TILE HAGUE, Nov. 17.--In our number of the 16th
October we published accounts from Surinam of the 2d of
September, respecting the sickness prevailing among the
European colonists. Accounts to the 11th of that month
have now been received by the Colonial Department, which
state that the number of the sick was happily diminished.
There were none at the port of Groningen, and few at the
establishment of Voorzorf. The number of those who had
died was 141. Great exertions were making to get the
houses at Groningen ready to receive the families from
Voorzorf.

A letter from Odessa of 24th October, says,—" Trade is very
brisk here, especially in corn, in consequence of the accounts
received from England and the northern ports. A great
number of ships is in the harbour to take in cargoes of corn,
chiefly for England, Belgium, and ports in the Mediterranean.
The prices of wheat are kept high by the holders. Polish
wheat, of the best quality, fetches from 22 to 28 roubles
(assignats); good, 18 to 21 per chetivert. Maize and rye are
scarce, and fetch 11 to 12 roubles; barley 9 to 9%; oats 8
to 9. Green peas are scarce, and in great request for Ant-
werp ; the price is 17 to 18 roubles.
TILE ILtouE, Nov. 17.—This day being the thirty-second
anniversary of the restoration of the independence of the
Netherlands, was Axed for uncovering the equestrian statue
of his Majesty the King, in honour of tile founder of our
liberty. The festive appearance, the numerous flags dis•
played on the public buildings and the private houses,
showed the interest the inhabitants took in the patriotic
ceremony ; and when, amidst the thunder of the artillery, and
the music of the national anthem, the covering was removed,
and his Majesty, with the Princes, at the head of the militia
and the troops of the garrison, passed round the stStue to pay
military honours, the countless number who had assembled,
notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, rent
the air with their acclamations; thus expressing their at-
tachment and respect to the King and tke Royal Family, and
their veneration for the memory of William of Orange, his
Majesty's august ancestor.
During the ceremony, and at the moment the statue was
uncovered, the Count de Niswerkerke, the author of this
fine work, had the honour to be complimented by his Ma-
jesty and all the Princes on the merit of this admirable
composition. This morning his Majesty sent to Count de
Niewerkerke the Cross of Commander of the Oaken Crown,
and Knight of the same order.
BERLIN, Nov. 13.—A new law respecting railways is
shortly expected, by which it is to be enacted that, hence-
forth, no director of a railroad shall make further calls till

they have proved to the Government Commissioner that the
money already paid has been properly applied.
Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Prince and Prin-
cess of Orange are going to Stuttgard, to be present at the
marriage of the Princess Catherine of Wirtemburg to Prince
Louis of Wirtemburg.

PARLIAMENT—PRIVY COUNClL.—Yesterday Par.
liament was further prorogued from the 27th of the present
month until the 16th of December.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 17.—The exportation of corn from Bava•
ria was prohibited on the 12th of this month.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths
during the week ending Saturday, Nov. 15, was 941. There
is a considerable increase since the previous week under two
heads—diseases of the lungs and other organs of respiration,
and endemic and contagious diseases. The deaths from
bronchitis were 45, average for five autums 19 ; pneumonia
113, average 110 ; and consumption 115, average 139.
Measles still continue very fatal, the deaths for the last week
amounting to 88, while the average is only 31. The deaths
from pooping-cough are also considerably above the average.
Violent deaths 22, of which 10 were from fractures and con-
tusions, 4 from hanging and suffocation, 3 from burns and
scalds, and the rest from wounds and drowning. Of these
4 were suicides, three of them women.

THAMES EMBANKMENT AND RAILWAY JUNCTION COM-
PANY.—We are rejoiced to find that at length the subject of
the embankment of the Thames is about to be taken n? in
right earnest. The Thames Embankment and Railway Junc-
tion Company, of which the Earl of Devon is the Chairman,
proposes to embank the north shore of the river on the plan
proposed by the Royal Commissioners; and to connect with
such an embankment an atmospheric railway viaduct, of
ornamental construction, which is to be continued eastward
of Blackfriars-bridge to the terminus of the Blackwall
Railway, Fenchurch-street ; and also across the river
by a railway-bridge, or by one of the existing
bridges, to join the Greenwich, Croydon, Dover and
Brighton Railways. Not only will this plan, if
carried into effect• conduce greatly to the adornment of the
metropolis, and the health and comfort of the community,
but in a commercial point of view it will confer an immense
benefit on every man who, residing west of Temple-bar, has
business to transact in the City. Who has not felt the an-
noyance of being blocked up by the crowded state of the
thoroughfare in Fleet-street or Cheapside, at a time, per-
haps, when five minutes were of incalculable importance—
when loss of time was, in the strictest meaning of
the word, loss of money? This is an evil which
has hitherto been patiently endured, because it was
believed to be irremediable, but by means of the pro-
posed railway a safe and easy communication will be opened
by which in five minutes any business part of the City may
be reached from the West-end, and by thus diverting a por-
tion of the passenger traffic from Fleet-street and Cheapside,
those thoroughfares will be left more free than heretofore, and
the annoying " blockings up" will be of less frequent occur-
rence. The Earl of Lincoln, who, as Chief of the Royal Com-
missioners, has been addressed on the subject, appears favour-
ably inclined to the project, and promises to obtain
a meeting of ths Commissioners early in the
ensuing year, and to make the construction of the
projected railway the first matter for consideration.
His Lordship further assures the Company that, in his opinion,
the proceedings of the Commissioners will be closed in ample
time for any necessary proceedings in Parliament. The Com-
pany have also secured the co-operation and support of the
Central Terminus Company and of the Great Western and
Brentford Company. They have, therefore, determined to
apply to Parliament during the ensuing session, and with
every prospect of success, as it is understood that no compet-
ing line will be presented to Parliament during the next
session.
