      HEALTH OF LONDON . { From the Registrar- General '« Return ) In the last three weeks the mortality of London has been high , and the return for the -vreek that ended last Saturday manifests a decided tendency to in- crease . The deaths , which in the last two weeks of April were respectively 1193 and 1211 , rose in the first week of May to 1263 . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1844-53 the average number was 951 , which if raised in proportion to increase of po- pulation becomes 1046 . Hence it appears that 217 persons died last week , above the number derived by . calculation from the experience of former seasons . The increase is-owing in part to a great depression of the mean temperature , which fell from 52 * 6 deg . in the third week of April to 43 0 deg . in the fourth . Though it lias subsequently risen to 48 * 9 deg ., the atmo 8 pherie changes , urMch these numbers represent , have effected human life to some extent , as will be seen by the , deaths in the last three weeks from diseases of the respiratory organs , which were sue- oessively 202 , 186 , and 226 . The average of last week in previous years was 167 . fersons who died of other diseases , would also suffer from the same cause . Last week the birth of 995 boys and 890 girls , hi 4 U 1885 children , were registered in London . In nine corresponding weeks of the years 1845-53 the average number was 1465 . At the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , ' the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 329 in . The highest reading was 29 . 58 in . at the beginning of the week . The mean temperature of the week Vas 48 . 9 deg ., which is 2 . 5 deg . below the average of this same week in 38 years . It was below the average on every day of the week . The highest temperature was 63 . 5 deg * , and occurred on Friday ; the lowest was 85 . 6 deg ., and occurred on Sunday . The mean dew-point temperature was 44 . 8 deg . ; and the difference between it and the mean temperature of the air was 4 . 1 deg . The wind blew generally from the south-west . Bain fell oh every day but Thursday , though the whole amount of the week did not exceed 0 . 40 in ., and of this more than the half fell oh Monday .

      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . ,. . . , Friday Evening , May 12 , 1864 . ^ onsolb , owing to the shortness of stock and the large Jloar party went up tho early part of the week , just before aottling-day to 83 * 5 . Tho Hank yesterday very unexpectedly raised thoir rate of discount to flvo and a half per cent . ; and this coming ; in tho midst of tho VJonsol Bottling transactions , caused much confusion in the house . Consols foil to 87 J i . and somo wore 87 fl I very wido quotations . A rally , however , took place . auc ( this morning they arc looking better .

      \ , ! ' ' I j ' i 1 distinctive feature—a rise and s corresponding fall -with Consols . French shares maintain' their former prices . The Bank of France threaten * to lower , their rate of discount to four percent ., which of course has improved the value of Rentes and shares . The Chancellor ' s statement on Monday night seems to be generally approved in the City . The imminent quarrel between the Bank and the Government would not perhaps be disagreeable to the mercantile community at large , tho Old Lady in Threadneedlestreet being somewhat inclined to be arbitrary and despotic in many respects , and tyrannises in her way over other people besides her unlucky clefts , who arc obliged to shave and dress themselves as she orders . There is a pretty widely-spread opinion that the "Chancellor" will have tocome upon the country for a loan before the session ia over , whether he like it or not . Consols , it is apprehended , may maintain their value until after the dividend ; that once over , with the war expenditure not slackening , and possible circumstances complicating matters , it is not easy to see how they can maintain their present value . Mining shares are much neglected . Poltimores have greatly fallen . Berdan ' s gold-crushing machine is always going wrong . "Wallers have excellent accounts from Virginia and Anglo-Californians ; Frias are dull and flat . Peninsulas continue to send ov « r ore , and the last shipment sold at W . per ton . Nothing doing in Rhenish or Jamaica mines . Quarz Bock , despite of most excellent accounts , are at * discount . Consols close at four o ' clock very firm at 88 , 88 } , with , an upward tendency .

FtoAXiiro Tkadb . —We have again to report extensive arrivals off the coast this week—saylO 8 cargoes in all , most of these consisting , as usual , of Wheat . The steadiness and healthy state of the Liverpool market , notwithstanding the late immense arrivals into that port , have had an influence on the trade here , and there has been muoh more disposition to purchase cargoes this week than for some time . The French markets are improving rather , and in many an advance of Is . has taken place . Indian Corn has been very quiet , but the trade is rather more encouraging . African Maize was offered in vain at 37 s . 6 d . at the oeginning of the week after a sale at 36 s . 6 d . Three cargoes have been since sold at rather over this price . A cargo or Egyptian Bold at 33 s ., but a fine one could not be purchased now under 35 s ., if even so low . * Egyptian Beans are held at 45 s . with no buyers at the price-Barley remains precisely as last noted .
