To rescue the couetry trom the diserace of parting for ev-tr with
the Magnificent structure with wh -se existence so balmy a portion of
the life of the people of England is identified, the Crystal Palace has
been purchased by priv,te individuals from Messrs. Fox and Hen-
derson, Theepirited contract ets who erected it.
The Palace of :he People having been doom• d by the vote of the
Reuse of COnitnoPs, there reinsined but two alternatives—either the
fairy edifice, with all its social tile. sings, must d seppear at once from
English soil, or be conveyed by private enterprise from its temporary
home to a spot from which no authority had power to remove

for. its
eaernselves, for Britsh Governments revolve in fixed political
Orbits, and the people serink from Alicia' interference in their per-

Two great facts were eetaltlished by the National Exhibition of
s_lBsl. In the first place, it proved not only a self-supporting, but a
highly remunerative b stitution; and, secondly, visitm-s, at the
nigher rates of charge, neither entered the building in numbers equal
to those on the shilling days, nor contributed in money a sum equi-

these two facts, it became evident to the purchasers that two points

Structure Which they had saved from demolition. To begin, they

people may be admitted by thensands to all the enjoyments of art, of

upon having met with unexpected and asundant success.

Station will be reached by special trains in ten minutes. A line is
also in contemplation which will connect the Crystal Palace with the
Waterloo and Vauxhall Stations. One smelt payment will cover
both the admission and the railway conveyance to and from the
Crystal Palace. Thus, in a few minutes, without stoppage, the visit-

nor the present it remains only to state, that as a commercial en-
terprise, the prospect of success depends upon the following well
ateertained data
According to careful estimates and reports received from some
„"` the principal parties connected with the Great Exhibition, a
"Pital of 150,000/. will be amply sufficient to complete the purchase
and re-erection of the Crystal Palace, with such improvements of
e structure as are required to give it a permanent character, and a
Toderate additional stun will be sufficient to provide a winter gar-
den, and place in it such a collection of obje as of art and science,

months,
these estimates a number of visitors in the course of 12
..onths, equal to not more than the number which in a single fort-
onight entered the Great Exhibition, will be sufficient to afford a fair
