THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK
We have but little to communicate this morning, owing
to there being no arrivals of the least consequence. Not
,a
ship letter has come to hand. But the accounts fr°';
Brussels confirm in some degree what we stated in °,°-
City article of yesterday, that the armistice between the
Dutch and Belgians has been renewed. They state fr°ll;
the above city that, in all probability, the peace will not beea
disturbed. It is said that Prussia will join England 81'a
France in demanding that the armistice should be prolong
after the 10th October.

By the express from Paris, it appears that the 31arvtd,

The Foreign Market as yet is not worth observation.
HALF-PAST OSE'i
All political information is laid aside in the city for
present, and nothing but the second reading of the Bei,
form Bill in the House of Lords is talked of on the St°`..
Exchange ; even bets are laid that it will not be car"',:i f
The election for Lord Mayor also engrosses the attention
the citizens. Sir Peter Laurie is fast gaining ground °II
his Lordship in the morning's polling. These agitati°
have had no effect on the Fund, which are very heavy $
present.
Consols have been fluctuating during the morning frl
81-„1,- down to 81i, at present they are 81-g for Accoo9, ;

Mr. COOPER, the celebrated author of the
" Pilot," is about to publish a new story, the scene °
which is laid, we hear, in that land of romance, Venie.
The very name of the tale (" The Bravo") conjures
bt
Ideas especially attractive to the novel-reader—midnig,„
revels—elopements in the moon-lit gondola—disguilo
mystery—fatal secrets—hair-breadth escapes--seren,a,o,
and assassination ; and all the otter startling and ricbi..
resque constituents of a<< well-told tale." The P aeal
will doubtless be glad to see how Mr. COOPER will
with these stirring elements which our modern roma°
writers have so long lost sight of.
