IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS-YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER 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 and ordered to be committed. VOTE OF THANKS TO SIR DE LACY EVANS. This gallant officer came in about half-past four o'clock. He appeared in full military uniform, and was received witk the most vociferous cheering, both sides of the house rising and remaining uncovered until he had taken his seat just below the gangway of tke Ministerial side. When the honourable and gallant general had taken his seat, The SPEAKER addressed him from the chair to the following effect. lie said—General Evans, I have to in form you that, on the 15th Dec., the house agreed to the following resolution, nemine contradicente, viz. : "That the thanks of this house be given to Lieu tenant-General Sir De Lacy Evans, Knight Com mander of the Most Honourable order of the Bath, and to several other officers therein named, for their zeal, intrepidity, and distinguished exertions in the several actions in wbich her Majesty's for ces h ave b een 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 borneso 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 b ese t th e Second Division of the army. (Hear, hear.) Tour 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 Com mon, of the United Kingdom, deliver to you their unanimous thanks for the zeal, energy, and ability with which yon 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 fer 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, air, 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 lam new. (Hear, and a laugh.) For I really do think that I had then a much more difficult 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. (Rear, bear.) Sir, I cannot allow thi,s 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 butable to their devotion and exertions that I owe the pleasure of being here at this moment. (Sensation.) Tbat being so, I must confess that lam 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 whet 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, lam 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 Rae ltn himself. (Cries of "hear, hear.") The noble lord overlooked the services of the Second Division, while they had been distinctly recognised in the despatches of Lord Raglan. Certainly, the noble lord made reference to the First and Second Division, but he did so in a manner which left it to be inferred that the latter was entitled to less credit than the former. (Hear, hear.) This was in reference to the battle of the 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 110 sort of notice of that action. (Hear, hear.) Again, in reference to the battle of Inkerman, not the slightest mention is made by the noble lord of 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 50,000 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. (Hear.) 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 yon have now done me, but because I feel it 4 due to the gallant spirits whom I have left behind me, and who so 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. (Hear.) I hope, however, that I shall have suffi c i en t 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 deal 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 cheese.) 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 of Parliament to the gallant officer and hon. member who has. so nobly served his " h lntrY• I will venture to say, that never was a s p ea k er wo h ad f a i thful 0 an oppertunity of being more completely the house, e:fau of the feelings .and opinions, not only of this has been of the country and nation at large, than it and feelifir good fortune to enjoy.

The unusual incident of the House of Commons communi cating its thanks through the Speaker to one of its own mem bers for galiantry in the field of battle may excite sufficient interest to justify a brief notice of former testimonials to that gallant member. It is now 44 years since Sir De Lacy Evans was five times in as many months mentioned in despatches published iu the London Gazette for having specially distin guished himself, not as a favoured member of the staff, but as a working soldier, who had been in ten battles and sieges, numerous skirmishes, had ridden on horseback, without rest, 300 miles on exigent service, had five horses killed under him, been three times wounded, and had led three or four desperate assaults in person, as desperate as any forlorn hope, and was still no more than a subaltern officer—only (in poli tical influence) a friendless lieutenant. For the sake of brevity we shall only notice as much of his services as will make the testimonials to his gallantry intelli gible. Having served three years in India in active operations, beginning 1807 ; been engaged at the surrender of the Isle of Bourbon and capture of Mauritius, 1809-10 ; in the retreat of Lord Wellington from Burgos, 1812 (wounded at Hermoza) ; engaged in the battle of Vittoria, siege of Pampeluna and battles of Pyrenees, 1813 ; investment of Bayonne, and battles near Toulouse (twice wounded, two horses killed in action), 1814.—Lieut. Evans embarked with the small army of Major-General Ross for the United States in June, 1814. It was resolved to strike a decisive blow in some more vul nerable part of the States than had yet been done iu the previous two years of unhappy war between America and England. The city of Washington, capital of the nation, was the point aimed at. The battle of Bladensburg (five miles from Washington) was fought on the 24th of August, the American army being totally routed, with considerable loss in men, ammunition, and artillery. Lieutenant Evans behaved with a gallantry which was the admiration of all who behold , him. He had two horses killed under him. The same evening he was in front with a party reconnoi tering the defences of the city of Washington, preparatory to its investment by the army. The design of the General was to impose a fine en the capital, as a mark of humiliation, and t leave it.

Gleig (Captain-General) records that, "In destroying the cannon a method was adopted which I have never before witnessed, and which, as it was both effec tual and expeditious, I cannot avoid relating. One gun of rather a small calibre was pitched upon as the executioner of the rest. Being loaded with ball and turned to the muzzles of the others, it was fired, and thus beat out their breechings." We believe It was in the ready resources of Lieutonant Evans that this plan originated. At all events, he not only had headed the assault, but was charged with the duty of com pleting the destruction of all the Government property— a duty which the terrible exigencies of a war which had not been of his making or seeking imposed on him. _ _ General Ross, iii a despatch to Earl Bathurst, spoke of him thus : .' I must beg leave to call your lordship's attention to the zeal and indefatigable exertions of Lieutenant Evans, Acting Deputy-Quarter.Master-General. The intelligence displayed by that officer in circumstances of considerable difficulty in duces me to hope he will meet with some distinguished mark of approbation." On tho 12th of September following, in meeting an Ameri can army while advancing upon Baltimore, General Rosa was killed. The Americans werelaga,in, though 6,000 strong, with cavalry and artillery, routed by about 4,000 English. They lost 500 men and several guns. Once more Lieutenant Evans was gallantly conspicuous. The attack on Baltimore was abandoned through Admiral Cockburn discovering that 20 vessels had been sunk in the track to prevent his approach to the harbour. The London Gazette records that Colonel Brook, who succeeded General Ross in chief command, wrote thus of General Evans : "To Lieutenant Evans, 3d Dragoons, Acting Deputy- Quartermaster-General to this army, for the unremitting zeal, activity, and perfect intelligence which he evinced in dis charge of the various and difficult duties of his department, I feel warmly indebted, and I beg to solicit, through your lordship, a promotion suitable to the high professional merits of this officer. That this was not a mere Compliment paid to a staff officer is proved by what the Chaplain-General of her Majesty's Forces wrote, himself a regimental subaltern in that service. Speaking of the gallantry of General Ross, he says : " Let me do justice to his successor and his advisers. Of these latter there is one whom it would be improper not to mention by name—l mean Lieutenant Evans, Deputy- Assikant-Quartermaster-General. The whole arrangement of our troops in order of battle was committed to him, and the judicious method in which they were drawn up proved that ho was not unworthy of the trust." To relate all the services performed by Lieutenant Evans in conducting the army and munitions of war through the swamps, creeks, and forests of reeds and sugar-canes in ad vancing upon and retreating from New Orleans, in capturing the flotilla, in assisting the disposition of the forces in the various attacks, would require many columns of this jour nal. Suffice it to say that he was incessantly engaged in the most laborious and hazardous duties from the arrival at Lake Borgne on the 10th of December, 1814, to the re-embarka tion at the end of January, 1815. In the action of the 25th of December ho was wounded severely, yet continued night and day on duty ; and in the unsuccessful battle of the Bth of January, was again severely wounded. General Keane, who, in the first instance, had the chief command, wrote of him thus : " The indefatigable zeal and intelligence displayed by Lien tenant Evans, of the Quartermaster-General's Department, entitle him to the most favourable consideration.' He was in like manner mentioned in the naval despatches, and in those of Sir John Lambert, who (Generals Pakenham and Gibbs killed, and General Keane wounded) succeeded to the chief command. His subsequent promotions were, captain (in a West India regiment), dated the 12th of January; major, the 11th of May; and lieutenant-colonel, the 18th of June, 1815; colonel, the 10th of January, 1837; major-general, the 6th of Novem ber, 1846 ; colonel-in-chief of the 21st North British Fusi leers the 29th of August, 1853 ; and lieutenant-general the 20th of June, 1854. Returning to England from America in April, 1814, after the capture of Mobile, he was in time to take part in the mighty campaign of Waterloo. He was incessantly engaged in the Quartermaster-General's department, by night as well as day, on the 16th, 17th, and 18th of June. On the rah, the Duke's aides-de-camp being nearly all disabled or killed, he borrowed the services of Major Evans from the Quarter master-General. The major, though in battle all day, re mained unhurt, but lost two horses, one shot, another sabred. He continued on the staff of the British army in Paris during the next throe years. After being shelved as a military man for his political Liberalism, ho was selected by Lord Palmerston, tin 1835, to raise a British Auxiliary Legion in aid of the constitutional cause in Spain, the British Foreign Enlistment Act being suspended by the King in council to legalise the expedition. After eight months of severe drill and endurance of hardships unparalleled until the suffering's of the British army in the Crimea, 1854-5, the Legion began a series of activeoperations against an army of hardy mountaineers in their own fast nesses, far more remarkable for daring and enduring heroism than for great political results. The first of these was fought May 5, 1836. This resembled the battle of the Alma, except that the heights stormed were a threefold range, each inter sected by orchards, walls, breastworks, and redoubts ; the carnage, compared with the numbers engaged, was also greater. Lord John Hay, commanding a naval squadron on the coast, wrote of it thus to the Admiralty I conceive their Lordships will not expect from mo a detailed account of the various movements of her Catholic Majesty's forces (Spaniards and British Legion) during these operations, the particulars of which are at this moment imper fectly known to me. I cannot resist, however, stating the proud gratification I experienced in witnessing the gallantry displayed by the British Legion on this occasion. The in trenched position of the insurgents appeared impregnable ; but one after the other was stormed by these brave men in a manner that excited ono universal feeling of admiration." And of this action General Count Harispe, who commanded the Western Division of the army of France, wrote to General Evans as follows : Head Quarters, Bayonne, May 7, 1836. " M. le G6neral,— I have known for a long time the posi tions which you have carried. I was also made acquainted almost day by day with the preparations for defence. I could, therefore, appreciate all the difficulties which your troops have had to surmount. Whatever losses you may have ex perienced, the results of the combat do the highest honour to the British soldiers, and above all to their officers, who have given such brilliant proofs of devotedness and intrepidity. Everywhere the news of this engagement has excited the most lively sprapathy ; and I can assure you that no person will be more delighted than mpself—an old general of the Empire --at the triumphs gained by the arms of his Britannic Majesty. " Count DE HARISPE, " Lieutenant-General and Peer of France." On the 28th of the same month General Evans attacked and defeated his enemy. That enemy, greatly reinforced, attacked him on the Gth of Juno, and was again defeated. On the 11th of July and the 14th of August minor actions were fought, with the like results. On the Ist of October General Evans was attacked by a more formidable army than had before come against him. It was defeated at all points, but with severe loss on both sides. • The coolness of the General that day, amid the deadliest fire, inspirited his troops to enthu siasm. But, indeed, his presence did that always. On the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th of March, 1837, the Legion ' in alternate rain, snow, and frost was enga ge d every day, aid every day took new ground to the front. On the 16th, by the treachery of one ally, and the inability to co operate of the other (Espartero), General Evans, who had only about 4,000 effective English and 5,000 Spaniards was attacked by 18,000 of the elite of his enemy. He retreated about one mile, with a loss of 600 men, but saved every gu n . This was the only retreat which occurred from the beginning to the end of the service. _ _ _ From the 4th to the 17th of May following his army, Eng lish and Spaniards, were engaged almost daily. On the 15th the fortified town of Irun was invested, and, after a terri ble 'cannonade, was carried by storm at two points at eleven o'clock next day. Seven hundred prisoners were taken. Though full of stores of intoxicating liquors, and though de fended desperately by an enem y w h o had never spared a prisoner taken from the British Legion, the General had his whole force paraded outside the town, sober and orderly, within four hours of its capture, except men on duty. Such was the perfect discipline to which he had brought it by his ceaseless attention to its training ; a discipline which rendered 4,000 men worth four times the number of soldiers (no matter how well drilled in a barrack-yard), who had not been inured to active warfare and its unavoidable hardships. Of what General Evans has done since it is unnecessary that the present writer should say a word. The country knows, and the House of Commons has spoken for the country.

This road, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean!, which has hitherto attracted but little notice in England, is now completed, and at this date the trains are pra• hably running through from sea to sea. Its effect upon the commerce of the world, when its advantages are fully developed, it is di ffi cult to estimate ; but , as i t is the only easy transit for passengers, and the only prac ticable one for merchandise, it is evident thatit will open an important channel of communication between the two great oceans, and become a source of very large revenue to its projectors. It extends from Navy Bay, on the Atlantic, to the Bay of Panama, on the Pacific, its en tire length being less than 49 miles. Its gauge is five feet, its grades easy, the highest for a short distance near the summit being 60 feet to the mile on the Pacific, and 53 feet to the mile on the Atlantic slope ; the summit being only 250 feet above the level of the sea. It is well built, and, in the opinion of engineers who have reported upon it, is in every respect as good a road as any on the conti nent of America. Some of the bridges are of iron, and it is intended to replace all the wooden structures with that material. The neutrality of the isthmus it tra verses is guaranteed by the Government of the United States, by speeial treaty with New Granada ; and also by Great Britain and the United States, by what is known as the Bulwer treaty. It thus becomes the high way of nations. The transit of passengers and mer chandise is free. The grant from New Granada is for 49 years, during which period no other road of any kind can be built without the previous consent of the Pa nama Railroad Company. This company was organised under the aforesaid grant from New Granada, and a charter from the State of New York. After careful preliminary surveys the work was commenced in 1850. In 1852 a smallportion of the road was used for the trans portation of passengers and light ft-eight, the remainder of the transit of the isthmus being by expensive mule car riage. For some months past 38 miles have been in suc cessful operation ; and the 29th of Jan. had been fixed by the chief engineer as the day of celebrating the opening through to Panama. The revenue of that portion of the road hitherto used, notwithstanding the expensive mule carriage from its terminus to Panama, has been sufficient to pay all running expenses, and leave an ample surplus to pay interest on its bonds and dividends on its stack, averaging ever eight per cent. per annum. This re venue had been derived from a single train each way daily, six trains in the week. The average receipts have been more than 13 dollars, or upwards of 31. 10.. ster ling per mile for every mile a train has been run, being more than ten times the average receipts on the best roads in the United States, er Europe. With such re ceipts, the proportion of expenses to income is much less than on any other road in the world, and when in full operation, it is supposed that one-fifth of its gross income will be sufficient to pay all its expenses, without reckon ing upon any increase of traffic across the Isthmus beyond the average of the last three years. The increased rates of charge for through transit will yield a net revenue ef fully 15 per cent, on its entire cost, whilst the charge to passen gers will only be about one-half and formerchandise one fifth of the former expense of mule carriage. The amount expended upon this road, 'to this date, is about six mil lions of dollars (1,200,0001.) It is estimated that one million of dollars more will replace the wooden bridges with iron, and finish and fully equip the road for expected increase of traffic, making the entire cost 1,400,0001. sterling, or seven millions of dollars. Thus has been accomplished by the enterprise of our transatlantic brethren, at an inconsiderable cost, in view of its im portance, a work which many pronounced an impracti cability, and all deemed a hazardous undertaking. A continent has been pierced, and two great oceans united. A new highway to commerce has been opened, and when the current of trade shall flow into its channel, the world will wonder that this so long talked of union of the At lantic and Pacific had not been earlier consummated. POLICE INTELLIGENC.E.—Feb. 2. SOUTHWARK.—Yesterday there were two sum monses heard before Mr. Conibe, under the Smoke Nuisances Act, which exhibited the extraordinary dif ference of opinion among magistrates as to their decisions, or the real meaning of the act. A number of manufac turers have lately been fined if. in this court for not complying with the regulations of the act of Parliament, although they show that they had used patents which they considered sufficient to consume the smoke • but recently the same m ag i s t ra t es h ave dismissed complaints of a similar kind. The magistrates of this court are of opinion that where the parties have constructed appa ratus which they believe to be capahle of consuming the smoke, they ought not to be fined. The first summons heard to-day was against William Bryer, trotter-dresser and glue-manufacturer, Manor lane, Bermondsey. Mr. Wm. Sandeson, the Government engineer, said that he inspected the defendant's premises on the 20th ult., when he found six boiling pans, with separate fur naces, communicating with three shafts, each about 35 feet high. They were common furnaces, and no altera tion had been made to them. There was a dark thick smoke emitted, which was extremely offensive. One of the furnaces had only been fixed last week,. and no ap paratus had been constructed. Mr. Combe—ls there any process by which they can consume the smoke effectually Mr. SandesOn—Yes, there is, and I told the defend. ant's foreman that if they use d the apparatus the shaft must be raised considerably. The defendant's clerk said that since the inspection he had used coke instead of coal, and he believed that pre vented auy inisance. They were about to make ar rangements ; therefore he hoped his worship would sus pend his judgment. Mr. Joseph Payne, who attended for Mr. Bodkin, informed the magistrate that defendant had done nothing whatever to consume the smoke. He must therefore press for the full penalty in this case. Mr. Combo accordingly fined defendant 51. and tests. Mr. Henry Barber, manufacturer of tartaric acid, Jamaica-level, Bermondsey, was next summoned under the same act. Mr. 'Sandeson said he inspected defendant's premises on the 10th of January and found two steam-boilers and two furnaces, one of which was at work. The shaft was sufficiently high, and he observed a thick volume of black smoke emitted from it, lasting more than a quarter of an hour. On examining the furnaces he found that no alteration had been made to consume the smoke. Mr. Barber told him that he had previously used coke, which emitted no smoke, but, being out of it that day, he used coal. He also said he would immediately make the required alterations. Defendant—Suppose I us fuel that makes no smoke, shall I be liable to a penalty ? Mr. CoMbe—The act says the furnace must be so constructed as to consume its own smoke. I shall not give my opinion about the fuel or what might be the result of that . You must apply to an able lawyer for advice on that point. Mr. Payne—l don't think the authorities would in terfere where there is no smoke. The defendant said he bad an apparatus applied to him furnaces within 48 Lours after the inspection, and no smoke had been emitted, except when firing or making experirnentF. All the smoke-consuming apparatus will send forth smoke for a shoat time when firing is going on. Mr. Combe said he thought there was something in this case which showed that the defendant had complied with the act of Parliament as soon as the defect was pointed out by the Government Inspector. He should therefore not order a conviction to be recorded, but allow it to staid over for a menth. If at the end of that time the apparatus was effectual, the Government would not ask for the penalty. The claims for compensation in respect of the un slightly block of buildings which obstructs Threadneedle street have been settled. The thoroughfare is to be opened forthwith from the Exchange to Bishopegate. The parties interested claimed 35,2761. ; they have got 28,711/. A slight change is in contemplation in the uniform of the French regiments of the line. The collars are all to be yellow-, as those of the light infantry were, and which corps now do not form a separate branch of the service, but are numbered from 76 to 100 as regiments of the line. The skirts of the coat will be lengthened so as to come a little below the knee.
