CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road.—
Proprietor —C. 31011 TON.
The public is most respectfully informed that the FINE
ARTS G,ALLERY, 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 Pine 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.

NICHOLSON and NEILL, and the modern BOARD:
—the Chevalier sans peter et sans reprode_Sir
WILLIAM PEEL, have nobly surrendered their lives
in the service of their country. Any honour that
could be consecrated to their memories would be
gratefully recognised by the comniunity at largo,
although their own exploits hay created for them
" monuments more durable than brass," or even
Parian marble. It was, however, contrary to pre-
cedent, and precedent is " a great fact," that cannot
easily be controverted. We should, however, have
been well pleased if some notice could have been
placed on the records of both Houses, testifying
the feeling of the people towards those who had
sacrificed their lives in the public service.
