VOTE. OE CENSURE IN THE GOf VERNMENT. ; . . London, Feb. 24. In the House of Commons last night, Sir Stafford Northcote proposed a vote of censure m the Government. The motion set forth that the Ministerial policy m connection with Soudan had proved resultless, and his speech urged that it was imperative a stable Government should be established m that country. Mr Gladstone, m reply, warmly eulogised the late General Gordon, and pointed out that treason alone had prevented his rescue. He demanded that the House should have confidence m the policy of the Government. The debate was continued to a late hour and then adjourned. At a meeting of the National Rifle Association to-day, the Duke of Cambridge presiding, m the course of his speech he expressed a hope that the Government may find it possible to utilise the offers made by other Colonies than New South Wales of troops for Soudan. In his speech on the motion of censurfe, Mr Gladstone strongly de« fended the Egyptian policy of the Government, and m regard to the death of Gordon urged that the same was unavoidable under the circumstances.
