w pAHLiAMENTARYELECTORa . -Areturnhas been made in a Parliamentary paper of the number of Parliamentary electors in Great Britain and Ireland ^ according ^ to the »«» ai « tration of 1848 and 1849 , and 1849 and 1850 . In r 8 f 8 49 the total number was 1 , 041 203 , whilst in 1849-50 Jne number was 1 , 050 , 187 , in the Umted Kingdom In England , on the present registration , the number of Totfs is 839 , 797 ; in Wales 48 , 019 ; and m Scotland 90 , 305—making the total of Great Britain 978 , 121 ; and in Ireland 72 , 066 , making the total m counties , cities , and boroughs , 1 , 050 , 187 . Kates and taxesdue by the 5 th of January last must be paid by the 20 th of July next to enable the parties to appear on the registry . Board of Trade Returns . The Board of Trade leturns for the month ending June 5 show a very great last
increase over those of the corresponding month year . The increase in the declared value of our exports , as compared with June last year , is £ 1 , 604 , 623 , being a larger increase than on any former occasion . This improvementis again distributed with remarkable uniformity throughout all departments of business , half the amount being independent of manufactures in cotton or wool , and consequently of the - rise in the staple of those markets . The aggregate value of our exports during the first five months of the present year has been £ 21 , 191 , 973 , showing an increase , as ' compared with the first five months of 1849 , of £ 4 , 835 , 975 . As compared also with the like period of 1848 , the increase is £ 7 , 083 , 304 . With regard to imports , the improvement which was noticed in the May returns is again observable , the consumption of most articles of food and luxury , except sugar ,
showing an e . Emigration fuom the United Kingdom . — The tenth general report of tbe Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners has been printed , and gives some interesting information connected with emigration from the United Kingdom . The emigration from the United Kingdom during the ten years ending the 31 st of December , 1846 , amounted to 856 , 392 persons , giving an average of 85 . G 39 emigrants a-year . During the years 1847 and 1848 , the number of emigrants was 258 , 270 and 248 , 089 respectively , being nearly double the largest number that had emigrated in any previous year . During the year 1849 the emigration had reached the f which
unprecedented number of 299 , 498 persons , o number 260 , 817 proceeded to North America : 219 , 450 ¦ went to the United States ; and 41 , 367 to British North America . The commissioners estimate that in 1849 , exclusive of cabin passengers , £ 1 , 743 , 500 was expended on emigration , of which only £ 228 , 300 was paid out of public funds , leaving more than £ 1 , 500 , 000 as the probable amount provided out of private or parochial funds . Importations op Specie . — According to returns which have been prepared , exhibiting the amount of specie and bullion which has been imported from foreign countries during the six months ending the 30 th of June by the various lines of Royal mail steamers arriving at
Southampton , it appears that the West India steamships during the first half of the present year have landed at Southampton gold and silver in bars , dust , and coin , to the value of 11 , 814 , 275 dollars , or say , £ 2 , 362 , 855 sterling . Of this amount the principal proportion was in silver , the quantity of gold being about 3 , 317 , 760 dollars , or £ 663 , 592 sterling . The greater part of which , or nearly £ 500 , 000 , was transmitted across the isthmus of Panama , where it was received , directly or indirectly , from California . Half a million sterling is , therefore , about the amount of Californian gold which may be estimated to have reached ^ this country during the past six months , the remainder
of the precious metals received at Southampton by the West India mail steamers being the produce of Chili , Peru , Bolivia , Central America , Mexico , &c . About 1 , 000 , 000 dollars in silver have been received from the west coast of Mexico , via Panama , being the first remittance from that part of the world , the produce of the mines having been generally collected on the coast by her Majesty ' s ships-of-war , and conveyed vid Cape Horn . It is anticipated that when the new route of the steamers is in operation , tbe whole of the silver will in future be transmitted to England by way of Panama . The amount brought during the past six . months as remittances for account of the Mexican
dividends is 451 , 865 dollars , or £ 90 , 373 sterling . As compured with the corresponding haif year of 1849 , the importations of bullion from the western hemisphere ¦ how an increase of 1 , 243 , 620 dollars , or £ 248 , 730 , thus proving that the flow of specie is unchecked and increasing . There is a slight falling oft' when compared with the last half year of 1849 , when the amount was 12 , 070 , 705 dollars , or £ 1 , 534 , 141 sterling , but there is every probability that during the next six months this amount will be considerably exceeded . From other pints of the world the receipts of the precious metals show a considerable falling off when compared with the corresponding periods , <> f former years . The Peninsular ami Oriental Company's steamers from Alexandria have brought only £ 50 , 732 sterling , against j 6498 , 591 ,
thus giving a decrease of £ 111 , 859 sterling . The principal muse of this appenrs to be the entire cessation of the large remittances mntle to England by the East India Conipuny from the Indian treasuries , and which are not likely to be resumed . The Constantinople steamers have brought gold and silver , value £ 370 , 533 sterling , against £ . "> ' 10 , 000 received from January to June inclusive in 1810 , and the Peninsular strainers from the Spanish and Portuguese ports have brought specie value £ 130 , 000 . The aggregate amount of the precious metals imported into Southampton from all quartern , for the six months ending the 30 th of June , including 50 , 000 dollars from the United States , is M , ( iU "> , < H > 0 dollars , or £ 2 , 939 , 120 nguiunt £ 3 , 37-, 721 in the corresponding period of 1819 , allowing a falling oil' iu the total receipts of £ 133 , 601 ,
caused by the lessened supplies from . Alexandria , Constantinople , and the Mediterranean . The specie imported into Southampton from all quarters during the six months ending the 31 st of December last amounted to 16 , 379 , 655 dollars , or £ 3 , 275 , 931 , an excess when compared with the half-year just ended of £ 336 , 811 sterling .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Saturday . The English Stock Market has been rather brisker during the present week than for some time previously . On Saturday Consols had not more than recovered from the slight depression reported on Friday , the closing prices being 964 to 96 | . There was not much business on Monday , but , under the influence of some speculative purchases , Consols advanced to 96 £ to 96 . $ . On Tuesday the English Funds opened at a slight decline , and remained without variation throughout the day . On Wednesday a rally took place , in consequence of large purchases by a leading broker , and the continued arrivals of specie . After having touched 96 | , Consols closed at 964 to 96 jj . This improvement was fully maintained on Thursday ; a large number of purchases were made , based upon the anticipated favourable appearance of the forthcoming revenue return , and prices closed at 96 § to 96 f . Yesterday the market was buoyant , and Consols closed at 96 $ to 97 . The variations in the price of Consols have been rather greater this week than usual ; in other stocks there has also been a wider variation . The range has been as follows : —Consols , 96 | to 97 ; Bank Stock , 2084 to 211 ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents ., 98 J to 99 ; Exchequer Bills , 67 s . to 70 s . The Foreign Stock Market has been firm during the week , and an increased business was transacted in stocks of a speculative description . The only remarkable advance in prices has been in Peruvian and Venezuela Bonds . In Peruvian the advance has been from 78 £ to 834 . The latest transactions comprised—Danish Three per Cents ., at 74 ; Ecuador , 3 $ ; Granada , 134 : Mexican , for account , 303 5 Peruvian , for account , 83 , 824 , i > and 4 ; the Deferred , 364 , i , 36 , and 364 ; Portuguese Five per Cents .

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WE EK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Returns . ) In the week ending last Saturday 965 deaths were registered in London . The increase on the return of the previous week , when only 775 deaths occurred , arises , not from an increased rate of mortality , but from an influx of cases which had been the subjects of coroners ' inquests at various periods in the last three months , but were not registered till the end of the quarter . The corrected average for 10 corresponding weeks in 1840-9 is 994 ; compared with which the deaths of last week exhibit a decrease of 29 . Ten persons , of whom 9 were children , died of small-pox , 17 of measles , 14 of scarlatina , 19 of hooping-cough , and 34 of typhus ; all of these epidemics showing much less than the usual mortality , except the last , which differs little from the average . But diarrhoea shows a considerable increase ; in the last three weeks the fatal cases have run thus—17 , 18 , and 33 . Two deaths from cholera were registered . On the 25 th of June , at 4 , Princes-street , Cripplegate , a porter , aged 38 years , died of " acute rheumatism ( 10 days ) , cholera ( 3 days ) . " The deceased had a severe attack of cholera in August last , and since that time his health has not been good . On the 28 th of June , at 23 , Windmill-row , the wife of a labourer , aged 54 years , died of " bilious cholera ( 45 hours ) . " The certificate adds that " there was no purging in this case . " Mr . Mears , the registrar , when cholera prevailed last year , described this row as in a filthy condition , and singularly adapted to generate disease . The mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 888 inches . The mean temperature was 64 . 2 degrees . It was more than 7 degrees above the average on the first four days , and it was below it during the remainder of the week .
