Parliamentary.
[Fiom our Special Correspondent.] Government Buildings, Wellington, last night There was a great row in the House last night. Mr Ormondiri'" speaking oa financial debate used words accusing Sir George Grey of committing the colony to entertaining Mr Brog den's monstrous charges, by his reference to them in his first speech. Be also said that it was a significant fact, that Brogden's firm were Sir George Grey's strenoua supporters and mainly insttumenUl in placing the present Government in power. Sir George Grey moved that the words be taken down that he might move for a committee. The words were taken do<ra and about two hours later the angry discussion took place. Some very strong language was used on both sid^s, aud the Speaker vainly tried to keep members within bounds. Mr Ormond ultimately withdrew the objectionable words. It is evident the Opposition are all disorganised, and have thrown up the spong-. \ Government hope to prorogue at the end of next week..
