Oae fine reereing he remembered
that a body of not more than twenty men took P oases-
sion of the Crystal Palece; and when they did so he
confessed that he felt very much like the individual who
had the present of an elephant made to him. They
would remember it was a custom whenever an Indian
sovereign wanted to ruin one of his subjects he made
him the present of an elephant. The company,
then, were the elephant. They had got a crystal ele-
phant, but nothing to feed him with, for the park in
which he was pasturing was taken away. But they had
yet faith in one another and in Englishmen. They said
to each other "We have no fears for our elephant. We
will give it food." And we applied to the people of Eng-
land whether the elephant should be fed or not, the
people of England
said the elephant should be fed, and
depend upon it that when the
the meeting might people
of England put down 500,0001. to perpetuate the Crystal
Palace, the projectors of it had not reckoned in vain.
—(—(Hear, hear.) Some persons said that the new Crystal
Palace did not deserve so well of the people as its
prede-
cessor, because it was a commercial undertaking. But
it was because we were a nation of shopkeepers, and be-
cause it was a commercial undertaking, that we were
proud of it. We were proud of it because we did not be-
lieve that anything not of the nature of a commercial
undertaking, and which did not stand upon its own
bottom, would last. They believed that this would be a_
self-supporting institution; and he spoke the words of so-
berness when he said that they had as much the public ad-
vantage as their own pecuniary profit in view when they
invested their money in the Crystal Palace. He believed
this to be the feeling of every shareholder, and that
it would pay a handsome dividend in addition; bat the
Crystal Palace and its manageia would not descend fram ,
the high moral and social objects they had in view to
pander either to a lower taste or to a lower morality in
order to make it pay. There was not one of the pro-
prietors who would not consign every halfpenny he had
in the undertaking rather than that the people should
suffer in the character of the undertaking for the mere
purpose that it should pay 5 per cent.—(Hear, hear.)
' But the directors believed it would pay, simply because
they believed
in the character of the millions, and that
the millions with their shillings would be the support of
the undertaking. They believed, tlierefore, thbey were
merely the guardians of the publicproperty
te y c
boemea-
mencing this undertaking, and that after
theirh y had
money, all
remunerated who had risked the loss of
that remained over should be consigned to the improve..
ment and elevation of the great sehools of national aft
and national industry.—(Hear, bear.) The first task,
as he had intimated, was the getting of the money to
feed the elephant, and the next to find a place where to
keep him. This they had almost failed to accomplish,
and would have done but for an enlightened and disin-
terested gentleman connected with the Brighton
Railway,
the proprietor of the beautiful park in
which they were now assembled. That gentleman
came forward in the last t emergency, when they were
in a difficulty, and said, "although
mind to spend the remainder of my days here, I would
rather give it up than
you shall have the you should be without a site, and
(Cht ere.) The directors
were wilting to pay dm a large—
i,. price for the land, but
he was unwilling to accept preferring to have the
amount as fixed by as arbitrator,
more.—(Hear.) Thus the company and cot one farthing
ele-
phant into the park. But this was not alald got
b the
was old—they wanted a new one—and a
LaTise elephant
re-
quired to grind the old animal into a new one.—(Laugh-
ter.) b
ter.) They found such a miller in the person of their
old friend Sir Joseph Paxton, and at once they threw
themselves upon the resources of his genius*. When the
old Crystal Palace stood, in all its beauty, in Hyde_
part, everybody said it wee impossible to go further,
cud that if they tried to produce anything finer they
,aeuld fail. He felt of that opinion too, when the Crys-
tal Palace was in Hyde-park; but as soon as Sir Joseph
Paxton had shown the new creations of his genius, and
that they were grander and more perfect thin the old
one, as the old one was grander and more perfect
than our ideas of such structures before, then he
did not regret the removal of the old palace from.
Hyde-park. Thus another impossibility was accom-
plished. The genius of Sir Joseph Paxton showed they
were not wrong in placing confidence in each other, and,
having that confidence, in going on and prospering.—
(Hear, hear.) Another impossibility was said to lie in
the re-erection of the building. But their old friends,
Messrs. Fox and Henderson, assured them that as cer-
tain as the old Crystal Palace in liedc.patk was opened
by the day named, the Ist of May, 1851, so surely
would the new Crystal Palace, in all its glory, be
opened in that park on the Ist of May, 1853.—(Hear,
hear.) Thus another impossibility was accomplished.
Under such circumstances he felt they were not wrong
in trusting to each other, to the enterprise of British
commercial men, and to the British people, to produce a
far more glorious structure than that of 1851.—(Hear,
bear.) What they wished to have believed was, that no
man ever entered upon any duty more sincerely desirous
of accomplishing the highest aims—moral, religions,
social, and assthetical—than the promoters of this under-
taking.—(Hear.) After a few mere observations, Mr.
Russell concluded by proposing the health of'' The Visi-
tors," which was received with loud cheers.
Sir C. LTELL was called upon, and returned thanks
for the toast in a few observations, which were but im-
perfectly heard. Sir Charles expressed his conviction
that this Exhibition might be made, with regard to all
matters of art end science, what the British Museum, the
Geological Museum, and Kew-gardens were with regard
to tbo arrangement of animals, plants, and minerals. No
attempt had yet been made, geographically, to arrange
the various manufacturing and other products of the
world; but in the building about to be erected this would
be done, and it would be attended with most important
p •
rae,iesl results.--(hear.).)
Air. PETo had the permission of the chairman to pro-
pose a toast, which would be received with great plea.
sereeen The health of the Chairman and Directors of the
Crystal Palace Company."—(Loud cheers.) After the
eloquent speech of the chairman it would not be neces-
sary for him to detain them an instant, for all would ap-
preciate the sentiments to which he had given utterance.
—(Hear, hear.) Ho felt sure, too, that however attrac-
tive the palace of Versailles might he to our Gallic
neighbours, it would t ield before the dill greater
charms of our new Crystal Palace ; far while
