HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General's Report . ) The total number of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week ending last Saturday was 845 . This number is lower than in any of the corresponding ¦ weeks of ten years ( 1840-9 ) , except those of 1841 and 1845 , when the deaths were less than 800 ; and it is much lower than in the same week of 1843 and 1848 , when they rose above 1100 . The present returns shows a decrease on the average ( corrected for increase of population ) of 171 deaths . Taking the three classes of maladies , which together destroyed more than half of the 845 persons
who died last week—namely , the epidemic , the tubercular , and those which affect the respiratory organs—it appears that though there is a decrease in each of them , it is still more remarkable in the epidemic . In this class the deaths enumerated are 188 ( of which 137 occurred amongst children ) , whilst the corrected average is 256 . Four children and an adult died of smallpox , 24 children of measles , 24 of hooping-cough , 5 of croup , 4 of thrush , 32 persons of scarlatina , 30 of diarrhoea and dysentery , and 49 of typhus . Smallpox continues to exhibit much less than the usual amount of fatality ; most of the other complaints mentioned are near the average ; typhus a little exceeds it .
It deserves to he noticed that on the 13 th , 18 th , and 23 rd of October three infants , in different houses , were found dead in bed , or died suddenly in bed , all of them the children of single women . The births of 093 boys and 669 girls , in all 1362 children , were registered in the week . The average derived from the returns of corresponding weeks in five years ( 1845 9 ) is 1320 .

( From the Quarterly Return of the Registrar-General . ) This return comprises the births and deaths registered by 2189 registrars in all the districts of England during the summer quarter ending September 30 , 1850 ; and the marriages in more than 12 , 000 churches or chapels , 2869 registered places of worship unconnected with the Established Church , and 623 superintendent registrars' offices in the quarter that ended June 30 , 1850 . Maiuua . ges . —The marriages in all England in the quarter ending June 30 , 1850 , were 39 , 018 . The numbers in the spring quarter declined rapidly from 1846 to 1848 , and rose still more rapidly up to 1850 ; thus following and portraying the state of the country .
Births . —146 , 970 births were registered in the quarter which ended in September . The births are invariably more numerous in the first and second than in the third and fourth quarters of the year , and they are in the last fewer by 8757 than in the previous ( June ) quarter ; the numberand the proportion of the yjopulation are , however , greater in this than in any of the corresponding quarters since 1839 . I n cue as e of Population . —The excess of births registered over deaths in the quarter Avas 60 , 920 ; which , if all the births were registered , would be the natural
increase of the population . In the same time 53 , / 03 emigrants sailed from three ports of England—1394 from Fly mouth , 7084 from London , and 44 , 625 from Liverpool . This leaves a narrow margin for the increase of population ; but many of the emigrants entered at the English ports are from Ireland , which has been for many years diffusing a stream of natives over England as well as America . The progress of the whole fixed and moving population of the country can only be determined accurately from a comparison of the returns of births and deaths , of emigrants and immigrants , with periodical enumerations .
Statk of the Puhlic Health . —The mortality is much below the average ; and the public health has never been so good since 1845 as in the present quarter . The rate of mortality is 1-901 per cent , per annum . At this rate one in 211 persons living died in three months . The chances of living through this quarter were 210 to 1 ; the average chances of living through three summer months ( 1839-50 ) , for persons of all ages , being 192 to 1 .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Satukday . This has been a week of considerable excitement on the Exchange . The market for English Funds has not , however , undergone any very great fluctuation . On Monday Consols were done at 97 £ , but the warlike news from the Continent on Tuesday caused a decline of threeeighths below the closing prices of the previous day . On Wednesday the market was rather firmer , and although the funds were" rather depressed yesterday morning , a reaction took place before the close of business , and Consols closed at 97 . In consequence of the transfer offices at the Bank being shut , this day is kept as a close holiday at . the Stnek Exchange .
The entire range o ! fluctuations this week has been : — Consols , 97 i to ( Hi : ;; Hank Stock , 211 to 2124 ; Threcand-a-Quartcr per CYuts ., 97 $ to 98 j ; Exchequer Uills , G 5 s . to G 8 s . pm .

Since Monday foreign supplies have been very fair of Wheat . Barley , and Oats , and large of Peas . There
is no difference to note in the value of any of the former descriptions of Corn , which are all held at Monday s prices , the trade exhibiting rather encreased firmness . Beans are rather giving way in price , and Peas are quite a drug . The Northern Continental Markets are still too high to admit of importations bearing a profit .
