FIRE AT THE WHITTINGTON
CLUB.-(THIS DAY.)

A fire broke out in the kitchen of this institution
about half-past four this morning, and burned with
great fury till about seven. The engines of the fire
brigade were soon on the spot, and the exertions of
the brigade put a stop to the flames before very much
injury was done to the main part of the establish-
ment, the kitchens, with three rooms over them,
being in a second building at the back, connected
with the main building only by a range of small side
rooms. All the furniture in this back part, which v 95
very substantial and elegant, and had only been i!1
use three months, is either entirely or partially de-
stroyed.
The building itself does not seem to be substan'
tially injured.
The conservatory, which connected the back and
front premises, was filled with sheets of plate glass,
seven feet high, and nearly half an inch thick, which
were cracked by the heat, and strewed on the floor
like broken biscuit.

The building and contents are insured in several
offices.

Of course the operations of the club will be stopped
for a time ; but some parts of those operations, which
are carried on at the offices in Cheapside, such as the
classes, will proceed as before.
