CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The balms dobg in the Funds is scarcely worth nodee.—
Comas have remained during the whole of the morning nearly at
the same price. T►ey opened at Uto g for the Account. and
8871; for Money ; bat the an ival last sight of the great City
capitalist, at his mansion in Piccadilly, from Paris, give hopes to
the jobbers and speculators that the stagnation in the market will
not be of leng duration.

The Foreign Mulct keeps pace with the British—scarcely a
bargain doing.

We have an article this day from the frontiers of Po-
land, dated the 21st August, by which it appears that the
Government has made contracts for the purpose of esta-
blishing magazines at Lubin, and other places on the
south east provinces of Poland. It is also added, that in
part of the regiments of the Polish army, the usual fur-
loughs will not be granted this autumn ; but that, on the
contrary, they will be completed by conscripts. In Po-
dolia and Volhynia, according to the accounts of travel-
lers, the roads are still covered with detachments of
Russian troops on their way to Bessarabia, to take the
place of the corps that have lately been sent from that
province over the Pruth and the Danube.
Accounts from Wallachia, August 18, state, that Gen.
Geismar sent a dispatch he received from General Die-
bitsch to the Pacha of Scutari, not to commit any act of
hostilities in the desolated countries, at the moment ne-
gociations for peace were going on ; but the Pacha did
not put any faith in the dispatch, and thought it a ruse
de guerre.
Our City oracle informs us, that Russia, Austria, Eng-
land, and France, are on the best of terms : and that the
demands of Russia to make peace with the Porte, will not
be so exorbitant as expected.
HOT AND CoLD.—A Gentleman halted at the Opera
Arcade until the passing shower had ceased ; many fo-
reigners of different nations, availing themselves of
welcome shelter, were assembled ; their propensity—
well known to all travellers—to chit chat, is not to be
subdued, either by clouds or showers—and, wet or
dry, they will talk cheerfully. Not so with Mr. Bull,
for a cloud or a shower ensures his taciturnity ; their
chic ! cla ! dada! flowed most spiritedly—but the prevailing
topic was climate, and the comparative cheapness of
natural luxuries, in their respective countries, con-
trasted with those of England; loud and verbose, they
all spoke at the same time, perfectly accordant, and,
ultimately, they incidentally seemed to have selected the
subject of bathing—contending, how very reasonable,
hot and cold baths might be procured on the Continent,
compared with the enormous price of such comforts in
England. Mr. Bull, at length aroused from his torpor,
broke his silence, and addressed them, but in a polite
and graceful tone and manner, observing—" Gentle-
men, I have heard with due attention all that has been
remarked by you—ringing the changes, on the advan-
tages of the Continental climate, and the refreshing
comforts of baths, hot and cold ;—but, surely, it is but
fair to do justice to this country, where, you must con-
fess, as to climate, we have the advantage of cold wea-
ther in summer, and warm weather in winter ; then, as
to baths (and the moderate charges for them on the
Continent) you must also confess that, from the Prince
to the peasant, every man, woman, and child, may
enjoy the salutary luxury of a shower bath, every day
in the year, gratis."
NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL.- •GNAT STRAINING
AND CAMEL SWALLOWING....-.WIISt can be the object
of that preposterous charge against Captain DICKENSON,
" for firing upon the Albion ?" Is it wished to be
inferred that he meant it as a rebuke to the Albion for
not doing her duty ? or, that he was playing a double
game, and destroying both friend and foe ? or, that he
did not know an English from a Turkish ship ? or, so
wild in his sanguine ambition for promotion, as to hope
that one of the Genoa's chance shot might kill the Cap-
tain of the Albion, and increase vacancies for immediate
promotion, to ensure his (Captain Dlc KENSON'S)?—
What other inferences can be drawn front such absurd,
indefinite charges ? It is, indeed, indigestible to every
rational mind : for, even had an English shot been de-
tected as wounding the Admiral, it must, from the irre-
gular position of the hostile fleets, be presumed that the
Genoa had fired in that direction by mere mistake. But
we must presume that more is meant than meets the ear
and eye ; and, where such a melange of mystery and spleen
presents itself, we are compelled to conjectures compara-
tively vague as to the charge. Let us guess, then : may it
not be hoped by jealous authority that the re-action of
those bolts, so malignantly and indirectly pointed at the
Vice-Admiral, may hit his Royal Patron, and stigmatise
him in public opinion?
M. D'ORLEANS DE LAMOTTE, Bishop of Amiens,
was remarkable for his wit :—One day, while discoursing
with some persons on some matter of the times, one of
his antagonists, a dealer in phrases, unable to reply to
the clear reasoning of the Prelate, exclaimed, " I de-
cidedly adopt the part of silence, and envelope myself in
the mantle of humility." " Behold," rejoined the
Bishop, " a mantle—that will not inconvenience you
much—the one you carry might be borne in the dog-
days."—MENTOß.
The same Prelate being presented after dinner with a
liqueur named Oil of Venus, his host was at first em-
barrassed to pronounce its name • but when the Bishop
bad learned it, " I will drink with pleasure," said he ;
" every means should be employed to destroy such im-
pieties.—Mentor.
