The emigration from the United Kingdom during the ten years ending the 3 lstof December , 1846 , amounted to 856 , 392 persons , giving an average of 85 , 639 emigrants a-ycar . During the years 1847 and
1848 the number of emigrants was 258 , 270 and 248 , 089 respectively , being nearly double the largest number that had emigrated in any previous year .

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE "WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Returns . ) The deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week ending last Saturday were , 857 . Taking 10 coriesponding weeks of the years 1840-49 , it appears that the number now returned is less than in the years 1847-49 ; that it is also less than in 1843 , but greater than in the same week of the other six years . The average of the 70 weeks is 870 , or corrected for increase of
population , 949 ; as compared with the corrected average , the mortality of last week shows a decrease of 92 deaths . The mean daily reading of the barometer in the week at the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , was 29 * 575 . The mean temperature was 46 * 7 deg ., and was less by 5 * 4 deg . than the average of the same week in 7 years . On every day it was less than the average , but especially on Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday , and Thursday , when the decrease was from 7 to 9 degrees . The wind was generally in the north-east and south-west .

^ Money Market And City Intelligence. Fr...
^ MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday , The English funds have decidedly improved this week . The Stock Market opened on Monday at an advance of about a half per cent , on the prevailing prices of last week , with considerable firmness , which was well maintained throughout the day . On Tuesday the market was in a still firmer state in the early part of the day , but it became flatter on the receipt of unfavourable accounts from the Paris Bourse , which was agitated and depressed by rumours of insurrectionary movements among the working classes . On Wednesday , however , the effect appeared to have completely passed away from our market , which was exceedingly quiet and steady all day . Yesterday not only was the reaction fully sustained ,
but a further slight advance was realized , the consequence , it was believed , of the Government broker appearing on 'Change as a buyer of stock . Consols were done as high as 96 £ for account , and 96 | money . The unsatisfactory accounts again received from Paris had the effect , however , of causing a decline in the afternoon , and prices at the close of business had more than receded to the ratio of the previous day . This morning the market is heavy . The prices of Consols have been 96 | to £ for money , and 96 J to % for the account . In Reduced Three per Cents , 'there have been considerable dealings at 95 J to S ; in New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents , at 97 to £ ; Long Annuities , at 8 £ to 3-16 ; Bank Stock , 2064 J South Sea Stock , 106 $ ; India Bonds , 88 to 90 prem . ; Exchequer Bills , 68 to 71 prem .
In the Foreign Stock Market there has been considerable animation , and both Peruvian and Mexican Bonds have experienced an advance—the Peruvians rising every day , until they have reached this morning 77 , being an advance of nearly 7 per cent , since last week , and considerable speculative operations are still going on in those Securities . Danish and Russian Scrips , and Spanish and Dutch Bonds have also improved . Peruvians have ranged from 72 to 77 ; Mexicans , 28 $ to 29 £ ; Granada , 16 &; Buenos Ayres , 52 to 53 ; Brazilian , New . 86 J ; Spanish Three per Cents ., 37 i ; ditto Five , 17
to i ; Portuguese Fours , 34 ; Dutch Two-and a-Halfs , 55 to 56 $ ; ditto Fours , 85 J to f ; Russian Four-and a-Halfs , 95 i to 94 ; ditto Scrip , 3 to J prem . ; Danish Fives , 97 i to 98 ; ditto Scrip , 7 i tof prem . On Tuesday the settlement of our monthly account took place , and was accomplished most satisfactorily . With the exception of the Paris Bourse , the continental money markets have been steady . French Rentes fell on Monday and Tuesday , but they recovered considerably on Wednesday . At Amsterdam and Hamburgh the markits have been particularly firm .
The Railway Share Market opened well on Monday ; a much increased business was done , and in several of the lending lines there was a well-sustained advance of from 5 s . to 25 s . per share Those which experienced the most decided improvement were , Great Western , North Western , Great . Northern , Caledonian , Great Southern and Western of Ireland , Manchester and Lincolnshire , Brighton ( New Guaranteed ) , Leeds and Bradford , and York and North Midland . The settlement of the halfmonthly account was on Wednesday , and passed off well ; but the tone of the market has since been rather flat . The Produce Markets have exhibited a little more buoyancy this week than has been prevalent of late .
The Corn Market has experienced another advance , though to no great amount . But it has shown much firmness , and the higher rates of last week have been invariably sustained . The Markets for Manufactures have been steady , if we except cotton yarns , which were unfortunately affected by the commercial intelligence from America . In the Manchester Goods Market there has been little or no alteration . In the woollen manufactures there has been a good deal of business doing quietly , with prices stationary . The demand has been principally for a foreign trade . Fhiday Afternoon . In consequence of the unfavourable news from Paris , and the decline in the French Rentes , Consols have fallen to do 1 for money , and 95 & g for account .
