HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY.
THAMES EMBANKMENT.
Before the business upon the paper commenced, a dim
cussion arose, in which Sir J. SHELLEY made a statement,
the offset of which was that a resolution of the 'Thames
Embankment Committee had been taken away by the
chairman, instead of being left with the committee clerk,
and altered in its terms. This charge was met by Mr.
COWPER with an explanation, in which, with some warmth
he accused Sir 3. Shelley of giving an erroneous colouring
to the facts.
On the order for going into committee upon the Thames
Bmbankment Bill,
Sir W. JOLLIFFE complained of the imputations un-
justly cast upon the select committee, and justified the con-
clusion at which they had arrived, explaining the grounds
of their decision.
Mr. DOULTON moved, as an amendment, " That the
bill be recommitted to the former committee; and that it
be an instruction to the committee on the bill to make pro-
vision therein for the construction of a continuous line of
roadway from Blackfriars to Westminster-bridge." He
gave a history of this question of a roadway, and showed
that the committee of 1860 and the royal commission were
in favour of a roadway continuous from Blackfriars to
Westminster-bridge, to which the plan of the committee of
1862 was directly opposed, and he thought it was apparent
that private interests were not altogether excluded from the
consideration of the committee. He balanced the testi-
mony in support of each of the twe plans in question, in-
sisting that the greater weight of the evidence, as well as
public convenience, was in favour of the continuous road-
way. Even Mr. Pennethorne had annexed a condition to
his plan, that Parliament-street must be widened.
Mr. K. SE YMER objected to a reference of the bill to a
second select committee, and, after condemning the man-
ner in which this question had been treated by the press,
-vindicated the conduct of the committee. As a member of
it, he had been guided entirely by the evidence, and it was
only gradually that his had come to the conclusion that the
roadway had better stop at 'Whitehall-stairs. He was glad
that the question of private interests had been brought
under the notice of the commitee, as it placed the whole
case fairly before them.
Lord H. VANE likewise defended the committee, of
which he was also a member, and repelled the charge of
being influenced by a motive of " base subserviency," of
which they had been accused. He suggested various rea-
sons in favour of the decision of the committee.
Mr. TITE was of opinion that it was very much better
that the road should turn up obliquely at Whitehall-stairs
into Parliament-street (the block of buildings on the north
side being taken down) than that it should be carried
exactly to the foot of Westminster-bridge, the objections to
which proposal he explained.
Mr. LOCKE pointed out what he considered an incon-
sistency in the views of Mr. Tite. The bill contemplated
an embankment up to Westminster, and the only question
was whether that part of it from Whitehall-stairs to West-
minster should be a footpath or a road. The objections
offered to a road were in his opinion most futile. He cri-
ticised with some asperity the plan of Mr. Pennethorne,
who would confine the public, he said, to only one road,
whereas he preferred two roads. UI;ART,
Some observations were made by Mr. P. URQ

and
Sir J. SHELLEY, after denouncing in bitter terms the
attacks made upon a noble duke in relation co this ques
tion, said the committee had arrived at their decision dis-
tinctly upon public grounds—and, as a member of the
committee, he had never come to a conclusion which
upon mature consideration, he more believed to be right,
than the one adopted in favour of the althe evidencen of the
ne of Mr.
Pennethorne. He read portions of t
Mike of Buccleuch, and concurred with his Grace that no
Becessity or public convenience ca
the lled
house would not listen
for a roadway up to
Westminster-bridge. He hoped
to the proposition made by Mr. Doulton.
Mr, HO RSMAN observed that charges had been brought
against the Duke or Buccleuch of appearing before the
committee in opposition to the public interests, and ofover-
riding the committee, and the house was bound to inquire

n
veandfactrs ew
vindicateoafs the
them from the aspersions
of the °lls
with which they
had been attacked. In reviewing th
pro-
ject of an embankment, he took exception to the nomina-
tione
of the Royal Commission of 1861, and to the mode of
inquiry, contending that the coratnissioners had entered
upon it with a foregone
conchisiqn. He then examined
, the course taken by the
adverting Government upon the subject of
the eralntament, to the antagonism of different

departments, before the appointment of the select cot amit-
tee upon the bill, and justified the conduct of the C town
lessees in the inquiry, observing that it was not true tb at
they had put themselves voluntarily forward. In con.cl u-
sion, he appeal, 3d to the house in what respect the Duke of
Buccleach Lad committed any offence against the pub lie
interests. He had used no political influence ; he had ap-
peared before the' committee, like any humble petitioner,
asking only for justice. Yet a cry had been got up agi iinst
ducal influence, as if this had been a question of public
right against aristocrOic power, in order to inflame popular
prejudice and irritate ti„,e public mind against a nobleman
who, he believed, was an honour and an ornament to his
country.

Mr. COWPER declined to follow Mr, Horeman in his
personalities, or to discuss the character of the Duke of
Buccleuch, which was not the •question before .the house.
He entertained the utmost respect for the duke, who had
given evidence before the committee in a manner which
did him the highest credit; but he had not taken the course
in this transaction which he (Mr. Cowper) should have
taken. Ho then, in reply to Mr. Hyrsman, entered into
points of detail, and with respect to the continuous road, he
had, he said, high authority for saying that there was no
practical difficulty whatever.
Lord J. MANNERS expressed surprise at the injurious
observations upon the committee which had fallen from Mr.
Cowper, its chairman. He attributed all the confusion and '
embarrassment into which this question hal lapsed to the
course adopted by the Government, which was a hybrid
scheme of divided responsibility,
Lord PALME RS I ON said he hoped Mr, Doulton would
not press his amendment, which was not applicable to the
bill in its present stage. The question before the house
was a very simple one, yet the most complicated discus-
sions, personal disputes, and every possible topic had been
introduced to draw away the attention of the house. It
seemed to him that if the Thames was to be embanked from
Blackfriars to Westminster-bridge, to be paid by taxation
on the metropolis, the metropolis ought to have the benefit
of it. Nobody disputed that the embankment was a great
improvement, and the only question was whether there
should be a broad road or a footway; but let the house de-
termine as it would, a restriction would not and could not
be maintained. He had heard no real argument against
continuing the roadway to Westminster-bridge.
Mr. DOULTON withdrew his amendment, and the
house went into committee upon the bill, buf, on reaching
the Gth clause, the chairman was ordered to report pro-
gress.

...
The African Slave Treaty Bill, and the Pier and Har-
bour Orders Confirmation Bill were read a third time and
passed.

On the order for reading the Enclosure (No. 2) Bill a
third time,

Mr. PEA.COCKE moved the recommitment of the bill,
and upon a division this amendment was carried by 76 to

The Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill was recommitted, and a
clause was added on the motion of Sir R. PEEL.

Other bills were forwarded a stage, and, the remaining
business having been disposed of, the house adjourned at
25 minutes past two o'clock.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, JULY 3.
The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committ,e of Privy

State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a des, etch from her
Majesty's Minister at Washington, enclosing a copy of the
following circular addressed by Mr. Seward to the United
States Consuls, respecting the restrictions imposed upon
trade with certain ports in North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Louisiana :
Department of State, Washington, May 30, 1862.
SIR,—Referring to Circular Letter of this Department,
No. 12, dated May 12, transmitting the Proclamation of
the President relaxing the blockade of certain parts of the
United States, together with the regulations of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in regard to trade with the ports thus
opened by pro.
slamation, and prescribing p•ur (llies in the
premises, 1 have now to transmit for your further informa-
tion and guidance a4clitional instructions upon the same
subject.
The Secretary of the Tr.easury has communicated to this
department a copy of his lettor of the 20th inst. to collectors
of customs at ports the loy'al States, prohibiting the
shipment of certain articles, contrabond of var, to the ports
of Beaufort, in the State of North Carolina, Port Royal, in
the State of South Carolina, and New G.rleans, in the State
of Louisiana.
All vessels having on board the articles which are thus
indicated by the Secretary of the Treasury as contraband
will be refused clearances for the ports abovetuenti oncd, or
either of them.
These articles are the following :—Cannons, mortars,
fire-arms, pistols, bombs, grenades, fireiocks, flints, matches,
powder, saltpetre, balls, bullets, pikes, swords, sulpi'ur,
helmet or boarding caps, sword belts, saddles and bridlus
(always excepting the quantity of the said articles which
may be necessary for the defence of the ship end of those
who compose the crew), cartridge bag material, percussion
and other caps, clothing adapted for uniforms, resin, sail
cloth of all kinds, hemp and cordage, masts, ship timber,
tar and pitch, ardent spirits, military persons in the service
of the enemy, despatches of the enemy, and articles of like
character with those specially enumerated.
You are also informed that collectors of customs of the
United States have been also instructed to require bonds,
with sufficient sureties, conditioned for the faithful fulfil-
ment of all the conditions imposed by law or departmental
regulations from shippers of the following articles to the
ports opened, or to any other ports from which they may
easily be, and are probably intended to be re-shipped in aid
of the existing insurrection, namely :
Liquors of all kinds, coals, iron, lead, copper, tin, brass,
telegraphic instruments, wire, porous cups, platina, sul-
phuric acid, zinc, and all other telegraphic materials,
marine engines, screw propellers, paddle-wheels, cylinders,
cranks, shafts, boilers, tubes for boilers, fire-bars, and
every article or any other component part of an engine or
boiler, or any article whatever which is, can, or may become
applicable for the manufacture of marine machinery or for
the armour of vessels.
In accordance with the spirit of these instructions to col-
lectors of customs, by which stringent restrictions are im-
posed upon vessels of the United States, you are specially
instructed to refuse licenses to all vessels which, whatever
the ostensible destination, are believed by you, on satisfac-
tory grounds, to be intended for ports or places in posses-
sion or under control of insurgents against the United
States, or from whence there is imminent danger that the
goods. wares, or merchandise of whatever description laden
such vessels, will fall into possession or under the control
of such insurgents ; and in all cases where, in your judg-
ment, there is ground for apprehension that any goods,
wares, or merchandise shipped at your port, will be used, in
any way, for the aid of the insurgents or the insurrection,
or be transported to any place under insurrectionary con-
trol, and used to give aid or comfort to such insurgents.
In short, you are specially instructed to refuse every
application for a license for any vessel having on board as
part of her cargo any of the articles designated in either of
the lists furnished by the Secretary of the Treasury.
You will perceive that these lists have been prescribed
under the powers conferred by law on the Secretary of the
Treasury to regulate our domestic trade, and security by
bond is required from all American shippers of goods to
the designated ports against any abuse of the privilege, and
you will readily understand that foreign shippers cannot be
placed on a more favourable footing than American mer-
chants in the loyal ports of the United States.
I am, Sir, your o
Wbedient servant,
ILLIAM H. SEWARD.

MARKETS-THIS DAY.

MARK LANE.

There was a very small surply of English wheat on sale
in to-day's market. Buyers were very cautious in making
sales, but factors were aver:e to taking less money, conse-
quently, a considerable portion of the supply was leit un-
sold at the close of business.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat. The best
qualities were in moderate request, at late rates, otherwise
the trade ruled inactive on former terms.

Barley—owing to the limited supply on offer—was very
firm, and prices had an upward tendency.
Malt changed hands to a fair average extent, at full quo-
tations. _ _

For oats—the show of which, as regards foreign, was
moderately good—moved off steadily, at Monday's currency.
Beans and peas ruled firm, at fully previous rates. The
supply on offer was small.

Most kinds of flour were in moderate, but far from active,
request, on firmer terms.

A correspondent writes to the Bristol Times :—.
it A short time ago, at Langdale Chapel, a primitive ham-
jet (a morning's walk from where I am), the rotten old
Pulpit fell with the clergyman, Mr. Frazer, in it, just after
he had begun his sermon, from the text, 'Behold I come
quickly.' He fell on an elderly dame, who escaped won-
derfully. Mr. Frazer, as soon as he found his feet, congra-
tulated her on surviving such an adventure; but she
tartly refused his sympathy, saying, If I'd been kilt I,g_
been reet serrat (rightly served), for you'd threatened ye a
