Curtis and Sharp addressed their constituents last night, bat there was a rery poor attendance, owing to boating matters attracting so nraoh attention. Mr Curtis spoke in strong terms of the waste of time of the session by unnecessary talk, and he thought the House should take steps to avoid it in fature. Regarding Sir George Grey, he said be thought hewas over violent and persistent in bring* ing groundless charges against Ministers, and was often very injudicious. Still, he regarded bis presence in the House as a great advantage* and had had the effect of checking abases and promoting economy. He strongly condemned ike outcry raised against Sir Julius Yogel, for resigning, and contended that he irits perfectly jusciSed in doing so, on the grounds stated by him — failing health and privafttaffairs. He thought the House should^ t»ye voted his travelling expenses, Mthe Cjwwy was perfectly well aware of ,

is extravagant habit! when they pi*** »m in power, and had a» right to omplain afterwards. Ha spoke disassionately, and not as a supporter of iir Julias Vogel's, as he thought fch# Jolony would have done far better if it iad never placed hint in charge of its iffairs. Votes of confidence in Curtis and 3barp were passed unanimously.
