CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road.—
Proprietor —C. MORTON.
The public is most respectfully informed that the Pure
ARTS GALLERY, in connection with the above Hall, IS NOW
OPEN DAT 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 MUMICAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual al
Seven o'clock.

In addition to the usual entertainment, the SAITVLET
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 and Eleven o'clock.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 21, 1859.

King FERDINAND IL, of Naples, is no more:
He died, after a very brief illness, yesterday. In
the case of Sovereigns we cannot accept the doc-
trine—de mortuus nil nisi bonum. They are public
characters, and historical truth requires that they
should be dealt with in strict accordance with
veracity, and that no delicate scruples should inter-
fere with the real facts. The deceaSed KING will
be lamented by few, if any, beyond his own imme-
diate family and dependents. We are told that
even NERO had mourners, and there are few, in-,
deed, who have not earned the gratitude of some of
their followers. But King FERDINAND was pecu-
liarly unfortunate, so far as his subjects,
and the peoples and rulers of other
States, were concerned. He could never do
anything with a good grace. Even if intending to
make a concession, he spoiled its effect by some
sinister addition or useless sarcasm. He had even
the hardihood to insult England and France a
matter which led to the suspension of diplomatic
relations, and very considerable annoyance to the
KING, whose petulant insolence led to such unto-
ward results. Again, in the case of the English
engineers, he disregarded, as he had been accustomed
to do with respect to his own subjects, every consi-
deration of justice and equity ; but, thanks to the
firmness and determination of Lord MALMESBURY,
he had not only to make complete submission and
to release the intended victims, but to make pecu-
niary compensation for the terrible sufferings they
had endured. These were some of the matters that
soured his disposition and made him wreak his
vengeance with stringent severity on those who,
being his own subjects, were liable to endure his
tender mercies.

Whenever he granted a nominal boon there was

always something in reserve to convert the appa-
rent blessing into a real curse. It has been so with
POERIO and his companions, who, after having
endured ten years' incarceration, and that, be it
remembered, in Neapolitan dungeons (?) and in
chains, were banished from their native land, and
may already be sent off if the death of their perse-
cutor and the accession and marriage of the Crown
Prince does not in some degree alleviate their
condition. It was certainly as doubtful an
attempt at an act of grace and amnesty as was
ever perpetrated by a crowned despot.
The death of the man will be thought little of in
this country, but it may exercise considerable in-
fluence on the state of Italy end the Prospect of
European peace. Of all the divisions into
which Italy was separated, there was none
in which reform was so urgently required as
in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Not only were
the people justly and reasonably discontented at
the oppression under which they groaned, but thEy
