Narrative:
The tower alerted us to a large cloud of smoke trailing from the left engine upon landing. As we cleared the runway; I confirmed the smoke and shutdown the number one engine. We began to get hydraulic low pressure lights. I advised the passengers to remain seated; ran the system hydraulic fail checklist and asked for the tower to have the fire trucks give us a look over. After the 'all clear' from the trucks; we proceeded to the gate on alternate nose wheel steering and the number two engine. We wrote the event up and turned the aircraft over to maintenance.
