THE EXHIBITION L 1 1851.

TO MR .E.DITOR OF THW SUN.
Corweir, Feb. 4, 1850.

SIB,—It occurred to me last year, that the propcsed
Exhibition would be a most excellent opportunity for
supplyinc, that great public want, " a National Gallery,"
and I therefore brought the subject under the attention
of his Royal Highness Prince Albert.
Since the formation of the Commission, I have ad-
dressed to them the following letter, an doubtless they
will take the subject into their considers.tion; but it has
occurred to me, that, as the Commissioners have so
properly thrown the expenses of the Exhibition on
public donations, it would be right the public should say
whether they approved of the suggestion.
Of course the extra expense beyofld what is fitting
for the proposed Exhibition, would come from the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer; but a National Gallery must
be built sooner or later, and the quesifion for the public
to consider is, whether it would not 'be better to incur
that expense at once, and thereby save about 50,0004., or
half the cost cf the National Gallery -, besides accuring
the best election fur the proposed Exhibition.
The following is the letter I sent the Commission:—
" To the Right Hon. the Commissioners for the Promo-
tion of the Works of Industry of all Nations.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,—l had the honour to
bring under the attention of his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, a suggestion relative to the building for the prc-
posed Exhibition; and was informed by his secretary,
That his Royal Highness bad directed my letter to be
referred to the Executive Committee of the Society of
Arts for more consideration.'

" The suggestion was that the proposed building
should be of a permanent character, to servo hereafter
as a National Gallery, but as I did not (falter into de till,
I trust you will now permit me to lay before you, as
shortly as possible, the reasons which induce me to con-
sider that the suggestion is worthy of adoption—
" lit. A National Gallery is very mina'. wanted.
" 2d. The very best and most commodious building for
the proposed Exhibition would also be the best for the
National Gallery.
" 3d. It will be very difficult to provide so effectually
fir the safety of the immense concourse of people in a
bui.ding of a temporary character, as in one of a per-
manent character.

" 4tb. It will he impossible to provide so effectually for
the con firt and accommoth.tion of the ro Tie in a tem-
porary building.

" sth. It would, therefore, give the public the most
suitable building both for the Exhibition, and for the
National Gallery, at the minimum of expense.
" 6th. It could preserve in a becoming manner the
memory a so useful an undertaking, and the Albert
Gallery would remind future generations of a Prince who
duly appreciated the value of industry.
" 7th. The site I proposed, while sufficiently central
for the inhabitants of the metropolis, is removed from
the principal thoroughfares, a great desideratum in an
exhibition which is free to the public and is well siiusted
for visitors by the railroad.
"Bth. Considerable architectural advantageswould be
gain( d by selecting the proposed site, for any lofty
buildings in the immediate vicinity of the Palace would
assuredly have a very bail effect.
" I have the honour to remain,
" My Lords and Gentlemen,
" Your very obedient and faithful servant,
JAI3
