FlRE.—This morning, about nine o'clock, a fire
broke out in one of the new unfinished buildings in
Regent-street, Oxford-street, immediately adjoining
the Argyle Rooms, and employed as a sort of depot
fOr the benches, scenery, &c. of that splendid Esta-
blishment. At:one period, the Rooms themselves
were in imminent danger ; but by a fortunate shift el
the wind to the south, and a speedy supply of water, •
the fire was got under, without any outer damage
than the destruction of the roof and in,rior of the
house where it commenced. It is conjectured, that
the workmen employed in arranging the Concert
Room for the Bedford Charity, in removing the
benches into the house, may have left a light burn-
i and have thus occasioned the accident. The ka.
luable premises of the Royal Harmonic Institution
have fox to:..itely escaped without tlbe Ira*, al/sr).
