The National Debt.—A Parliamentary Paper...
The National Debt . —A parliamentary paper , just printed by order of the House of Commons , gives an account of all add iti ns which have been made to the annual charge of the public iebt by the interest of any loan that has been made , or annuities created , within thp last ten years . In the year 1840 the addition was £ 546 , 627 7 s . 9 fl ., and the annual charge created £ 16 , 562 16 s . 2 d . In 1841 , the addition was £ 778 . 569 8 s . lid ., and the annual charge £ 23 , 590 13 s Id . Further additions were also made in that year to the extent of £ 6 , 000 , 000 , and the additional charge in respect of tha » sum amounted to £ 186 . 900 . The additions in 1842 amounted to £ 1 , 183 000 , and the annual charge to £ 36 000 . In the year 1843 the addition amounted to £ 42 , 000 , and the annual charge created thereby amounted to £ 1300 . In 1844 the addition was limited to £ 15 , 217 10 s . 5 d , and the annual charge to £ 461 Is . 9 d . Th * -re were no additions to the public debt in the year 1845 or 1846 , but in the year 1847 the public debt whs increased by upwards of eight millions , in consequence of the famine in Ireland . The addition made on this occasion amounted to £ 8 93 S 547 9 s . 8 d ., and the annual charge in respect of it to £ 270 , 837 10 s . 8 d . In the year 1848 the public debt was still further increased by the sum of £ 2 , 288 , 434 18 s ., the annual charge on which is £ 69 , 339 11 s . Collisions at Sea . —In the year 1849 there were no less than 569 collisions at sea , and yet the number was much less than they wore in 1847 or 1848 , although there was a great increase of commercial traffic . The fewer collisions in 1849 is ascribed to the stimulated vigilance and circumspection on board , which the Government investigations have incited during the last three years . Incumbents and Curates . —According to a Parliamentary paper printed on Thursday , the last diocesan returns show 7779 resident incumbents , and 3094 nonresident . There are 7917 glebehouses , and 11 , 611 benefices . The number of assistant-curates to incumbents is 2998 , with stipends varying from £ 10 a-year to £ 300 The largest number in one class ( 940 ) receive £ 100 and under £ 110 . . £ ~ ™ Y . , " I ' . 1

| HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Returns . ) The public health , as indicated by unusual lightness of the bills of mortality , bears at the present time a favour able appearance . The mortality is low , not as compared ¦ with that which prevails in places of better sanitary con dition , but with what has been commonly observed in London at the same period of former years . The deaths registered in the week ending last Saturday were 736 in the 22 nd week of the ten years 1840-9 , they rose from 760 , which was the lowest number , and occurred in 1842 to 960 in 1847 ; the average was 860 , or , if corrected for increase of population , 938 ; the present decrease on which , therefore , amounts to 202 . Mr . Martin , the Registrar for St . Jamrs , Bermondsey , states that " he never knew his locality so healthy as at present . But the tidal ditch is the great plague spot of the district , and last week men have been casting decayed vegetable matter and surface mud on the banks , from which arises effluvium the most disgusting , and especially dangerous under the temperature which prevails at the present time . The mean daily reading of the barometer at the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , was above 30 in . on Wednes day , Friday , and Saturday , on which last day it was 30 . 179 in . ; the mean of the week was 29 . 895 . The mean temperature in the week was 58 . 2 deg ., rather higher than in the same week on an average of seven years . On Thursday it was lower than the average , and on the two following days it was respectively 5 and 2 deg . above it .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Fill DAY , The upward tendency in the Home Funds , which wore noticed last . Saturday , lias , upon the whole , been fully maintained throughout the present week . Business on 'Change assumed a tone oi' great firmness at . the opening on Monday , and it has never been relaxed in any sensible degree . The market did not close on that day until an iidvance in Consols had been established ; and on Tuesday this improvement was not only confirmed , but extended , with a good deal of business doing . On Wednesday the upward movement , still continued , though with a slight variation in the course of the day ; but Consols were quoted at as high a price as 97 , from which they did not recede more than £ towards the conclusion of the day ' s business . At about tl . is rate the market opened yesterday morning , with a slightly drooping tendency , and business was rather dull throughout the day , prices settling down a sh . de lower than on the day before until towards the clohe , when gi eater firmness was maniicsted . The quotation of 07 for Consols , whieh had been reached on Wednesday , was receded from about } altogether : still the iWiim pr ee <> f : ( 5 ^ was > m advance upon the opening quotation H th < pn seut week .

Certificates , 86 ; Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents ., 96 J : Danish Three per Cents ., 73 . The accounts from the Continental Bourses are , upon the whole , satisfactory ; a general improvement is taking place . In Paris the Rentes have kept up well . In Amsterdam and in Hamburgh there has been considerable activity , though no material change . In " Vienna a depression has prevailed , the consequence , no doubt , of the financial difficulties of the Prussian Government . Our Railway Share Market has looked firmer almost daily , the influence of the advancing Money Market having had a beneficial effect . Shares in the best lines have been in considerable demand . Dealings have been particularly active in North-Western , Great Western , Midland , Eastern Counties , London and Brighton , and South-Eastern and Dover , which have all more or less advanced in consequence . The Corn Market has not experienced any further decline , upon the whole ; in the fitier samples of wheat , indeed , the prices of last week have been in some instances rather exceeded . The Foreign Produce Market has not been very active , with the exception , perhaps , of sales in some descriptions of sugar , for which stiff prices have been maintained . The accounts from the manufacturing districts are of rather an improved character . In Manchester there has , during the last few days , been an active demand , not only for yarns and cloths , but printed and fancy goods , more especially such as are suitable for the foreign merchants ^ Employment is steady , and in many cases increasing in the cotton mills , and wages are good . In the Yorkshire woollen manufactories there are reports of fair average markets , and a good steady trade has been doing throughout the week , even in fancy goods , which are generally a poor test of business . The wool market itself has undergone no material change ; if anything , there has been a slight depression . The silk manufactures of Macclesfield have been in greater request this week , though very low prices can still only be obtained .
