. .
(From the Builder.)
In our present number we give a view of the'resi-
dance of one well known to our readers—Somerleyton
Hall, near Lowestoft, the seat of Mr. Samuel Morton.
Peto, M.P. for Norwich, and constructor of some of the
most important railways in the kingdom. The original
house here is said to have been built by Sir John Jer-
negan in the reign of Elizabeth (afterwards altered and
added to) and old Fuller speaks of it as being " among
the many fair houses of the gentry of this country,"
and says the place " well deserves the name of Sum-
- merley, because it was always summer there, the walks
and gardens being planted with perpetual greens."
Cam& n, after speaking of Lake Lothing, says—" At
the beginning of this, Lestoffe, a little town, hangs (as
it were) over the sea; and at the end of it is Gorlston,
where I saw the tower of a small ruinated religious
house, which is of some use to the seamen. More in-
ward upon the Yare is Somerley, formerly (as I was
told) the seat of the Fitz Osberts, from whom it came
to the knightly and famous family of the Jerneganes."*
In Morden's map of Norfolk the place is marked
" Somerley Town." On the other side of Yarmouth, by
the way, some will remember there is a place called
Winterton, " which," says Camden, " I fancy had that
name given it from the winterly situation." The termi-
nation ton is very general in the neighbourhood.
Concerning Lestoffe, as he calls it, Camden, describ-
irg Yarmouth, records, that about the year 1340 the
citizens walled that town round, and " in a short time
became so rich and powerful that they often engaged
their neighbours the Lestojfenses in sea fights, with
great slaughter on both sides," having a " peculiar
spight against them." The engagements between Yar-
mouth and Lowestoft are fortunately of a very different
kind now, and these engagements have been mainly
brought about by the proprietor of Somerleyton.
Mr. Peto purchased the place from Lord Sydney Go-
dolphin Osborne in 1844, and has been occupied from
that time in its improvement. The estate comprises, as
we understood, 3,500 acres. Round about the houses
there are six acres of pleasure grounds and three acres
and a half of kitchen garden, and though the natural
beauties of the place are less, perhaps, than might have
been desired, taste and unstinted expenditure have sup-
plied the defect. The house has been erected from the
designs of Mr. John Thomas, well known from his con-
nexion as sculptor with the new Houses of Parliament.
Parts of the old structure were retained, and have in
some degree influenced the interior arrangements. Pro-
bably if Mr. Peto had seen then what he sees now, he
would have cleared all away, and started afresh ; this,
indeed, is the opinion that most have arrived at who have
tried the same experiment.
The style of the building externally we must call
Elizabethan, for want of a term of closer definition, and
the materials used are Caen stone and red bricks.f
There are two towers, it will be seen: the upper part of
the principal one is fitted up as an observatory, and
further contains a tank, into which water is pumped by
steam for the supply of the house. The dormer win-
dows in the root of the house are boldly treated, and
form very effective features, somewhat Scotch in cha
racter.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
ASCOT HEATH RACES.—FmnAY.

A " whip " for a second-class Wokingham having
succeeded, the card exhibited the average number of
races, lacking, however, the ono event that for th(
last tour or five years has been its chief attraction,
and which, it is to be hoped, will be restored nest
year. The miserably small amount of traffic on this
occasion will, we doubt not, convince the directors of the
South-Western line of the policy of agreeing to the pro-
posal from the Great Western Company, referred to on
Monday.
The weather yesterday was fine, but the company
limited to the parties staying in the neighbourhood for
the week. We noticed the Marquis of Downshire, the
Marquis of Drogheda, Marquis of Exeter, Earl of
Easton, Earl and Countess of Eglinton, Earl of Dur-
ham, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl and Coun-
tess of Strathmore, Earl of Airlie, Earl of Besborough,
Lord de Lisle, Lord G. Paget, Lord Cliftlen, Lord En-
field, Lord and Lady Newport, Lord Maidstone, Lord
Bateman, Lord Dunkellen, Lord G. Manners, Sir
Robert and Lady Bigot, Sir W. Codrington, Sir T.
Burke, Sir H. Peyton, Honourable Colonel and Mrs.
Anson, Honourable Major Pitt, Honourable Major
Needham, Hon. Captain Rous, Hon. J. Macdonald, Hon.
Cecil Forrester, Hon. H. Forrester, Colonel Newton,
Colonel Peel, Mr. Payne, Mr. Shelley, Mr. G. Fitzroy,
Mr. J. Stanley, Mr. Newton, Mr. Jacques, Mr. Drinkald,
Mr. Oliver, Ste.

The races, which commenced at half-past twelve, came
off as follows

The principal apartments are the entrance-hall and
dining hall. The latter is very lofty, for its size, and
has a richly decorated ceiling, carried on corbels, which
present amongst their ornaments, the boar, stag,
and hunting emblems. The sides of this room
are in two stories, and the observer will detect
here the junction of old work and new. The appearance
of extent is increased by looking-glasses at each end, in
the upper story, which serve to close openings into a
gallery. The windows are filled with stained glass, by
Ballantyne, of Edinburgh (a little too yellow in
tone), and include medallion heads, in the first, of New-
ton and Watt; in the next, of Chaucer and Shakepere;
And in the third, of Wren and Iteynelis—thus memo-
rialising science, literature, and art. The desire to do
his is apparent throughout the edifice and grounds; and
forme, indeed, the great and distinguishing characteris-
tic of the place.
The chimney-piece of the dining-ball is supported by
two figures—of an old man and a young girl, incar-
nating summer and winter, and is surmounted by the
shield of the proprietor in foliage, with his earnest
motto, "Ad fidern fidelis." Compartments are formed
in the walls for paintings, and to fill these, commissions
have been given to Sir Edwin Landseer and Stanfield
(for the space on each side of the chimney-piece), And
to Herbert and Lance—the space over the side-board
at each end of the hall.

The painted decorations, we may here mention, are
being executed by Mr. Moxon—of whose singnlarly ex-
cellent imitations of rare woods and marbles, we have
Define had occasion to speak.
The entrance-hall has a panelled ceilinn. ; windows
ailed with shields of arms; a staircase of oak; and gal-
lery carried on large consoles. Over the fire-place here
:s Maclise's fine picture, " The Departing Warrior."
Scattered throughout the house are many very interest-
ing pictures, and a small collection of ancient armour.
In what is called the White Drawing-room, the plea-
er enrichments are more light and elegant than else-
where, especially the caps of the pilasters, and the
foliage in the panels of the ceiling. Two sculptured
marble chimney-pieces here present—in one, figures of
Art and Science, with heads of Raffaelle and Watt; and
to the other, figures of Music and Poetry, with heads
of Shakspere and one of the world's great composers.
Che walls of this room are panelled with looking-glass.
The library has a panelled ceiling, somewhat too heavy
for a low room, and is fitted up with carved oak by
Willcox, of Warwick.

In the principal bed-rooms are many things horn
Stowe, and some curious wall•hangings, hhowing, in
what Falstaff calls " fly-bitten tapestries," the stories of
Penelope and Lucretia, and incidents in the life of
Moses.

The grounds contain a large amount of sculpture: the
fountain indicated on the left side of our view includes
a female figure of elegant design. Near this are four
tures of boys in marble, personifying the sea-
ions; two garden seats near the conservatory show
sculptured heads of some of the early kings, and at the
entrance to a fine avenue of trees on one side of
the grounds are sculptured hunting groups of very con-
siderable merit, all the work of Mr. Thomas.
The conservatory is mainly of iron, with a roof on the
ridge and furrow principle, and is floored with coloured
cements and tiles. The stable buildings include a clock
tower, and the furnace chimney in the gardens is topped
with iron, and made to accord in character with the_
house. At a small distance from this there is a small
chapel, with which, probably,
an architect has bad little
Co do.
There was a divine who used to say, when preaching
to the youths of his congreation, " beware of being
golden apprentices, silver journeymen, and copper
masters ;' and with a like motive it may not be useless
to mention that Mr. Pete, now only forty-two years
of age, left school at the earlyhisague
ncolef,
m
four-
teen; and being apprenticed to
Henry Peto, the builder, worked three years at the
bench, used the trowel foryes; and passed
the remaining three years of his a
apprenticeship
mason's banker. Whenwas little at the
he more than twenty-
one, his uncle died, and
left his business and his capital
jointly to him and to leM_ r. Thomas_ Grissell, also a
nephew. Their first work was nungerford-market,
their second the new Houses of Parliament,—afterwards
placed wholly, in the hands of Mr. Grissell. They built
the Reform Club-house, the Oxford and Cambridge
Clubhouse, the Model Prison at Clerkenwell, and many
other large structures: the St. James's Theatre was
completed by them in thirteen weeks. They also en-
tered very largely into railway works, and to these,
after the dissolution of the partnership, Mr. Peto con-
fined his attention: we may mention more especially the
Eastern Counties line, the line from Ashford to Folke-
stone, the Southampton and Dorchester, the Oxford and
Birmingham, and in conjunction with Messrs. Betts, the
whole of the Great Northern line north of Peterbo-
rough. When we say that there were employed on his
works at one time ten first-class locomotive engines,
2,300 waggons, 916 horses, and 14,800 men, some idea
may be gained of their great extent, and of the energy
and power required to keep all well in band. There
are many excellent traits recorded of Mr. Pete, but for
none does ho deserve more honour than.for his continued
and enlightened efforts to raise the character of the large,

much we may advance our own interests by attending

BLACIEFRIARS-DRIDGE.---The works to secure the
defective arches of Blackfriars-bridge are completed, without
any hindrance to the navigation. Yesterday the centre arch,
which has been stopped for nearly four months, was re_
opened. The plan adopted is the formation of an inner arch
composed of massive timbers, over which is spread a ceiling
of zinc, to prevent the gear of sailing vessels or the funnels of
steamers catching between the timbers.
The wheat crops in the neighbourhood of Stamford
are full of promise, and as we have at length been favoured
with refreshing rain% there is reasonable hope for a boupti-
ful harvest. Spring corn does not present such a good ap-
pearance, the long period of dry weather baying exhausted
nearly all the moisture front the soil ; but it is not past re-
covery, and a few days will now probably see it in full vigour

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
FRENCH PLAYS.
Madlle. Rachel appeared last night iu the character of
Pauline, in CornellWs tragedy of Po/pude, and it is not
one of the least triumphs of .her genius that she has
raised this heretofore helry character of Pauline into
one of the highest and most interesting in the tragic
repertoire. Pauline, during the first four acts, is the very
pink of propriety and virtue. She is, in fact, perfect;
and never was the aphorism of Byron, that
"Perfection is
Insipid in this naughty world of ours,"
more convincingly illustratekthan in the character of
Pauline. Up to the commencement of the fifth act, Rachel
fought boldly against the frigidity of the part,' and in-
dicated rather than exhibited the • mental effort by
which she endeavoured to restrain all outward expres-
sion of emotion. And herein she displayed her consum-
mate art and genius, for Pauline is, up to the end of the
fourth act, a sort of Pagan-Quaker, by whom the
exhibition of any strong emotion would be
considered a breach of duty. A change, however,
takes place in the fifth act. He; husband Polyeucte is
a Christian, and prefers martyrdom to apostacy. Pau-
line becomes converted by the sight of his martyrdom;
the icy bonds of duty and propriety in which she had
been held at once beeetite melted; she discovers that she
his a heart and feelings; and as she utters the wards
.‘ Je crois," the stoic, becomes. woman, and the
woman becomes angelic. This is the great tri-
um
froph of
ticism Rachel, and. never has the progress
m sceP to faith. and the rapid passage of faith
into enthusiasm, been so
.sublimely represented as by.

Rachel. She seemed inspired even as one of the
Lord
Pro-
phets.. The applause was rapturous. The pleasant little

nuihe spirit of witty comedy.

should not be honest, however, if we were to say that we
expect he will do so in a pecuniary point of view—the
public it addresses being comparatively select. It seems
to us that two great mistakes have been made—in the
first place, the shell is much too costly for the kernel;
and in the next place, the interior is swamped by the
staircase and galleries, so that the first impression on en-
tering is one of disappointment. Our readers, however,
must not be deterred by this—fet them at once go up to the
top. and when the eye and mind have accustomed them-
selves to the scale —which is necessary with all models
—they will find it a very extraordinary work, full of interest
and suggestive of knowledge. The volcanic districts are
very interesting : the vast proportion of wilderness and water
making up the world becomes strikingly evident, and we
wonder over the laws that keep in safety the peopled ridges
of land which the sinuous rivers, extending hero, there, and
everywhere, have left high and dry ; and then to find that
that small jagged spot is England, and to trace her dominion
far away; but in speculations such as these we must not
indulge, ;hough our readers, when they go there, doubtless
will. The Admiralty, the Geographical Society, and all
educational bodies should give all the aid in their power to
the undertaking. The value of the model would be increased
by marking the equatorial line, and some means should be
adopted to make obvious the position of principal places.—

INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM.—A general court of the
subscribers and patrons of this institution was held yester-
day at the London Tavern; Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell,
M.P., in the chair. The report stated that the number of
infants maintained in the asylum, at the date of their last
report in 1850, was 335. Since then there had been admit-
ted 83, making a total of 418. Of these 67 had left on the
completion of their term, and the deaths from the epidemics
of infancy and all other causes had been 10, and there re-
mained 341. The health of the establishment had continued
to be most favourable, and they have scarcely had one case
of serious sickness throughout the building. The annual
subscriptions for the past year far exceeded the amount
realised during any previous year, while every other branch
of income had also been amply sustained; 3981. in legacies
had been bequeathed during the past year. Miss Burdett
Coutts had presented the sum of 250 guineas, for a life pre-
sentation to this asylum. The receipts for the past year, in-
cluding a balance of 210/. 6s. 4d , amounted to 11,2761. 10s.
10d ; and the expenditure, including purchase of nearly
3,0004 stock and Exchequer-bills, tc, a like amount. The
stock standing to the credit oi the institution amounted to
13.4751. The report was adopted, and the erection of ten
children—five boys and five girls was then proceeded with.

MANSLAUGEITER ON ASCOT RACE- COURSE.—An
event, attended with loss of life, occurred on Ascot race-
course, between four and five o'clock on Wednesday atter-
noon, the facts of which are as follows :—lt appeared that
two persons of low character—one named Isaac Jacobs, a
Jew, and a general dealer, and the other named William
Htint, a dyer, who refused to give his address—were on the
race-course, and there is good reason to believe that con-
jointly they had succeeded in obtaining a purse, containing
a large sum of money, on the course, and that some dispute
jumped
arose between them about sharing it. The Jew refused to
give up any of the money, when Hunt, with a foul expres-
y Inspector Field
linn for nearly a
sion, exclaimed "I'll knock it out of you," and immediately
struck him several blows, the last being 5
