Sir Stafford Northcote contrvcd to infuse some
energy into his manner when, rising in the Com
mons before single Minister had uttered word,
he announced amid loud cheering his intention to
move vote of censure of the Egyptian policy of
the Ministry This motion is not framed to catch
votes in the House with a view to turning out the
Ministry at once but with desire to express the
conviction of tho country that the course pursued
In Egypt has involved grievous sacrifices without
beneficial result 1t distinctly announces also
readiness TO accept responsibility for good govern
ment in Egypt and in portions of the Soudan. The
latter portion will enable the Radicals who follow
Mr. John Morley and Mr.. Courtney to support the
Ministry, who intend to meet the resolution Of
censurc with q simple negative. The debate Will
begin on Monday. and is expected to last four
nights.
