HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) The encrcase of mortality , noticed in the previous ¦ week , is still apparpnt to nearly the same extent in the week ending last Saturday . The deaths registered in the metropolitan districts , which , in the two preceding weeks , were respectively 845 and 945 , numbered last week 921 . In the corresponding weeks of the ten years 1840-9 the average was 963 , which , if raised in the ratio of supposed encrease of population , becomes 1051 , and shows a difference in favour of last week to the amount of 130 . The mortality from pneumonia ( or inflammation of the lungs ) and asthma nearly equals the average , while that from bronchitis exceeds it ; and though the deaths from all diseases are diminished , as compared with last week ' s return , those from that class of complaints of which the above are the most important have
encreased ; for , in the preceding week , the deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs were 138—last week they were 171 . But it will be seen that phthisis ( or consumption ) , which has this year been less fatal than usual , is not included in this observation ; for , while in the previous week it was fatal in 112 cases , last week there were only 93—a considerably less number than in any of the 10 corresponding weeks in 1840—9 , when they ranged between 107 and 138 . The present time seems to be unfavourable to the health of the aped , but more propitious to the young . Eleven children died of smallpox , besides a man who had nearly attained the age of 60 ; 22 of measles , 23 of hooping-cough , 33 of scarlatina , and 7 of croup . Fever is now the epidemic which is rnost productive of fatal results ; last week 55 persons , of whom about a half were of middle age , were its victims . In connection with various deaths from fever , the registrars draw attention to local nuisances .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Saturday . This has been a \ ery exciting week in the English Stock Market , and yet the fluctuations have not been so grc . it as might have been apprehended . The news from Germany on Monday was decidedly warlike ; and , though there was no very definite intelligence of hostile proceedings having fairly commenced , the funds fell considerably . The first quotation of Consols , which had closed on Saturday at % 2 t « I for money , was 9 G | to < J , whence they receded to IKi i , at which price they were for a moment offered , and trom which there was only a very slight reaction , the closing quotation being DG & to j . Ou Tuesday the in irUct improved a little . Consols opened a shade higher ,
mid gradually improved towards the close , when they were . { per cent , better . Noxt day the improvement whs maintained , and prices even rose towards the afierij oon . The absence of any decidedly unfavourable ) inteli ^ riii'C from Germany , yesterday morning , and the uiival of hi ^ hvr qu otations from most of the continental narki t . s , caused the English funds to open with nil up-) t ainnce of nimh dimness at an advance of a quarter per rut . A reaction *| uvilily took place , however , in conseiu < net-of larue . saliswii provincial account , the . result of uhi * iiMDMniiUil on vein ij < t , i » f xhv intelligence refiunlii ; tlie I Invati n < "i win , Consuls , vvhiih ; ii aii early hour use . to U 7 , left oil' at 1 X 1 . J to !)(! . ; . The market was ninth nuer yesterday morning ; the closing prices were DUi .
In Continental securities a complete panic prevailed on Monday . Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents , in the early part of the day were 3 per cent ., and Mexican 1 £ per cent ., below the last prices of Saturday , but a partial recovery took place before the final close of the market . On Tuesday the market still continued depressed , and a further heavy fall took place . Dutch Stocks declined 2 per cent . ; Brazilian , 2 per cent . ; Russian Five per Cent . Bonds , 2 per cent . ; Belgian , 1 per cent . ; and Danish . 1 tier cent . A slierht rallv took nlace .
but still prices did not advance much . There was little business done yesterday .

The best qualities of Malting Barley bring rather over Monday ' s rates ; other descriptions sell readily at our recent quotations .
