The declared value of our exports for the month ending 5 th . of November was : — In 1850 £ 4 , 751 , S 04 In 1849 4 , 568 , 234 Balance in favour of 1850 .. £ 183 , 570 In the ten . months terminating on the same day the return was : — For 1850 £ 55 , 038 , 206 For 1 S 49 49 , 398 , 648 Excess £ 5 , 639 , 558 Compared with the year 1848 the return is still more striking , the exports for the corresponding ten months of that year having amounted to little more than £ 40 , 000 , 000 .

Foreign Trade Op France.—The Commercial ...
Foreign Trade op France . —The commercial reports which are annually published by the French Government , and which answer to our Board of Trade returns , have just been issued for 1849 , and give a complete view of the foreign trade of France in that year , as compared with the two preceding ones . From the figures thus furnished , it appears that the actual value of the imports for home consumption , and of the exports of French manufactures and produce , have been as follows : — IMPORTS . 1847 . 1848 . 1849 . Millions of Franca . *— ' " ^ Raw materials 543 .. 330 .. 154 Goods for consumption . .. 364 . 123 .. 141 Manufactured goods 49 .. 22 .. 29 ~ 956 475 324 EXPORTS . 1817 . 1848 . 1819 . Millions of Franca . Natural productions 191 .. 234 .. 292 Manufactured goods 529 .. 456 .. 646 ^ 720 690 938 Trade Returns . —The shipping returns of vessels employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the month ending the 5 th of November , show an encrease in the inward entries of 51 , 816 tons , beyond that of the same month in 1849 , and in the outward clearances for the same period a decrease of 4051 tons . The aggregate tonnage entered inwards for the ten months ending the 5 th of November exceeds thitt of the same period in 1819 by 32 , 472 tons , and the outward clearances for the same period exceed that of 1849 by 371 , 176 tons . The entries of coasting vessels inwards for the same periods show a decrease in the month , as compared with 1849 , of 35 , 639 tons ; and for the ten months an encrease of 470 , 084 tons . The clearances outwards show an encrease in the month of 9890 tons , and an encrease in the ten months of 570 , 584 tons .
Health Of London During The Week. (From ...
HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) The sudden encrease in the deaths of London , which was announced in the last bill of mortality , has been
followed by a more remarkable decrease . The following numbers show the fluctuations in the returns during the four weeks of November : —921 , 908 , 1016 , and in the week ending last Saturday , 861 . The average of the 10 weeks corresponding to last , in the years 1840-49 , was 1067 , which , if corrected for encrease of population , is 1164 ; the 861 deaths registered , last week are , therefore , less than the corrected average by 303 . It will be seen , from a statement of the deaths in three periods of life , that the young , the middle-aged , and persons of advanced years , now participate in an improved state of health : — Average of 10 Last week . corresponding ¦ weeks ( 1840-49 ) . From birth to 15 years .. 410 .... 503 15 years to 60 289 .... 344 60 and upwards 162 .... 21 S But , notwithstanding the great decrease in the present return as compared with that of the previous week , it appears that in the class of zymotic or epidemic diseases the number remains nearly the same . The aggregate of fatal cases by epidemics was in the preceding week 203 , in the last 196 ; whereas in affections of the respiratory organs , the number , which rose to 201 , has now fallen to 160 . Consumption , which stands in the tubercular class , was 111 , and in the following week declined to 96 . * ' Convulsions , " which carried off in the previous week 44 children , ivas recorded last week as the cause of death to 35 ; and -while 48 persons died of ' Age , " only 24 cases this -week are placed under this head . Between the 21 st and 28 th of November 8 pensioners died in the Royal Hospital , Greenwich , in most cases of paralysis or apoplexy . Last week the deaths from smallpox amounted to 14 , all among children ; and , though it is still below the average , the disease appears to be making progress in the metropolis . In Marylebone , in different houses of a single sub-district , that of Christchurch , no fewer than six deaths occurred from " variola , natural" in the week ; and the registrars repeatedly mention facts to prove that the children of the working classes , in many cases , are not protected against the disease owing to prejudice entertained against vaccination . Measles carried off last week 25 children , and it is stated to have broken out in the Pancras Workhouse ( Camden-town sub-district ) ; scarlatina carried off 30 ; and 47 persons of various ages died of typhus . Diarrhoea has now declined to 13 , and no case of cholera was registered . Intemperance was fatal to three persons ; in one case by producing disease , in another by an embrocation taken internally by a man when in a . state of intoxication . In the third case—that of a woman who died suddenly without medical attendant—it is stated " that she had frequently been known to drink a pint and a half of raw spirits in a day ; a day or two before her death she drank seven quarterns of rum ; whilst she did not consume a shilling ' s worth of food in the week .

Money Market And City Intelligence. Flil...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . FlilDAY . The news from Berlin of the probability of an immediate adjustment of the German differences , and the rise which had occurred on the Bourses where the statement had been received , caused the English fundfl to open on Monday morning at an advance of a half per c <> nt ., which was carried considerably further upon the arrival of greatly improved prices from Paris , Consols , which had opened at 974 , having closed at 97 | to 97 £ . This advance was maintained on luesday and Wednesday . Yesterday the market was firm , with a strong tendency to further improvement , checked , however , by doubts as to whether Gorman affairs are yet fairly settled . The first quotation of Consols yesterday morning was 974 to & and upon the receipt of higher
, prices from Paris they advanced to 077 . At the close ol business , however , they had again fallen to 97 i to J 7 | . The fluctuations of the week have been : —Consols , 97 A to 977 ; Hank Stock , 211 to 213 ; Three-and a-Quarter per Cents , 98 . 1 to 98 g ; Exchequer Bills , Cls . to OHs . premium . Owing to the adverse news from Berlin , this morning , Consols opened at a decline of one-eighth . The market for Foreign Securities has been rather better this week ; Mexioan especially have improved m price . There was not much doing yesterday , but prices were , on the whole , tolerably well maintained .
