PARLIAMENT.
Tim session of Parliament opens to-day, but as our telegrams indicate, will probably be adjourned until Tuesday, when a still further adjournment is anticipated. The Ministry, after all the excitement of the past months, can hardly bo prepared for steady and serious work, and perhaps after all the colony will bo all the better off for that reason. One of the evils of recent Parliaments has been that such a mass of legislation has been enacted that it is difficult for people to keep pace with the changes. What is required is less wrangling over trifles, and more serious consideration of all matters brought forward. It is to be hoped, too, that there will bo more sanity shown in the matter of hours. The country does not require that its legislators should ei.t up all night to do the business. Better work would he done if the hours kept were more reasonable.
