Saturday, June 28. The Debate Of Last Ni...
Saturday , June 28 . The debate of last night upon the Ecclesiastical Tides Assumption Bill was the most important of the session . Ministers , who had successfully resisted Mr . Walpole , were beaten by Sir . Frederick fhesiger on two successive divisions by large majorities , and thev yielded one victory without a contest . The Irish members decamped in a body , and left the opposition to all restrictive clauses in the hands of Lord John and his iriends . There were no less than six divisions in the course of the evening .
The business of the evening was to consider the bill as amended . The first division arose upon a motion hy Mr . Miles making banishment , voluntary and compulsory , a punishment for the second and third violation of the act . This was lost by 140 to 101 . Mr . Keogh then moved , successively , three mitigatory clauses , the first of which was agreed to , the second and thircl rejected by large majorities .
The third caused a row , Parliamentary . Mr . Hayter , Secretary of the Treasury , had given Mr ,, Keogh to understand that there wis no objection to this clause ( which positively declared that no prosecution should be entered on without the consent of the Attorney-General ) . Now the Government suddenly resolved to oppose it . The Irish Brigade were , of course , immensely scandalized , and sharp words were exchanged . It was obvious that Mr . Hayter had duped Mr . Keogh—of course , ' without authority !"
I he result was , that when Sir . Frederick Thesiger rose to move his series of amendments , and was on the point of " entreating the earnest attention of the House , " about " seventy members left it , amidst loud laughter . " It was the indignant retreat of the Irish Brigade . Ministers were now left to the mercy of the ultra-Protestant Opposition , and certain of defeat . Sir Fkederick Tjiusiqeii moved" his first amendment , to substitute for the words . " a certain brief or
rescript , " the words , " certain briefs or rescripts , " in tin ; preamble , thus making the act of general application . Lord John Hushell very feebly opposed this and the succeeding amendments , upon the very questionable ground that they would not add to the efficiency of the measure . The House divided on the iirst— For the amendment , 135 ; ngainst it , 100 . Majority against Ministers , 3-5 .
1 lie second amendment rendered any person who should publish uny " bull , brief , rescript , or letter apostolical , " liable to a iine of £ 100 . This was opposed by the Somoitor-Gknkual , in a lachrymose speech , in whi h he told the story of the aggression * yr the hundredth time . The House divided as lollowM For the amendment , 1 (> 5 ; against it , 109 . Majority agaiuni MinisiciB , 6 ti . | h (! third amendment was suffered to pass without a division , Lord J .

1 'AXTON ON THE FUTURIfi OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE . 11 u llUV (! a P P - 't before us , published by Messrs . JMiuHiury und Evmw , from Mr . Puxton himaelf , on " » o I ' uturo of the Crystal Palace ; of which , had it "u . iumI us earlier , we should huvu printed tlin whole . ti , Wo , d mukc «* ' " a Winter Pink and Gurdoit : uiUH uddmg the « o * l of his authority to what horeto-» ro illul bccn Hpeculation . He suyw the whole thing
could be done for £ 12 , 000 a-year ; and he paints the following inviting picture , which we hope to see realized : — " In this winter paik and garden the trees and plants might be so arranged as to give great diversity of views and picturesque effect . Spaces might beset apart for equestrian exercise , and for carriage drives ; but the main body of the building should be arranged with the view of giving great extent and variety for these who promenade on foot . Fountains , statuary , and every description of park and garden ornament , would greatly
heighten the effect and beauty of the scene . Beautiful creeping plants might be planted against the columns , and trailed along the girders , so as to give 6 hade in summer , while the effect they would produce by festooning in every diversity of form over the building , would give the whole a most enchanting and gorgeous finish . Besides these there might be introduced a co lec » ion of living birds from all temperate climates , and the science of geology , so closely connected with the Btudy of plants , might be illustrated on a large and natural scale , thus making practical botany , ornithology , and geology familiar to every visitor . "
The boarding , which now looks so much like " shutters , " he would take down , and substitute glass , removing a tier round the entire building in summer ; and the climate of this fairy garden would in the winter be equal to that of Southern Italy . " The alterations necessary to the building itself , * ' says Mr . Paxton , " to produce the effects I have suggested , would not be many or cost much money . Shortly will be published by me a view showing how the whole may be finished so as to do away with all idea of smoke , chimneys , or other kind of nuisance . "
But by the contract with the Woods and Forests the Commissioners are bound to remove all traces of the Crystal Palace before next summer . In the House of Commons last night Lord John Russell , in reply to Mr . Stafford , said that as a Commissioner of the Exhibition he was bound to tee the space it occupied cleared according to contract ; and as a Minister he had had no time to think about the matter . Therefore , all who would preserve this fairy land must speak out at once , and tell the Commissioners what the Minister should do .
The Number Of Visitors Yesterday At The ...
The number of visitors yesterday at the Crystal Palace was 29 , 033 , and the receipts at the door £ 2969 2 s . Mr . Alderman Salomons was yesterday elected by a majority of 897 over his opponent , Mr . Alderman Wire , for the borough of Greenwich . Mr . Wire is said to have remarked that , " though the numberB were against him , he considered himself as their representative , " conveying an insinuation that the money of the Hebrew victor had been freely dispensed to the " independent" electors . There is to be a fete at Kosherville on the 4 th of July , in honour of the Americans at present in England . An American committee has been organized , and Mr . Abbott Lawrence will be invited to dine with Jiis countrymen . Prince Albert attended the field-day in Hyde-park , and was afterwards present at the " Speech-day" at Harrow School .
Telegraphic accounts of the 13 th of June , from Toronto , state that in the legislative Assembly Mr . Cajlor had moved an address to the Queen , praying for the restoration of that protection which C ; tnada formerly enjoyed in the English market . After a debate the question was postponed until the result of the reciprocity negotiations with the Arntrican Government should be made known . The council of the Toronto Board of Trade were , on the 13 th , about to memorialize the Government against the project of closing the canals to American vesnels , and in favour of differential duties , to encourage the trade of the St . Lawrence . A terrific typhoon occurred at Ceylon on the 1 st of May , and at Madras on the 5 lh . Nearly twenty vessels were lost , amongst which is the Falkland steamer .
Another seaman has turned up who was present when the cairn , " supposed to have been erected by Sir John Franklin , was fouud . Lady Franklin has been at Hull , looking into these reports . Detonating cigars have found their way into the possession of the French soldiers at Rome . There has been a great disturbance about it .
Death Of The Revkubni) Thomas Hakvky At ...
Death of the Revkubni ) Thomas Hakvky at Boulogne . — We extract the following from a Boulogne paper of the 23 rd instant . Doubtless the vexaiion » avid anxieties incidental to Mr . Harvey ' s position , and the continued wearing effect of hope deferred , conspired to produce the fatul catiiHtrophe . lie is now at rest , and can well afford to forgive those to whom he was wuut to attribute the trials and trouble * of his latter years : — "At ten minutes to five yesterday morning this much-respected gentleman whs summoned front the paries of uicknetss , mid the varied trials and anxieties of this mortal sphere , at the age of fifty yearn . Culmly and well-nigh imperceptibly ebbed the btrcam of life into
the va « t ocean of the Eternal . Hushed , tranquillized the Huflenr ' s feelings ! On the bosom of the faith he loved eo ardently , and advocated with « real which never tired , he luid hits weary heud , and uhook oil the burden uf mortality . Amid the teurs of his now mourning circle , and the honour of those who hailed hint as the teacher and cherished him ns the friend , he rose above the . fogs and conflicts of a BtiMunury , into the nobler atinouphure of an unfading- world .

The Poor Ministers Turned Into Tyrants. ...
THE POOR MINISTERS TURNED INTO TYRANTS . For once in the Anti-papal debates the contest has assumed an aspect of reality . Indeed , if the position of parties should continue , Ministers , and the ex-Ministers who stand opposite to them , will be forced to abandon the theatrical battle of pretences , undercover of which the public business of the country is suffered to stand still . We do not know how long the reality will be suffered to continue ; it is possible that before the words which we are now writing come before the eyes of our readers , the reality may be given up , as a thing too strong for statesmen unaccustomed to it , but even if it should be transient , it will not be a profitless work to take a note of the position as parties stand . The whole story of the Ministerial agitation against the Papal aggression is highly characteristic of the party which set it going , and it has been made to answer its purpose . The Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1847 originated with Lord Lyndhurst in 1846 , and was adopted by the Whig Government in the following year . We have before quoted at length the passage in which Lord Lyndhurst explained that a principal object of that act was , to complete the freedom initiated in the Emancipation Act of 1829 , by authorizing the admission of bulls from Rome appointing Roman
Catholic Bishops in this country ; Lord John Russell ' s declaration in Parliament , that it was absurd to prohibit ecclesiastical titles , has repeatedly been quoted . A draft of the bull fulfilling the intention sanctioned by the act of 1847 , and giving practical effect to Lord John ' s opinion of 1845 , was submitted to Lord Minto by the Pope in 1850 : the bull comes over to England —Lord John issues his notorious Durham letter , denouncing the aggression on the Queen , her crown and dignity—he succeeds in setting Protestant and Papist by the ears all over
the country ; and all public discussions , except Lord Duncan ' s window-tax agitation , arc merged in Lord John ' s Anti-papal outburst : a measure is to be introduced into Parliament ; to act upon the instigations of the incendiary letter is found to be impracticable as well as foolish , impolitic , and wicked ; and tb . e bill is cut down by its own author to a mire stock : he would now be glad to get oflby passing no more than the title , ( is z / hcliad carried a measure ; and all his energies in Parliament have been concentrated on the resistance to anv amendment which
should impart reality and foicc to the bill . Its nature , nay , its very insignificancy , was disguised by studied indistinctness : thus Lord John refused to exclude Ireland expressly ; but by making the measure applicable only to the Papal bull , which concerned England alone , Anti-Catholic legislation in Ireland was , we cannot say avoided , but evaded . Ity limiting the initiative to the Attorney-General , the Whigs secured the power of manoeuvring with " forbearance , " bo long an they should remain in office , and of driving their successors , with taunts of lax Protestantism , into some false position of tyrannical conduct . So stood the measure until Friday , last week .
Throughout the previous debates , the Irish Momhei' 8 had favoured the manoeuvres of Ministers , b y aiding them to resist the Tory attempts at rendering the bill effective . In the name of a Coercion Bill , Ministers obtained the aid of the the Tories against the attempts of the Irish members to nullify the measure altogether . Under the banner of coercion , they inarched the Tories against the Irish ; under the banner xif forbearance , they turned round and marched the Iriah ttguii ^ t the Tories . ' 1 he conduct of the Irian Members strikingly exemplifies the policy of the Liberals in general : "to Jreep out the Tones , " they consented to fall in with tile tricks of « imrty which trims between concession « nd coercion , palters between 1 'rotestantiwru and Poprry , shu / Hes between
