The rooms have been newly papered and painted, and an additional door swinging on its hinges has been placed at the top of the stairs to pre vent the rush of cold damp air which has heretofore pro duced so much chill on the surface of the pictures, as well as discomfort to the visitors in the winter season. The greatest change effected is, however, in the arrange. ment of the pictures, an endeavour having been made, as far as the space and materials would admit, to class them in different schools. On one side of the west room bang the Venetian pictures, on the other side various Italian schools. The middle room is occupied entirely with Flemish and Dutch art, and in the east are ar ranged the works of Claude and the Poussins. The small north apartment is devoted to Spanish pictures, and the south to a raisCOIIaUCOUIS collection from all quarters. FRIGHTFUL MURDER IN NORFOLK. Another barbarous murder, accompanied by high way robbery, was committed at noon-day in West Norfolk, about twelve or fourteen miles from the spot where a man was shot down and robbed by Groom, who was executed in Norwich last year. The unfortunate victim, Lorenzo Beha, was a silversmith and jeweller, who re sided in Norwich. He had two assistants in his shop at Norwich, to whom he left the care of his business while he travelled through the country to obtain orders, and to sell his jewellery. He usually carried a box of gold and silver watches and other jewellery in a bag, sus pended from a stick on his shoulder, and his custom was, when he sold goods to the country people, to .take payments in small instalments. Amongst other places which he thus visited at regular intervals, were Welling ham and Tittleshall, villages in West Norfolk, about two miles apart, and about nine miles from Fakenham, at the latter of which he was last seen alive. About mid way between Wellingh a m and Tittleshall the road is bordered on one side by a plantation, and on the other side Tittleshall-common and a plantation meet. Be tween one and three o'clock several persons passing this spot on their way to Dereham market, ob served a quantity of blood in the middle of the road, but continued their journey without stopping, having no suspicion that a brutal murder had been committed on a spot so much frequented, and in the middle of the day, and supposing that a horse or some other animal had been taken ill, and been bled there. At half-past three, however, on the same afternoon, John Robinson, a butcher, residing at Tittleshall, who had walked over to Wellingham, reached this spot on his way back, and his attention having been arrested by the great quantity of blood on the road, he stopped to look at it, and he observed that some portions of it had been partially covered by dirt scraped from the road. Observing also that there was a trail of blood to the hedge, and that the trail was continued through the fence into the ditch of Tittleshall-common, he made another search, and discovered the body of Beha, with the legs towards the hedge, and the coat collar turned up as if the murdered man had been dragged by his coat through the fence. By the side of the body lay a box of jewellery unopened, and also a large hatchet, such as is used for felling timber. The blade of the hatchet was covered with blood and hair, and it was evidently the wea pon by which the unfortunate man had been murdered. His trousers pockets were turned inside out and rifled ; but in his waistcoat pocket a watch was found still going. His head had been nearly severed from the body by a blow at the back of the neck, and there were four deeply cut wounds across the temples and face, any one of which must have caused instantaneous death. The right eye was also driven inwards to the depth of an inch. Indeed, the poor man appeared to have been felled like an ox, and dragged through the fence into the ditch. On searching the clothes of the deceased more minutely, his account-book was found, soaked with blood, in one of his pockets, but the keys of his box were gone. No suspicion was generally entertained as to the perpetrator of the murder until late in the evening. A man named William Webster, also a butcher, was driving in his cart from Tittleshall to Wellingham, shortly before one o'clock on the same clay, when he saw a man in the plantation adjoining the ditch where the body was found, and he observed that the man stooped as he approached, to hide himself. Webster stated this circumstance at Wellingham as soon as he heard of the murder, but he did not say that he knew who the man was. At ten o'clock at night, however, he went to the residence of Mr. John Hooks, at Tittleshall, one of the parish con stables, and said that he could not rest until he had in formed him that the man whom he had seen in the planta tion was Wm. Thompson, a labourer, who resided with his father atTittleshall,and was frequently employed in felling timber. Mr. Hooks and Mr. J. Moore,another parish con stable, proceeded to Thompson's house, found him in bed, and ordered him to rise and dress himself. He did so, putting on different clothes from those he bad worn during the day with the exception of his slop, on which some spots of blood were observed. On the bed, and not at all secreted, the constables found a pair of trou sers, the legs of which and the left pocket were soaked with blood, and in a lower room they found a pair of " highlows," in the lace holes of which blood was obser vable. They asked the prisoner for his hatchet, but he could not produce it, and he made no statement in ex planation. He was apprehended, and taken to the Griffin Inn, Tittleshall, there being no police station nearer than Fakenham. On the following day Webster identified the prisoner as the man whom he had seen in the plantation, just before the murder was committed ; and two men, named Roper, who were at work on Friday, some little distance from the plantation, stated that they met the prisoner coming in the direction from the i lace where the body was found. He seemed to be in great haste, and perspired profusely. They asked him what o'clock it was, and he pulled out a hunting watch, which was loose in one of his trousers pockets, and said it was half-past one. This watch has not yet been found. When the prisoner and the house were searched, the keys of Beha's box were not dis covered, nor was any money found ; but at four o'clock on Friday afternoon the prisoner went to Moore, the parish constable, and paid him a debt of 1/. 2s. 6d. He also paid several other small debts the same afternoon. When at Moore's house, his face was tied up, and he stated as a reason why he was not at work that he was ill, and had been to the doctor's. This statement turned out to be false. Mrs. Moore observed when he paid the money that he had a purse similar to that which Beha carried, and that in the purse was a quantity of gold and silver. On Saturday morning the prisoner was taken before Mr. F. Keppell and Mr. Barwell, two of the county magistrates, at the Bull Inn, Litcham. Several witnesses having been examined, the prisoner was remanded till further evidence could be adduced. Thompson is about 20 years of age, and his appearance is superior to that which is generally characteristic of his class. He listened attentively to the evidence, but ap peared to be quite calm and unconcerned. STRAND THEATRE.—This snug little theatre has lately been entirely re-embellished by Mr. E. Bradwell, and now presents a most cheerful appearance. Miss Rebecca Isaacs still continues to hold the part of directress, and, like most ladies who have been venturesome enough to preside over our London temples of dramatic entertain ment, she has been extremely successful. The new musical piece by Mr. E. Stirling, The Pet of the Public, is nightly received with great applause, and has proved a decided hit. We never heard Miss Isaac's vocal powers to greater advantage than in the songs of "Love's gentle language," "Pretty Madeline," and "The trumpet's loudy calling," which she introduces into her part, which, it is needless to mention, is the most prominent in this operatic trifle. In addition to this we find that during the week the performances will consist of General Burgoyne's opera, The Lord of the Manor, and the romantic melodrama, The Miller and his Men , with the whole music of Sir Henry Bis ho p , being the first time this favourite production has been brought out here.

INTENDED VISIT OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT. A meeting of the heads of houses was holden on Satur day morning, at Trinity Hall Lodge, whereat arrange ments were made for the fitting reception of his Royal Highness the Prince Chancellor. The Prince, in com pany with the Duc de Brabant, is expected to arrive at Trinity College Lodge, about eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, and to remain there until Wednesday afternoon. The royal party will, during the mornings of Tuesday and Wednesday, visit the different colleges, the public library, and other objects of interest in the University. At five o'clock, on Tuesday, the Prince Chancellor will hold a reception of the members of the Senate, at Trinity College Lodge, and afterwards the royal party will dine with the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. T. C. Geldart, at Trinity Hall Lodge. A meeting of the town council has been convened for Tuesday morning, to take into considera tion the propriety of presenting addresses of congratula tion to his Royal Highness the Prince Albert and his Serene Highness the Duc de Brabant. A rumour is current that the Prince Chancellor will (in person) con ter a degree upon the duke, but nothing is yet known here for certain with regard to it. BANQUET TO THE NEW AIA101? OF GRAVESEND. On Thursday last, as a compliment to Mr. Dobson, the newly-elected Mayor of Gravesend, 150 of the prin• cipal tradesmen of the town invited that gentleman to a banquet at the New Falcon Hotel. It was gratifying to observe that parties of all sects in the town mingled on this occasion, to do honour to their chief. Mr. Dobson presided, and Dr. Ridge acted as vice-chairman. After the usual loyal toasts had been disposed of, and the National Anthem sung by several professionals from London, Dr. RIDGE proposed the health of the Mayor. lie said that the assemblage of the respectable tradesmen of Gravesend, without distinction of party or sect, now before him, augured well for the future harmony and prosperity of the town. They had been too long divided amongst themselves, but happily, as the evening proved, they were all united in the conviction that the time had arived when they ought all to pull together. They had now at the head of their magistracy for the ensuing year a gentleman of their own choice, and sure he (Dr. Ridge) was that such choice would be amply justified—(hear) — by that gentleman's conduct as chief magistrate of their ancient borough. (Cheers.) For himself he must say, that he had the utmost confidence that their highly re spected and popular Mayor would consult the interests of all the inhabitants without reference to party or sect ; that all his efforts in his official capacity would be directed to promote the prosperity of the borough, and the harmony and good feeling that should exist between all parties. (Cheers.) The meeting he had the honour to address was the most remarkable ever held in his time in the town. It consisted of men of all partie:, in politics, and of different opinions in religion, but united in the common bond of mutual kindly feeling, as he was sure it would be united to do full honour to the toast, which it was a gratifying duty to propose. He would give them the health of the Mayor, and long life to him (Great cheering.) The toast was drunk with " n i ne . times nine, and one cheer more. The MAYOR (when the cheering, oft repeated, had subsided), expressed the deep gratification at the enthusi astic feeling with which the large and respectable as semblage of fellow-townsmen met that night had reci procated the cordial and kindly terms in which the Vice chairman referred to him, and to his desire to promote the prosperity of the borough. The assemblage before him, and the social feeling which animated it, were highly creditable to the town. They did honour to him by inviting him to preside over them, but more honour to themselves, because of the good motive that induced them to assemble —namely, to sink all differences in the great object of cordial co-operation in promoting the general interests of the town. (Cheers.) They should ever find him ready to aid them in such objects—always ready and willing to hold out the hand of fellowship to every fel low-townsman sincerely desirous to promote the prosperity of the borough. (Cheers.) He knew in such pursuit no party, no sect, no distinction of rank, and no differ ence of opinion; and he thanked them from his heart for the kindness with which they responded to the toast of the Vice-chairman. (Cheers.) "The Magistrates of Gravesend," "The Tradesmen of G ravesen d," and other appropriate toasts having been drunk and responded to, the party at a late, but n unseasonable hour, broke up. COAL HOLE TAVERN, STRAND. — On Saturday, a num ber of gentlemen met at this celebrated theatrical hostelry, to take a parting glass of yrina with John M'Grath, Esq., previous to his embarking on his voyage back to Hobart Town. The meeting was presided over by E. T. Smith, Esq., the Lessee of the Theatre Royal . , Drury Lane, supported by a large n umber of theatri cals and members of the press, who bad formed a friend - ship with Mr. WO-nth during his recent short residence in speak in England. The Chairman, in an eloquent speech, alluded to the occasion of the assemblage, and, ing of Mr. M'Grath, and the regret felt by his friends in losing so valuable an acq.uisition to the intellectual coteries of the Coal Hole,. said that no man • . within his (the chairman's) recollection had so speedily Won and secured the good will of a large circle of striag'ers as had Mr. .M‘Grath.

It seems td,,bl WP-A9/ pretty evident that there is a general expeotation a a among mankind that they will be able to live by their wits, and not at all by their hands ; and that, not in the sweat of their face, but in that of their brains, shall they henceforth eat bread. The old. fashioned superstition, which hintedthat we were to wo r k ' for our bread, is altogether exploded. Talk is to supply the place of labour. If we can describe how a thing is to be done, the world will dispense with the ceremony of our doing it. The ancient aphorism about "deeds not words," is a mere antiquated imbecility. We are all to live comfortably by scheming, exchanging, trucking, or projecting—to repose upon the productive energy of the past, and all resolutely to resolve, that each, for himself individually, will not trouble himself with the pursuit of that venerable humdrum social heresy called " an honest calling." The Church is one huge corporation of unproduc- , tive consumers. Indeed, a rector calls himself an incum bent. The cure of souls is by the clergy themselves termed a "living," and a tenth of the produce of the land is yearly immolated to the Moloch of their maw, for which they re turn or reproduce just—nothing. Then another detachment of " gentlemen of England who live at home at ease," are the managers of our hospitals, schools, and charit able trusts, from the Earl of Guildford, up or down, to the chapter of Rochester. There is also the entire body of the territorial aristocracy, and that enormous, alarming class of the community who "live upon their money, or have " retired upon their property ; ' who do nothing, produce nothing, replace none of the waste they make, but dissipate and annihilate in consumption far more than a numerical rateable share of the produce of the country. We shall say nothing of the Army and Navy, but pass on at once to the new class of syphons and absorbants, mere whirlpools and maelstroms of the means of the country —the surveyors, engineers, contractors, directors, and officials ofrailway companies, not forgetting parliamentary agents and counsel, who, according to the belief of Robert Stephenson, no mean authority, have sucked in fifty millions of the money of the people to raise them to the condition of doing nothing for themselves, but of "having everything found." One of the few true and clever things which Robert Owen demonstrated was the exposition of the pyramid of British society, as derived from the census, in which he showed, by a series of wooden cub es , fitted to each other, and proportioned with perfect exactness to the classes composing the elements of the populati on , a foundation of producers at the base, and then pil e d cubel after cube above this, to show the extent of the superincumbent mass of idlers and non producers whom these former had to support. A great body of exchangers, distributors, and hitherto useful members of society, have followed the example of their betters. They, too, must "live upon their money." They are tired of the slow progress of saving and gaining which go on in the warehouse, or behind the counter. They must take their capital out of their business to make a fortune all at once in railway stock, or purchase in freehold land societies. Others must find nuggets in Australia, or better still, fleece the nugget seekers when they come, and cheat the nugget finders when they go ; but at all events, put the success of a scheme of life on the cast of a die, and by one lucky hit, if pos sible, " retire upon their means," or descend to social zero until the wheel of fortune turns round again to give them another chance with the "bones." These early closing associations, and half-holiday conventions, and reduction of hours at factories, and restrictions of mill hours, and so forth, have all the same object in view, the living as much as possible without work ing ; and now, at last, we can scarcely feel surprised that the working classes proper should " better the instruction," and that their own wits, and those of the fellows who trade upon their ignorance or their pre judices, should be set to work to solve that universal problem, the greatest amount of pay for the smallest quantity of work. The Ten Hours' Bill—the movement to exclude women and children altogether from factory and out-door work—the additional breakfast and dinner minutes—the two hours on Saturday, and now this strike for an addition of 10 per cent. to wages, already higher than they were, and that too at a time when money is scarce, trade drooping, food dear, war immi nent, and raw material advancing in price—all these have but one tendency, and one end, to get as much, and to do as little for it as the worker can. This sum mer we have been in what is called the "mortar-tub." The contractor, at last, fairly confessed that he could not complete his engagement. He could not get his men to work except how and when they pleased, and to speak a word to them was to insure their imme diate departure. We were saluted by the solitary brick layer's labourer with solicitation for beer—the only brick• layer was absent without leave two days per week—the, carpenter came and left at his pleasure, as the fumes of liquor permitted him—the plumber was hunted by hie wife from his work to the public-house—and now the bell-hanger has been drunk for ten days, and has not completed in that time work that could have been man aged in two. One painter was paid off for the same ' cause, to make room for a worse. These are literal facts in the experience of a single individual in a small under taking , and when masters are appealed to, their univer sal answer is, " If we say a word to them they will all. leave together, and no work will be done at all." In this a picture of general application ? Can any candid. working man deny that it is an " ower true tale ?" How' many of them work six, or even five days a week If their wages can afford a Saint Monday and a Saint Tuesday, a Sunday junketting, a Monday expedition in subscription waggons, often a Tuesday of headache and idleness into the bargain, where is the evidence of under payment ? Their employers cannot afford such indul gences to themselves. If they were absent as often, and. as long from their business as their men are, they would. soon have no business at all. This is not a teetotal lec ture. We are not going to sing psalms, or preach ser mons. But neither are we going to listen to cant and trash about "down-trodden sons of labour,"when the state of the case is really what we have described it. And we must go further, and add, that these strikes and riots have proved what we have often asserted, that there is a wide-spread conspiracy among the idle, turbulent, and drunken, to domineer over the peaceable, frugal, and industrious„ and to compel thousands of industrious families, by in timidation and violence, to starve in vagrancy, and to beg the streets, in order to carry out the great aim of the worthless of all classes, to get as much and do as little for it as possible. Unfortunately, with all the warnings received from emigrants, America and Aus tralia make the discontented operatives here thoroughly. reckless. They have always in their mind the impres• -ion that, however bad their conduct, and desperate their circumstances, they can always " clear out" for the diggings, or lowa, or Wisconsin. It is many years 4snce we recorded our opinion, that the real doubt in re ference to the advantages of free trade was not whether it would realise all that it promised, but whether it would find the people strong enough in intelligence and virtue to sus tain the rush of prosperity which was is store for them. That is really our chief difficulty now. We are yearly becoming less productive Every class is trying to shirk work ; and the time has come, now more than ever, when all must be plainly told that, if we do not produce we cannot consume—that none can reap if none sow— and that, to pay 10 per cent. more money for doing 2C) per cent. less work (and that must be the end of it), is absolute ruin to all, but especially to the operative classes themselves. The 10 per cent. is not savecl, but eaten, or rather drunken — th e Saint Monday and . the h a lf-T ue sd a y, and are half-Satur da y , ives are not beaten; ss proved, but dissipated and los t — into drunken drabs, childr en are neglected into habits give rags and pickery—simple andsevere of ease,bere fo us the horror to artificial want s a pi n a d ce fa t l o se ind lo u n lg g e in n g c s e . and love love - S e w aste of time, labou r , and misery that will follow . must come to an end ire and money oonfeycocnagnunmopttiloonn,gubnescscuosnitapanneide.d bTyhaecofer:.ersfuplonidn... on of commodities.

These are not hypothetical r esu lt s, as witness prices in Australia, which are the result not of scarcity of supply, but of abundance of money. Depend upon it; those men were not mere wiseacres who declaimed against luxury and indulgence. There was some truth at the bottoms of the principle which suggested sumptuary laws. Luxury and ease are not grant e d by the one m an by double wo r k b y an can arrangements only b of e s n u a s t t n a r i e n to ce another. Superfluity to a workman now will certainly be redressed by indigence hereafter. If nobody works, soon nobody shall eat. If 10 per cent. of the capital of the country is spent without any. thing more in the 'shape of production to show for it, the waste must be made up by less pay and more work, or the future privation will be all the greater. There is no One class of the community free from the censure which these propositions imply. We have been all gambling with fortune to „find a royal road to competency without legitimately earning it. It is high time we resolved to " keep the'shop, that the shop may keep us." DESTRUMI37II FIRE iv BRIGUTON.—ShortIy before daybreak yesterday (Sunday) morning a fire broke out; in the Circus, in Edward-street, and in rapid was the progress of the flames that, notwithstanding the prompt; attendance of the police force, who directed the hose from the water company's mains upon the building, i n . less than half an hour the ro of fell in, and the edifice was totally destroyed, together with a refreshment booth ad-. joining. The circus has recently been used for a variety of entertainments, and during the past fortnight a seriea of dissolving views has been exhibited. The pictures and apparatus connected with this exhibition are totally destroyed, the proprietor estimating his loss at 300/.
