THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

What we stated yesterday in our city article in regard to an
armistice for six weeks between the Dutch and Belgians appears
to be confirmed.
From a French Paper received this morning :
BRLTSSELS, 26 (Private Letter).—Yesterday a courier
arrived from London, which brought to Sir Robert Adair a new
protocol, stating that, after the conferences on the new events,
the Plenipotentiaries have thought proper to propose to the King
of the Netherlands and to the King of Belgium an armistice of
six weeks, during which period they will interpose their good
offices for an arrangement between Rolland and Belgium. In the
mean time the troops of each party are to occupy the same posi-
tion as they did before hostilities commenced. Fhe armistice is
concluded under the guarantee of the five Powers, and if either
of the parties should break the said armistice in the interim it
will be considered as an act of hostility against the five Powers.
The protocol is numbered 54.
We are extremely sorry to state, that a current report prevails
in the city, that the brave and unfortunate Poles have experi-
enced a total defeat before Warsaw, in a general battle.
THE FUNDS. _

Up to the present hour we have no arrivals of consequence ; no
steamers are expected either from Holland or Ostend to-day,
consequently their will be a dearth of information. The express
from Paris brings the French rentes higher: Consols, which left
off yesterday at 813,4 for the account, opened at the same price;
at present they are Eit% with little doing. The report of the de.
feat of the Poles has not had any effect as yet on the market.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing.
HALF-PAST ONE.
We have made particular inquiry in regard to the reported
tot al deteat of the Poles by the Raglans, and Lind it originated
from a Rotterdam Paper of the 30th, received by the Dutch
steamer, which gives the old account received by the Hamburg
Reporter. This was magnified to a total defeat of the Poles, no
doubt for seine stock-jobbing purpose.
Consols are very steady, without any business doing, at 817,
alternately buyers and sellers.
We have no further political news.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing.

IRISH YEOMANRY.—A well informed quarter
says, the gradual reduction of the yeomanry will be 80011
commenced, and to appease the apprehensions of those who
associate danger with their diminution, a 13111 will be im-
mediately introduced for the interchange of Militias between
the three countries—England, Ireland, and &Aland.
This, it is hoped, will give general satisfaction.

There were no fresh arrivals at the Foreign or
Colonial Offices this morning.

Mr. GALT'S Lives of the Players is, per-
hap*, one of the most entertaining books extant. Of all
subjects for biography none can surpa.s in richness of ad-
venture, whim, character, and vari,ty of ecene and story,
the heroes and heroines of the sock and buskin; and never
have their vicissitudes and fortunes been more amusingly
pourtrayed than by the pen of the distinguished author of
the Life of Lord Byron.
