THE THAMES EMBANKMENT COMMISSION.

Yesterday the commissioners appointed to report
oo all pima for err.bsoking the Surrey or **ethers id& of
the river Themes met at the offices of the commisakm,
Voetoriestreet, Westminster ; the Right Hoe. the Loan
MATOU is the chair. Preerot : Major-I:eoeral Sir J. Jebb,
Castel& Halton, H. E., Commander Borstal, and Mr. H.

Kiripcote.
The commissicieen, who have about twenty plans befe
them from civil engineers end ethers, had two nailer coml.
deration during the sitting.
The first plan submitted and explained was that of Mr.
J. Carter, C.F.., who built the sea wall at Guernsey, and
other works in the calamine. He proposed an embankment
wall on a wild beau from Lambeth new bridge down to
Deptford, 100 feet wide, upon arches all along, and over
these • railway, consisting of • doubts line of /MIN
uniting with the various railways on the southern side of
the water, with tramways for the convenient interchange of
traffic between north rod south by means of the railway
bridges now being carried across the river. Combined with
the railway on either side he would have a roadway and
promenades on either side. Underneath the embankment,
which would be on • level with all the bridges, he would
have a continuous hoe of arches, 50feet wide, for the storage
of coals and merchandise. The estimated cost of the entire
structure between Lambeth and Deptford, about five miles,
would be 75,0001. per mils.
Mr. F. W. Shields, C.E., whose plan for the northern
embankment of the was specially recommended by
the oommimiosers in their report to parliament last merlon,
deposed that he did Dot propose an embankment to bo con.
strueted between Southwark and Westminster bridge; but
only • fixed line of river boundary corresponding with
the abutments of the bridvs, with a general line
of wharf frontage. Above Westminstsr.bridge he pro.
an embankment in • straight line to new Lam-
beth-bridge, d
Aridge, and extending considerably in shore, so
as to leave • large portion of reclaimed ground between the
river boundary and midis( wham., on which shops and
villa residences might he balk. From new Lambeth-bridge
the linibaskarst wield be esotioold by an ow curve to
the abutment of VasuihallAridge.
_hot he proposed for the
present to construct it for way half that distance, stopping
short of the pa works end ether premises. Along the river
aide of this embankment • road $0 feet wide would be
tarried, nod at Van:ball-row, adjoining Vauxhalldnidge,
cootimed and extended to meet it, so as to give a spacious
sad direct thoroughfare between the bridgos of W.:atona-
-1 ster and Vauxhall.
