The allied squadrons had destroyed the batteries erected by

KEw.—On Monday
escape,y
Kew-green, Surrey, the residence
of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, had- a nar-
rowfrom being destroyed by fire.- From inquiries
made on the spot,- it appears that about four years since an
alteration Was msde in the formation of the fireplace in his
#oya.l ninighnesile bed-roo which is situated directly over
his sitting-rooms, in about the centre of ' the south
front-of . the . building, and,. for the purpose of afford-
ing greater •warmth -to the room, a grate of peculiar/y
low construction was put in. The grate was a.t on a
hesith stone, with fire bricks and Welsh lumps, but sta.-
,eieat care was, not at the time taken by the parties
who made the alteration to secure the bond timber.
which - omission ;has . caused . the present accident.
-the.-grate and hearth-stone being removed, it was
found that-the latter had been placed directly over a beam
,about a foot square,, which, owing to .the great heat occa-
sioned by the fires kept up to warm the room, had ignited,
and set fire to the girders and other portions of the flooring.
Had .not thendiScovery. been providentially made so early.
from the.. high 'wind. which prevailed the whole edifice
must. have been distioYed, from there being no water-laid on
at Kew. . -., , . . -
