THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
A great mass of intelligence has been received, both
from Belgium and Oporto, but not of a decisive nature.
Toe most important information is the resignation of the
Belgian Ministers, they having met with a decided opposi-
tion in the &Ivan Chambers, hut we understand that
King Leopold will not accept their resignation, and prefers
dissolving the: Chambers, to prevent all further cab,'
during the operations against the citadel of Antwerp.
The King of Holland was well informed of the decided
rancour of the Belgians against the French army enterine
Belgium, and, no doubt, he bad hopes that a counter-revo-
lution would rake place, and on the approach of hi. army into
Belgium, a great number of their officers and soldiers would
hoist the Orange colours. This was another chance Or
the King of Holland was looking to. Marshal Gerard was

by surprised ; consequently, he demanded of the Be.gian
Government the most important situations and forts to be

and mistrust between the French and Belgian Generals—

of their former defers.

Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyds at Ant-
werp, dated Nov. 27:--

" It is supposed that the French will open their fire on
the citadel from eleven batteries, of six twenty-one
pounders each, and behind them will be placed the maws.
The troops have orders to be under arms at five this
evening.

" Ican almost give you the assurance that the engi-
neers will commence to-night, at six o'clock, to ope❑ the
trenches."

Th., private letters front Aotwerp:of the above date, do
not state that the firing on the citadel is so near at hand.

The French marine have made a discovery
which is likely to have considerable effect in reducing the
expense of constructing vessels. Mix pitch and tar with
essence of tobacco, and use this mixture to csulk the ships ;
by it they are preserved from worms, which the tar thus
prepared poisons. This will save the expense of copper
bottoms, and make a diminution of some millions annually
i❑ the expenses of the naval department.

SADLER'S-WELLS.— We visited this theatre
last night, and were highly amused by the entertainments
provided by Mr. FOSTER for his benefit. Miss FORDE'S
Clever performance of Rosina, in the comic opera of the
Barber of Seville is too well known to he commented on
here—suffice it to say that it was very effective. But the
most novel entertainment of the evening was a comic scene
by Mr.T. HunsoN,in which he enacted, or rather sung, the
part of a distressed poet.
