The refractory House of Representatives was at last dissolved when it resumed its sittings on 28th December to fluish the first reading of the Land Tax Bill, and at the same time, the House of Peora was further prorogaed. This devo lopment of the situation is undoubtedly deplor able, especially since it tends to shackle flasa- oint circles, which were hoping that the money market would recover in the coaras of the spring. Setting aside the motives of bath sides, it mauuot be denied they they fought out their butts in an orderly manner and that the session, now broken of, was more fall of life and spirit than ever. This cannot but make ous conclude that the Japanese may in due course adopt to greaterTM perfection the Westera representative sestum.
