Tea THAMES EISBARIODINT.—Yeeterday, on the re-
marsisbling of the committee, Yr. Horsman, was ex-
amined at considerable length. Wu one of the crown lessees.
and occupied premises in Richmond-terrace, by the site of
the proposed embankment. He objected to the constitution of
the committee. Parliament should have appointed, and
the public ought to have, an independent committee to
inquire into this question, whereas the chief commissioner
of works bad appointed members on the committee to con-
sider the bill who were known to entertain and to have ex-
pressed opinions favourable to an embankment. The tight
course would have been to have referred thebill,settoaset
committee, but to a committee such as those that sat upon
railways and other public improvements. The royal com-
missioners who had reported in favour of the embank-
ment were more or lees connected with goverameot depart-
ments. Approved of Mr. Penoetborne's plan in preference to
the others because it would net interfere with his property
or that of the Duke of 13aceleueb, and the other crown
lessens, but avoid it. Would not object to the embankment
being constructed from Whitehall-stain downwards, avoid.
ing the residences of the mown lessees, who would not pro-
bably mind paying a percentage on their rent towards the
cost of converting the reclaimed lands into addi-
tions to their gardens, and he conceive that if this were
dote, the public would have no more right to enter these
gaidetui than they would have into the bon. chairman's
drawing room without his permission. As one of the crown
homes he recommended noth* , but considered, as one of
the public, that the beet emi enkment should be adopted.
Viscount Gage, whose residence adjoins Sir Robert Peel's
in Whitehall-gardens, gave evidence against the proposed
interference with his privacy, and Mr. Otisworthy, sur-
veyor, deposed that the river view from his lordship's and
Mr. Horeman's residences would be obstructed by the em-
bankment. Mr. Calvert, Q.C., wee about to sane the
committee when the room was cleared, sad an the readmis-
sion of the public the Chairman said the commitlise would
decide as their course of prooseding this day.
