Northcote Noisy.
LONDON, Feb. 24.--In the house of
commons, Northcote, in the presence OF
II full house, rose and moved that the
humble address, OF which he gave
notice on Thursday, be presented to the
queen, representing that the course pur-
sued by the government in regard to
Egypt and the Soudan has involved Il
great sacrifice of valuable lives and
heavy expense without any beneficial
result, rendering iJ positively necessary
to the iaterest Of the British empire and
tho Egyptian people that the govern
ment should distinctly recognize and
take decided measures 10 fulfil the re-
sponsibility now incumbent upOn
them, TO insure q good and staple
government in Egypt AID those portions
OF the Soudau necessarylor its security.
NOrihcote said he was aware that the
making of the motion involved Il seri-
ous responsibility 10 himself, but he
was prepared 10 assert that the
government had failedto conduct the
affairs in Egypt in Il manner
satisfactory 10 the public or beneficial
to Egypt. The government had not
taken, nor was 1t now " king, steps To
establish stable government in Egypt.
Twice within year had the house of
commons, to certain extent, acquitted
the government, aud many menbers
ielt bound to support thp government,
although dissatisfied in their own minds
with the manner in which the affairs i'm
Egypt were conducted. He was led To
believe that satisfactory operations
were being undertaken, but so far his
expectations had been largely, il not en-
tirely, disappointed. The government
had been compelled 10 change entirely
It's military position assumed last wear,
having failed TO attain the object desired.
The suit WAS due, not to particular
faults here and there but 10 "a ssonuroi
spirit wherein the advisers OF the crown
had conducted matters. lCheers. Un-
less complete and entire change takes
place in the spirit of the government, IL
will still be our lot ~ tail in whatever
we may be called upon to do. While
brave soldiers were going 10 Egypt,
there was "A voice roceeding from the
councils of her majesty which de-
prived the expedition of half its
strength, voice of uncertainty con-
cerning what the government was try
ing TO attain in Egypt. Success was i'm
possible, unless the government dis
tinctly laid down what IL was fighting
for and declared a determination TO ok.
plain that object. The minister's words
hitherto had explained that tho object
was TO make the stay of tho troops in
Egypt as short az possible. Nothing
was moro dangerous to the inter
esls OF England than such a declar-
alton, Any talk about withdrawing
as soon ~ possible is calculated TO dis
hearten and discourage the troops, and
make "A serious impression upon native
chiefs, who, like the mudir OF DOngola,
have been loyal. Sir stafford referred
TO the gallant conduct of Gen. Gordon.
and said: "While we feel proud of his
courage, we have, at the same time, a
feeling OF shame AZ the mention OF his
name" Cheers from the cOuserva.
