THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1851.

four schemes—all of them, be it said, based on suggestions
which have appeared in our own exhibition articles, as our
readers will see should their authors make them public—
have been proposed, by persons officially connected with
the great undertaking, for the efficient outlay of the money;
but so far are any of these front being incompatible with
the idea of retaining the Crystal Palace, that there is not I
one to which the building would not supply a machinery
and a power of working hardly to be hoped for elsewhere.
Whether the fund be expended in tho foundation of a
Calm of Industry, of a Museum of Art, of a Collection
of Produce, of an Institute of Science, or of ally
these in combination as we propose, buildings '
will be req aired —lectu re-rooms, galleries, and so
on—all of which arc already provided in the great edifice

manufactures, and sit—ma all all beg lodgedag here, agriculture,
leave ample space for ornamental gardens, promenades, and
other means of recreation. Why should the commissioners
think of going elsewhere for the accommodation already at
their disposal? To throw away the Crystal Palace would
be a curious extravagance is a people so wedded to ideas of
economy as we are.
But the people should themselves pronounce their wishes
on the subject more distinctly. The mere winter garden
scheme may be considered as at an end. The question now
to be resolved is—Shall the Crystal Palace be retained for
purposes strictly. in keeping with the great aims of the In-
dustrial Exhibition?
