" Kensington Palace, June 21."
The fete in the Regent's Park, by the Marquis of
Hertford, on Monday night, was upon the usual scale of
princely splendour and liberality. The peculiar grandeur and
taste which distinguishes the eastern pavilion has long been a
theme of panegyric. The visitants began to arrive at ten
o'clock, and they continued to pour in till two in the morning.
The equipages occupied every line of road.
The Club mania is evidently increasing. New
Clubs spring up, and the old revive. Of the new, there is the
Reform, in Pall-mall, firmly established, and the Alliance,
proceeding favourably towards establishment. Of the old
Clubs revived, there is White's, which has been re-constructed
on a less exclusive and more commodious system ; and there is
the Alfred, in Albemarle-street, one of the oldest of the old
Clubs, bidding fair to renew its ancient reputation. The
Oxford and Cambridge Clubhouse will be opened in 1838 at
furthest.

Among other Parliamentary gossip, a Member of
Parliament, anxious to leave town, it is said was told, by a
well-informed colleague, he had better wait till Friday ; there
was likely to be a short prorogation till next October.
No less than sixteen pickpockets were committed
from Marlborough-street office, on Saturday, after the review.
THE SILK TRADE.—Yesterday the quarterly sale
of raw silks by the East India Company commenced at the
India House. The declaration consisted of 2,000 bales of
Bengal, and the attendance of buyers was very numerous.
The quantity which passed the sate was 440 bales. The
quotations realised varied considerably, a portion of silks
fetching the previous sale prices, while others went off at an
advance. The average prices of silk are estimated at from 5
to 7 per cent, above what they were at the Company's sale in
March last.

Yesterday morning, the family of a gentleman
named Richards, residing at No. 20, Great Chart-street, Hox-
ton, New-Town, was thrown into the most poignant distress
of mind by the receipt of a letter by the Threepenny Post,
bearing the post-mark of" Kensington," and signed 44 William
Richards," stating that tl:e writer would be found dead that
day in Kensington Gardens. The letter not being in the
handwriting of Mr. Richards, who had been from home from
the previous morning without his family been able to account
in any way for his absence,. great fears were immediately en-
tertained that the unfortunate gentleman had by some means
unfairly come by his death. His relatives accordingly imme-
diately proceeded to the police-station at Kensington, but no-
thing could be learnt of the writer of the letter, and although
several policemen of the A and T divisions, assisted by the gar-
den-keepers, end the friends of Mr. Richards, were for hours
engaged in searching the gardens, no trace of that individual
had been discovered at a late hour in the evening.
