[reuter’s telegrams], BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.-(COPYRIGHT.) LONDON, Nov. 13. It has now been ascertained that the name of the would-be assassin of Judge Lawson is Delany. He is a convict on ticket-of-leave, and well known to the police ; and the latter are sanguine that some valuable information will be obtained from the prisoner. The debate on the Premier’s proposed new rules for reform of procedure will be continued in the House of Commons to-day. Numerous amendments have already been proposed to the second rule, and a lengthy discussion is expected to result. In the House of Commons to-day, in reply to a question, Sir Charles Dilke, Undersecretary for Foreign A flairs, stated that the Government were giving all necessary attention to questions now affecting Madagascar, owing to the importance of English interests in that Island. The death is announced to-day of George Rose (Arthur Sketchley). CAIRO, Nov. 13. Lord Dufferin is urging the Egyptian Government to expedite the trial of Arabi and the other rebel officers. It has transpired that, contrary to the understanding which was arrived at last month by the Commission of Inquiry appointed to conduct the prosecution of Arabi, now declines to allow the latter’s counsel the right of cross-examining the witnesses who gave evidence for the prosecution.
