(Special to Press Association.) London, June 23. By the terras of the Anglo-French convention on the Egyptian question, France engages not to occupy 'Egypt without the consent of England, and abandons its claim for the revival of the system of dual control. The agreement to neutralise the Suez Canal is based upon Lord Granville’s circular of January, 1885. Mr Gladstone has stated that the agreement is entirely contingent upon the results of the projected Conference, and that if Par* liament rejects it the Government will resign. He also stated that the question of the eight million Egyptian Loan, will not be mentioned until sanctioned by the Conference. A fresh loan for the Melbourne Harbor Trust will bo issued early in July. The House of Lords appears inclined to insist on the unlimited liability of shareholders, as required by the new Act for a renewal of the charter of the South Australian Bank.
