PARLIAMENTARY ITEMS.
[By Telegeaph,] WELLINGTON, October 21. Mr Hall made a long speech this afternoon in reply to Sir Oeorge Grey’s wild speech and his attack. Some parts of Mr Hall’s speech were unusually good, especially where he pointed out that with Sir George Grey’s many and great advantages and undoubted powers, he should now be asked by the Liberals of New Zealand to stand aside and not obstruct the measures he professed to advocate. Sir George’s reply was better than usual. In the evening Mr Hall, in reference to some accusations of Sir Goo. Grey, read a memo, from the Governor which the House, by vote from the chair, on the motion of Sir Geo. Grey, ordered to be laid on the table. Mr DeLatour then proposed a vote of censure on the Premier for laying the memo, on the table, although ordered to do so by the House. This was too absurd even for Mr Montgomery, who requested Mr DeLatour to withdraw his amendment. The Opposition held a caucus this morning, and decided to continue their present tactics.
