Affairs whether it was true that Commodore Sir William
Wiseman had been appointed head of the Naval Council
to the Turkish Government for the purpose of re-
organising the Turkish navy ; if so, whether that officer
had previously retired from her Majesty's service, and, if,
not, whether the lending of British officers to the Porte
for such a purpose, in the very crisis of the Cretan insur-
recticn, was in the opinion of her Majesty's Government
consistent with their declared principle of non-inter-
vention ?
Lord STANLEY said that such an appointment had
been made, but at that time it was hoped that the Cretan
insurrection would shortly come to an end. That hope
not having been fulfilled, the appointment of the gallant
gentleman had been superseded.
THE BALL AT THE INDIA HOUSE.
Mr. FAWCETT asked the Secretary of State for India
whether the expenses of the ball about to be given to the
Sultan at the India House were to be charged upon
the revenues of India; and further, to ask why, when an
European monarch visits this country, the only public
State entertainment given to him was to be paid for by the
people of India ?
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said the entertainment had not
originated with the Government, but in the Council for
India, and therefore the expenses would be placed to the
funds at the disposal of that Council.

TII :VICEROY OF EGYPT.

His Highness did' Viceroy of Egypt and Nuba Pacha
visited the House of Commons this evening. The illus-
trious visitors occupied seats iu the gallery usually occu-
pied by the members of the diplomatic corps facing the
Speaker's chair. Very shortly after the illustrious visitors
had seated themselves, Mr. Gladstone entered the gallery,
when ho was most cordially received by his Highness, and
the right hon. gentleman remained for some time in the
gallery, pointing out and describing the different por-
tions of the house. Lord Stanley, on the retirement of
Mr. Gladstone, entered the gallery, and received the same
cordial welcome his Highness had accorded to Mr. Glad-
stone. The house during the time the Viceroy was pre-
sent was but very thinly attended, not more than 20 or 30
members occupying seats on each side of the house. After
a stay of about a quarter of an hour his Ilighuass with
drew.
