rittrb tfitton. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS. Since our first edition went to press, we hare been informed that Lord Lansdowne has had in terviews with Lord John Russell, Mr. Gladstone, and Mr. Sidney Herbert, and that there is every reason to believe that the Noble Marquis, in con junction with Lord Palmerston, has undertaken the formation of a Cabinet. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SPBAKHIL took the chair shortly before four o'clock. The house was very much thronged on both sides, and all the galleries were filled with visitors. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Bolton and Nightingales' Road Bill, and Wigan and Preston Roads, North of Yarrow Bill, were read A second time aid ordered to be committed. VOTE OF THANKS TO SIR DE LACY EVANS. This gallant officer came in about half-past four o'clock. H. appeared in full military uniform, and was received with the most vociferous cheering, both sides of the house rising and remaining uncovered until he had taken his seat just below the gangway of the Ministerial side. When thA hnntnamblet and gallant general had taken his seat, The SPEAKIR addressed him from the chair to the following effect. He said—General Evans, I have to in form you that, on tue 15th Dec. the house azreed to the following resolution, nemine contradicente, wiz.-" That the thanks of this house be given to Lieut. General Sir De Lacy Evans, and to several other of ficers therein-mentioned, for their gallantry, ability, and distinguished exertions during the actions in which her Majesty's forces were engaged with the enemy." Lieut.- General Sir De Lacy Evans, it is with feelings of pride and satisfaction that the house welcomes the return of one who has borne so conspicuous a part in the brilliant achievements which have characterised the movements of the British army during the present war. (Cheers.) At the battle of the Alma you encountered and overcame, with admirable coolness, the almost insuperable difficul ties which beset the Second Division of the army. (Hear, hear.) Your repulse of the formidable attack of the Russians on the 26th October displayed commanding courage, and the service which you, along with your troops, rendered the country on that occasion, have been honourably recognised. (Hear.) Also on the heights of Inkerman you displayed such undaunted courage—(tre mendous cheers)—as to call forth the marked admiration of your fellow-countrymen. (Renewed cheers.) When rising from a bed of sickness you sustained amidst the fight with your great experience the gallant officer in temporary command of your division, and you at the same time refused to withhold from him the honour, while you shared with him the dangers of the en counter. (Great cheering.) Lieutenant-General Sir De Lacy Evans your conduct throughout the whole of this memorable campaign has been marked by the same intrepid gallantry which had already distinguished your early military career—(loud cheers)—and has justly gained for you the highest honour which it is in the power of this house to bestow. (Continued cheers.) It is, therefore, with feelings of unfeigned satisfaction that I now, in the name, and by command of the Corn along of the United Kingdom, deliver to you their unanimous thanks for the zeal, energy, and ability with which you have discharged your onerous duties in the several actions in which her Majesty's forces have recently been engaged. (Loud cheers.) Sir DE LACY EVANS rose to reply, which was the signal for a renewed burst of cheering. In a feeble voice, which was occasionally inaudible in the gallery, he said, as far as we could gather—l beg to assure you, sir, and the house, that I appreciate most deeply the very high honour you have bestowed on me. There is no honour which a British subject can aspire to, or more ardently desire, higher than that which is con veyed in the recognition of his public services, what ever they may be, by the representatives of the Commons of England. (Loud cheers.) Sir, I hope I shall be pardoned if I remark that while I am fully sensible of the responsibility that recently devolved upon me, and deeply appreciate the vete which this house has come to, yet I certainly think I was just as good an officer and just as deserving of the compliment some 20 years ago as I am now. (Hear, and a laugh.) For I really do think that I had then a much more diffienit and intricate duty to perform, while I performed it perhaps with far more success than that which attended the less important service which I have re cently endeavoured to render the state. (Hear, hear.) Sir, I cannot allow this opportunity to pass without ob serving that the kind and honourable reception which I have this day experienced at the hands of this house is alike due to the noble division which I had the honour to command, from the highest officer down to the lowest private, and I feel that it is almost exclusively attri bitable to their devotion and exertioes that I owe the pleasure of being here at this moment. (Sensation.) That being so, I must confess that I am under the painful necessity of saying,:that when the vote of thanks which I am here to-night to receive was pro posed, the gallantry of that division was not sufficiently recognised ; for on reading the speech of the noble lord who lately represented the Government in this house when proposing the vote, I was somewhat astonished at the official statement he made; because it appeared to me that he had taken a totally different view (if not wholly overlooked) of the services of that portion of the army which I recently had the honour to command, and which you, sir, have done me the honour to refer to in such flattering terms. Sir, I am sorry to be obliged to think that when at least one-half of the Second Division had perished in battle or otherwise, there should still be wanting an expression of gratitude towards those who remain, and I therefore may be pardoned in endeavour ing now to place the matter on a more just footing than that on which the noble lord left it. (Hear, hear.) Sir, the noble lord, while speaking of the Battle of the Alma, indulged in a tone which reminded me very forcibly of a remark once made by a late witty divine, whom we all well knew, namely, that the noble lord had courage enough to undertake the command of the Channel Fleet--(a laugh)—for it would seem from the speech of the noble lord, that he considered himself a better judge of the transactions in which the Second Division had been engaged than even Lord Rag lan himself. (Cries of " hear, hear.") The noble lord overlooked the services of the Second o Divis . lwhile they had been distinctly recogni se d i n the des o p r a n t P i ch es of Lord Raglan-. Certainly, the n o bl e lord niki ce to the First and Second Divisio n , b ut he didesoerinn manner 'which left it to be inferred that the latter entitled to l ess cre dit th an th e f ormer. (Hear, hear,) Was This was in ref erence t o th e b a ttl e o f t h e Alma ; but, again, the noble lord, when he went on to speak of the lesser actions of the 25th and 26th of October, he gave all due credit and honour to the individual gallantry which was displayed on the 25th October, but he passed totally over the much more successful action which took place on the succeeding day. (Hear, hear.) That action was mentioned in such eulogistic terms in the des patches of Lord Raglan as to be deemed worthy of her Majesty's high approbation, while the despatch of the French general referred to it in no less flattering terms, and yet the noble lord in his official statement to the house took no sort of notice of that action. (Hear, hear.) Again, in reference to the battle of Inkernaan not the slightest mention is made b y the noble lord o; the gallantry displayed by the Second Division ; but still it suffered the most, and had for an hour at least to bear the brunt of the charge of 10 ,000 men. (Loud cheers.) In point of fact the Second Division was the only one permanently engaged in the three general actions of the Crimea, and that Division, I think, has some reason to complain of the omissions in the noble lord's official statement. (bear.) I beg pardon for this unpleasant reference to the past, but I make it not on my own account, as I feel deeply grateful for the honour you have now done me, but because I feel it is due to the gallant spirits whom I have left behind me, and w h o 8 0 nobly sustained me in the hour of trial. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) Sir, I should like certainly to say a few words upon the present aspect of affairs, as well as of the future strug gles in which we are likely to be engaged with Russia; but I feel that this is not the proper occasion for doing so. I (Hear.) I hope, however, that I shall have sufficient strength and health to take advantage of some other opportunity which may offer for that purpose ; but in the meantime I may be allowed to say that the aspect of the house upon the present occasion, though it is called forth by the feeble services of the humble indivi dual who now addresses you, will yet have vast influence in animating the courage and reviving the drooping spirits of my-fellow-comrades who now compose the army of the East. (Loud cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON said—Sir, I rise with great pleasure to perform an office which I am sure will receive the unanimous and cheerful concurrence of this house. No function which belongs to the individual who fills the chair which you, sir, so worthily occupy can be more agreeable or more honourable to him than the discharge of a duty such as you have just performed, namely, that of conveying the thanks ef Parliament to the gallant officer and hon. member who has so nobly served his country. I will venture to say, that never was a speaker who had an opportunity of being more completely the faithful organ of the feelings And opinions, not only ef this house, but of the country and nation at large, than it has been your good fortune to enjoy. The eloquent and feeling expressions in whioh you have conveyed to the hon. and gallant officer who has just sat down the thanks of this house ought to remain a perpetual record for the encouragement of others to pursue the same career which my hon. and gallant friend has se nobly followed, and for the satisfaction of those brave comrades in arms whom he has so nobly headed in the field of battle. (Loud cheering.) Therefore, sir, I beg leave to move that that which has been spoken by the Speaker convey ing to Sir Do Lacy Evans the thanks of this house, aid so much of the hon. gentleman's reply as referred to his gratification and appreciation of that vote of thanks, be printed in the ♦otes of this house from the present day. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. WA.LPOLE, in a few words (which were scarcely audible in the gallery), was understood to express his entire concurrence, not only in the vote of thanks, but also in the motion of Lord Palmerston. Lord PALMERSTON again rose and said—Sir, as my hon. and gallant friend has adverted to same topics not in immediate connection with the ♦ote which the house has just accorded to him, I should wish to move that so much only of the hon. and gallant gen tleman's reply as had reference to the vote of thanks should be printed. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then put by the Speaker, and ap- proved of by the house. FISHERIES (NORTH AMERICA.) BILL, This bill passed through committee. The House then a-ljourned at a quarter before five. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING,_ FEBRUARY 2, 1855. WAR DEPARTMENT, FHB. 2. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has received a de spatch, of which the following is a copy, addressed to his Grace by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. : Before Sebastopol, Jan. 15, 1855. My Lord Duke,—The fall of snow has been very great for the last three days, and it is now fully a foot deep, which, I am assured, is a very unusual occurrence in this part of the Crimea. This circumstance adds materially to our difficulties in obtaining fuel ; but detachments of Turks aro posted near the coast to bring up wood, which has been cut by parties of our own in the neighbourhood of the monastery of St. George, to the nearest divisions.. I am happy to say that the number of wounded in the sortie of the Russians, on the night of the 12th instant, was only six instead of thirty-six, as I erroneously stated to your Grace in my despatch of the 13th, and that it was altogether a less serious affair than was at first reported. I enclose a return of casualties between the 12th and 14th inclusive. Last night the onemy attacked the French advanced trench in considerable force, but were repulsed after a sharp contest and some loss on both sides.—l have, &c., RAGLAN.

A heavy snow-storm came on this morning at seven o'clock, in the south of England, and continued without intermission for six hours. The up morning Dorchester train was two hours late into Southampton, and the London down express morning train was one hour late into Basingstoke. At Bishopstoke the fire of the morning down mail train engine was extinguished by the snow. The carriage wheels of a Dorchester tram were frozen to the rail by means of the snow while the train stopped at one of the stations, and it was with difficulty the train could be moved on. Such a snow-storm has not been known in the south fur years, SHARE MARKETS. (THIS DAY.) RAILWAYS. 100 8i RAILWAYB. Aberdeen Ambg. Nottng. Bost. and Ea,stn. Belfast & Ballymena. Binning.

DEPUTATION FROM THE CITY OF WEST- MINSTER Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, a deputation of electors :of the city of Westminster waited npon General Sir de Lacy Evans by appointment, at hie residence in Bryan ston-square, for the purpose of presenting that gallant officer with an address expressive of their admiration of the heroic services he has recently rendered to his coun try in the Crimea, and of their gratification at his safe return to his native land. The deputation, which included a very large number of the most influential inhabitants of the city, assembled at noon at the residence of Sir John Villiers Shelley, M.P., in Park-lane, whence they proceeded in a body to Sir De Lacy Evans' residence, in Bryaitston-square. Among the gentlemen present we remarked Mr. Thomas Prout, chairman of the committee appointed to draw up the address ; Mr. B. Cox, Mr. D. Loureds, Mr. W. Gee sin, Mr. Walter Taylor, Mr. W. Tucker, Mr. Watkin, Mr. Sainsbury, Mr. J. N. Bainbridge ' M.D., Mr. W. Lee Wright, M r . N e l son , M r . L am b er t, Mr, Gawthorpe, Mr. Labrum, Mr. Pouncey, Mr. Soames, Mr. Brown, Mr. Mallock, Mr. Bidgood, Mr. George, Mr. Well spring, Mr. Noble, Mr. J. M. Appleton, M.D., Mr. G. N. Epps, M.D., Mr. Adam Clarke, Mr. Thomson, and Mr. George Huggett, the honorary secretary. Sir J. Shelley accompanied the deputation, the mem bers of which were received by Sir De Lacy Evans in his drawing room. There was no formal introduction, almost all the gentlemen present being personally known to the gallant General. After an interchange of courtesies, Mr. PROM', addressing Sir De Lacy Evans, said— ' Your friends assembled around you have voted an ad dress to you, and they have honoured me by requesting that I should pray your acceptance of the same. The heroic manner in which, sir, you led your gallant troops to battle and victory and made an impression through out this country so highly in your favour, that from the Palace to the cottage, I may say, one universal theme of thankfulness to you would be found to prevail—(hear) —and, air, there is no one knows better than myself the vary great pride you have always felt in representing Westminster, and in having been elected so many times, you have continually expressed your gratitude for that distinction ; but, sir, I am proud to say that, although the sentiment may be very strongly impressed on your mind, the citizens of Westminster themselves feel more pride in having yen as one of its representatives. (Hear.) Sir, it would be ungracious for me to detain you with more than a fear introductory words before reading this address to you, and I can only further express my full concurrence in it, and I say at this late period of my life that there has never been one moment mere gratify ing to me than that in which I am the medium of pre senting to yen an address in honour of your great and important services and your high military character, which has now been before the world for some 50 years. (Cheers.) I will not detain you longer with any obser vations of mine, but, as well as my aged eyes will allow me, I will read this address to you. Mr. PrionT then read the address as follows : "To General Sir De Lacy Evans, K.C.8., M.P., etc. " Dear Sir,—We, the undersigned electors of Westmin ster, who have on many occasions taken an active part in aiding your return as a representative of our city in Par liament, most respectfully beg to assure you of our great ad miration of your military service of our country, so promi nently before the world during the past and present wars. " When, in April last, you assumed the command of a di vision of the British army in aid of Turkey against Russian aggression, we were gratified that you had been again so honourably called into action by the Government. " We have from that time been most grateful observers of the courage and success of the British troops in the Crimea, aided by the gallant army of France. " It is officially recorded that when disease so generally de cimated the Allied Armies at Varna the division under your command exhibited the smallest amount of mortality, and which was much attributed to the means which you so saga ciously adopted. " In the attack on the enemy on the heights cf Alma you nobly headed the brave men of your division to victory ; and you maintained throughout that memorable conflict the self command and physical and moral courage which distinguish an experienced and superior military commander. "It was with just pride that we read the official record of the repulse of the enemy in his sortie on the 26th of October, when, leading your gallant division, the Russians were re pulsed with great slaughter. "We read with pride the following marked and public a1) - probation of your gallantry and Crimean services by our So vereign, recorded in the General Order of the Minister of the War Department of the 27th of November, and which histo rically hands down to posterity the merits of your individual conduct in the glorious battle of Inkerman of the sth of No vember, viz.:— " ' To Major-General Bentinek, Major-General Codrington, Brigadiers-General Adams, Torrens, and Buller, your lordship will be pleased to convey the Queen's sympathy in their wounds, and thanks for their services. "To the other officers named by your lordship I am directed to express her Majesty's approbation. The 'gallant conduct of Lieutenant-General Sir De Lacy Evans has at tracted the Queen's especial thanks. Weak, from a bed of sickness, he rose at the sound of the battle, not to claim his share in prominent command, but to aid with his veteran counsel and assistance the junior officer upon whom, in his absence, had devolved the duty of leading his division.' '" Praise from your constituents for these heroic and pa triotic deeds must bo comparatively little worthyyour accept anc,, when there is already thus accorded to you the thanks of our illustrious Queen and of both Houses of Parliament ; but we feel that our heartfelt gratitude is nevertheless interwoven with a nation's thanks. -- In battle, and of your serious illness oceasionody aiiT.Y ed dents, aggravated by your natural anxiety day and night for the equal sufferings of the noble soldiers of your division. We regret that from these causes a sense of duty has compelled you reluctantly to resign your command ; but we rejoice that your valuable life has been spared to your constituents and country, and that you have returned with the prospect of an early restoration to health. We do not doubt that, with life preserved to you, we shall at least retain your senatorial ser vice of us and of our common country. " We aro, dear Sir, yours truly and faithfully," Here follows the signatures. Sir DE LACY EVANS, having revived the address, said —Mr. Prout and gentlemen—l can assure you it is im possible for me to express the feeling of thankfulness and gratitude which the presentation of this address and the sentiments it contains impresses on my mind. It would be impossible for me to receive any compliment more grateful to my feelings—[here the gallant General's emotion for a moment overcame his utterance]—than this address from gentlemen who have known me for nearly a quarter of a century, and who supported me during a long period, when I was as object of calumny. [Here Sir De Lacy became again much affected.] Re covering himself, he continued—You will forgive my weakness, because I certainly el• feel mere gratitude to the people of Westminster than any man in this kingdom can do to the constituents wha have sent him to Par liament. It was both under evil and good repent that I have been supported by this great constituency for now nearly, as I have said, a quarter of a century. I felt very grateful indeed to you on various occasions for sending so comparatively undistinguished a person as your repre sentative to Parliament. I was always impressed in the highest degree with your consideration for me, but I felt it still more on my return from a former service which I thought was an honest and honourable service —(hear)—a service in support of those principles which you profess and act upon, and in support of the principles which throughout my political life, at least, I have done my best to promote. (Hear.) This service was represented by various powerful persons as a dishonourable service, but you by your verdict on my return home from that campaign pronounced it an hononrable service. (Hear, hear.) Your sentiments towards me were best evinced before the country by the triumphant majority of 1,100 by which I was returned over a most distinguished gene ral officer of the Peninsular army. That was certainly a proud test of your approval of my conduct, and I feel to this hoar most grateful to you for it. (Hear, hear.) But I remained under the ban of those high authorities for 16 or 17 years, notwithstanding which you still con tinued to retain your good opinion of my humble services and your approval of my professional career. (Hear, hear.) Circumstances of a momentous cha racter required this country to send an army into the field abort a year back, and on that occasion also I found that generous good feeling again evinced on your part by giving me leave of Marione° from my Parliamentary duties. I believe there is hardly an • instance on record of ei constituency giving a sort of carte blanclee to its representative to absent him self on two separate occasions from the discharge of the important duties devolving upon a member of Parlia ment. That leave you did me the honour to grant, I recollect, in this very room ; a portion of those whom I have now the pleasure of seeing around me, came to me to express their satisfaction that I was going on a ser vice with which the best interests of the country and humanity were identified. Gentlemen, I have had a humble command during the operations that have subse quently taken place, and I confess I consider myself most abundantly and unexpectedly fortunate in the re ception which you have kindly given me for any services I may have rendered to my country. Ido not in any manner wish to have the presumption to attribute to myself this strong manifestation of your kindness. I be lieve in doing no you are not merely exemplifying your kindness to me personally as your representative, but also your strong feelings of sympathy for my comrades, who are now struggling in that contest from which I have recently returned. (Hear, hear.) Ido not hesitate to say there is no instance on record of a young and in , experienced army having shown greater bravery and devotion to their country than that which landed some few months since in the Crimea. (Hear, hear.) I may be permitted to say that of ray comrades, but it would be presumptuous in me to attribute more than a very small share to myself. This is not an occasion, and really my feelings will not permit me to speak with en tire ease on this subject. We are, indeed, engaged in a most arduous struggle. It is not for me to offer any opinion on the conduct of the war. I had only a parti cular share in the transaction, and I do say for the portion of the army placed under my control I shall never cease to feel the greatest admiration for the officers, non-com missioned officers, and soldiers that belonged to the Se cond Division, which I had the honour of directing. lain sorry to say that many of them are no more, but such is the fate of war. I earnestly hope that the noble sympathy evinced by our countrymen at home for the suf ferings and privations of the army will have the effect of alleviating the hardships and difficulties they have been enduring, and that such indeed , has already been the result.
