make it fall still lower.
On 'l'hursdar, Friday, and Saturday last,
the sun'e heat-exceedsied his usual summer
heat by 'hiany degrees. At 3 on Friday,

degrees, or blood heat, and in the shade to

The confusion on Sunday evening (oc
easioned by the sudden storm of hail,
thunder,. and lightning, from Kew bridge
to Hyde Paisik corner) was beyond descrip
tion the most whimsicssal that had been seen
for many yearl,-as it thpe—ned at an hour"
when people were conun in crowds to
town. By the'hurric'ane of the wind which
receded the storm of hail and rain, and
sted little more than a minute, the but:
of men and women on horseback, at like
wise ofthose in open chaisel, were carried
into the air and blown a considerable dis
tance, whilst the unfortunate owner! were
hid in a clowd of'dust, and rendered inca
pable of finding them ; horsemen ran
against each other, as did many earriages;
the ' passengerl were screaming, whilst
those without war,-e cursing and ("treating;
and the haekney" siooachmen at Kensmgton
took the advantage, m'any asking half
a guinea to bring a company to llyde

The gallery was crowded thin day bo—
sore 2 o'dock, in expectation us the. open
ing of'thc budget; and at halsaster 8 Lord
North nose, and, in :1 speech ossull three
hours and a quarter long, delivered him
self of his annual lsurthen. He first, as
usual, specisied the several grants, and ex
plained the nature of them as he went
along. He then enumerated the deficien
cies, and lasily stated the way- and means,
the dctnil of which was mosllv emitaincd
in the several rclsisiolutiuns l'C purtcd from
the money ehairlince the commenccsiment
os the sellion. His next was to sum up
(he told of both accotmtsi, and itnite the
balance on which his operation of smance
was to depend. According to this state—
ment, the totsiil of the way: and means
was 6.5oo,oool. the total oi'the grantsor
supply 5,50:>,ocol. \\ hich leisit a hssilsimcc of
l,ooo,oool. which he proposed to apply
towards the rcduction of the national debt,
in the following manner: To pay cfi'onc
million ot'the'3 per cer-t. unnuitics at 88,
which would be 880 ,ccsl. by which means
there would be :: balance and rciidue of
120,oool. to make good the deticieneics,
or to pay off the loo,oool. granted to 1st
Majesty, which he did not include in the
general statement. Among th iteml
contained in the grunts, he took credit
for 150,oool. to be gained on a luttery,
at the'rate of sos. per tickct on 60,ooo
ticketl, and men proposed Lip motion,
which fi'as to the following ]zurport:
" That all pcrlims " ho \\ ere pcticiicd of
3 per cent. annuitics, on or beiore the 24th
o't April, should have liberty to go to the
bank on Monday next, and iusibleriLe an

be paid on, Was suhscribed, then each
stockholder shall be entitled to a filth, - :
tenth, or a twentieth part oshin (hbsoeip-si
tion." This prop'oiition seemed to be ss
extremely well received on all side: of the
House, as preventive of all that iinputed
partiality and conlulion, riot, and mile,
that had been experienced on sormer oc- -
casiom, when the strongest arms, thebest
known face, or the person who was fortu- -
nate enough to take his stand near the
door, del-it ed every advantage, tothe total ?
exclusion of such as were not thus happily
qualisied or stationed. His Lordslzip en
tered into a general view of the public]:
debt: asthey stood on the 5tlt of january
lust, and of the several wars sihce the fic
volution which occasioned them; and, un
der the sormerhead, stated the nationaldebf.
at .that period, compared with what it
was at the commencement ostlte late psieacsie'
in 1763, by which he shewed there was
above nine millions paid off.
Mr. Hartly observed on several items in
