Loxnow, April 24 —In the house of lords this afternoon the Egyptian loan bill passed inthe committee without amendment, In the lobbies ot the house of commons this af- ternoon it was said that Gladstone, pale and agitated, made an almost pathetic appeal to 0 membars of parliament not to press upon the government questions concerning the sit- aation in ERypt, on the condition of the ocor. respondence with Russia upon the Afghan boundary, and the collision of the Russian and Afghan troops Gladstone, it was claimed, was evidently much disturbed by the aews from Cairo this morning of the rupture by France of her relations with Egypt.

Gladstone replied that never during the present correspondence with Russia or discussion of the serious questions at present before parliament had the government said anything in prejudice ot the idea advanced by the questions. ~ As, however, every answer made by the governmant to the interrogations put in the house of commons was un an- nouncement to the Russian government, Gladstone said he had decided that it was neither advisable nor convent to make decla- rations to Russin through parliament.
