CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road.—
Proprietor 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 commences as usual at
Seven o'clock.
In addition to the usual entertainment, the SAUVLIiT
FAMILY, ot 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 an Eleven o'clock.

THE SUN.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 28, 1859.

There is not an English heart that will not ear
nestly rejoice at the happy tidings respecting the
safe delivery of the Princess FREDERICK WILLIAM
of PRUSSIA, and that a presumptive heir has been
born to the House of Brandenburg, in whose veins
circulate the pure blood of the Royal family of
England. Queen VICTORIA, of course, rejoices at
the fortunate event that has made her a young
grandmother, and her faithful people will "be
joyous in her joy," exulting in all that adds to her
domestic felicity. We are not, generally speaking, ad-
vocates of Royal marriages, nor did we support that
with Prussia. But when it had been accomplished,
when the die had been actually cast, our only
desire was that the felicity of " the Daughter of
England" should be complete—that she should
become the ancestress of a Royal line, conferring
happiness on their subjects, and proving that the
instincts of their British origin will still prevail.
England and Prussia are the two great Protestant
Powers of Europe. They may be regarded as
natural allies. Unfortunately, however, the vacil-
lation and timidity of King " CLICQUOT " placed
his nation in a false position, and degraded it from
the position it had previously occupied. We be-
lieve that the PRINCE REGENT 15 well dispose,
but he is not the actual Sovereign. He cannot
surrender rights and privileges of which he is not
the real possessor, but merely a trustee. His son has
as yet no power, but his time will come
in the ordinary course of events, when he may
improve the welfare, prosperity, and
materially
happiness of his subjects, and that the valuable
lessons which he learned in England, and which
were fixed on his mind by a gentle and amiable
instructress, will produce abundant fruits.
In Berlin there is, of course, great enthusiasm.
The Germans are a c:Jmonstrative race; and the
simple fact that one who, if he lives, must inevitably
become their ruler, has just come into the world under
the most auspicious auguries, will naturally occa-
sion intense excitement. But the feelings of the people
of England will be no less earnest and sincere.
They will watch with anxiety the career of " the
little stranger," and trust that he may fulfil the
high anticipations that have already been formed
respecting him.
By a telegram which has just been received
through Mr. REI.ITER'S office, it will be seen that
the Royal mother and the Princely infant have
passed a good night, and " are as well as can be
expected." Through the valuable exertions of that
gentleman we were enabled to announce the pleas-
ing fact yesterday, and there is no question
of importance on which his clients will not
be fully informed. We trust that there will
be nothing to change the universal feeling
of satisfaction that the hopes of Prussia
and, we may add, of England, may not rest on a
single scion, but that there may be " a quiver full
of promising shafts." Our Princess Royal has
