TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1857.

TER NATIONAL

TREABCTIIII.

OP Air

Aram 20.

It has already been stated that the Art Treasures
Palace at Old Trafford makes no high pretensions to admi-
ration of its outside appearance. In one sense, nevertheless,
the style elite architecture may be considered peculiarly ap-
propriate. The exhibition purpose of the place certainly
emus to be stamped on its features ; there is an exhibition
look about it at the first glans, and the inscription which
ewers on the chief semicircle of the front only carries a
little (either this clearness of expression. Embellishment of
• higher order would only have been obtained by neglect of
expediency, and a serious interference with the main objects
of erection, as has often been the case with institutions am-
bitious of outward splendour. The glared portions of the front
give to it some of that beauty which especially belongs toglam
and iron erections, in the style of which the palace at Syden-
ham is the most notable example. For an exhibition of this
peculiar chanter a building of that description was con-
sidered inadmissible.

Vigilant may be gratified by repeated asurance of the
pleasure that will be afforded then by the admirable inte-
rior. This alms would lend magnificence to a more ordi-
nary exhibition, sad as it is, anybody who should miter un-
prepared for a wondrous troneitiom, would be es much asto-
nished by the Fennel harmony and Muses of the hall sad
its contents, se some traveller. describe themselves to leave
been on entering Hebrew dwelling., by their gorgeriummes
and luxury, conceded from permeation by outside appear-
ance of the most dismal poverty and dilapidation. The
leading details of the internal adornment hare been siren is
a proclaim account. It is entirely the work of Mr. Cries,
of London, excepting the walls of the pie:tare plinks, fro
the excellence of which the credit is due to Marrs. Wilson,
Little and He:askew, of Manchester.

The two rows of coupled column, in bronze and gold
(from which springs the beautifully coloured arch of the
central hall), and behind which appears the grand collection
of portraits in the aisles, have a graceful stateliness of form
which contributes very much to the general offset of the in-
terior. They are 281 feet in height, and there are between
60 and 60 sets of them. They are octagonal far about 4 feet
from the bus and the cylindrical portion above Is divided
into stages Ly rings. On each aide of the capitals is en orna-
mental bracket, containing the initial. A. T. E., in large
letters, forested and coloured in gold. The amount of gold
and bronze ornamentation on the iron-work of the great hall
le a prominent and pleasing feature. Not only are the cou-
pled columns thus decorated, but also the forested balsa-
trades all along the galleries and the six ashram leading
to there ; whilst all the iron framework of the gland soda of
the tranaept, and of the throe great fanlights in the western
façade, will bicoloured Inoue inside and out. The upper por-
tion of the semicircles of the transept ends he a handsome
framework, and for the sake of increased stability the whole
design is reproduced at a distance of twelve feet inside the
building; the duplicates being united by ornamental transom
girders. The transept is 200 feet long by 104 feet wide,
and it rime to the lame height as the nave. Theexact length
of the great central hall of the building is 832 feet, its extreme
width is 101 feet, including the aide aisles; and its height in
the centre la 621 feet. In the description of the root of the
great hall, given a few days ago, it should have been Mated,
though probably the fact would be inferred, that it is entirely
free from any network of girders or tiered,. And mention
should not be altogether omitted, though it is rather out of
?lace here, of a brilliant arabesque border which surmounts
the maroon-coloured walla of the aisles, where the portraits
are being hung, and in which the names of the artists will
appear on large blue tablets. The two great suites of picture,
galleries are 432 km long by 48 broad, and their height in
the centre is 601 feet. To soften the light, the
glazed portion of the roof of each picture gallery,
and of the idde aisles to the nave, la covered with
mural. Beyond the transept, in the north-western
corner of the balding, is the Oriental court, 22 fed by 48;
and in the south-west corner a similar sized room will con-
sin the engravings. The water-colours will have a gallery
co themselves, 200 feet long by 24 in width, running across
the west 'ado! the :Waco, oa the grenthd kow ; ;rad behind
this mein me two smaller roma, probably destined for the
lame elms of worka. The two up-stain galleries are each
24 feet wide; the aggregate length cd the west, or organ ga-
iety, is 648 fed; and the length of the teat gallery is 162 feet.
The great western gallery, extending round the north and
math end. of the transept, and the end of the central ball,
will be mod advantageous for commanding a view of that
portion of the interior which, upon all ceremonial oatemm/,
will be the great point of attraction.
To conclude these Maiming, it may be elated that the
' building coven an area of 16,000 square yards, or more than
three scree; and is calculated to hold 40,000 visitors
without inconvenience. The most effectual arrange-

meet. have been mad. for ventilation and protection
from Bre, rain, or damp. It has been constructed
wider the ExpEneteadenes of Mr. W. Dent" C.E., the con-
.— .... owe ....gut.. or -.• Small. 0. 0
Young and Co., of Edinbargh and London. The cost of the
building itself has been probably from 40,0001. to 60,0001.,
and the expenses of the exhibition see guaranteed by
a subscription of 76,0001. The land secured for the palace
end its approaches comprises a plot of lit acres, on portions
of which have been erected sevens' buildings far offices and
subordinate departments not noticed in the above description.
It is situated near the junction of the Stretford New-road
wit► the Chester-mad, at a distance of two miles from the
Royal Exchange, and 4 to windward of the Manchester
chimneys, which sin likewise out of sight from that point.
It adjoins the prdams of the Manchester Botanical Society,
which are on the north skis, and through which, under certain
apnea anangements, scow may be had to the exhibition by
a very pleasant approach. On the south side a corridor con-
nects the bulging with the Manchostsr and Altrincham Rail-
way, near the OM Trafford station. A railway platform SOO
fort long, of which 600 feet will be roofed over,
has been constructed for the accommodation of visitors, and
a double line of rails has been laid down for a much greater
distance to admit the exhibition trains. By means of the
junction& which connect the vaiou■ railways entering Man-
chester, psamegers may be conveyed from every part of the
kingdom direct to the entrance of the pekoe.
This direct accessibility hes been turned to account in
diminishing the risk attending the treasmiasion of the deli-
cate and fragile articles of which the exhibition is so largely
mrevised. A railway siding ext. coding into the building at
the west end, has enabled packages to be conveyed thither
in the same truck that brought then the rat of their journey.
Every package has been labelled, with special instructions to
seam its safety during conveyance; the pictures have been
unpicked in the building, under the personal euperintendence
of Mr. Deane, and immediately conveyed to their
'meal departments by men wearing gloves, and
all the packages are registered and stored, so
that each article will be returnsd at the close
of the exhibition, In its original casing. In addition to
these precautions, it is gratifying to perceive that the appar-
ent* of order which reigns throughout the bathes, in the
midst of such multifarious arrangements, actually increases
Awn day to day, instead of dinriniahing under the pressure of
sew arrivals.

Dr. Hoyle, who had charge of the Oriental collegians he
the great exhibitionof 1861, end in the Paris exhibition of
18.56, has arrived to superintend the preparation of the
Oriental Court, at Old Trafford. He speaks very highly of
the contents of this department, and, although it may not
rival in extent the two collection above referred to, no effort
will be spend to render this the most perfect exhibition of
Oriental art that has yet been witnessed. The decoration of
this court has just commenced. The hanging in the picture
galleries is making satisfactory progress, though the portraits
appear not to be arriving so feat se is desired. The ar-
segments of the north-west room in the gallery
of modern paintings was completed on Saturday
last, the iron balustrade fixed in front of the pictures, and
the comfortably cushioned seats for visitors have been intro-
duced. A large number of eculptures hare arrived, amongst
them Power's Greek Slave; and come will be placed in the
centre of the picture plinks, to give increased enchantment
to their perspective. Mr. J. B. Waring, who anparintends
the general museum of art, barn already filled moms of the
large glass cane which are to be ranged along the navet
between the pillars. The canes are constructed by Masers.
Holland and f London, from models approved by the
authorities at Co.,ilarlborough-house. Mr. John Webb, of
London, is arranging the Bernal collection, which has been
lent by the government, and the &adages collection, which
is now the property of the exhibition committee. It
was Mr. Webb who wee originally despatched to Toulouse
to report upon the &Wages collection, and all the
packing of Rhea been superintended by that gentleman, seals,
the packing of all the Royal contribution., except the pic-
tures. Ile has had the nth /action of seeing all these articles
opened in safety at the Old Trafford Pence. Mr. S. Pratt,
of London, with a number of his men is cleaning the exten-
sive collection of smear. he prognimas ha the 6th of
May baa not been definitively fixed upon, but the opening will
