GENERAL SIR DB LACY EVANS. _.__ A meeting of some of General Sir De Lacy Evans's friend' and former political supporters in Westminster, took platoon Monday evening, at Beaufort-buildings, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of welcoming and congratulating him on his return to Bog. land. There were present on the ooeasion Mr. Pront, Dr. Bainbridge, Mr. Pouneey, Mr. Joseph Parkes, Mr. °tens, Mr. Lebrun, Mr. Walker, Mr. Wright, Mr. George, and various others, representing the several parishes of West minster. An address embodying the sentiments of the meet leg was reed! by Mr. Pront, the chairman. It ountained a 'varmint the long, 'grime, and valuable services of the general, both u a soldier and a politician; and expressed a fervent hope that in a short time his health would be so far re•eetablished u to enable him to resume his parliamentary duties. The chairman stated that be had received a note from the general, is which be said that it was his intention, if pos sible, to be in town by the end of this week, and that he would most probably erosive the deputation on Monday. After an interesting discussion it was decided that a ima mate, should be appointed to make some verbal alterations in the address, and that those present should be again called together to form a deputation to wait upon the general on his arrival in London. COURT OF Yesterday a court, which was numerously attended, was held for the despatch of public busies. The first portion of the sitti■g was occupied by s lengthy motion of which Alderman Wilson had given notice, con demning Alderman Sidney, and imputing motives to him on account of a notice of motion which he gave in Novem ber loot, and in which the policy of Lord Aberdeen was cen sored. Alderman Wilson's motion found little favour with the members of the court. I I Alderman F aaaaa organ hoped that Alderman Wilson would withdraw his motiop, and that A. court would con uider that Alderman Sidney bad acted inadvertently in bringing a political subject before the court. Alderman COPILAND said that Alderman Sidney had a right to withdraw the motion, of which he had given notice, if he thought proper, and having done so, it was an act of discourtesy to him either to discuss its merits or to advert to it is his absence. Nothing was more censurable than to attack a mar in his absence, and he thought that Alderman Sidney war not well need is the debate that took plain in that court in reference to the withdrawal of his motion, and it ought to be a source of some consolation to him to know that whilst not only his brethren, but also the press cen sured him for the line he had taken, a few days afterwards the daily papers armored the minister of the crown In exactly the 1111010 way that the alderman had previously done Aker a few words from Aldermen WILSON, the motion was withdrawn. A report wearied on the state of the debtors in White erosastreet Prison by the governor. It appeared that on the 16th fast. there were 234 prisoners In confinement, of wheat 9 were women. rho total number committed in the eoaUs of the year was 1,932, being an increase of 220 on the preceding year. Doting the year 169 nrisoners have Mien aided by the prison charities et a cost of 9861.; 41 by the Craven-street Society, and 13 by grants from the lln claimed Fend belooging to the Insolvent Debtor's Court, coatis , a total of 223 debtors whose discharge has been oh taieed by charitable meatuses, in additioa to which the liberates of many prisoners has been effected by personal exertioa when the health of the parties has been bad, or muse popular idammestenee in the asses called for special interferearee. Tlmeguensor says:—" lem grateful at being able is report ant a Weer number of the inner.s have tbseithin of the privilege of working in the prison shop, and that the htereeled accommodations afforded by year heaserable e'en bag ben duly appreciated by then."

The deliberately expensed opinions of such men are more deserving the attention of oar rulers than the amide et political clubs or the interested representa tion, of intriguing aspirants to office. They proceed from theorise class which originated and carried to a encessdul issue the anti-corn law agitation. They show that the great body of the educated and re flecting middle classes is rousing itself for a crusade against administrative abuses. Mr. LINDSAY and Mr. Tuisza have touched more than one weak paint in the existing organisation of the Executive Government. Nepotism, a superfluous number of independent departments with virtually irre sponsible heads, and a superabundance of useless loos, are terrible impediments to the efficient transaction of business. But neither of these ger demon has ventured to raise the question—" To what is the persistence in such obvious abuses to be attributed P" And yet the cause is sufficiently ob vious. It is the exclusive selection of the Ministers at the head of departments from a limited class, trained is a superstitious faith in the traditionary routine of *See. The old system will be persevered in until we have an infusion of new men into the Cabinet, who will text the organisation of our Government offices by a comparison with the manner in which industrial offices are organised : and who will have the courage to reform oar Executive Government by adapting mercantile principles to the machinery by which its work is to be accomplished. An early opportunity will present itself of making an effort to attain this object. As soon as Parliament meets, Ministers will be called upon to render an account of the manner in which the war ' , has hitherto been conducted; to explain, if they can, the causes of the inadequate results which have flowed from an immensity of bustling affectation of industry; to declare frankly by what means they believe they will be able to bring the arduous con test to an early and satisfactory termination; to state what amount of money will be required; and to explain by what process they intend to raise it. There will be a time for enlarging upon each of these points hereafter. Bat there is one circumstance connected with them which claims early and immediate consideration. There is a growing *pinion out of doors that the voluntary seefessions which will be made regarding the past, and the involuntary indications which will be given respecting the future, in the course of these discussions, will establish beyond a doubt the neces sity of a reconstruction of the Ministry. It is not denied, even in official circles, that such a reconstruc don will be necessary. Now, no reconstruction which halts at a mere shifting of offices among the men of routine—the exchange of a used-up member of one hereditary political clique or coterie for an equally need-up member of another—can be of any avail. There must be an infusion of new men, un hackneyed in traditional forms, if any good is to some of the change. Our only chance for getting a stable, efficient Government, is in getting one that ears command the public confidence; and, in the present state of public opinion, no Government can gain that confidence except by adopting a course of action leading to satisfactory results. For the adoption of such a course of action an infusion of new men into the Administration is au indispensable pre requisite. It is not for a journalist to put candidates for such high offices in nomination; that is not our function That must be done by Parliament and the public voice. But it may be allowed us to illustrate by an example the kind of men we mean. There is Mr. LINDSAY, from whose speech at Newcastle we have just been quoting. Of this gentleman we know nothing except from some of his public appearances. But they indicate that he is a man who by sagacity, regular industry, and integrity, has made an influential position for himself. His writings and speeches show that he entertains enlightened, liberal, extensive views of com mercial policy. His remarks on the defects of our Government offices show that he has a clear perception of what obstructs public business, and that he is superior to that superstitious faith in the traditions of official routine which disenables men from reforming effectively our administrative abuses. They who have been brought into contact with Mr. LINDSAY in Parliament, or in general public business, can say whether he can act as well, as he talks plausibly. If he can, he is the kind of man that is wanted. He may not be; but there are among our middle classes massy such men--some in Parliament and some who ought to be there. It is recruits from this class that are wanted to improve the quality of our Administra tion. It is easy to see what will be the principal obstacle to such an arrangement. The portion of the present Government which, in respect of principle, could most easily amalgamate with such new men, is pre- cisely that one whose feelings are likely to be most repugnant to such an amalgamation. Of all our aristocracy, the moat sincere adherents of Liberal principles are the old Whig houses of the Revolution of 1688. But they are the most exclusive in their spirit of all the nobility; they stand in a great measure aloof even from the contact of the newer creations among the titled aristocracy. The expe rience of a century has proved that this exclusiveness of the Whip has done more than anything else to strengthen their Tory competitors for power, who have always been more prompt to adopt rising talent into their ranks. But the exigencies of the public service—the honour and security of the country—de mand, that oar aristocratic liberals should overcome this moves aristocratipue, and identify themselves more closely with the people by accepting men of the people as colleagues in office. Some impediment there may be found in the composition of the present House of Commons. Our annals con tain no record of a less trustworthy legislative body. But that may be helped by a dissolution; and we are by no means certain that a dissolution at the present crisis would not be the beat thing for the country. The enthusiasm about the war has shaken men out of their conventionalities, and rendered them unwontedly superior to mere selfish and sordid considerations. A Government appealing to the country at this moment, as embracing in its rank* an unprecedentedly large number of men of the people, and with a distinct satisfactory programme of foreign and domestic policy, might be pretty sure i of enthusiastic support. The possible—probable , gain is so great that :is well worth the hasard.-- Daily Nem. ... uATITAL PALACE, JAN. 16.—BNILLItta DAL— Adta[Woo at the doors, 872; admission by season thluPts, .24; total, 996.

Most 111111011111 would imagine that the smoke *laded to is that which a noble lord lately de aossee4 mr-sonspiriny with malt liquor to debase the morals of the labouring community, and which lessee froas the bowls of pipes and the ignited ends of " throve horrid cigars.* Ne such thing. The smoke meant is that which "so graoefully curled" from that cottage near which " the woodpecker" was heard " tapping " by the poet—which rolls tumultu ously and gloomily from the mouths of funnels and tall chimneys—which wraps up London and all large towns as in a garment—which clings lovingly round all our public buildings—which darkens the colour of our leaves, our linen, and our skin. " What has this to do with morals ?" will be asked. There is very great meson to believe that it may have important influence over morals. If, as the proverb tells us, " cleanliness is next to godliness," smoke, which renders cleanliness almost impossible, must have something to do with morality. Mr. Conn's., who has had great opportunities for obser vation, notices, that when country-people come first to Loudon they struggle hard against the difficulties which smoke plums in the way of their keeping them selves clean. Finding that their efforts are vain, they at last " yield to circumstances" and consent to remain dirty tenants of dirty houses. " Give them a better atmosphere," he says, " and we shall keep their minds in a better state." It is quite clear that here is the opening to a very great question, but as there is no need to anticipate the province of the lecturer in this direction, let us endeavour to find out whether there is really ground or not for the denunciations which some persons have directed against smoke, and which others are inclined to think a little too strong. A few facts taken out of many thousands may throw a little light upon the question. It was ascertained some time back that within a given distance of large manufactories at Sheffield, no laurelsor other evergreens could be persuaded to grow. If the plants could have explained what was the matter, they would have let us know that they were simply suffocated. The smoke coated the surface of their leaves, stopped up the pores, and prevented respiration. If Sheffield had depended upon itself for crowning its heroes with laurel, the heroes would have remained without that classic ornament for their heads. Again, a comparative anatomist who dissects two London sparrows —one a native of the metropo lis, the other his country visitor—would be able to distinguish the cockney bird from his friend by the coating of soot covering the lungs of the former. If a person looks at the lakes in the parks near a large town, he will see them covered with a dirty Slit; at a little distance from London, waters exposed to the air have their surfaces pure. Ob. servers at Ashton-under-Lyne discovered that the grass and the leaves of plants in the immediate neighbourhood of the town were dirty during the week, but that on Sunday they were clean. This is as example of decorous observance of the Sabbath which is worth imitation. If a church is built with stone or a house covered with stucco, in the heart of London, it becomes black in a very short time. It the same thing takes place in the country, the buildings retain their external purity for years. Mr. ULAT calculates that the extra paint required at Preston, on account of the smoke costs the town 1,250/. a year. A scientific gentleman in the neighbourhood of St. John's-wood has tabulated the pleats that refuse to grow at various distances from Ozford-street. "Blacks" are the terror of cleanly housekeepers. Thousands of similar instances show that the "smoke nuisance " is no imaginary evil, but a mel3n choly fact. It is in vain to look upon smoke abolitionists as men engaged in fighting with windmills, mistaking them for giants. The complaint■ about the effects of smoke do not come from good-natured people riding sanitary hobby-horses. There it is, blackening your parish church and your wife's muslin, stifling your cherished plant and your pet canary, dirtying the bodies and eventually the souls of those who cannot afford to purchase the means of cleanliness. But this is only a small portion of the whole evil. By encouraging the smoke nuisance we fling away our money with a reckless profusion which is dis graceful. The old saying, "Ex fume dare lucent," —to produce light from darkness—is reversed by the way in which we deal with our smoke. It is right that every inhabitant of London should know that the dense black canopy which hangs over his head, and is partly the produce of his own chimney, is really just so much light and heat thrown away. Had his portion been kept in his own grate until it was consumed, it would have warmed him; applied in another manner, namely turned into gas, it would have given him light. We darken our City by the very material which ought to light it up. This may be very easily seen in a common fire-place. While the fire is burning brightly, the coal is being per fectly decomposed. Every particle of coal is doing its duty. Throw a shovelful of coals upon the fire and smoke arises. This smoke is really coal escaping away partially decomposed by burning. The instant the whole mass is on fire, the smoke ceases. Every house keeper should take this to heart, and remember that, when he puts on a shovelful of coals, one-third of the quantity—some say much more—makes itself wings, flies up the chimney, and, circling fantastically about, I proceeds to commit all manner of mischief. It sepa rates itself into innumerable particles, of which some descend to pollute their late proprietor's furni ture and clothes through any window which by chalce may be open; some kill his plants; some are swallowed by his children playing in the square. Others amuse themselves by clinging to his windows and blocking out the light ; others may be seen careering off to mark some sacred " marble with their name;" others will sullenly take their sta tion for a while in the atmosphere, trying the experiment of turning day into night. So the poor housekeeper loses a third of his money in the first place, and become. a nuisance to himself and the public in the second. He will have to pay the washerwoman and the soap-dealer to repair the damage doss to the linen and skin of himself and family; he will have to pay increased rates to re pair the damage done to the poorer part of the com munity; he will suffer by the damage done to the public buildings of the country. The economic advantages which would be produced, therefore, by the consumption of smoke form no small element in the argument by which it is recommended. To this must be added the consideration that the increased consumption of coal is such, that there tre national reasons for economy in the use of it. Coal, besides being need to cook our food and warm our rooms, has become the most im portant agent in our manufacturer. Not only is the l coal itself valuable, but the refuse which is left after employing it in various ways is of the utmost im portance to manufactures and commerce. The waste products of coal are valuable, because the oils and dyes produced from them are indispensable for various manufactures. Coal, in all its transforma tions, is thus day by day becoming more necessary to us. Is it consistent to send a third, or half, of it— as as some say—up our chimneys, to be scattered over the surface of our towns, performing no other tune- • ...

THE provincial public is speaking out on the sub ject of the war, and the manner in which it has been and continues to be managed. The voices that reach us are those of earnest, reflecting, cautious leaders of opinion in their respective districts. The speakers at the late public meeting in Manchester, while treating Mr. BRIGHT with all that respect which his position as a corn-law repealer, and his fearless energy of character, deserve, protested emphatically and energetically against the course it has pleased that gentleman to adopt with reference to the war. At the meeting to be held in Leeds to-day Mr. ED WARD Buys, no mere flub speaker, no rash or un reflecting politician, is to take the lead in opposing Mr. COBDEN. It is evident, from these and other symptoms, that the bulk of our substantial middle class men are deeply impressed with the conviction that the war in which we are engaged is just and inevitable. But the most staid of our provincial politician■ go farther than this; they express in the most unequi vocal mouser their dissatisfaction with the way in which the war has been conducted on the part of Government. And some of them go so far as to indi cate their opinions respecting the cause of this mis. management. At the meeting of the Manchester Commercial Association, the President, Mr.Asenum, Tomes, remarked :—" It was impossible to read of the sufferings and hardships of our soldiers in the field without feeling the utmost admiration and gratitude to them, and which he could sot but think, alter making great allowance for the difficulties of men in office, was highly culpable, and which he did not think was so much attributable to neglect on the part of Government itself, as the result of the system pursued in making appointments, to subordinate posts, of men who had to carry into effect the orders of the Government. If, in manufacturing, steamboat, railway, and other large commercial concerns, it was the habit to fill up all the posts of subordinate officers by appointing sons, nephews, and relations of directors and shareholders, without reference to merit and competency, how could those great enterprises ever succeed P The usual way was to exercise the utmost oars in selecting men of talent, and if that was not the case, all those great mourns would soon be as disastrous and unfortunate for all concerned as affairs had been found in the Crimes. He wished the expression of this Chamber to go forth most unreservedly against this system." At New castle, Mr. LINDUAT, after expressing disappoint ment at the way in which the war has been managed, went on to attribute the failure to the real-organisa tion of public departments :—" There were too many heads—irresponsible heads--sad •far too great a machinery of useless forms. With such men as Captain MUMS (of whose unwearied exertions and practical knowledge he could not speak in terms toe high), and a simple system —s system similar to that which is adopted in greet mercantile establishments—wo would not hav; heard of the fearful sufferings to which our troops had been sub- end dolitErontwhanro,rashtesh:Ft it t n f d :le a D o t r ileti° M:f =re 14:311.14". nuisance ?—Daily News.
