A PATIENT and long-suffering public will probably not be displeased to learn that a real, actual, prac tical beginning has at length been made in the great metropolitan work of embanking the northern aide of the Thames. A very long time since, a sort of feint was made by the sinking of a few miserable looking piles in groups of three, along • portion of the route, but these were merely very early pre liminaries, and had so long remained stationary and desolate that the promenaders on the bridges had at length ceased even to bestow a panting glance on them. Yesterday's proceedings were, however, of a very different character, and although they were only a beginning, and a small one, they constituted a movement of the right sort. The first of the great caissons which are to stud the river on its northern side between Westminster and Waterloo bridges, and within which the sea wall is to be made, was shipped yesterday morning in pieces from the factory at Deptford, on board several barges, and carried up to the immediate neighbour hood of the railway bridge at Charing-cross, where it is to be gunk, and within it the actual work of the embankment will forthwith be commenced. It was only very recently that the contract for the first portion of the works, namely those of the embankment between Westminster and Waterloo bridges, was "let out" to Mr. Furness, but it would appear that since then there has not been much to complain of on the wore of loss of time. About five of these great caissons, the first of which arrived at its destination yesterday, will have to he let down into the river, over the whole length of this portion of the work, and within each the building of these* wall will be executed. The mole of proceeding will be something as follows :—The foundation (within the caisson) will be scooped out by machines technically called "misers," connected by a long shaft with steam power working above the surface of the water. The diving-bell will then be brought into requisition to lay the concrete and put in the masonry, and when the caisson is full of solid work it will be taken off pieoenceel, and again sunk • little further on on the line. The same process will be carried on in the five minions simultaneously, and in this mannerasolid sea wall will be gradaslly erected throughout the whole distance. When this has been done, and the water has been permanently excluded, the work of excavation within the wall will commence ; and it will be heavy work, tearoom has to be made for two erections, both of great import•nes, and involving an immense amount of labour in their construction. Down deep in the concrete the great sewer which is to receive all the drainage of the north side of London is to be imbedded, and above it will be the " sub way" of the embankment, for the reception of the gas and water pipes of the district Within this space and towards the shore there will be a very large space still unappropriated, but the general impression is that it will ultimately be made avail able for a subterranean railway. The commence ment of the works at this period of the year, although attended as it must be by short days and broken weather, may on the whole be considered as being rather fortunate than otherwise, as it must give a great deal of employment to the labouring classes at a season when the other sources of out door metropolitan employ .nent are apt to be yeti much diminished. A long period has intervened between the time when Martin, the painter of " Belshazzar's Feast:" first sketched out his wondrous design for an embankment of the Thames, and the day when the first caisson was brought up the river from Deptford. During the interval artists of note and engineers of skill devised plan after plan, but without producing any practical result, lentil at last the Metropolitan Board of I I Works discovered that they could not carry out their great scheme of drainage without seriously disturbing the traffic of the Strand and its neigh. bourhood, and they determined upon embanking the Thames, in order that within the new work they might build their great main sewer, and thus avoid disturbing and suspending a great portion of the trade of Western London for an indefinite period• The work, which may be said practically to have commenced yesterday, will extend only from Westminster to Waterloo Midge ; the second portion of the embankment—namely, that lying between the latter bridge and Blackfriare--not having as yet been contracted for. It will, in fact, be a continua tion of the embankment which already runs along the river front of the Houses of Parliament, and the reader will, by recollecting that terrace, be able to foam an adequate idea as to the elevation and general appearance of the future esplanade. At Westminster there will be a new steamboat pier, harmonising in general design with the bridge, but the approach to the embankment (which at this point will be 100 feet wide, and four feet above high water) will be from the east side of Bridge street.. The embankment will thence run along the river, striking the first brick pier of the Charing cross Railway bridge and on to Waterloo, poising in its course at the rear of Ifontague House, of which the public will bare a lively recollection in consequence of the preposterous claim set up by its noble owner to "stop the way" of the entire i public to snit his own ideas of aristocratic man- 'ion, and the animated discussion, which the said THE EXPRFSS,` Tli FSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1863. claim gave rise to in Parliament. It was rumoured at the time that the matter was to be compromised by the purchase of the house for government purposes, but such is not the fact. His grace still retains his noble town mansion, and, as we are happy to add, improved, not injured, by the embankment. Montague House has at present a garden stretching a hundred feet down to the water, and to tbis will be added another hundred feet of reclaimed land, lying between the present garden wall and the proposed roadway. This space his grace proposes to plant with quick growing trees, so as in a very few years to interpose a sufficient screen between his premises and the pairing public. From Charing-cross-bridge the embankment will preserve its original breadth until it reaches Waterloo-bridge, the limit of the work with which we at present have to deal. Within this limit there is plenty to be done, provided the provisions of the act of parliament be faithfully I carried out. There is to be a main approach from, Westminster-bridge, which is 14 feet above the embankment, and from which the descent is to be at a gradient of one foot in 80. There is to be an approach from opposite the Horse Guards at White hall, by a roadway 80 feet wide, and a high level street from Whitehall-place to Wellington-street, from which there will be approaches at intervals to the embankment roadway, each with a gradient of lin 42. A very interesting feature of the design will be the laying out of the reclaimed land in front of the Whitehall and Charing-cross approaches in gardens, which, if they only look as well when finished as they now do in the coloured plans, will prove a very great metropolitan attraction. These gardens will be raised sixteen feet above the river side roadway, iu order to keep them on a level with the ground at the back, and, under them, facing the river, will be a handsome row of shops opening on the terrace. Independently, however, of the reclaimed land thus disposed of, there will be a great number of pet corners and nooks of large pecuniary value, and it will require great vigilance on the part of the public, whose money has paid for them, and to whom they properly belong, to prevent them being jobbed away or otherwise appropriated by private individuate. We have endeavoured to convey to the reader some idea of the extent and scope of that portion of the great Thames embankment, the construction of which may be said to have commenced yesterday by bringing the first of the great caissons to the ground. The placing of it, however, in its proper place will be a work of time and labour, and the same may be said of the other four, which are still in course of construction. The filling of each after. wards with concrete and masonry, the work to be done in great part under water, and the mov ing of each by its own length forward, ac cording as the work inside it has been com pleted, until the sea wall is finished from bridge to bridge, will exhaust a long period, not to reckon unexpected interruptions from accidents, the loccurrence of shifting &ands and a score of other contingencies, which must be expected in a work of this kind. However, patience, perseverance, and money win ultimately overcome all obstacles, and the public may expect to walk on this river-side promenade in about two years hence, and to have the whole embankment completed in about five years from the present date. The Metropolitan Board of Works have been a good deal grumbled at for the preliminary delays which have obstructed this great undertaking ; but there is a good deal to be said in their defence. Rome was not built in a day, and neither ought we to expect wouli be the Thames Embankment. The inexorable Mr. Gore, the official guardian of the foreshores of the Thames, drove a hard and tedious bargain, and made the commissioners pay 30,0C31. for his permission to wall in his territory. Then the Duchy of Cornwall had to be placated, and months were exhausted in negotiations with the custodians of its rights and interests. Preparatory to making the designs extensive borings were necessary, in order to find the substratum, and to fix the proper depth for the foundations ; and then came the making of the designs themselves, a work of great labour and magnitude, but which was completed by Mr. Bazalgette at Midsummer last. Finally, the Thames Conservancy and the Board of Trade had respectively a word to say to the Metropolitan Commissioners, and it was not until all these diffi culties, physical, scientific, and official, had been disposed of that this much abused body were able actually to commence operations. Now that they have really begun, the best thing to be done will be to let bygones be bygones on all sides, and to wish the great national work God speed. LATEST INTELLIGEI4(4 (ssurviee Turowts.) AMERICA. FRESH ADVANCE OF LEE'S ARMY. (Per the Africa.) NEW YORK, Om. 21, 1 P.M. (By Telegraph to Bt. John's.) Lee's infantry is reported to have crowed to the north side of the Rappahannock on Saturday, re pulsing Gregg's Federal cavalry with heavy lose. After a slight engagement with two Federal infantry brigades, the Confederates then passed forward to Beaton station, where they again attacked the Federal cavalry, with what result is not known. Lee occupies a line with his left resting near Beverley Ford, crossing the railroad near Beaton Station, and extending towards Stafford Court house. The object of this movement is unknown. The remainder of General Lonptreet's corps has reinforced General Bragg. Another Confederate incursion into Kentucky is reported.

Some of the ministers who naturally preach smooth things have dictated the following article to the Pays : There are those who seek to spread alarm about the Em peror's forthcoming speech just as if some thunderclap were at hand, and as if some veil which conceals the policy et France were about to be torn to the astonishment sad dir comfiture of Europe. We cannot admit that soak spree. hoodoos are founded. The Emperor does not speak merely on the occasion of the opening of the leer Wive session. Ilia idea u incessantly sposkieg and acting. It is never absent from an act of his government. Nothing is ever done—we will sot say aphid his wish— that would be to speak too absurdly—bat even without his will. We are well awl:* of the exeeptiocal authority of the Emperor's words. It it natural that these words should excite universal and respectful interest. But hie Majesty's speech at the opening of the session appease to us but the supreme expression of the policy followed by his m elon. We cannot understand how anyone can expect to find in the speech • condemnation or an abaecloutoest al the policy. The policy of the Emperor's goverwneet eta be nothing else than the policy of the Emperor. That is a tic* which moat strike aver/ mind. It is also well known that that policy is ever loyal and consistent. And how could it be loyal if it had deceived the country by preoeding manifestations! How could it be conatent if it were to be modified when the situation has not changed? Will it be pretended that the Emperor's policy as to arid. ing questions is not sufficiently known! We answer that it it obscure only for them who will not see. According to the Pays, therefore, be who runs may read already tho imperial speech, which you will have by telegraph almost twenty-four hours after the receipt of this letter. Some people reflecting upon the history of Napoleon 111. may remember that he loves surprises, and has over and over again complained of being misunderstood, and has put himself forward in the interesting situa tion of un homme incomprir. The Pays stands surety that nothing of the sort is to be appre hended this time. You will see. The Freese makes the following observations on the startling news of the semi-official journal, the Pays, that Marshal Forey has left Mexico for New York, with a mission : It is Workmate that the Pays madam dealt to this announcement. Why speak of a mission whet it is unable to vindkate either the object, the character, or the oppor tunity ? The Ina and most obvious Mamma:Wee of such Whoredom is that they open the door to all sods of cap *tares, sad, moreover, on such ground pessimists are demo the In* to gain t he oar of the public. Degouve Denunoques, a veteran liberal writer of Louis Philippe's time, who was an un successful opposition candidate at Arras at the last elections could not find any printer in that town who dared to print the protest against the return. which he desired to send to the Corps Legislatif. He has, however, now found one in Paris, and his petition will therefore challenge discussion at the same time with the eloquent one which has just been published by K Casimir Perier. I re commend to the consideration of the few people in England who believe with the Revue Coniemporaine that, after all, France enjoys as much real liberty as any other nation, this simple fact, of which instances are frequent—that printers, being entirely at the mercy of the government, continually refuse to lend their presses to the publication of mere formal documents when the writers are obnoxious to power. It has been rumoured for some time that the government meant to attack M. Eugene Pelletan's election for Paris, but the Prance now announces that after a fresh examination of the papers it has been thought advisable to withdraw the opposi tion. The great fact that all Paris has returned opposition deputies will therefore stand forth in undisputed glory. The Duke de Morny has returned to Paris, and is sufficiently recovered from his accident to take the chair at the opening of the session. • - The settlement at the Bourse was going off better than could have been expected, when news came that the Bank of England had raised its discount, and ultimately prices left off with scarcely any change from Saturday.

It was an action brought by the plaintiff spinet the defendant, mother sad administratim of a female with whom the plain tiff had cohabited, for the maintenance and the ex penses of the burial of her illegitimate child after her death. The action was tried before the Lord Chief Justice at Westminster, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 251. The plaintiff, it a had cohabited for some time with Xise ? lre i rp e le. As is frequent in such owes, the parties die. agreed and separated, mad the female some months afterwards died in a lying-in hospital, after giving birth to the child in question.

A rale was subseckneotly moved for sod obtained co the ground of miadirectioo, the action not being main tlinable in point of law. It was oonteeded that the puta tive father , if any one, was liable for the maintenance of an illegitimate i child. Mr. Serjeant Parry showed cause against the rule. He contended that if • mother was liable at common law during her lifetime to maintain her illegitimate child, surely her effects ought to be liable after her death. The Lord Chief Jurtioe said that did not appear to be the and if Dot, the law ought to be am ended. The Solicitor•Geoeral, in support of the rule, contended that the court had, in reference to this case, to consider what were the duties of an administrator, end by that rule decade the case.

Lord Chief Justice Erie said the court had appointed the following days:—For wore from the Queen's Bench, Thursday the 26th and Friday the 27th November ; for errors from the Commas Pleas, Saturday the 28th Novem ber and Monday the 30th ; and for errors from the Exche quer, Tuesday, Ist December, and Wednesday, 2nd Decem ber. His lordshipadded that with regard to the strove from the Exchequer the arrangement was coalitional, and was sub- Oct to ►oy alteration which might be necessary for the 'sten:eta of public justice. There warn one use (the rose of the Alexandra) which he believal would probably go to the Exchequer Chamber, which wee of very groat public im portance. If more time happesed to be required for that owe the court would be glad to give it, and also to make arrangemosts for having it heard before a full court. The Attorney-Clews-1 said it was t►e desire of both patties to take the use to the Exchequer Chamber, but MI the Lard Chief Baron has declined to sign a bill el ex osiptione raising the question involved in it, that might mot happen.

Tin AITOENZY•GENIRAL _V„ . emtnt.-71Ii OMOI Or TILE The Attorsey-General —Hy lord. I tame here to apply to your lordships not at present to go into any make whir will involve any lengthened drumlin or argunsest, but to give rna longer than the ordinary time appointed to r for the purpose of making, if it should boxer eveotaally user airy, a motion for • new trial in the ease of the " Atlonsey e General T. Sillim," which was triad Were your ' lordebip at the last sittings after WO, and remeerned the forfeiture of the ship Alexsadra. It will be in your lard ship s resolleetioo that your lordship on that ecarrie hid down the views which you thwart ought to govern the Jury as to the construction of the renege Balistreat Art. Your lordship did so is a ranger w►Mr we thought perfectly clear and intelligible to all persons. There was so difference whatever I• the noderstandieg of year lordship's riding on the put of the coeseel for the mar; sad we have so reason to suppose it was otherwise as impale the counsel for the defeadaals. or that it was pairally understood in any other sere than that in w►ie► we endeared it. At the end of the trial werpresesd a wish to la the umbel manner sad /err, enceptione to that Ming, end we were told that it was not rosemary at all to stand upon form. His Lordship said "I will boort any bill a exemptions you wish to radar," and roordingly after the verdict we wrote out the principal points which we understood he bad laid down ; but Isis lord ship said we were not to be boned by what pawed on that occasion, and that the matter could be easily settled. Of course we were in hope that there would ben° difficulty at all in oourseating to a bill of exceptions. The sass in. volved a point of very greet importance, most fit for exceptiose to be solemnly tendered for, in order that it might go to a court of error, sod if necestary to the last court of appeal. We are most maxims th►t the question should be so raised and determined, end we have no reason to doubt that the other side is equally so, b e t hitherto there have been difficulties in arriving at any form of exception which we can rely upon as M. thin to receive the signature of hie lordship. W e hope that these difficulties may be overcome. We are in communication with the counsel on the other side, who have in their possession the form of excep. tions we propose, and wets Oct that an agreement in writing may be arrived at with them ; or if th►t should not hap. pea, that his lordship, on being applied to at chambers in the naval manner, will be able to settle such a form of bill of exceptions as will raise the real question, to be deter mined in a way satisfactory to both parties and trade to the public. The Lord Chief Baron—l think it right to state that I see no prospect whatever of any change in the view I took so to my duty in deciding upon the bill of exceptions. A tart. spondee°e bas passed between me and the late Attorney. General, which probably you may have seen ; you were not present at the whole of the trial. So far from my laying down the law, as the toot exceptions tendered to me amennied, I took particular pains to avoid anything of the kind. I had originally dm ing that argument of Sir H. Caine oriclonbt. silly entertained an impression —I called it so more—that all the expressions in that act, "equipping," " fitting out," and so on, probably meant the same thing, sad were to be referred to the verbiage of an act of parliament, jest in the same way as the words "ship or vessel," whi c h are commonly need in statutes, and no doubt are intended to mean the same thing. Bat the late Attorney•Cleseral, in his address, referred to a cue of an Ametican court with an appeal to a superior court, where the decision below was saltine& It was new where the vessel was completely prepared in every respect with the exception of being armed. When I come to sum up, I mentioned that case to the jury, and commended it so far as to say I adopted it. I left it to them, and pointed out what bad apparently fallen from the mensal as to the law en the subject, not what I considered was the law. I then finally left the question to them in the alternative, using the very words of the act of palianteet. "U you think," I said, " this vessel was armed, or equipped, or • out, cc intended to be armed, or fitted out, or equipped, your verdict must be for the crown. If not it most be for the defendants." Now the Atteiner General presented to me a bill of exception. by which I wee mid to have told the jury that the yowl must be armed, and that if it was not armed then was no Miami. 1 not only did not tell the jury so, but if you reed the short head writer's notes, I think you will say so pence eau have any doubt that I left the =sties as I have just stated. Bat pro. bably./dr. Mammy the object you have in view may be attained by a motion without reference to a hill of ex. eeptiona. It is true no point was reserved at the trial so se to give you a right of appeal io the event of the rest of the court eensurring with me in the direction I gave to the jury. Bat th in is a matter of so much importance—l do not know whether I eaa pledge the whole court M this respect—bet eartaisly it would be •,: f 7 much to be lamented, however noeubsioes this court mi t be, if we did sot give you what we have the power of d ng—an appeal to • superior court. The Attereey-Genetal—l understand you have so power by act of parliament to give . as ap pea l unless there be a difference Of opinion 111M0111,001, The Lord Chief lialea—That is not so. The Attorney-General mid he had misunderstand his Messed friend Mr. Jones on that pant. The Lord Chief Baron—We have the power of greeting an appeal, end I mast say, as far as I sinconcerned—how ever UMSEiOIOIII and strong the court may be upon the point of law—if you wish as . appeal you will certainly have my voles in favour of greaten it. Mr. Baron Bramwell—l understand the difficulty to be that the Common Law Procedure Act does not apply to • num of this kind. Thy AttorneY:GeneralMr.Jones has carefully con. glassed the matter. and be is stroorly of opinion that the ad doss not meet the case. _ _ Mr. Heron Brunwell—You are apprehensive that the Lord Chief Baron will decline to sign the bill of exceptions in the foam in widen you have tendered it, end if you move for a new trial ea the ground that be directed the jury wrongly. and he reports that he did not so direct them, of mune we could ad grant a rule for • new trial udder those circum stances. That is the sort of difficulty in which you are pieced. The Attorney-General—We have merely in the bill of exemptions adopted the liters scripts which we have here. I am sot aware that even a leered judge is able to interpret his own words, in an applicatioe for • new bid, la a seam different from that which they really mean. Mr. Boma Bramwell—We ought not to doped from the ordinary practiced tiding the judge's interpretation of the woes in which be directed the jury. The Lord Chief Bess I will read the short hand writer's DOUR as to what I left to the jury. "The gonad is," I rid, "was there any intention in the pod of Liverpool or any other port that the ship should * in the length(' of the act of parliament, equipped, 6 out, or armed, with the object of taking part in any coated." I also said, "If you thick that the object was to equip, furnish, fit on. or arm that vend at liven pool, then there ie sufficient matter for your ociseidssation but if you think the object really was to build • vend in °iodine* to orders and in compliance with • oon tract, leaving it to those who bought it to make what we they thought fit of it, then it appears to me that the Foreign Enlistment Ad baa not in any degree bees brakes. I leave you to find that by your verdict." The Attorney-Geogralsaid his lordship stated, at the coa elusion of the trial, that he would not bind the Attorney- General to what passed on that coodoc, that he could not alter the thing thee, but that be had so doubt the leaned gentleman had • very second note of what he had said. His lordship did not contradict the eosin which his learned friend gave at that time of his direction to the jury. The Lord Chief Baron—The questioe, however, now is, what coulee can we takeconsiatent with the rules of the court. If you wish to move fora sew trial on the ground that the jory oneht mot to have found the verdict they did. the couort will entertain that applioatioa ; but if you mean to reserve to yourself the power of making a motion for a new trial on a point of law. having tendered a bill of exceptions containing that or some other point, I do sot think the wart would cement to that coat's. The Attorney-General—My application is now simply to have the tune for moving for • new trial enlargod, so that both sides may agree as to what your lordships said to the jury as to the interpretation of the statute. We believe that the jury returned a verdict upon your lord. ship's interpretation of the statute. The Lord Chief Bwoo—Nothing of the kind occurred. This Attoroey•General—Then both sides are under • mix aPprehensios, and it is their common wish to rate the int by • bill of exceptions if possible. We ask you to the time for moving beyond the four days ; and it en l a r ge meantime we do not get your lordship's a*mtnre to the bill of exceptions. I will move for • new trial. Mr. Barak Bramwell—We have no power wider the sot to "Mow more than friar days except by your snaking the motion for • new teal, and then adjourning it, bat that would not answer your purpose. The Attorney : Geeenil said this was the second day allowed for mos,ng, and by the fourth they would consider whether the cue could be brought under the Common Law Procedure Act. . . ..---... --- It was thee understood that the seas should be men• timed *Ton before the four days had expired.

The case had been adjourned for the bankrupt to make an offer to hie creditors end be now proposed, through he counsel, to Nee snide 301. a year out of hie earnings. Oo the part of the ere. diton it was urged that this was iesurlicient, the bankrupt's earnings being about 900 i. a year. His Honour said the sum set aside ought to bear a pro- portion to the Inch upt's earnings. The brat course would is for him to set aside one-fourth of his earnings, making a return of the amount every six months to the of cisl assignee. Mr. Denny pressed for a definite amount be named, and offer 3 401. a year. Mr. Hemp—That proves the large amount of his income, and he does not wish the reel amount to be known. (Laughter.) The bankrupt urged that his etgagementa were very un certain. Hie Meow said be should grant the discharge on the condition baked named—the bankrupt to make returns, and est ankle ewe-fourth of his actual imams. THZ POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.)
