THE CAGLIA.RI.
Mr. READLAM. asked the Chancellor of the Exche-

by the Neapolitan Government, and whether they bad
been released unconditionally : also, whether the Sardi-
nian subjects who constituted part of the crew of the
Cagliari were still detained by the Neapolitan Govern-
ment)

The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER said the
British Engineers Park and Watt were released unoon-
ditionally—(hear)—but compensation bad istrk,l yet been
made on their behalf. With regard to the second part
of the question, he had to inform the house the Sardi-
nian subjects who formed part of the crew of the Cag-
liari were still detained by the Neapolitan Government.
Mr. ROEBUCK asked if compensation had been re-
fused by the Neapolitan Government 1 (Cheers.)
The CHANCELLOR of she EXCHEQUER said it
was inconvenient for hoc. members to•aek such ques-
tions without previous notice. (Cheers.) Compensatios

or indemnity was not to be settled off hand; but herMa•
jesty'a Government believed that the compensation they
had demanded for the British engineers was a just claim,
and that they would succeed in getting it. (Cheers.)
Mr. ROEBUCK said his question was involved in
the first question, which the right hon. gentleman did
ansiver. He therefore bad had notice of it. (Hear.)-
VACCINATION.

Mr..MONSELL asked the Vice President of the Privy
C mined Committee, whether his attention had been
called to the tact, that out of 1,636 deaths reported to
have taken place from all causes in the quarter ending
the 31st March, 1858, at Burton-on-Trent, Sheffield,
and Merthyr Tydfil, 419 were reported to have been
caused by small-pox ; and whether he proposed to intro-
duce any amendment of the Vaccination Act?
Mr. L/DDELL said his attention had been called to
the report, and he regretted to find that in many other
places the deaths from small-pox were so great as to
amount to nearly one-third of the deaths during the
quarter. The spread of smallpox was as much to be at-
tributed to bad vaccination as to neglect of it. At present
ha was not prepared to introduce a measure for the
amendment of the present law, but he thought a remedy
would be provided by the second clause of the Public
Health Act, that was set down for second reading this
night.
