(SPECIAL TO THE MELBOURNE ARGUS.) ' London, March 11. Sir Stafford Northcote has delivered an address, in which he emphatically proclaims the resolve of the Imperial Government to strengthen and defend the Colonial Empire. The Marquis of Hartington has delivered an address, in which he traverses the entire Government policy. He denies, as Earl Beaconsfield hints, the existence of a party who desire to enfeeble the Colonies by a policy of decomposition, for the Colonies are now more than ever willing to undertake their share in the burdens of the Empire. It is due, too, to the evidence of Conservative statesmen that the Colonies have learnt eutire dependence upon Imperial assistance for protection and defence, and this he contends is not compatible with their dignity or freedom. Mr, Gladstone, in an address delivered last night, made an embittered indictment against every branch of the Government policy.
