Dissolution of Parliament.
By a Gazette Extraordinary issued 1 ott Saturday Parliament is dissolved as from this date. According to the Act this means that within seven days the Clerk of the Writs must be instructed by the Governor to issue the writs, and the Clerk is responsible for seeing that they are issued within three days* of hi» receiving those instructions, making the* maximum time ten days after the disso** lution of Parliament. Tbis would allow until tbe 24th inst. before the writs areissued, should the Government desire* delay, but Ministers could, of course,, arrange for their issue much sooner.. Tbis matter is one of much importance to the electors, as no names can be added to the rolls after the writs are issdedIt therefore behoves all who have not yet registered to at once see that their names are placed upon the supplementary rolls, otherwise they will be disfranchised. The election must be held! within 21 days after tbe writs, which would at the latest allow of its taking place on the 14th December. There are excellent reasons, however, for thinking tbat it will be held on the 7th prox. — Post.
