THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—The accounts of his Lordship's health received in town this morning, from Turville Park, are favourable. His Lordship was stated, in answer to all inquiries at his residence in George-street, to be improving. BRUSSELS, Nov. 17.—The exportation ofcorn from Bavaria was prohibited on the 12th of this month.  MORTALITY IN THE MEmoroms.—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 live 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 hooptng•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 barns and scal&, and the rest from wounds and drowning. Of these 4 Iv, ra suicides, three of them women.  THAMES EMBANKMENT AND RAILWAY JUNCTION COMl' AN Y. —We are rejoiced to find that at length the subject of the embankment of the Thames is about to be taken up in lion fof which tntßm lrmx... 0n,.....1- .771:2.:43.. -..".....-Talllr... ~ v Fv0t.....1 I, C IDan k 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• novance of being blocked up by the crowded state of the 1 thoroughfare in Fleet-street or Cheapside, at a time, perhaps, when five minutes were of incalculable importance-1 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 proposed 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 portion 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 occurrence. The Earl of Lincoln, who, as Chief of the Royal Commissioners, has been addressed on the subject, appears favourably inclined to the project, and promises to obtain a meeting of the Commissioners early in the ensuing year, and - to make the construction of the projected railway the first matter fur 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 Company 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 underst od that no competing line will be presented to Parliament during the next session.
