LONDON,
MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 1817.

We subjoin au account of the Quarterly Pro-
duce of the Consolidated Fund, With the charge
thereon.

Income and Charge of the Consolidated Fund
in the Quarter ending sth January, 1817 :

Charge . . X 18,200,000 0 0
' Income - - - 11,118,613 18 3t
Deficiency - 462,081,386 1 8i

Thus it appears that the deficiency for this quar-
ler is 2,081,3861. h. 81. Our Readers should
be aware that the charge upon this Fund in
the July and January quarters, always ex-
ceeds the Receipt; but it is satisfactory to
observe, that the deficiencyiis this quarter is less
by about 200,0001• than the deficieney in last
ft'
July.

The adverse and tempeituous state of the wea-
ther lies prevented any arrivals from the Conti.
pant to-day. We are afraid that the late heavy
hob of rains must have done great damage to
the country, and indeed we see from the Pro-
vincial Prints that the floods have been very in-
Orions
.in many districts. The Pluviometer
spews that about ill Inches, of rain fell within the
last week. The wheat seed sown must suffer in
some degree, and hardy as it is, we still beg to
impress on our Agriculturists the necessity of using
every means to preserve the staff of life in its
nascent state as they expect their labours to be
rewarded, a. d their country benefited by a pleo-
,l •
tiful harvest. Our first page aottialus some use. I
hints on this important subject frOm the pea of
our well-informed CouresporAct R.

Report says, that the friends of Young Watson
appear very much interested in the rumour of his
being apprehended near Bout('calm. If so, it af-
fords reabon to believe that they reckon on his
having escaped from this country.
We can, however, assure our Readers that there
k no truth in the report that young Watson is
taken.

We have, in nuotl►er column, devote►) es much
space as it dew) ve3 to the, Reform Meetii)'g at
Carlisle, -which was miser►►bly attended, though
a day of idleness► was chosen for the better chance
,►f a mob, Nothing can be more conternptibie
than the actors in this, we had almost said, tra-
vistie of Spa-fields. We rejoice, however, to see,
that with thenovelty of these assemblages the slight
influence they originally 'possessed is sinking into
utter insignificance, 'and what at first threatened
some d►►ngerous tumults from the temporary dis-
tress of .the lower :orders, has now income a
laughing-stock to them, as well as to the better
informed part of the com►punity.

We are requested to s,tute, that Mr. E. B.
CANNON, of the firm of GrAtitiori 1.11111 GARGRAVE,
is not the Mr. CANNON wu9, has appeared for
WATSON and PRESToN as their solicitor.

In complying with this request, we think it right
to' notice, that we have further heard, that 'bete
is no other Gentleman of the name of CANNON on
the List of London Attornies, except the sir.
Cati NON above•mentioned. Who and what, then,
is the person that appeared before Sir N. CON ANT
US WATSON'S solicitor, and obtained the order to
he admitted to him in prison ?! !
