DI 141-111 A ME N T. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKED. 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 ia full military uniform, and wag received with the most vociferous cheering, both sides of the house rising a nd remainin g uncovered until he had taken his seat just below the gangway of tke Ministerial side. When the honourable and gallant general bad taken his seat, The SPEAKER addressed him from the chair to the following effect. Ile said—General Evans, I have to in form you that, on the 15th Dec., the house agreed to the following resolution, nemine ontradieente, viz. :- "That the thanks of this house be g iven to Lieu tenaiit 7 General Sir De Lacy Evans, Knight Ginn mender of the Mosallonourable order of the Bath, _ and to several other officers therein nirne , l, for their zeal, intrepidity, and distinguished exertions in the several actions in which her Majesty's forces have been engaged with the enemy." Lieut.-General Sir De Lacy Evans, it is with feelings of pride and ratiefaction that the house welcomes the return of ewe 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, th e 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 L a cy 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 mons 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 an now. (Hear, and a laugh.) For I really do think that I had then a much mere 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. (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 bands 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.) That being so, I must confess that lam under the painful necessity of saying, that when the vote of thanks which I am hero 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, bare 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 he wanting an expression of gratitude towaris those who remain, and I therefore may be pardoned in endeavour ing now to place the matter on a inure just footing than that en 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 rem era 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 Feet—(a laugh)—for it would seem from the speech of the noble that he ccneidered himself a better judge of the transactions in which the Second Division had been engaged than even Lord Ita ;- lin himself. (Cries of " hear, bear.") The nobly lord overlooked the services of the Second Division, while they had been distinctly r ecognised 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 2.6 th of October, he gave all due credit and honour to the individual gallantry which was displayed on the 24h October, but he passed totally over the much more successful action which took place on the succeeding day. (Hear, bear.) * 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 Inkerinan, 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 you have now done me, but because I feel it is due to the gallant spirits whom I have left behind me, and who so nobly sustained sue in the hour of trial. (Loud and prolonged cheer...) 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 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 d sal who now addresses you, will yet have vast influence . in animating the courage and reviving the droopin g spirits of my fellow-ecuorades who now compose th 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 of Parliament to the gallant officer and ho n . m e m ber 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 house Lut ot the feelings and opinion% not only of this Las been t your good c oun t ry an d na ti on a t large, than it fortune to enjoy. The eloquent and feeling expres s ions the hon. and gallantin whi c h you have conveyed to officer_who has just sat down the thanks of this ho use ougl others teor remain a perpetual record for the encouragement o f which my hon. and gallant irisentod pursue the same career ha s so nobly f o ll ow ed, rue J. for the satisfaction of these bravo comrades arms whom h., e has so nobly headed the field of battle. (Loud cheering.) sir, I b eg leave to move Therefore, that that which has been spoken by the Speake convey ing to Sir De Lacy Evans the , thanks of this hr uttireb of the hon. goetleman s reply as referred and ento Lis gratification and appreciation of that vot,3 of thanks n ted in the votes of this house from the present i da;. printed (Hear, hear, r.nd chce.rs.) in a few wends (which were scarcely Mr. WALPOLE, audible in the gallery), was wider: toed to express hi s .entire concurrence, net only in the vote of thanks, but also it, the motion of Lord Palmerston. Lord PALMERSTON' again, rose and said—Sir, as riiy hen. aid gal'ant friend has a dverted to :wee topics not in him ediate connectioe with the vote which the house Las jest accorded to him, I should wish to move t!.at so m uc h on l y o f the Lot% and galbiet gen tlemau reply as Lad referenCe to the vote of thanks Should be printed. (Hear, hear.) The niotioc was then put by The Speaker, and ap proved of by the house. FISHERIES (NORTH AMERICA) BILL. This bill passed through committee.

The unusual incident. of the House of Commons communi cating its thanks through the Speaker to one of its CWII mem bers for gallantry in thee field of battle may excite s •fficieat interest to justify a bri zf notice of former testinioniala 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 in the Loadoit 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 tines 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 testimcmials to his gallantry intelli gible saving served three years in India in active operations, beginning 1807 ; been engaged at the surrender of the Isle of Bourbon and capturti of Mauritius, 1309-10 ; in the retreat of Lord Wellington from Burgos, 1812 (wounded at llennoza) ; engaged iu the battle of Vittoria, siege of Pampehma and battles of Pyrenees, 1813 ; investment of Bayonne, and battles near Toulouse (twice wounded, two horses kille 1 iu action), 18 t4.—Lieut. Evans embarked with the small army of Major-General Ross fur the United State:; in June, 1814. It was resolved to strike a decisive blow in some more vul nerable part of the Sta es than had yet been done in 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 mi'cs from Washington) was foao - ° ht on the 24th Of August, the A mer ican 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 beheld him. He had two horses killed under him. The same evening ho 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 on the capital, as a mark of humiliation, and l e ave it. For this end a flag of truce was sent in. It was fired on by the Americans. Lieutenant Evans solicited permission to lead a storming party at once upon the redoubts and de fences. This he did after dark, and was successful. The official accounts state that befogs midnight, the Capitol, Se nate-house, House of Representatives, Arsenal, Dockyard, the Treasury, War-office, President's Palace, Government Rope-walk, a frigate, and several sloops of war in the dock yard, the great bridge across the Potomac, and a vast quan tity of ammunition, with powder magazines and artillery, were destroyed. Mr. Glcig (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 Lieutenant 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, in 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 the 12th of September following, in meeting an Ameri can army while advancing upon Baltimore, General Ross was killed. The Americans were'again, 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 creek 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 Evhns "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 stair 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 "toss, he says : " Let me do justice to his successor and his advisu.s. Of these latter there is one whom it would be improper not to mention by name—l mean Lieutenant Evans, Deputy- Assistant-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 he 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 reads and sugar-canes in ad vancing upon and retreating from New Orleans, in oapturing 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 tho 10th of December, 1814, to the re-embarka tion at the end of January, 1815. In the action of "the 25tli of December he 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 Lieu 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 Glens killed, and General Keane wotuided) succeeded to the chief command. - His subsequent promotions were, captain (in a West India regiment), dated elle 12th of January; major, the 11th of May; add lieutenant -colonel, the 13th of Jane, 1815; colonel, the 10th of January, 1537; major-gcna . al, 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 iu the mighty campaign of Waterloo. He was incessantly engaged in the Quartermaster -General's department, by night as well as day, on the 18th, 17th, and 18th of June. On the 18th, the Duke's aides-de-camp being nearly ail 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 three years. After being shelved as a military man for his political Liberalism, he was selected by Lord Palmerston, in 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 sufferings of the British army in the Crimea, 1854-5, the Legion began a series of active operations 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, commaudiug a naval squadron on the coast, wrote of it thus to the Admiralty : " I conceive their Lordships will not expect from me 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 tho other was stormed by these bravo men in a manner that excited one 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, 1536. " M. to Gen6ral,-- I have known for a long time the posi-. tions which you have carried. I was also made acquainted ahnost 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-. perieneed, 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 new of this engagement has excited the most lively spmpathy ; 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 June, and was again defeated. Ou 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 - Magill. But, indeed, his presence did that always. Ou the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th of March, 1837, the Leg,ion, in alternate rain, snow, and frost was engned every day, awl every day took new ground to the front. On the 16th, by the treachery of oue 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 gun. 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 enemy who had never spared a prisoner taken from the British Legion, the General had his whole force paraded outside the town, @ober and orderly, within four hours of its capture, except men on duty. Such was _the perfect discipline to which ho had brought it by his ceaseless attention to its training ; a discipline -which rendered 4,t;00 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 Cameral Evans has done since it is unnecessary that the present writer should say a word. The country knows, and. the :House of Co:unious has spaken for the coaatry. 40 8 1, 4 s L c i u Ck i r ,li S n, ll , lP: Is LIVERPOOL—The fine new clipper 1 , 4 75 a.,:d et, latter Millers and Th:; ttn. and Bride of the Sol—the fonner if the moitg:,,, ee ," / ":, 1,314 tons—belonging to Me,srs. wtre sold by surfon, by order T.

FOREIGN - -OFFICE, JAN. 25. to Qaeon has been graciously pleased to appoint Wiam Walton, Esq., to be her Majeßty's Consul at Clara. This road, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, which has hitherto attractedsbut little notice in England, is now completed, and at this date the trains are pro. bably running through from sea to sea. Its effect upon the commerce Of the world, when its advantages are fully developed, it is difficult to estimate ; but, as it is the only easy transit for passengers, and the only prac ticable one for merchandise, it is evident that it 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 bui't, and, in the opinion of engineers who have reported upon it, is in every respect as good a road as any on the contl nent of America.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —Feb. 2. SOUTHWARK.—Yesterday there were two sum monses heard befora Mr. Combe, under the Smoke Nuisances Act, which exhibited the extraordinary dif ference of opinion among Magistrates as to their decisions, or the real nieanin-g of the act. A number of manufac turers have lately been fined 5/. in this court fur not complying with the regulations of the act of Pardarnent, although they show that they had used patents which they considered sufficient to consume the smoke • but recently the same ma g i s t ra t e s have 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 capable of consuming the smoke, they ought not to be fined. The 51.4 summons heard to-day was against_ William Bryer, trotter-dresser and glue-manufacturer, Manor lanr, Bermondsey. Mr. Wm. Sandeson, the Government engineer, said that he inspected the defendant's premises on the 20th ult., when he found six boilinc , 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 lead been constructed. Mr. Combe—ls there any process by which they can consume the smoke effectually', Mr. Bandeson—Yes, there is, and I told the defend ant's foreman that if they used the apparatus the shaft must be raised considerably. _ _ Tho LlP6Rnriant'q clerk that wins; the inspection he had und coke instead of coal, and ho believed that pre vented any noisance. They wei s about to make ar rangements ; therefore he hoped his worship would sus pend his judgment. Mr. Joseph Payne, who attended for Hr. Bodkin, informed the magistratJ that defendant ma l done nothing whatever to consume the smoke. Ile must therefore press fur the full per:alty in C.tis (Aso. Mr. Combo accordingly fined defendant st. and costs. Mr. Henry Barber, manufacturer of tartaric acid, Jamaica-level, Bermondsey, was next summoned under the satne act. Mr. Sandcson said he inspected defendant's premises on the 10th of January and found two ste am-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 qua! ter of an hour. On examining the furnaces be 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 use 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 had au apparatus applied to his furnaces within 48 hours after the inspection, and no smoke had been emitted, except when firing or making experiments , . All the smoke-consuming apparatus will send forth smoke for a short time when firing is going on. • Mr. Combo 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 stand over for a mouth. 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 Exchanie to Bishopsgate. The parties interested claimed 35,276/. ; they hare got 28,7111.. A slight change is in coontemplation 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 sepaiate 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. The change in the collar will be male immediately, and the other modification in troduced by degrees, as new clothing is supplied. .A.GYERTISRMENT.I--TUR WAR IN THE EAST. —POWERFUL PATENT RECONNOITRING GLASSES.— SIGHT AND HEARIXG.—Messrs.
