It is with the greatest present the result of the cosarterty Aocounts which. have lately been made up at the £xch*q*et, and which afford the most 4uhstantiat proof of the very flourishing -condition of our finan cial resources. From these, it appears, that in the quarter o Mich faded the 10th instant, the surplus of the Consolidated Fond has amounted to 2,714,0001.—Thi0 is the largest quarterly surplus of that fend that has yet been known.
