MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Saturday . There has been no very great variation in the market for Public Securities this week . Upon the whole a slight advance has taken place since Monday in the English funds , but the average prices of the week are much the same as those we have been reporting for the last month or two . The chief difference between last week and the present one is that Consols declined slightly towards Saturday last , whereas they have risen a little towards the end of this week . On Monday the opening price was 96 £ to 96 J , and on the following day they closed with an improvement of one eighth . Wednesday being settling day , and a supply of money having been brought into the market at 1 $ per cent , for a week , the dealers were enabled to carry over their accounts without difficulty . Prices , therefore , experienced an advance . Consols for money opened at 96 J to g , and closed at 96 § to 97 , being a rise of a quarter per cent , on the previous day ' s quotation . On Thursday , with the exception of a slight temporary depression , the English funds were steady at the improved prices of Wednesday . Consols opened at 96 $ to 97 , and left off at that price . Yesterday they opened at 97 i to 97 , and closed at 96 J to 96 £ . The variations in the price of English stocks generally this week have been : —Consols , 964 to 97 4 » Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents ., 98 £ to 99 ; Bank Stock , 211 to 212 ; Exchequer Bills , 66 s . to 70 s . premium . The Foreign funds have not presented any remarkable feature during the week . A slight decline in Spanish stock took place on Monday , in consequence of the announcement relative to the accouchement of the Queen of Spain . At the latest dates the business in the official list comprised : — Buenos Ayres , for account , 55 |; Mexican , for money , 29 g ; for the account , 30 and 30 J ; Peruvian , for account , 81 ± and 82 ; the Deferred , 35 ± ; Russian , 111 J ; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents ., 96 i and |; Spanish Three per Cents ., for account , 37 ± and & ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents , 57 i ; and the Four per Cent . Certificates , 88 § , 89 £ , 89 * , and 88 J . The accounts of the state of trade from the manufacturing districts still continue to be of a satisfactory character .

Greenwich-park . — According to a recent return the annual amount expended for the maintenance of Green ¦ wich-park for the last five years has ranged from £ 79 ( 1845-46 ) to £ 1279 ( 1848 49 ) . The expenses last year amounted to £ 1045 . These expenses are paid out of the land revenues of the Crown . Income and Expenditure op Greenwich Hos PITAL The total revenue of Greenwich Hospital for the year 1849 was . £ 148 , 731 6 s . 5 d ., and the expenditure £ 146 957 18 s . 2 d ., leaving a surplus of £ 1773 8 s . 2 d . The revenue is made up in the following manner : —Net produce of estates in Northumberland , Cumberland , and Durham , £ 29 , 219 ; ditto of estates in Greenwich , £ 2531 ; interest on vested property , £ 82 , 491 ; grant from the Consolidated Fund in lieu of merchant seamen ' s sixpences , £ 20 , 000 ; freightage on treasure , £ 10 , 406 . Th £ principal items of expenditure may be thus described : —Household and contingent expenses , comprising the maintenance and clothing of 2710 pensioners and 97 nurses , salaries , allowances , £ 112 , 375 ; paid on account of schools , £ 18 , 683 ; purchase of ground to keep the river frontage opposite clear from unsightl y buildings or manufactories affecting the health of the inmates of the hospital , £ 12 , 890 . Metropolitan Mortality . —From an interesting and elaborate statistical table , showing the births and deaths for the first half of the present year , just published in the Medical Times , it appears that the total number of births from the weeks ending January 5 to June 29 amounted to 19 , 083 males and 19 , 292 females , being an increase of females over males of 209 ; whereas during the same period last year the births of males were 19 , 377 , and of females , 18 , 392 , being , on the contrary , an increase of mal ^ s over females of 985 . From the same return , the number of deaths from all sources during the above period was 12 , 317 males , and 12 , 140 females ; from January to June last year the numbers were 14 , 408 males , and 14 , 038 females . The total births , therefore , during the past six months amounted to 38 , 375 ; the total deaths to 24 , 457 , being an increase of births over deaths of 13 , 918 . The Military Force in Ireland in July . —The following is the official return of the present military force in Ireland : —Cavalry . —1 st regiment of Dragoon Guards , Dublin ; 5 th ditto , 6 th ditto , Cahir ; 7 th ditto , Newbridge ; 4 th regiment Light Dragoons , Dublin ; 6 ch Enniskillen , Dundalk ; 7 th Hussars , Ballincollig ; 12 th Lancers , Dublin ; 17 th Lancers , ditto .

- 6 - ther proof that up to this period there is no striking development of the disease , it is sufficient to state that in the same week of 1846 the deaths from diarrhoea » were 87 ; in that of 1847 , 32 ; in 1848 , 64 ; and in 1849 , I 89 . Last week 7 persons , of whom 3 were children , were 3 registered , -who had died of cholera ; but in most of the r cases it appears to have been the common English epi-? demic , and it is not stated in any case that the disease had assumed the malignant form . The births during the week were 1299 . ___

The effective force , including the Royal Artillery , Horse and Foot , and Sappers and Miners , is 26 , 450 men . Besides these are the enrolled battalions of pensioners and the police , about 15 , 000 men . The French Customs . — The Moniteur publishes a comparative statement of the Customs' returns for 1847 , 1848 , and 1849 . The imposts in 1849 were 1142 millions j in 1848 they were only 861 millions ; but , in 1847 , they had reached 1342 . The year 1849 , therefore , shows an advance of 281 millions on 1848 , and a decrease of 200 millons as compared with 1847 . Out of the 1142 millions of 1849 , 400 millions were imported in French vessels , and 349 millions in foreign bottoms . In 1847 the proportion was different , 447 millions coming in French , and 512 millions in foreign bottoms . The exports in 1847 were 1270 millions ; in 1848 , 1153 millions ; and 1849 , 1422 millions ; the difference in favour of 1849 being 269 millions over 1848 , and 152 millions over 1847 . The French shipping has equally gained on the export trade . In 1848 it carried 539 millions , and foreign shipping 545 millions ; in 1847 the amount by the latter was 530 millions , against 433 millions by the former . Maintenance op the Poor in Ireland . —The total population of the 139 Irish unions in 1841 was 8 , 175 , 124 . The cost of in-door relief during the half-year ending the 30 th of March last was £ 291 , 749 ; on outdoor , £ 66 , 085 ; making a total of £ 357 , 834 . The cost for the corresponding period of 1849 was £ 620 , 511 , viz ., in-door relief , £ 336 , 046 ; out-door , £ 284 , 465 . The decrease in the half-year ending 31 st March , 1850 , as compared with the half-year ending 31 st March , 1849 , was £ 262 , 677 , or rather more than 42 per cent . HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Returns . ) In the week ending last Saturday the deaths registered in the metropolitan districts were 781 ; whereas the avrrnire derived from 10 corresponding weeks of 1840 9 i « 880 , or augmented in the ratio of increase of population , 007 . Compared with this latter number , the deaths of lust week exhibit a decrease of 180 . Taking the 10 works of picvious years , namely , the 28 th of each year , it appears that the lowest number occurred in 1843 , and -was 757 , while the highest occurred in 1841 ) , and was 1309 , when cholera was making considerable progress . The deaths caused by discuses of the zymotic or epidemic class wore last week only 108 ; in the corresponding week- of 1845-8 they fluctuatrd between 107 and 319 , and in the mime week of last yenr lose to ( W 0 .
