DESTRUCTION OF BOTH HOUSES OF PAR-
LIAMENT.

We received the following at a late hour yesterday
afternoon, which we gave in our Second Edition ; its
authenticity may be depended upon :
(‘ We understand that upon receiving intelligence
of the destruction of the Houses of Parliament, his
MAJESTY, with that devotion to the public interests
which has invariably marked his conduct, immediately
placed the Palace newly-erected in St. James's Park,
at the disposal of the nation, in order to meet the
emergency. It is not yet determined whether this ge-
nerous offer is to be accepted, but the value of the
sacrifice is to be estimated the more highly, because it
is well known that the apartments at present occupied
by their MAJESTIES at St. James's, are scarcely
suitable to the convenience of private individuals of
opulence, much less to the becoming and decorous
magnificence of Sovereigns."
