entertained a large party of his friends at dinner,
end several of hie visitors remained at the house for
the purpose of forming a shunting party the follow-
ing day; but about seven o'clock they were alarm-
ed by the cry of fire, and their persomd security
was heftily effected before the whole Wei in flames.
Mach of the fernitore, rad the greases part of the
cellar of choice wines were saved. The come of
the fire has not been ascertained, bat it is con-
jectured to have *riven from the overheating of a
flue communicating with a hot dresser.

Royal Exchange Office at s,oool.—(Werproatk
