FUNDS.

The prosperous state of the quarter's revenue, to the amount
of 1,306,6481., and on the year 2,045,4561., has not had any
effect on the Funds this morning, owing to its having been
anticipated last week, when Consols rose to 93; but this fa-
vourable state of our Treasury gives great satisfaction to the
public.
Consols opened this morning at 924 for the Account ;
and 921 93 for next time ; Reduced, 914 i. Exchequer Bills,
14 16 ; Indian Bonds, 1 3 ; Bank Stock, 2104 211.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active bonds 414 42;

344 35; Portuguese, 821; Three per Cents., 52} ; Dutch

HALF-PAST ONE.
The Galsgozo Steamer has left this morning for San Sebas:
tiara with 54 recruits for the British Auxiliary Legion. It
was intended that about 200 men should have been sent, but
the recruiting depot having been broken up, the difficulties for
that service increase every day, and it is to be feared that few
men will be got in future, if better means and more money are
not employed.
The Manchester Steamer has arrived from Lisbon with let-
ters and papers of the 28th ult. She does not bring any news
of importance. All was tranquil in the capital.

I George Robins, in announcing the sale of near
20,000 acres of land, this month and the next, makes the
following most important declaration, viz., that land has,
during the present season, experienced a most favourable re-
action, and the prospect of continuing so is highly encou-
raging. The concluding words are still more important :
EVERY ESTATE WHICH HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO HIS DIREC-
TION AND MANAGEMENT THIS YEAR, HAS, WITHOUT ONE
SOLITARY EXCEPTION, BEEN ACTUALLY SOLD.
This morning a limited administration was granted
at the Prerogative Court of the effects of the late James
Wood, Esq., the great banker: the administration is confined
to paying the banking debts, &c.
VICISSITUDES OF FORTUNE.—It is not more
singular than true, that in a parish not one hundred miles
from the Royal Exchange, one of the paupers, who formerly
kept a large coffee-house in that neighbourhood, is at this time
receiving parish relief ; and the overseer whose duty it is to
relieve him, was formerly his porter, and at this time is master
of the same coffee-house. We feel for and pity this poor
man, who formerly relieved the poor in the same room in which
he at this time receives his own pauper allowance.
The world is like a drunken peasant : help him on
horseback and he tumbles down on the other side. It can-
not, by any possible means, be mended. It is, and will be,
the devil's own world. I am perfectly weary of it. Would
that our Lord would come quickly, and take me from it. Let
him come with the Last Judgment, and I will hold out my
neck for the stroke; let the thunder-bolt lay me in repose !
I pe,rceive Om:40mo the world an inveterate avarice, and this
is one of the signs which persnades mp that the last day is at
hand. The world seems to be in its dotage, in its last agony.

The DigriQ di Romq of the 18th ult, states, that
on the 14th, two shocks of an earthquake were felt at Fras-
cati, about one o'clock in the afternoon, but they were slight,
and only worthy of remark as being coincident with the vibra-
tions of the same nature in Sicily, Calabria, Mantua, and the
Lombardo Venetian kingdom.
