Siturday in general is a dull day, bath for speculating
in funds and for political intelligence ; but in the former
there has hien some sctivity, owing to the Chancery Court
haring sold 40,0001. Cons,ls ; this has had the effect of
damping the Market, and Consols receded from 92i B to
921 kellers for the Account. Money is also scarce in the

house.
The Roscius American packet is expected of the 25th
ult, and may probably arrive bv Tuesday.
The continuance of the fine weather gives cheering
prospects that we shall have a fine harvest, and that the
