TO OUR READERS.

The issue on Saturdays of a Double Number of
the Express, ceases, u originally announced, with
the clew of the Parliamentary Session.

Tile QUP!cr, in the exercise of her Royal diem-
Roo, has been pleased to prorogue Parliament by
the voice of Commissioners appointed for that Fir-

pose, and by whose intervention her MAszery has
been spared the trouble of performing that duty in
person. We do not aspire to be reckoned among
that curious class of politicians who affect to be able
to discern in smelled trifles the seeds or signs of
things of muffled magnitude and polo-poet-future
moment. We leave to our rack-brained brethren of
the quid-ease school the task of discovering the
specific gravity of the Quist/ea abases from the
legislative ceremony of yesterday—if indeed it
ought to be set down as politically laving any. For
our parts, we can pretty well comprehend the par-
donable sense of weariness which at the expiry at
twenty yeses is apt to creep over the best per
a set pageant, from whose idealess mom-
Pay of iteration it is a law of the bureaucratic

rough copy of an introduction to something which

of the admonition naturally suggest themselves.
Either it was designed to administer a sarcastic re-
proof to the untimely love of ease and idleness that
has rendered a Parliament so recently eleeted impa-
tient of sitting further into the autumn, and then the
omitted purge may be imagined running thus :
