to the writers in ordinary of the Tuileries,
is a maxim now so thoroughly realised that the com-
plementary axiom of "tout par le peuple" has be-
come supererogatory. It is not true that the sys-
tem of proposing government candidates has been
generally abandoned at this election, altbodgh the
Petrie of this evening, in an exalting article, lakes
credit for that fact. A parade of this innovation
was made in two or three places where the prefects
thought it might be safely done, but on a reference
to any file of provincial journals it will be
at once seen that, with very rare exceptions,
lists of candidates " supported by government"
have been officially published throughout Francs.
In the great towns above mentioned there was a
considerable struggle. At Bordeaux the government
only got one of its candidates elected-.. councillor
of arrondissement in the 3rd section. In all the
other sections the elections must be repeated next
Sunday and Monday. M. Cure, the opposition
deputy for Bordeaux, will probably be elected a
councillor-general. In the country districts the
government candidates have in most instances
walked over the coarse, as usual.
The Paris Conference will meet again at one
o'clock on Saturday.
I understand that all the sailors in the French
navy who bear fire-arms are to be supplied with
rifles instead of the common musket.
The Bourse hes been very animated. The an-
nonnoement in the Monitror concerning the
interest on Treasury Bills had no great inflames
on quotations, although it was favourably received.
The change merely consists in the re-issue of three
months bills which were suspended, and upon which
2k per cent. will now be paid. The rates on bills at
six and twelve months remain as they were. The
Rents rose 200. both for cash and account, closing
at 88fr. 60c. and 88fr. 660. Mobilier rose 25fr.
The railway market was very brisk. A great
many shares were taken up for the settlement.
Orleans and Northern rose 10fr. each ; Southern,
18fr. 75c. ; Western, Bfr. 260.; Eastern, 7fr. 50c. ;
and Lyons, lfr. 26c.

:ONCLIMION OF THE INQUIRY.-VERDICT.

At the close of Mr. Chambers' reply, yesterday,
The learned Commissioner proceeded Wetly to sum
ep the cote to the jury. He maid he scarcely thought k
necessary to go through all the evidence, but if they enter-
tained a doubt upon any point be would go over such of the
Loots se they required. The principal questions they would
have to determine were—first, whether Sir Henry Me= was '
at present el unsound mind ; of that he thought they would
have so difficulty In determining ; secondly, they would lay
when he became unsound, and whether it vu continuous,
and if they should be of opinion that it was not continuous,
and that at any time he recovered his intellectual faculties,
they would mark the period when he so recovered, and when
he returned into his former state of unsoundness. Their .1
verdict must be the unanimous finding of twelve of them ; •
verdict of a lesser number he could not receive. They bad
all the facts before them, and they would therefore say whe-
ther Sir Henry Idea: was at present in an unsound state el
mind, and from what particular day, and whether continu-
ously or not P
The jury then retired, end after deliberating an hour and
a half, they came into court.
The Commissioner asked them whether they were agreed
se to the present state of mind of Sir Henry Mena f —The foes-
man maid they were unanimous in Huffing that he was now Of
unsound mind.
The Commissioner then asked twelre, of then? were i

sieved as to the time Sir Henry Maus had been so P—Tha
foreman mid they wore not agreed—not twelve of than
agreed.
Thu Commissioner said he meat ask them again to nth%
and nee whether they could agree.
Sevenl jurymen mid it was no um to send them back, al
there was not the least chant* of their agreeing.
It was then urged that as there was no probability of the
jury coming to a verdict as to the period of insanity, the cow
misaioner could take their finding upon the feet fact, and dia.
charge them.
The Commissioner said the jury would again retire, and
he would consider what course he should pursue.
About five o'clock the commissioner sent for the jury.
The foreman said there wee still no chance of their

The verdict of the jury was then taken, to the 21;t".t.hat
Biz Henry Men: was at moat in an unsound state of mind
and incapable of governing hie ashy, but at what time he
became of unsound mind the jury know not.
A juror expressed his regret that a jury of at least 20 bed

The Commissioner replied that a larger number had Wu
