CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road.—
Proprietor —C. MORTON.
The public is most respectfully informed that the FINE
ARTS GALLERY, in connection with the above Hall, IS NOW
OPEN DAY AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12
O'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec-
tion 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 COIMIRC/ICRS 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
perform every Evening at Nine ani Eleven o'clock.

THE SUN.

MONDAY. JANUARY 31, 1859.

We Present our readers to-day with some brief
tables, which we are confident will do more to guide
them towards an impartial decision on the great
point in dispute between rival schemes of Reform
than any they have yet seen. We- would even
advise them to preserve these tables within easy
access, as a sure and ready means of testing the fair-
ness of the different proposals. The Ballot will, of
course, be one clear issue between the two great
parties. Argument has, however, settled that
question ; and not a single public meeting has been
called, or could be called, not favourable to it by
immense majorities. On this question mystery
is impossible. It is simply—" Shall the coercing
classes at elections retain the coercing power or
not ?" The subject is yet but imperfectly under-
stood—the one, therefore, on which the ruling
classes and the journals in their interest, attempt
to mystify us is, the re-distribution of the seats
wholly or partially disfran -
chised. Two classes
taken from boroughs
fight for them. One, the
LANDED interest—an interest very small in its
numbers, and wholly distinct from—indeed, in
many respects in antagonism with—the AGRICUL-
TURAL interest ; and the COMMERCIAL interest.
This last class, properly, includes the farmers
and their labourers. Theoretically, they were
always food manufacturers ; and they are
daily assuming in their modes of production
the appearance of manufacturers. Look at them
how we will, the land is but the raw material of
their manufacture, and the farmers and proprietors
of land have no interests in common beyond those
which exist between the American growers of cot-
ton and the spinners and weavers of it at Man-
chester. Give the farmers political independence,
protect them, as We propose
to do, by the Ballot
from those who can deprive them of their raw Ma-
terial, the land ; and they and the borough voters
will row in the same boat.

For these and other reasons we have always
thought that the representation of the kingdom
could be best considered in counties. We would
ascertain, by the tests of population and property,
what number of members each county ought to
have, and then adjust, on the same principle, the
proportions which should be returned by the
boroughs and the rural population in each county.
Such a scale we had indeed arranged, but its mul-
tiplicity of figures could only annoy the great ma-
jority of readers. We Kaye therefore calculated
