On the 6th, Mr Bradlaugh presented himself at the table of the House of Commons to be aworn. Sir Michael HicksBeach moved a resolution re-affirming that passed last year refusing to allow Mr Bradlaugh to take the oath. Mr Hoowood moved an amendment declaring the necessity of early legislation on the subject of oaths. Mr Gladstone supported Mr Bradlaugh, who then withdrew, declaring that he would appeal to his constituents against the injustice done him. The statement made by Lord Salisbury in the Lords on the 6th inst., the chief points of which have already been cabled, produced a favourable impression. Mr Gladstone, in the Commons, concurred in the Premier's view that England's honour was pledged to the Ameer that the Zulficar Pass should remain Afghan. Lord Randolph Churchill thanked Mr Gladstone for his magnanimouß speech. As regards Egypt, Lord Salisbury, though reserved, spoke resolutely and hopefully. England, he said, had no alternative but to buckle steadily to work in that country. It would be impossible and shameful to abandon Egypt to anarchy and chaos. England, moreover, out of consideration to her honour, must be loyal to the Khedive, who throughout had been true to her.
