Walk to the Cottage, and inspected. the various im-
provements now going on. Previously, however, to his
leaving the Castle, Lord"l3EttKEttes stag hounds came
into the Little Park in full chase of a fine deer, which
took the direction immediately under the Terrace, from
which his MAJESTY had a full view of the interesting
scene, which was as gratifying as it was delightful. The
deer being closely pursued leaped over the piling into
the Slopes, and thence scaled the wall, proceeding by
Frogmore through the enclosures ; he then crossed the
Long Walk, taking two gardens in his career, and en-
tered the kitchen of the'Foot Guards in Sheet.street at
the time dinner was being served up. At this moment
Lord BERKELEY was close up, and immediately alighted
at the Barracks. The deer was secured. After his
ride, his MAJESTY returned to the Castle to dinner.

DIE DIORAMA.—This charming exhibition attracted

ALARMING Firm—Yesterday forenoon, about twelve
o'clock, the nei,girbourhood of Cranborne-alky, Leices-
ter-square, WAS thrown into a state of the greatest alarm
by an immense volume of flame and smoke bursting
from the shop and first-floor windows of the house of
Mr. Dunn, shoemaker, and from the amazing rapidity
of the devouring element, it was at first thought that
not one of the numerous inmates would have escaped.
However, several or the neighbours, with great activity,
tore down the shutters, and with the aid of the paro-
chial engine, confined the flames-to the lower part of
the house; and while they were engaged in this praise-
worthy act, a scene that baffles description was going
on among the lodgers, every room having its occupants,
and all, in a state of inconceivable confusion and alarm,
were flinging from the windows their furniture,s&c. into.
the street in every direction. One of the upper room
windows was in the confusion thrown open, and directly
after a large saucepan was hurled into the street, with
a loud exclamation of, " Take care of the pork ;" and
in its progress through the air, a leg of pork, several
dumplings, and some greens fell out; this incident
had such a ludicrOus effect, that shouts of laughter
were re-echoed on all sides: the owner, a tailor, ap-
peared at the window, and was with the greatest dif-
ficulty prevented darting into the street after his dinner.
It seems he was awoke by his wife, who, in great alarm,
informed him the house was in flames; and his first im-
pulse was to fly to the fire, and hurl the pot containing
his family dinner, for safety, into the street. The flames,
by very great exertion, were confined to the lower part
of the premises of Mr. Dunn, which consist of a double
house, with two shops, until the arrival of the Sun, Ex-
change, and County fire-engines, when a plentiful sup-
ply of water being obtained, in about an, hour the fire
was completely subdued, having destroyed sheentirerof
the ground floor: the shops and the'valuable*-stoceirt
trade were completely reduced to ashet !.-. .v.;
