To rescue the country from the disgrace of parting for ever with
the tuag-nthcent structure with whose existence so happy a portion of
the life of the people of England is identified, the Crystal Palace has
• been purchased by private individuals from Messrs. Fox and Hen-
derson, ihe spirited contractors who erected it.
The, Palace of the People having been doomed by the vote of the
' House of Commons, there remained but two alternative.—either the
fairy edifice, with all its social blessings, must desappear at mice from
. English soil.-or lie conveyed by private enterprise from its temporary
home to a spot from which no authority had power to reesove it.
The pur.ieasers of the building die net hcsit etc for a mement iu step-
ping bi between the public aid the Legislative sentence : they knew
full welrthat the Governments of other countries deem it their duty
to provideVer, and carefully to watch over, the rational character of
the masses respectively given to their charge, by affording the
• means of recreation and instruction during their holiday and leisure
hours. But here the wise and good ainongst us must do these things
for theniselves, for British Governments revolve in fixed political
orbits, and the people shrink from official interference in their per-
sonal, Social; and domestic movements.
Two great feels were established by the National Exhibition of
1851. In the first place, it proved not only a self-supporting, but a
highly retnuperative institution; and, secondly, visitos, at the
higher rates of charge, neither entered the building in numbers equal
to those on the shilling days, nor contributed in money a sum equi-
valent to that realised by the shillings of the poorer classes. From
these•
_ two facts, it became evident to the purchasers that two points
sautiZtyn demanded their attention in deciding upon the fate of the
beere which they had saved from demolition. To begiet,
Met
snfix 'INA a spot for the' Palace, easy of acceseetiftWmaiies ;
!ae,' ti'e second place, they must render the Palace in respect of
the people of London what Versailles is to Paris—a place where the
People may be admitted by thousands to all the enjoyments of art, of
science, of beauty, of skill, and of mechanical invention—enjeyments
Uhitherto accessible only to the educated, the refined, and the rich.
P both respects the purchasers have to congratulate themselvesoll having met with unexpected and aeun•lant success.
A site close to London, but out of reach of its smoke and brick
malls—beautiful, picturesque, and open—has been secured on the
Brighton Railway. The Palace once built upon it, will have a rail-
Way station within the building itself, communicating by an exclu-
sive line cf rail with the London br•dge mid Bricklayers' Anns
Stations, which are the most readily accessible to the densest por-
tion Of the London population, and from which the Crystal Palace
Station will be reached by special trains in ten minutes. A line is
also in contemplation whites will connect the Crystal Palace with the
Waterloo and Vauxhall Stations. One small payment wie cover
both the admission and the railway conveyance to and from the
Crystal Palace. Thus, in a few minutes, without stoppage, the visit-
ors will find themselves once more within the precincts of their old
and favourite resort.
The Institution itself it is proposed to make worthy of the country
and of the views with which the Crystal Palace was originally

11 Yal Commissioners were obliged to take, eh/ost without discrime
ation. all that was sent to them by local or foreign Committees,
n
thus many acres of space were filled with useless and uninte-
resting objects, and the same description of objects was repeated
._tne after time in every division of the building. In the new build-
ILL& on the other hand, the classification of the objects will be much

by beautiful plants, flowers, and fountains.

, be reason of its transmission from the hands of her Majesty's
Commissioners to those of the people.
The distinguished reputation of the gentlemen who are retained to
Perpetuate the splendid fabric, constitutes a sufficient guarantee for
the (Oust faith of the promoters of the work, and fe• the legitimate
objects which the purchasers of the Crystal Palace have throughout
had in view. It is impossible to d sconnect from those oleects—
Undertaken as they are on behalf of the public by private individuals
--the character which attaches to every , ommercial enterprise.
But it Is not only possible, but very easy to render the association
now submitted to the public eonsideration an instrument It incalcu-
lable good to the country, and of lasting happiness to the people.
With the aid of the Government, who, with a view to promote the
great public objects of the undertaking, have kindly promised to
afford every reasonable facility, anti including it is expected a
charter ei incorporation, and with the hearty co-operation of the
other influential parties whose services are promised, the iiirectors
have no fear whatever of accomplishing within a short space of time
the gigantic and serviceable work to which their energies arc now
devoted.
For the present it remains only to state, that as a commercial en-
terprise the prospect of success depends upon the following well
ascertained data:-
1 According to careful estimates and reports received from some
of the principal parties connected with the Great Exhibition, a
capital of 150,000/. will be amply minis:len: to complete the purchase
and re-erection of the Crystal Palace, with such improvements of
structure as are required to gtve it a permanent character, and a
Moderate aellitional sum will be sufficient to provide a winter gar-
den. and place in it such a collection of ohje as of art and science,
O!. beauty and instruction, as will make its attractions and interest
even superior to those which drew the enormous concourse of visitors
in 1851 s
2. Upon these estimates a number of visitors in the course of 12
months,-equal to net more Dian the number which in a smile fort-
night entered the Great Elehilet on, will be sufficient to afford a fair

at a cost not exceeding 5,0001. per annum.
As re ards the prospect of a urge influx of vi itors, some of the
Statistical facts connected with the Gre it Exhibition are most M-
B rUe'sivo. During the period of 24 weeks. tor which that Exhibition
