      HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General's Report . ) The decrease in the deaths of London , which was announced in the last return , has been followed by an increase to the same extent , and the rate of mortality is again equal to that which prevailed during the first two weeks of January , The deaths , which in the previous ¦ we ek were 956 , have risen to 1041—a number which nearly coincides with the average ( namely , 1089 ) as derived from the returns of ten corresponding weeks in 1841-50 , but they are less by 114 than this average , if it be corrected on the assumption that population has increased at the same rate as it did between the censuses of 1831 and 1841 . In the epidemic class , small-pox was fatal to 16 children and three men , whose ages were between 20 and 35 ( the 19 deaths from this disease showing a decrease of 13 on the previous week ) . Out of the whole number of cases in which small-pox was fatal , it is stated that only in 3 had vaccination been performed . The births of 773 boys and 764 girls , in all 1537 children , were registered in the week . The average number of six corresponding weeks of 1845-50 was 1395 .

      ( 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 autumn quarter ending December 31 , 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 September 30 , 1850 . Marriages . —The marriages celebrated in the summer quarter ending September 30 were 37 , 490 , or more by 10 , 000 than were registered in the summer quarter of 1842 ; and 2400 more than have been returned in the summer quarter of any previous years . Allowing for increase of population , the proportion of marriages is greater than it has been in the same season of any year since the registration commenced . Births . —The births in the quarter following , which ended on December 31 , 1850 , were also the greatest number ever registered in the autumn quarters of any previous year . 146 , 268 children were born in the three months . The births are in general most numerous in the spring quarter , and were so in the spring of 1850 . They have since greatly exceeded the numbers registered in previous years in all the divisions of the kingdom , whether agricultural or manufacturing , in counties ravaged by cholera , and in counties left unscathed b y that plague . Increase op Population . —The excess of births reg istered over deaths in the quarter is 54 , 245 . The usual excess is 40 , 000 more births than deaths ; the excess in the last quarter of 1845 was 50 , 000 ; in 1847 , when influenza was epidemic , only 24 , 000 ; in 1849 , when the cholera epidemic was rapidly declining , 38 , 000 . In the last quarter of the year 1850 , 56 , 971 emigrants left the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are Government emigration officers ; . ' 5830 departed from Irish ports 1903 from Glasgow and Greenock , and 51 , 232 from three English ports—namely , 1702 from Plymouth , 4282 from London , and 4 / 5 , 248 from Liverpool . During the whole of the year 1850 the births were 1593 , 667 , the deaths 369 , 679 , and consequently the excess of births over deaths wan 223 , 888 in England . The name year 280 , 843 emigrants sailed from the shores of the United Kingdom—214 , 606 ( many of them of Irish birth ) from England 16 , 154 from Scotland , and 51 , 083 from Ireland . ' Stath oi- Tim Puiii . ic IlKAi / m . —That the health of the country ie in a state not so unsatisfactory as it has been In evident from the reduced mortality . <) 2 0 ' ^ , 'i deaths were registered : and allowing for the probable increase of population , the rato of mortality is lower than it has been in any of the last quarters of the yearn 1839-50 , except 1846 . The rate baa been such that 1 in 197 of the population died in the quarter . The chances were 190 to 1 in thin quarter that a person would live through the three months ; the average chance of living through the three months in Kngland is 184 to 1 la every division of England the mortality has declined and been lower than in the corresponding quartern of 1840 , 1847 , mill 1849 . Lancashire and Cheshire present the greatest fluctuation !* . The comparativel y good health of sever-il districts is ascribed by tho registrars to the employment 11 ml the improved condition of the people . Taiuh iSffAKU . —A lad whom 1 knew kept a common snake in London , which he had rendered . so tame that it was quite at ease with him and very fond of itn master . When taken out . of its box it would creep up bin sleeve come out ut the lop , wimi itself caressingly about his ruck and face , and when tired retire to sleep in hia bosom . —From Fmmir for February ,

      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Saturday . This has been another dull week in the market for the English Funds . On Monday there was a decline of J in the price of Consols , but since then prices have been without much variation . The closing prices yesterday were 964 to 96 | . Yesterday the market opened firm at the same prices , but again became flat , and closed at 96 | to 964 . The fluctuations during the week have been limited , except in the Exchequer-Bill Market , which was rather depressed on Thursday for a short time , owing to the presence of some sellers . Consols , 96 | to 96 |; Bank Stock , 214 to 215 ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents ., 98 | to 99 ; Exchequer Bills , 54 s . to 61 s . premium . The market for Foreign Securities was well supported in the beginning of the week , and Spanish and Mexican stock showed a slight tendency to advance . The bargains in the official list yesterday , comprised the following : —Brazilian at 92 and 914 ; Danish Five per Cents ., 103 ; Ecuador , 3 f and |; Peruvian , 804 and 81 ; the Deferred , 36 J and 4 ; Portuguese Four per Cents ., 33 | and 4 ex div . ; Russian Five per Cents ., 113 ^; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents ., 97 | i |; Spanish Five per Cents ., 18 |; the Three per Cents ., 38 |; Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents , 92 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents ., 58 | , 3 , and £ ; and the Four per Cent . Certificates , 91 § and § . Mark-lane , Friday , Feb . 7 . The supplies of Wheat this week are only moderate , but the large quantity which arrived last week continues to press heavily on the market . For Wheat on the spot prices are drooping , but floating cargoes are held at former rates , at which not much business is doing . A large arrival of Foreign Barley renders it impossible to effect sales without submitting to a decline of 6 d . a quarter . This , however , holders are unwilling to do until the lay days of the vessels have expired ; so that we cannot quote the trade generally cheaper . The supplies of Oats are fully equal to the demand , and Monday ' s prices are with difficulty supported . Arrivals from Feb . 3 to Feb . 7 : — English . Irish . Foreign . Flour .
