The public is most respectfully informed that the FINE

OPEN DAY AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12
)'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec-
Jon 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 line 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.

There seems to be a fatuity besetting the Derby
Ministry. On their first advent to office, in 1852,
we warned them against their suicidal policy about
the House-tax—exasperating the industrious hive
of bees into a nest of vengeful wasps—which so
Stung them that they were fain to seek refuge from
their own unaccountable folly in the dark regions of
despair. Nor was their conduct in the recent
struggle the second golden opportunity af-
forded them, if at all, an improvement on
the past they perversely persisted, like
spoiled children, in running riot in their wild and
self-sufficient course, until human endurance could
expostulate no longer, and left them to the fate
which they seemed so ambitions to precipitate.
And this morning they have rather significantly
realized the adage appertaining to the Ist of April—
much to the sorrow of those who really wish well to
their country, wholly regardless of the manoeuvres
of party, and the selfishness of faction. That the
cabal-resolution of Lord loin RUSSELL was con-
cocted for the purposes of party and the defeat of
the DERBY Reform Bill, before it could and would
be amended in committee, was openly avowed. In-
deed it was tauntingly avowed by the very pro-
fessors of make-believe reform bills for the last ten
years! And yet these " conspirators" now fondly
hope that their machinations will be tolerated by
an indignant country. Never ;—no, never !—the
knell of Whiggism has been tolled, and that too by
very fitting and appropriate hands—the self-
deceiving, itching, fidgetty fingers of Whiggism !
But they shall yet have their reward, in very spite
of their own capricious juggling. They have been
" too clever by half" for their own ends, for their
complicated combination hath lost its charm by
exposure to the light, and the patriotism of the
people will rise so superior to the utter meanness of
party that the base effrontery of Whiggism will be
compelled to skulk behind the scenes of their own
discomfiture.

The second reading of the Ministerial Reform
Bill was lost by a majority of 39 in a
House of 626 29? being for the second
reading, and 330 for Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S
resolution against it. What next ? Aye
that's the puzzle that may even pose a jug-
gling Whig, for no set of men are so much at
fault in deceiving others as those who so cunningly
deceive themselves No doubt Lord JOHN and his
worthy brother in iniquity are now very busy in
sketching out the programme of a Ministry which
they fancy must satisfy the country, but which, if
we mistake not, will end in a bottle of smoke, and
so, too truly foreshadow " the baseless fabric of
their vision."

We have had, then, one division of the House on
the Ballot ; and one taken at what we must still
think to be the proper time, although we cannot
say that the subject received proper treatment.
We have not heard of one reason for deferring the
