CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road.—
Proprietor —C. Mowrols.
The public is most respectfully informed that the FINE
A irrs GALLERY, in connection with the above Hall, IS NOW
OPEN DAY AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12
)'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec-
.ion 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 MusrcAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual al
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
3ertorm every Evening at Nine and Eleven o'clock.

The great faction fight has terminated. The
anti-Ministerial Coalition has triumphed, for
the time being ! The ingenious device for cap-
turing stray votes has collected a motley and
heterogeneous mass, amongst whom, as will
appear from an inspection of the division list,
there is no principle of cohesion ! Who will
oe prepared to attach any confidence in any
Government that can be formed should Lord
DERBY unfortunately resign without giving the
nation the right of expressing in the clearest and
most unequivocal terms its sense of the conduct
of those who, with Reform on their lips, detest it
in their hearts, and adopted a course calculated to
shelve it for the present session, if not for a series
of years !

It is quite manifest that neither Lord JOHN
RUSSELL nor Lord PALMERSTON could hold
office for any protracted term. Their immediate
followers are far less numerous than those of Lord
DERBY, who leads the largest of any of the parties
into which the House is divided. The course lately
adopted, and which was a different portion of the
same'.system of tactics which dictated the CARD-
WELt resolution of last session, will, if persisted in,
inevitably render it impossible to carry on any
Government, and lead. to Ministerial crises every
few weeks or months at the farthest. Happy will
be the Ministers who come into office on the eve of
the long vacation, for that will be the sole chance
of retaining office during a single year !
It appears from a carefully prepared analysis of
the division list, that no less than 259 Ministerialists
voted for the second reading of the Bill. There were
also the tellers and two pairs. Seven absentees—
it is but justice to say that their absence was occa-
sioned, in every instance, either by ill-health or
being abroad—and three who, although general
supporters of Lord DERBY, on this occasion voted
against his Government. We thus find that the
party of which the noble Premier is the acknow-
ledged head, numbering no less than 273 members,
quite sufficient to carry any question which could
-not collectso many extraordinary auxiliaries under
the same, standard. Could the Whig phalanxes
present anything like an equal force, even though
Lord PALMERSTON and Lord JOHN RUSSELL
should remain united, and consent, like the twin
ki ugs of Brentford, "to smell at the same nosegay,"
er to take the Premiership alternately, on the old
principle of " ride and tie," for stipulated reriods ?
We fancy not ! and, moreover, we do firmly
believe that Lord DERBY wouhl, as a general rule,
receive more support from the Indel e idcnt Libe-
rals than eitl er or both of the noble lords.

What, then, will be the course adopted by the
Prelniei • ? Whatever, it may be, we may rest satis-
fied that it will bench as duty and honour dictate;
thal ; there will be no unworthy compromise, but that
it Rill be be at once tefitting his ancient name, and
Ur tblemished reputation as a political champion,
