NATIONAL GALLERY. • • _

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY .shad the Chief Commiesionse
of Works if • gaiety tie pictures was Wilding, and is what
locality ; If co. what would be the expellee of such Wilding,
and oat of what ninety. voted by parliament would each
a be defrayed.
nwCHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
the question of the hon. gentleman woo really one of ha-
pet tam e, se it, in feet, ram rei to the affairs of tie National
Gallery. Last year her Majesty's gevernment, warned by
the continued uasetelement of the question, and having no
confidence in any further committee or commission,
anderiook its settlement. He had now tee placers
of announcing that they had succeedei in aecemplish.ng
what be believed was the general wish of the Louse, namely,
that the whole of the National Hillery building ahoulii bo
devoted to the national le:tune. (Cheers.) So anxious was
he to bring this vexed question to a settlement that he load
twice peeped to rops' a vile of teeny to build a Royal
Academy, bat the governing body of that ins Witten with a
epirit worthy of then die ingaished poriiiion. ensidened that
in a building raised by the public fund. their indep Mena
would be comproneret, and having thennelves sntheient re-
sonnets announced that they were quite ready to tabu a
building fur themeelves. (Cheers.) litg, conetdeting the
pithiest the academy nava d, and the claim they might be
said to piesess, at iiieg from their log accommedivien by the
crown, the mmagere did not consider that they would tr m-
premier, their independsee, by the acceptance of a site foe
their new building, and he trusted that the home
would take a similar vim., of the question. Such
was the Oate of dears, when it wee !announced ty the
proper suthoritin that hie royal highnem the Prince of
Wake would require_ to have bierlborough-home delivered
up to him in November men, and that bring only eight
month.' ciff, be (the Ctaneellor of the Excheque,) thought
that he would be but fulfilling the adobes of the housurby
piecing the Vernon and Turner collection. in a peeper te-
mpted*, meter the control of the aus'ees of the Diagonal
Gallery, no that tlu-ri might be no question hereafter as to
what public 'indite on should have the control of theta.
The first idea was to place them in the buil Dog known as
Cureton Ruda, end It was found that the expense would be
3,0e01., and that moreover the building wee not tie-proof.
Under them ciecemismuote, the lien of ground at Kezeieg-
which it alight be mid was rented from the core-
ty the Revenant, wee appropriived, mud a Wild-
ing wesdatenniaed tips far the inception of the Marlborough-
house and Sheepehank. collection. until the National Gallery
abould be reedy to !eosin them. He believed he mi!bt
etas thee the whole net of this temporary building
would not exceed the simnel rag of that which
had been at tee time proposed. The result was that be
hoped at the end of two years to see the National Galley
devoted wholly to the national picture. Inelad,ng the Turner
and Verna colloca n., and thet as temporary building
would remain for *ceaseeel use to the pnbef departments.
He tussled that this shat statennat 'meth prove satistatory
to the Meas. (Chien.)
Mr. IL INNAIRD inquired when w as the new site for the
Royal Academy was attested!"
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.-0a pen
of the area where Burl neon-house now • end. The inter-
nal building would wholly belong to the Royal Academy,
but the extetior would be subordinate to • goateed design.

Sir C. NAPIER asked, penitent to notice, the First Lord
of the Admiralty when the report of the comosimioa fee
maiming the navy, with the evidence taken Were the coin-
miseionere' would be Laid on the table of the house; and
ales wben the renew of &seaters, moved for last lefties,
would be lied on the ladle at the house.
Fir J. PAKINOTON said that the royal commission
was row conekbring the report, and It waled probably be
laid on the table is • week or tea days. In answer to the
wooed portion of the gallant admiral's queatios_, he begged
to say hat the return of deserters would not be ready for
two months from this date. It bad already employed six
clerks care August laid, and would cost not less than faDL
et Hear, bear," and a laugh.) He took some blame to him-
self \snag granted such a return, but be had not bees
aware of what tee net would be. Ile hoped that hon. MI m-
