FIRE AT WHITECHAPEL.

This morning, at about two o'clock, the neighbourhood
of Whitechapel was thrown into great agitation by an
alarming fire breaking out at the house of a Jew named
Davis, in Osborne-street, two doors from High-street.
One part of the house was a clothes-shop and the other
a confectioner's, from which part, we understand, the
fire emanated, in consequence of some of the melted
sweetmeats boiling over, and taking fire. The destructive
element communicating itself to the back of No. 75, High-
street, kept by a Mr. Bligh, an ironmonger, very quickly
~ieduced it to ashes, together with No. 74, kept by Mr.
Monk, a boot-maker ; Mr. Broughton, the linen-draper's
house, 71, was entirely gutted, but the skeleton was pre-
served. A most extraordinary instance of the great utility of
party-walls was exemplified in the preservation of Mr.
Morris's eating-house, which although between the two
houses of Davis and Monk, remained perfectly safe, the house
on each side being completely levelled.
A great number of engines were quickly on the spot,
and had it not been for great exertions, the fire ruu..sht have
e
caught hold of two wooden built houses adjoining Mt.
Broughton's, and probably have burnt the whole neighhor_
hood. We understand that Mr. Monk and 13 -
...
insured.

The Duchess of KF.i4T gave a sumptuous
dejeuni to her Majesty tie Queen of WUATENIREEC, and
the members of the Royal Family, yesterday, at her apart-
ments in the King's Palace, Kensington. The QUEEN
arrived at Kensington Palace about half-past one o'clock,
in the King's haroucbe, drawn by a pair of remarkably fine
black horses belonging. to his Majesty's stud. The Princess
AUGUSTA rode in the same barouche as her MAJESTY,
Sir Tuns. llAmlnoxn, Master of the Queen's establisb-
ment ; Madame and Mademoiselle . ROEDER, and Lady
MARY TayLoa, the Lady in waiting to the Princess
AUGUSTA, followed in two other barouches ; General
WETHERELL, the Comptroller of the Household, and Capt.
CONROY., Equerry to the Royal Duchess, received her
MAJESTY on her alighting at the entrance to the Palace.
The Duchess of GLOUCESTER arrived at the
Palace shortly before her MAJESTY. The Duke of
Sussex, and the Princess SOPIIIA, also joined the Royal
Party.

Her MAJESTY anti the whole of the Royal
party sat down at two o'clock to the dejeune, and after re-
maining till past five o'clock took her leave of the Duchess
of KENT, and returned to the King's Palace, St. James's,
accompanied by the Princess AUCUSTA. Very few of the
nobility called yesterday at the Palace to make their inqui-
ries, owing to the attraction of the Ascot-Heath races.
Among those, however, who did call were the Earl and
Countess of SOUTHAMPTON, Earl and Countess BREADAL-
BANE, ViSCOMIt and Viscountess TAMWORTH, Lord
l'llarAtEsauav, Lord CARBERY, Lord CORRY, the Bishop
of SALISBURY, the VICE-CHANCELLOR, Mr. BIERDER-
