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 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 hail, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as re arils 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 Multem. 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
perform every Evening at Nine ant Eleven o'clock.

"A hint in tender cases is enough."

Will the peace and tranquillity of Europe be
maintained, or is it on the eve of a sanguinary and
terrible war ? These are the great, the all-im-
portant questions to which public attention is mainly
directed at the present moment, and which must
speedily be determined one way or the other. The
very apprehension of hostilities is in itself an evil
of no ordinary magnitude. The ominous cloud
may pass away from the political atmosphere. The
storm may blow over, but still mischief must have
been occasioned which can never be remedied. Trade
and commerce will havebeen paralysed for a season,
credits suspended, and hundreds of really solvent
firms reduced to the verge of bankruptcy, or find their
means so deteriorated by losses, that sooner or later
they must succumb under the inevitable pressure !
A few days since we stated that the diminution in
the nominal value of Public Securities amounted
to no less than sixty millions of pounds sterling.
That enormous sum has since been greatly increased.
But it is even of less importance than the injury to
the industrial communities in every nation of
Europe. As we have already stated, the former,
is only a " nominal," while the latter is a real
loss. There may be some who are compelled to
sell their securities, but generally it will bo the
speculators for the rise or the fall—those who in
England are designated as " Bulls" or " Bears," who
will be the parties chiefly affected. We cannot
feel any sympathy for gamblers of any class. They
may risk all they possess7—become millionaires or
penniless outcasts—without creating any extraor-
dinary excitement ; but the industrial classes, who
are dragged into the vortex, without any fault on
their part, are worthy of commiseration. They
are in no degree responsible for the evil, are in-
volved in it by no act of their own, and yet they
are the chief sufferers. They are " brought to
grief " by the indiscreet announcements of their

rulers.
But is " grim-visaged" war really impending ?
Are we again to be subjected to an increased
income-tax, and other burdens which may become,
essential, from the necessity of being fully pre-
pared for any alternative, although we keep
ourselves out of the scrape, and merely maintain
an armed neutrality ? We believe not, although
it is impossible for any not entrusted with the
secrets of NAPOLEON to speak authoritatively on
the subject. As we recently pointed out, he is a
man of mystery, who seldom suffers his intentions
to be ascertained until it is his desire that
such should be the case. He has taken a leaf
from the diplomatic book of our transatlantic
cousins, and sends forth a doubtful sentence, pro-
bably as a feeler, knowing that—

There has been nothing from which he cannot
easily retreat, and it seems clear that VicToß
EMMANUEL is but a tool in his hands, who will act
only in accordance with his inspiration, so that
really the solution of the all-important problem
rests in his hands.
It is said that the French army wants work, that
it has become ennuied for want of occupation, is
