COLONEL NORTH

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, What decision had been arrived at in reference to the payment for the Abana's Crown and Chalice captured at Magdala?

MR. GLADSTONE

said, in reply, that as Lord Napier was a party to this transaction, it was deemed right to communicate with him in reference to the matter. No reply had yet been received from his Lordship, but one was expected shortly.
