GREAT EXHIBITION OF THE
INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS.

We understand that considerable progress has been
made in the preparations for submitting to public
competition the design for the vast building that will
be rfrquired to carry out this undertaking on a scale
commensurate with the dignity of the nation.
We have reason to believe that the following infor-
mation on the subject will be found to be substantially
correct:--

The building will be about 2,300 feet long, rather
more than 400 feet across, and the roofed area will
probably extend to about 900,000 square feet, or up-
wards of 20 acres.

In the centre of the south front, opposite Prince's
gate, will be placed the principal entrance and offices.
There will be three other great entrances in the
centre of the other side of the building. Gangways
48 feet wide, clear and uninterrupted, excepting by
seats, will connect the entrances, and at the intersec-
tions of these main lines it is proposed to form a grand
circular ball for sculpture, 200 feet in diameter. Con-
siderable spaces surrounding the old trees (which
must be carefully preserved) will be fitted up with
refreshment-rooms, surrounding ornamental gardens,
with fountains, &c.

The vast area destined to he filled with the pro-
ducts of all climes will be covered with a remarkably
simple iron roofing, of 48 feet span, running from end
to end of the building, supported by hollow irun co-
lumns, resting on brick piers, and covered very pro-
bably with boarding and slate.
The extent of the roof covering the main avenue
will be 96 feet. The lowest line of the main roofing
will be 24 feet high, and the clear height of the cen-
tral gangway will be about 50 feet. The floor will,
for by far the greater portion of the area, be formed of
boarding laid on joists and sleeper-walls. The ester-
nal enclosures will in all cases be constructed of '
brick. The light will be principally derived from
skylights.
The central hall will be a polygon of 16 sides, four
of which will open into gardens reserved around it.
Its main walls will be of brick, and about 60 feet
high. The covering of this splendid apartment will
be of iron, and probably domical. As the conditions
with regard to time, &c., must necessarily be most
stringent, contractors will no doubt be required to
deposit an actual sum of money as security for
the fulfilment of their respective contracts. The
whole building must be finished and delivered up by
January 1, 1851. Contractors will, we understand,
be required to tender on two systems, one involving a
resumption, after the termination of the exhibition,
of property in the materials supplied by them, and
the other proceeding on the supposition that her Ma-
jesty's Commissioners become bona fide purchasers,
and take the risk of a subsequent disposal of the
building upon themselves.
In the arrangement of the design it has been the
aim to specify such materials and combinations as will
be likely to be most valuable after the expiration of
their temporary employment in the building, so that
the cost for " use and waste," as it is technically
called, may be the least possible; contractors will,
however, be permitted, and indeed invited, to sug-
gest any tender for the use of other materials which
may probably in their cpinion prove more economical.
From the varied and distinct nature of the work,
and the simplicity of the plan, a division of the con-
tracts into the two classes best suited to the different
plants and connexions of engineering and architectu-
ral contractors will be quite feasible, and upon this
basis it is more than probable that separate specifica-
tions for the sewage, the central hall, and a portion of
the iron roofing and walling, and for the central
offices and respective sets of refreshment rooms, &c.,
will be prepared. ,
From what we have ascertained of the actual state
of the drawings, &c., we have little douht that another
week pass away without some decided step
being will
taken
by
y
the committee in inviting the atten-
tion of the vast body of intelligent and able contrac-
tors, whose spirit and enterprise have done so much
to elevate the scientific and structural character of
the public works of Great Britain.

CHANCERY REFORM.—Tuesday; evening a public
meeting was held at the Crown and Anchor, Strand, with
the view of promoting the efforts at present being made to
obtain a reform in the Court of Chancery, as regarded the
time occupied and the expense entailed in the prosecution of
suits. Mr. G. Walter in the chair. Mr. Acland moved the
first resolution, which was as follows:—"That the Court of
Chancery, which in theory is a court of equity, is practically
an engine of unprincipled extortion and heartless oppression ;
that many millions of property are cruelly withheld from
the rightful owners by complicated and dilatory proceed-
ings, whilst injured suitors, reduced to paxperism by un-
warrantable extortion in the shape of costs, linger out a
hopeless existence in our poorhouses and gaols, or seek re-
lief from their grievous wrongs by suicide. That this meet-
ing considers that the continuance of such a court is a libel
upon Christianity, an outrage upon society, and a disgrace
upon the Legislature and Government of the British empire."
Dr. Ogilvie seconded this resolution, which was supported by
Mr. Rock, of \Valbrook, and carried nem. dis. Other reso-
lutions, pledging the meeting to support the association in
agitating for a reform in the Court of Chancery, were then
agreed to, and the meeting separated, after thanking the
chairman.

tersburgh , took 200,000/. in specie for account of the Russian
