THE FUNDS.

This being settling day in the Consol Market, the brokers
and jobbers are busy in settling their accounts. Consols,
which left off yesterday 898 settlers for the Account, opened
at 89-1 for money, and for the October Account 90 to 908.
At present they are 891, with a heavy market, owing to the
scarcity of money. Spanish was done at 45. Portuguese

We have no further arrivals to communicate.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The settling of the Consol account appears to be going off
well, as the fluctuations during the present account have been but
trifling. Consols are at present 94 for the October ac-
count, and 891 for monce.
Spanish is not so good as in the early part of the morning,
when it reached 45i- ; it is now 45-h-
Portuguese, 814-

" Wouldst thou know," says Quarles, " the lawful-
ness of the action which thou desirest to undertake, let they
devotions recommend it to Divine blessing. If it be lawful
thou shalt perceive thy heart encouraged by thy prayer ; if
unlawful, thou shalt find thy prayer discouraged by thy heart.
That action is not warrantable which either blushes to beg a
blessing, or, having succeeded, dares not present a thanks-
giving."

We learn from Dresden, under date of the 9th,

" the heat is 28 sleg. of Reaumur, or 95 deg. of Fahrenheit ;
the drought has not been favourable to thjharvest, either of
corn or hay. In a variety of places the fuit is scarcely ripe. The
suffocating heat appears to have had its influence on our
Chamber ' • after having terminated the Budget, the dis-
cussion of which occupied many sittings, it has adjourned for
several weeks, and many of the Members are gone to take the
waters."

A letter from Stockholm, dated the Bth instant,
says :—" We have been living for the last twenty days in a
tropical heat of from 40 to 50 degrees of the centigrade ther-
mometer in the sun, or from 30 to 32 in the shade during the
day, and from 24 to 26 in the night. It has never been less
than 25 in my bed-chamber, though I have the windows open
all night. Happily, the granaries of the country are full of
the produce of last year's harvest, and though the drought of
the present season will diminish the growing crops, the in-
habitants will not suffer, and there will even be enough to
admit of exportation.—French Paper.
On Saturday, a tippling tailor, who appeared to
have an uncontrollable penchant for appropriating a good hat
wherever he could find it, and substituting a shocking bad one
in its places was summoned before the Magistrate in the Police
Court, to answer for one of these "mistakes." It appeared
from the evidence that the delinquent had formerly been in
Bridewell for stealing strong ale, and in the office a few weeks
ago for finding a hat; and that, on this occasion, he had called
at an eating-house in Bell-street,” where he had a pennyworth
of broth and potatoes, to " peel which he requested a knife
because his nails were short. This knife the tailor cabbaged,
and put the new hat of a person in the room with him on his
head and walked off,leaving a villainous bad one behind. The
theft having been speedily noticed, the thief was apprehended,
and Baillie Muir adjudged him to 60 days confinement in
Bridewell.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.
