to by him, with the name of the person from whom they
originated, to the house.
Since he had last addressed the house he did not think
anything had occurred that would justify their calling to
the bar of the house the editor and printer of the Times.
(Hear, hear.) He had written to Mr. Dennis, who con-
filmed the statement attributed to him in the public news•
papers, with the exception of the question of the
nature of the bribe offered to him, which was that of
an appointment and not of a pecuniary character, and some
other immaterial alterations. Having read an article which
appeared in a local paper to the effect that the offer in ques-
tion was made through the medium of a lady with which
Mr. Gilpin became acquainted with at a watering place,
and he concluding by calling on the hon. member to give
up the name of the writer.
Air. GILPIN said when this subject was brought for ward
first, he was asked a question as to a statement which he
never made, and a speech he had never made. He stated
at the time he could not trace the letter to the agents of
the Conservative party. (Hear, hear.) It was not the
first time that ladies connected with a .political party had,
without authority, exercised themselves in canvassing mem-
bers and constituencies, but the matter appeared to him
so ridiculous that he could not have believed that any mem-
ber of that house would ask him to give up the name of a
lady, and he felt surprised that a gentleman should ask a
question which no gentleman could answer.
Mr. STANLEY rose to order, as he considered such lan-
not Parliamentary.
Mr. GILPIN said that what he intended to
state was, that he was surprised that an honourable
member, who was certainly a gentleman, should have
asked him a question which a gentleman should
not. (Laughter.) He should have been happy, if
the house wished it, to give full information as to the con-
tents of the two letters he had received; but he would tell
more respectfully, but, at the same time, emphatically, that
if he required him to give up the name of the leader that
he would not de so. (Hear, hear.)
After some further conversation, the question dropped.

THE INDIA LOAN.
Mr. CRAWFORD asked the late Secretary of State for
India whether he was aware, when he proceeded on Thurs-
day, the 21st day of April last, to receive and adju-
dicate upon the tenders invited to be sent in for the
Indian loan, of the fact that the Austrian ulti-
matum to Sardinia bad been mado known to her
Majesty's Government on the previous evening by a tele-
gram from Vienna, and also by a written communication
from his Excellency the French Ambassador to the Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs.
Lord STANLEY said that the contracts were completed
between twelve and one o'clock, and he did not receive the
information until six of the same day.
WEEDON COMMISSION.
Colonel DUNNE asked the Secretary for War whether
the report of the commission appointed to inquire into the
state of the Ordnance Department at Weedon, &e., had
been received ; and, if received, when it would be laid upon
the table of the house.
DIVOIIOE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES.
Mr. E. JAMES asked her Majesty's Attorney-General
whether his attention had been called to the large number
of causes standing over for hearing in the Divorce and
Matrimonial Causes Court, and whether it was the inten-
tion of the Government during the present session to bring
in a bill to remedy the inconvenience ?
