SATURDAY NIGHT.

There is to be no autumnal session of Parliament, no "opening of the ports." The conclusion to which we had come from observing the indi- cations of the day may be said to have received official enunciation. Last night's Gazette notifies the further prorogation of Parliament from the 4th November to the 12th January, without any intimation that it is "then to meet for the despatch of business." But the decision of the Cabinet on the present juncture is understood to be more comprehensive: speaking as if from authority, the Times, says, " Parliament is not to meet until late in January. The ports are not to be opened."
