LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 3.

To those intelligent foreigners who now people
London and read the morning journals, it must
appear somewhat singular that the Thames Em-
bankment should have become the great subject of
the day. And even to many people who are
" natives, and to the manner born," the fierce
discussion which has arisen upon this question is
by no means explicable. On the one aide are
ranged Mr. COWPER, representing the Board of
Works, Sir JOBILPH PISTON, Sir MORTON PETO,
and the public ; on the other side are the Hon.
C. Goa; representing the Woods and Forests,
Mr. PENNITHORNZ, their architect, the Duke of
BUOCLEUCH and Mr. ROSEMAN, who are lessees
under the Crown, Mr. CRAWFORD, the member for
the City, and Sir JOHN SHELLEY, the member for
Westminster. Thus the Government seems to be
divided against itself, and the ordinary supporters
of Government assume the privilege of supporting
views which may prove not disagreeable to some
of their constituent'.

Meagre and inconclusive the Blue Book con-
taining the proceedings of the Select Committee
must be confessed to be. But a glance at the
Bill as amended by the Committee, and a moderate
acquaintance with the real motives of the wit-
nesses examined, are sufficient to furnish a satis-
factory explanation of the singular conclusion
at which they have arrived, and which is embodied
in the amended Bill. The or;ginal project was to
carry an embankment from Westminster to Lon-
don-bridge. This embankment was not only to
cover the mud-banks which were exposed at low
water, but under it was to pass the low-level
sewer, so as to avoid the interruption which would
have been caused by carrying it under the Strand
and Fleet-street. It was not long, however, before
the City powers succeeded in curtailing the design
so far as to stop the embankment at Blackfriars-
bridge, and thus that part of the embankment
which lies between Blackfriars-bridge and West-
minster-bridge became the main object of the Bill
which was referred to the Select Committee.
There was of course a good deal of opposition on
the part of those who had wharves abutting on
the river, but that opposition was overcome.
The only parties who remained were a few
powerful noblemen and gentlemen who re-
side between Whitehall-stairs and West-
minster, and who bold leases under the Crown.
If matters had been properly managed years ago
this opposition would not exist. The Duke of
Buccuccx, at least, would have been out of
the field. But the necessities of the Tory party
compelled Mr. Diluters' to acquiesce in the de-
mands of the Duke, his partisan, and to grant
the very land which should have been reserved for
the public. Since that time this Duke has built
a magnificent house. The plans, as the architect
told the Committee, were constructed upon the
principle that the frontage to the river should
continue. Reliance was no doubt placed upon
the Hon. C. Goals, as the conservator of Crown
property, that the question of the embankment in
front of his house had been set at rest for ever. It
is natural, therefore, that the Government De-
partment of the Woods and Forests and their
architect, Mr. PENNITHORNE, should appear
as vigorous opponents of Mr. COWPER'S
project, for if this scheme be carried it is
obvious that the snug arrangement in favour of
the Duke of BUCCLEUCH is in danger of being set
aside ; and the architectural effects contemplated
by the Duke's architect are in danger of being par-
tially destroyed. Something of the same feeling
seems to have influenced Mr. Tire. Originally he
was in favour of carrying the embankment up to
Westminster-bridge ; but finding the opposition
of the Crown lessees very serious, he determined
to conciliate the powerful opposition by a plan by
which the public thoroughfare was to leave the
river bank at Whitehall-stairs, and to join Par-
liament-street. This plan, it seems, Mr. Tirs not
unnaturally now continues to support. Sir JOHN
SHELLEY and Mr. CHLWYORD, in the interest of
the wharfingers, joined the opposition in hope of
throwing out the Bill altogether. As for Sir
WILLIAM JOLLIPFE, the Tory whip, and Mr. Has
SEYMER, it is not surprising that they should feel
anxious to side with so powerful a Tory ally as
the Duke of Boot-Lamm. Mr. HORSHAM is one of
the Crown lessees ; his garden looks pleasantly
upon the river ; the profane vulgar must not be
permitted to disturb this fair prospect, and there-
fore it is natural enough to find the right honour-
able gentleman one of the most determined oppo-
nents of the Embankment scheme.

To persons who have no interest in the matter,
it is difficult to understand the doubts of the
Committee. According to their view, as embodied
in the amended Bill, there is to be an embank-
ment right up to Westminster-bridge. Even Mr.
Ileasmas admits that this is an absolute necessity;
and, indeed, the Crown lessees have offered upon
certain terms to make this embankment, or, rather,
to pay an additional rent for the money to be
expended in its construction. The Bill distinctly
states that a terrace not less than 80 feet wide is
to be constructed from Whitehall-stairs to West-
minster-bridge, in front of the houses of the Duke
of Buccimucn, Mr. HORSMAN, and Viscount
Ganz. Moreover, there is to be a new street at
Whitehall-stairs, passing through Whitehall-yard,
and terminating at Whitehall, opposite the Horse
Guards. Now, if no restriction had been placed
upon the user of this new road, carriages, carts,
and passengers coming from the direction of
Charing-cross would have been able to pass
to the Embankment, and thus relieve the
overcrowded thoroughfare of Parliament-street ;
whilst on the other hand, the vehicles coming from
Lambeth, instead of going along Bridge-street to
the corner of Parliament-street,would have beeaable

to turn down the new Embankment at the corner of
Westminster-bridge, and thus to avoid the tremen-
dous jam at the corner of Bridge-skeet and Padk-
ment-street. It is said, indeed, by Mr. Hoe-
SAN and others, that the jam will be increased
by this new outlet at the corner of the bridge.
But in answer to this it is sufficient to observe that
Sir RICHARD MAYNE is of a different opinion.
The Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police
must know as much about the traffic of London
as most men, and he distinctly told the Com-
mittee that the embankment ought not only to
be carried to Westminster, but ought to be
open to all sorts of vehicles. At all events, it
is tolerably clear that the opening a street to all
vehicles does not necessitate its being so used. If
it is found that this part of the embankment is
inconvenient, people will continue the old road by
Bridge-street ; if, on the other hand, it be found
convenient, it will be used. Instead, however, of
following the obvious course of opening this part
of the embankment between Westminster-bridge
and Whitehall-stairs (which will certainly be made)
not only to passengers but to vehicles, the Commit-
tee have actually inserted a clause by which, after
providing that a road of 80 feet shall be made,
ita use is to be confined to foot passengers.
It is idle to discuss the difference between the ex-
pense of a roadway for carriages and a roadway
for passengers. It can amount to only a few
thousand pounds. The road, in short, must be
made, and the question remains—upon what pos-
sible ground are horses, carriages, aad carts to be
excluded from it t
