CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road.—
Proprietor—C. MORTON.

The üblic is most respectfully informed that the FINE
ARTSGALLERY, in connection with the above Hall, IS NOW

o'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive CoHee-
:lon of Pictures, by Ancient and Modern Masters =and is also
devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels
he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-
ing Music Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the
Kingdom.
The MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual at
seven o'clock.

In addition to the usual entertainment, the SAUVLET
FAMILY, of Amsterdam .Eight in number, whose varied
Instrumental performances have created so marked a sensa-
tion in the principal cities and towns of the Continent, will
Derform every Evening at Nine and Eleven o'clock.

Austria seems determined to precipitate war.
She has abandoned all moderation, and refuses to
enter into the Congress, save upon conditions so
utterly unreasonable, that there could never be the
slightest prospect of their being conceded. Why
should Piedmont disarm, in the face of such threat-
ening demonstrations, while an enormous Austrian
force is menacing her very frontier, and is prepared
for aggression at an hour's notice ? Under such
circumstances it is absurd to suppose that VICTOR
EMMANUEL could consent to set aside any of his
preparations, unless Austria would act in a similar
manner, and exhibit a stronger desire for the main-
tenance of peace than she is now doing.
The fact seems to be, that she has " screwed her
courage to the sticking place," and having made up
her mind that war is inevitable, thinks that
it might as well take place at once
while her army is in the highest state
of efficiency--and while it is costing as much as it
would do during the fiercest contest. She well
knows that in Congress she would have to abate
her unreasonable pretensions respecting the Italian
States over which she has exercised a species of
Protectorate, and obtained a preponderating influ-
ence. If Austria insists so strongly on her own
rights under the treaty of 1814, she should respect
the rights of others, and abstain from the armed
occupation of other States, which she has practi-
cally converted into so many Austrian provinces,
with German Viceroys deriving their
inspirations
from Vienna, and supported in every impolitic and
unjustifiable act by a numerous body of Austrian
soldiers, sufficient to crush the hope of freedom in

every heart.
Such an untoward state of affairs could not be
permitted to' continue, and it is quite certain that
Austria would have been requested to abstain from
her unwarrai ltable interference with the other
Italian State s. This, indeed, might fairly be
insisted on, and if the demand were met
with a ne.gative, she would stand alone
in the conl test that would inevitably ensuse.
Besides, -wi'aiout in any degree interfering with
6266 ting tr Patio, a gentle hint might also be given
