      HEALTH OF LONDON WRING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) The return for the week ending last Saturday exhibits a considerable encrease on the mortality of previous weeks In the first three weeks of October the deaths registered were successively 839 , 860 , and 845 ; in the last week they rose to 945 . In the ten corresponding weeks of 1810-9 they fluctuated between 813 and 1115 , and were on ihe average 959 . But this average , if allowance be made for supposed encrease of population , becomes 1046 ; on which the present return shows a decrease of 101 . The encrease of fever has been already remarked , and the observation is still borne out by the number of fatal cases under this head ; the deaths from

      fever , which in the two previous bills were 54 ; and 49 , rose last week to 65 . Scarlatina also appears to make gome progress ; it was fatal in 41 cases , and seems to prevail in some parts of Walworth and Camberwell . Last week smallpox carried off 7 children and 2 adults ; measles , 21 children ; hooping-cough , 20 , and croup , 8 . Erysipelas numbers 7 fatal cases ; and of 10 women who died after childbearing 7 sank under puerperal fever . The further decline of diarrhoea and dysentery is shown by the deaths from those complaints in the last three weeks , in which the numbers have been successively 37 ) 30 , and 22 , which last is about the average of ten

      corresponding weeks . Last week 3 deaths from cholera were returned , but none of the cases had assumed the rnalignant form of the disease . Diseases of the respiratory organs discover a smal encrease of mortality—a fact which may be viewed in connection with a fall of the weekly mean temperature from about 50 dear , in the earlier part of October to 42 deg . towards the end of the month . The encrease is observed ia pneumonia ( or inflammation of the lungs ) amongst children , and also in bronchitis amongst aged people . Ten "Weeks Week

      ^ MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Satuhday . Tho encrensing belief that , notwithstanding their vast military preparations , the German states have still sufficient prudi'iice not to plunge into war , has caused an improved firmness in the English funds since last Saturday , From 97 , which was the opening price on that day , Consols havo grndunlly advanced to 97 $ , and at one timo yesterday they even touched 97 J . But for the dubious nature of the intelligence from Germany , they would probably have gone higher than that . This morning the prevailing impression was , that peace would be maintained , a > id , therefore , the ninrkrt opened firmer than it whs yesterday afternoon . Subsequently , however , a reaction took plucc , and Consols closed at 973 to 97 . } .

      The fluctuations during the week have boon to the following extent : —Consols , 97 to 97 § ; Threo-and a Qunrter pnr Conts ., 08 J to 9 S . J ; Bank Stock , 212 .
