Nearly 300,000/, after the payment of all the expenses connected with the Great Industrial Exblbi tion, remained P 9 the surplus in the binds of the Royal Commissioners. Nearly 300,0001. st?r hog ! And already it would seem almost eves, six pence of that magnificent sum bag b3en expndcd. How this bas been accomplished, the nation will doubtless wonder; but it will wonder still more when it learns that it has been effected simply by the del:co of purchasing a cluster of market gardens as the site of a new National Gallery —this rather expensive site being situated between Brompton and Kensington. After this, JOHN BULL may well paraphrase what has already been so delightfelly paraphrased by DICK SWIYELLER. He may reasonably lament that he ""ever has a comfortable little surplus in his pocket tell it is sure to be expended in the purchase of market gardens! Here are three plums rolled away quietly for the acquisition of a plot of cabbages end a cluster of goose'cerry bushes. Not a hodfal of bricks, or a trowelful of mortar h 24, up to this moment, b:an secured for the construction of the projected galleries. But then the site hrs been obtained. Yes ! and in obtaining the site, the ration b had the in exprewsible honour of sharing from 200,000/. to 300,000/. comfortably and cosily between the hitherto lords paramount of the land and seig neurs of the soil, between Monsieur le Baron de VILLARS, and my lord the Earl of HARRINGTON. It is really to,be regretted, that the entire transaction hes been closed so precipitately. For the use to which the surplus was put, the Royal Commissioners must have mown that, directly or indirectly, they were responsible to the nation at Urge —responsible so far that they were assuredly to be looked to in the mat ter, for something like a rational appropriation of an 'amount so enormous. Yet acting, of course, solely upon their own judgment, it would now appear that the whole sum has been squandered upon the one ~b ject of securing ground for a building to be devoted riot merely to the preservation of the pictorial trea sures of th e nation, but also to the promotion generally f o f artS) co mmerce, and manufactures. The object this enterprise, is, of course , we ac nit, at once, noble enou g h in itself, and one which we should re joice to see kept in 'view more sedulously than it has been hitherto by the Members i hers cf the Imr rial Government. We bear n recollection with unalloyed plealure, the half promise that a structure of this ki n d should be raiE2d in the immediate vicinity of the Metropolis at the earliest possible opportunity —an intimation n given " 1 the c ourse of his speech at th e l ast dinner ofßoyal Academy R l A ca demy by the Right H on . G entleman the CuaNie crttr.oa of the ExcnEousg. It is high time indeed that England should have some edifice of the cha racter here implied, more suitable to the glory of th e Kingdom than the wretched monstrosity o f a building in Tral'algar• square—the structure doing duty as a cruet-stand in presence of two durnl)- svaiters by way of fountains. ..I..ny thing, We all kanw, would be preferable to the continuance of th e tq'grace long felt in this direction—the disgrace of til thcidilr..; merely a portion of the national pictures 'litcorartng the walls of that odious urchiteatural abo- Iliiris Lion. Anything would be welcome in fact that up pared to be calculated to bring about the desired 0 4ange—anythin g but the wholesale disposal of the :4)0,000/. surplus of the Exhibition for a group of Iriarket gardens, agreeable by way of site, according ti,) the opinion, or perhaps, we should say, a ccording t. 4 the crotchet, of th e R oya l Commiss i oners. Afosas, in the " Vicar of Wakefield," selling his titther's colt for a gross of spectacles in abagreen cases ' —JACK, in the story of the Bean Stalk, parting with his mother's cow for a handful of mottled beans— afford us tolerable illustrations of the bargain re cently made by the :Royal Commissioners in the pur chase of a few market gardens between Brompton and Kensington in return for the sum total of nearly 300,0001., the surplus of the Industrial Exhibition. Spectacles are, of course, very good things in their way, and especially we might presume them to be useful to such a particularly short-sighted stripling as the dupe of BALTHAZAR alias JENILINSON. Beans, again, are capital eating no doubt when nicely pre pared and seasoned ala haricot. But surely it must, on the!very face of it, be regarded as a rather remark able act of extravagance, the purchasing, for a sum soonormous, a collection of potato patches like those intended fur the site of our future National Gallery. The bargain, however, bad though we cannot but deem it, has been made—c' est un fait accompli—the land is the nation's—the money is that belonging to the Baron de VILLAits and to Lord HARRINGTON. Forty-eight acres have been bought for 150,0001. — twenty acres for GO,OOO/.—and smaller parcels of land, at the rate of 4,0001. per acre, have teen ob tained in " hot haste" by the zeal of the Royal Commissioners. There appears to be no help for it—the ground referred to is now the property of the country, and the House of Commons will conse quently be called upon to advance additional sums of money for raising the superstructure. The " deed being done," Parliament must make the best of it; and we shall now, therefore, look forward with no small solicitude to the course about to he adopted in th e matter by the lower breach of the Legislature. At present, the few valuable paintings belonging to the nation are scattered about in various directions — some of them, and those not the least interesting, being only accessible with some difficulty, and under particular circumstances. There is the noble collec tion in Trafalgar-square—disgraced by being depo sited in one-half of that miserable edifice, the other half of which is appropriated to the Royal Academy.. There is the collection, in some respects still more choice, at the Dulwich Gallery, with those exquisite Pouissuts and incomparable Muarr,Los. There are the specimens of the English school in the curiosity rooms of what is known as Sir JOHN SOANE'S Mu seum—comprising, among other treasures, some of the most masterly productions of HOGARTH. There is the magnificent store of native works of art, now decorating the apartments of Marlborough-house, and renowned by the name of its public-spirited founder as the VERNON Collection : and there are other and smaller groups of paintings still more widely distributed, and some of them, for that reason, almost entirely overlooked. If these treasures of art could by any possibility be collected together in a grand central gallery, worthy of England and of berMetro polls, the citizens of London might not find such ample reason to blush for our national want of taste when visiting the gorgeous galleries of the Louvre, and surveying the storied walls of the Luxembourg. Under the particular circumstances of the occasion, we must henceforth, therefore, look hopefully in this matter to the munificence of the House of Commons— a munificence more than ever requisite, now that the whole of the surplus of the Exhibition has been ex pended in the purchrse of those unfortunate market gardens, now that the amount, nearly reaching the splendid total of 300,0001., has been exhausted, now that the country may be:said, in plein terms, to have bought a " pig in a poke," at the precipitate recom mendeion of the Royrl. Commissioners. interposed, so that it could scarcely be ob tained again without a Judge's order (procurable only at a heavy expense),:or by payment of a fee to the officer. The latter was the most usual course, and constituted the reason why the full amount was levied, and that on the most ;ndispensable articles-- so that application for their return and the accom panying fee might be secured to the bailiff. Hence • forward the Court or a Judge may—on being satisfied that reasonable efforts had been made to effect per sonal service, and either that the writ has come to the knowledge of the defendant, or that he wilfully evades service of the same, and has not appeared thereto— order that the plaintiff be at liberty to proceed as if personal service had been effected—subject to such conditions us may be deemed expedient. All that could be desired will thus be achieved, and the tedious, vexatious, expensive, and utterly useless process avoided. The Common Law Prccedure Act—one of the most important measures of legal reform ever intro duced to, or sanctioned by, the British Parliament— has at length come into practical operation. The dynasty of JOHN DOE and Ricu..tan ROE—time-hon oured potentates— is overthrown ; writs of distringas, whether for the purpose of compslling en apper-ence, or proceeding to outlawry, r-e, henceforward end for ever, abolished ; and special demurrers and rules to compute will be numbered with the past. We have frequently expressed our opinion respecting this im portant measure. It is unquestionably a step in the right direction, calculated materitlly to simplify the proceedings in the Sup rior Courts. It does not, however, go sufficiently far, and w 11 sc?rzely be accepted by Legal Reforibers as a permanent settle ment of the question, or ri full satisfaction of the general demand for cheap and speedy justice. The end of the wedge !leg, however, been admitted, and the power of future resistance to reasonable altera tions will be greatly reduced. The statute, which contains no less than :2Zil sec tions, exclusive of the schedules, is founded on the report of the Common Law Commissioners, most of whose recommendations have been adopted. It in troduces very important altelations in practice which may lead to considerable expense and vexation, until the new system is thoroughly understood, and the opinions of the judges have ben taken on all doubt ful points which the ingenuity of counsel or solicitor may discover. I'" objczt is unquestionably meri torious. It aims at the abolition of useless techni calities, and allowing the dtcision of the Cou:ts on the merits of each action t 3 ba obtained so speedily as may be consistent with a due regard to substantial justice, end at a mclerate expense. The forms of action are, however, still retained, although the neces sity for such a course was strongly devised by com petent judges. The plea 'bogs, t 3), are to be framed in a formal manner, and forms are given in schedule (B) as statements of causes of action which tray serve as precedents in similar cases. It might have been better had the parties Lan r'. lowed to state their own CEV:3S in their ow a language. We are aware of the high authority on which it was considered that such a course would lead t usele:3 prolixity, end the intrcluction of unnecessrry mat hr. We ce-mot, however, help tb'•oking that a plc in and simple story biiefly set.lng fot the nature and eh-Tooter of the acts complained of, rod an answer, either denying the fasts or explaining them, would ha fe , . preferable to any set forms, although the latter were free from all need less averments. The object of pleading is to enable the presiding judge and the opposing party fully to understand the ce3e set up, and the points relied on; and it certeinly apFears that world be more fully ac complished, and the danger of "surprise" considerably diminished, by the mode we have suggested. There was, however, apprrc ntly too great a dread of the assimilation of the prc.3eeding in Law and Equity, and the ;asion of the several tribunals—a reform that must eventur'!y be accomplished, to permit the adop tion of such a course. The proceedings to outlawry against parties residing abroad—the proclamations in the different Sheriffs' Courts and other ridiculous formalities— were even more vexatious and expensive, while they did not ersure a knowledge by the derendant of ole nature of the suit about to be instituted against him. In place of the worse than useless forms, the obvious plan is adopted of permitting the service of the writ in any part of the world, and whether a British subject or a foreigner and on obtaining the permission of the Court or Judge, to proceed in the action in such manner, and subject to such conditions, as may be directed. Dis tinct proof of the debt, either before a Jury or a writ of inquiry, or before a Mister, is, however, indispen sable in the case of parties residing out of the juris diction, and the making of such proof is a condition precedent to obtaining judgment. If, however, there be a special endorsement on the wilt stating the par ticulate of the debt or liquidatad damages—which special endorsement shall st-'id for particulars of demand—final judgment may b 3 entered on default of appearance by parties living in England. It is essential that this provision should be universally known,otherwise parties might unexpectedly find them selves precluded from offering any defence or opposition to the demand. If the special endorsement be omitted a declaration must be filed, and if not pleaded to with in eight days, judgment may be signed by default; and execution issued for any sum not exceeding the amount endorsed on 'he writ of summons, with inter est at the rate specified, if Pay ; and such sum as may be fixed by the Masters for cc3ts, unless the plaintiff claim more, in which case the coifs are to be taxed in the ordinary way. Our space will not permit reference to the other al terations effected by this statute. The rules relating to pleading, &c., however, are more for the legt l practitioner than for the community in general ; and ignorance thereof cennot produce such formidable re sults as those respecting the writ of summons and appearance, thereto above referred to.

SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER.—On Friday morning Thomas Mitchell discovered %itt , in the iron railings of li, Weymouth-street, the late residence of the Duke of Ormond, the naked and lifeless body of a newly born male infant. He instantly informed police constable 48 D, who conveyed it to the workhouse, where it awaits an inquest, previous to which the coroner has ordered aa autopsy. 'We shall now briefly explain some of the provi sions of the Act, which it is essential should be gene rally known, although it would manifestly b 3 im possible t) enter int) all ita details within the space allotted to a leading article in a public journal. The writ of summons is, as heretofore, to be the first step in every suit; but it is no longar necessary to sp3cify the form or the cause of action therein, and it may be served anywhere within the jurisdiction of court:, in place of being limited to the county or bailiwick for which it was issued. Concuwent wilts, too, may be obtained for service within and without the juris diction, so that it will scarcely b possible for any person whose locality is knows to evade the service of process, and thus set his creditors at defiance, while he is certain of obtaining fall notice of the proceed ings that may be instituted against him--a very valuable improvement in every respect.

This dis tress, although utterly useless to the plaintiff, was generally presented in the most stringent and ye xa tious manner. It could not be sold, and, therefo re, it signified nothing whether what was taken was of the value of 403., or of ati single farthing. The full value was, however, inv, triably taken.

DEATH FROM VIOLENCE AT GRAVESEND.--OD Sattmlay an inquest was held before Mr. Hi!der, at the Brewers' Arms, Gravesend, on th e b o d y o f Robert 'Patrick Ferguson, aged 15. Joseph R. Juk , 3 deposed that five or six weeks ago he saw the dczeased rowing to the Amsterdena public- house stairs, where deceased got out. He saw a water man, named Henry Simons, strike him with a heavy stick across the arm and back three times. It wit about three feet feet long, and three-quarters of an inch thick. Penick Ferguson, father of the deceased, said the boy came home and told him he had been beaten by Simons for taking his boat to save some things from his (is itners's haat. Ho came back the moment Simmons callsl out to him. Mr. Creak said he found a contused wound on the back of the dec?ased, about four inches square, which matter wes formed. On the Bth inst. the patient was feverish from in flammation. The sore in the loins wee the u'timate cause of death. A verdict of manslaughter was returned, and Simons was committed to Dlaidstone for trial. near the o t t h to e m ino f FALL OF TWO HOUSES AT BAYSWATER. — Yesterday h in a o b r i n t n n g t sat of an S u t he r early 1 a Sutherland-place, c b ? e , t H w a e y e s n w 3 a Bayswater, 4 o r ' , ea w W h e i s o t h b or n e turned• gr o o u v t e, t w o e b r e e t h a t e a d r m o w e d o fa b l y i o a f n n o e f a s r e l y 1 i t k h e e w t h h a o n i d o (s e r i. two houses which were in the c )urge of erection in that place.
