He stated that the portion of the India House Museum to which his question related was—at all events the great bulk of it—presented by himself to the East India Company, and was the produce of his own gun. The hon. and gallant Member also asked whether telegraphic communication had been established between Alexandria and Calcutta, and whether a communication had been received from the latter place in six days?
