- w Statistics op Savings Banks . —It appears by a Parliamentary paper , printed at the instance of Mr . Hume , that the total number of depositors in savings banks during the year 1847 was 1 . 095 , 554 , and that the amount of deposits , including interest , was £ 30 , 207 , 180 . In 1848 the depositors fell off to 1 , 055 , 881 , and the deposits to £ 28 , 114 136 ; but in 1849 the number and amount both showed ' an increase , the numbers being 1 , 087 , 354 , and the amount of deposits £ 28 , 537 , 100 . Of the latter sum , £ 26 , 671 , 903 was lodged by private individuals , £ 612 , 376 by charitable institutions , and £ 1 , 252 , 731 by friendly

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Returns . ) In the weekending last Saturday the deaths registered in the metropolitan districts were 844 ; in the previous week they were only 736 . In the three corresponding weeks of 1847-9 the deaths ranged from 786 to 971 ; and taking the corresponding weeks of 10 years , the average is 861 , or , raised in the ratio of population , 939 . The present return , therefore , shows a decrease on the average equal to 95 . With the increasing warmth of the weather the mortality from diseases of the respiratory organs steadily declines .
The mean reading of the barometer in the week was 29878 ; the daily mean was above 30 in . on the first three days of the week . The mean temperature was 59 deg . 3 min . ; it was above the average of the same week in seven years on the firRt four days , and below it during the rest ; the highest in the sun was about 104 degrees on Monday , Tuesday , and Wednesday . The wind was in the east on the first three days ; it veered to the southwest on the afternoon of Wednesday , and continued generally in that direction through the rest of the week .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Saturday Moiinino . Half-past Eleven . With the exception of a slight decline at the opening of business on Monday , which was soon recovered , the English Funds have been remarkably buoyant this week . The depression alluded to was ascribed to the news from France , which reported Rentes as having fallen : but this intelligence was more than balanced by the telegraphic announcement , at a later hour , of the total failure of the Cuban expedition , which caused Consols to go up from 9 GJ to 97 , at which price they remained .
On Tuesday the upward tendency was maintained , and as the transitions in connection with the settlement , which was to take place next day , did not show any particular pressure of slock upon the market , the closing price was 9 71 . On Wednesday they opened with a tendency upwnrd , and several transactions took place at 978 , but the high price having brought sellers into the market , prices receded to 9 ( 5 J . from which point they rallied , Consols , at tlie dose or business , having been 97 to 971 On Thursday they left off at 971 .
The rantfo of prices during the week has been—Consols , 9 ( 1 | to 97 j ; Thn e anda-Quarter per Cents , 97 $ to 98 | ; 13 . i . k Stock , 208 to 209 ; Exchequer Bills , 68 t « . to 71 s . premium . In Foreign Securities very little business has taken place during the week , but prices have been , on th « average , well supported . The current quotations are .
Brazilian , Small , at 88 ; Danish Five per Cents ., 99 ; Granada , 18 and 18 £ ; Mexican , for money , 31 | and ± ; for the account , 31 f ; the Small , 31 f ; Portuguese Four per Cents ., 34 J ; Russian , 109 ; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents ., 964 ; the Scrip , 3 | premium ; Spanish Five per Cents ., 17 £ and f ; the Three per Cents ., for money , 38 £ and J ; for the account 38 A ; Venezuela Deferred . 12 ; Dutch
Twoand-a-Half per Cents ., 57 & , h h * and tne -Four per Cent . Certificates , 86 g , £ , and £ . ''* * The prevailing accounts from the manufacturing districts have been of a much more cheerful character this week . The Manchester trade has begun to improve , although the short supply of the raw material still operates as a considerable drawback upon this great branch of our national industry . In Yorkshire , the woollen manufacture continues in a very prosperous state .
