In thlw respect the experiment lins been ho successful that , although situated on the Southern uido of tho Thames , at i > distance of about eight miles , by Railway , from London liridgo , and consequently difficult of access to the immouso mnjorlty or tho Metropolitan population , it appears by tho last Koport that 1 , 381 , 103 persona visited il during tho twelve months ending 31 st Ootobor , l 850 , nu ) d tho not profit realised during tho same period amounted to jf' 15 , 315 109 ' , 8 d ., equivalent to 7 \ per cont . on tho Capital of tills Company , viz . jCCOO . OQQ . Tho Palaoo of tho People at Muswell Hill will bo readily aoo « s « luld to the vast population on tho Northern side of tho River , nunwering more than a million and u hnlj oj persons , who will not be subject to 11 the inconvenience ot being obliged to pass through tho crowded streets of London . NiTInstitution of n similar cuurnctoroxlats in this quarter ) and It is a remarkable fnct that this populous and wealthy district is entirely destitute of liny Ki'eut oentro of attraction , where tho improvement and recreation of thu masavs can bo combined , The Situ aulcctcd fpr the Palaco of tho People possesses pooiilliir advantages for tho orectlon of n bulluhvg devoted to ( Jonoral luatruotlon and AmuHei » oi > 6 .

John ' s Wood , Westboume Terrace , Paddinjgton , and Bayswater . From piany of these places' it will be within an easy walk , and from all the others it will be within a short drive by Oniriibus or Carriage . Passengers arriving by the London and North Western , Midland , Great Western , and Eastern Counties Railways , will reach the Palace without traversing'the . streets of London , and the tra ' ns of Uie Black wall , North London , and Metropolitan Railways will convey , visitors every quarter of an hour from Fenchurch Street , ' Farrihgddn Street , Paddington , and the intermediate stations . The works on the Metropolitan Railway are already commenced , and it is expected to be completed before the opening of the Palace . ' ¦ - ¦ - . ¦"¦' The Estate which has been secured for the purposes of the Company consists in the whole of about 450 acres of the finest land in the county of ¦ Middlesex , well supplied with water , thoroughly drained , and interspersed with ornamental timber . It is intended to appropriate 150 acres to the especial use of the Palace and grounds . A reserve of thirty acres will be made in favour of Benevolent Institutions ; connected with Art , Science , Literature , Music , Horticulturei arid tlie Railway interest . The remainder of the Estate ( about 270 acres 5 is admirably adapted for the erection of Suburban Villas . ' . . It is impossible to estimate the value which this surplus land will ultimately realise , in consequence of the construction of the Palace and of the Branch Railway running through it , whereby direct access will be secured to the heart of London , over the Great Northern and Metropolitan Lines . The Palace of the People is projected in no spirit of opposition to the Crystal Palace at Sydenham . Experience has proved that fair competition is favourable to all sound enterprises , and although the range , of local visitors which the situation of the Paluce of the People murt command would seem to be of itself sufficient to > ensure success ; : the general public may expect to derive advantage from the stimulus which each undertaking will receive from the effort * of the other . In designing : the Palace of the People , the Architect , Mr . Owen Jones , has endeavoured to secure some important additional attractions over its predecessors in Hyde Paris nnd at Sydenftam , combined with a considerable saving in expense . A lurge Dome , visible from all parts of the building , will contain a Winter Garden , in which a proper heat will be maintained , without inconvenience , or injury to the rest of the Palace . Semicircular Colonnades at each end of the nave , will be devoted to Refreshment ¦ Courts . Aajmoious Concert Room , or Lecture Theatre , surrounded by corridors , projects from the centre of the building on , the north side . This Theatre will contain many thdusiuid persons comfortably , an , d the corridora will enable thorn to take their seals , and , to disporso with facility . Bonoaih the plntfOrm on which the Concert Room stands , ia the Railway Station , whqro passengers will at onco enter the building , under cover , without the fatigue of- a long usoent . vlaltorB by oarrlngoa and on horseback will alight under a gin zed corridor . ' In arranging the plan of the Grounds , Mr . John Sponcer , of Bowood , has ondouvoured not only to nrnke them objects of benuty and Intoroat , but to furniah instructive wjcarnplus ol Gnrdoning . Ample ap « co Is provided for out-door amusements , includin / r Archory , Criqkot , imd Hiding ; and , by means ol a onrringe drive , whioli will bo carried round the grouricls , invalids nna cqueatriunu will be able to witness those sporta , and to enjoy the beauties of tho soqncry without alighting .
