§ MR. BOURKEI wish to ask the right hon. Gentleman at the head of the Government, Whether he can communicate to the House any further information with respect to the events which have taken place in Madagascar in connection with the death of Consul Pakenham?
MR. GLADSTONENo, Sir; we have no further information, unless it be information which is negative—namely, that vessels appear to have called at Madagascar, and not to have heard of any of the incidents excepting the funeral. But we have no further information whatever of a substantive kind.
