LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1869.

A Palace of Justice is no longer projected by the
Government. It is proposed, now, simply, that there
shall be raised--New Courts of Law. Convenience
is aimed at, not magnificence. Economy is the order
of the day : and therefore it is idle to dream any
longer of beautifying the metropolis. Even the Con-
centration of the Law Courts has come to be laughed
at by the Chancellor of the Exchequer as little better
than an absurdity. People are " enamoured" of that
notion, according to Mr. LowE's way of putting it—
as though the idea was no better in itself than an
idle whim or crotchet. Then, again, it is urged by
the " powers that be " that at the outside a
million and a half ought to be amply sufficient
to cover the whole expense of the undertaking.
The purchase of the site, the building of the edifice,
the opening up of the requisite approaches to it—all
ought, say the Government, to be accomplished at a
cost within £1,600,000. To do this—the responsible
advisers of the CROWN, when they come to look into
matters, perceive at once, quite clearly, that it is
idle to dream any longer of either the Carey-street
site, or of the pet site mapped out by Sir CHARLES
TREVELYAN on the northern border of the Thames
Embankment. They look elsewhere for a suitable
locality, and they find it in the neighbourhood of
the site last mentioned. The revelation of this
discovery, it will be remembered, was made,
quite as a surprise, the other evening,
at the fag end of a long discussion of the matter, by
the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer. Mr. LOW E, this session, appears to be
rather fond of surprises. Instance this, his Budget,
which opened Fadly and sorrowfully, only to close
with a radiant, riant coup-de-theatre. Quite as
startling, in its way, was his long res Ave-d scheme
for extrication from the difficulty, not to saymuddle,
into which matters were getting in this mater of tLe
Law Courts—a scheme which he on ly produced at last,
as one might say, from his sleeve, with the abruptness
of a conjuring trick. There was, however, that
seemingly improvised bran new project of his own—
