NORFOLK. 
Arundel Caftle, which is faid to confer 
upon its owner, by the mere fact of its pof- 
fetiion, the earldom of Arundel, is now re- 
ceiving fucn repairs and embellifhments as 
rouft render it the chief of ancient refidences 
in England. Perhaps no other building of 
equal date has been retained in.a habitable 
condition, without having its appearance, and 
the flyle of its conftrustion, in fome degree 
perverted by additions ‘and alterations incon- 
fiftent with the tafte of the age in which it 
was biilt. Arundel caftle, on the contrary, 
is but maintainea and continued by its prefent 
exterlor improvements, vaft as they ares the 
delign of the original founder is fill obeyed ; 
the new walls have rifen upon the snetene 
model, and correfpond with the old ones in 
folidity of fabric, as well as dignity of orna- 
ment. The fucceflor of the Montgomerys, 
the Albeneys, and the Fitz-Alans, has’ re- 
{pected their tafte, and that of the ages in 
which they here held dominion over their 
ample territories. An entire new front of 
matly ftone differs from the others only in 
exhibiting the infignia of the Howards, mixed 
with thofe of their predeceffors. In raifing 
this front, the duke has taken an opportunity 
to enlarge the houfe, and appears to have 
gained the fpace now occupied on the bafe- 
ment ftory, by, a long range of fervants’ of~ 
fices, including a new kitchen, with twe 
fire-places, and grates 12 or 1q feetlong. A 
new dining-room, or rather hall, on the 
principal floor, is alfo'in this part of the 
building. The floor of this apartment is not 
yet fully laid, nor the walls fluccoed, but 
a fkirting of mahogany has been run along 
them, tothe height of four feet, and a mu- 
fig gallery at the bottom is completes. ‘This 
is one of the moft fumptuous and appropriate 
of the interior improvements. it is con- 
ftructed entirely cf mahogany, richly carved 
with the foliage of the oak and the’ vine, and 
is fupported, by folid pillars of the fame valu- 
able materials, embraced by fimilar oynaments. 
A beautiful eb: chimney - piece alfo dif- 
plays fome bacchanalian imagery 3 but this 
is intended to be removed, being ae a thape 
fomewhat too modern for the ftyle of the 
apartshent, the fucco of which will be a deep 
brown, ‘The prince, it is faid, will be pre- 
fent at the firft dinner that warms this room. 
But of all the modes of liberal and dignified 
expence difplayed in this manfion, that which. 
is peculiar and diftinguifhing is the ule of the 
richett mahogany in Ans every decoration,
