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 am, 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-
Music Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
dded Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
a 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 Musiem, ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual at
Seven o'clock.

In addition to the usual entertainment, the SAIJVLET
FAMILY, of Amsterdam, Eight in number, whose varied
instrumental performances have created so marked a sensa-
tion hi the principal cities and towns of the Continent, will
perform every_Eyening at Nine ani Eleven o'clock.

Wrin, South-Westerly; light, with fine weather—some

The important and interesting pamphlet, en-
titled " L'Empereur Napoleon 111., et Phalle," to
which we briefly directed public attention in our
impression of yesterday, istone deserving of calm
and attentive consideration. If not from the pen
of the EMPEROR himself, it is well known
that its inspiration is derived directly from the
Tuileries. Indeed; it would be-difficult to find any
person, in theoxisting state of French journalism,
sufficiently bold to
.ventilate such opinions with-
out the express sanction of the authorities. A
trial, with the: certainty of a conviction, whether
innocent or guilty, would be the inevitable result.
There is, besides, a vraisemblanee about the docu-
ment that enables us readily to believe that it is,
to say the least, produced under " Imperial
patronage." What LOUIS' NAPOLEON wishes the
world to believe is studiously inculcated. A new
and rather startling theory is enunciated, which
virtually goes to the extent that treaties shall only
be observed so long as it is convenient to do so.
It is, in fact, the old Hudibrdstic theory embodied
in the couplet__
" 'Tis he who makes the oath that breaks it, *
Not he who for convenience takes it."
Treaties are all very good so long as they enable
a nation to get out of a difficulty, or to keep clear
of hot water ; but the moment they become annoy-
ing,. that it would be advantageous to dispense
with them, they are no longer of anv strength—
nothing more than slender meshes by which
the smaller fry may be captured, but which
the larger can break through at any moment
with the most perfect impunity. It says
—"The treaties which bind governments are
the international laws of peoples, and would be
only invariable if the world was immoveable. If
the treaties which are to protect the security of
Europe place it in danger, it is because they no
longer answer to the necessities or to the wants
which dictated them. Political'prudence counsels
to substitute something else for them. A power
which would entrench itself behind treaties in
order to resist modifications demanded by general
feeling would have, no doubt, for her an acquired
right, but she would have against her moral right
and universal conscience.".
These are convenient, although not very equitable,
principles. They can only be compared with the
" MONROE doctrine," which, being expressly
framed for the benefit of our Transatlantic
cousins, is earnestly suPPorted by every
free and enlightened " Statesman," or, lest
the term might be misunderstood, we shall
say, " American citizen." The writer has a cer-
tain line of policy to advocate, and he does
so without greatly regarding the morality of the
course indicated. Na`, more, he endeavours to
implicate England, and to persuade us that we are
bound to take part in the contemplated pro-
ceedings, inasmuch as our " statesmen, our
