NEWS OF THE WEEK.

pARLIAMENT was dissolved on Tuesday, and already we are in the thick of a General Election. The write will be issued next Tuesday (September 25th) summoning Parlia- ment for Thursday, November let, and the first Borough elections will take place early in October. By this day month all the elections will practically be over and the choice of the country have been made. Though Parliament is summoned for November 1st, there is no absolute reason why it should meet on that day. If the Government has no business of importance to propose and needs no money, it may prorogue the new Parliament till the ordinary date in February.
