The debate of last night upon the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill was the most important of the session . Ministers , who had successfully resisted Mr . Walpole , were beaten by Sir Frederick Thesiger on two successive divisions by large majorities , and they yielded one victory without a contest ; . The Irish members decamped in a body , and leit the opposition to all restrictive clauses in the hands of Lord John and his friends . 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 by 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 third rejected by large majorities . The third caused a row , Parliamentary . Mr .
Hayter , Secretary of the Treasury , had given Mr . ELeogli to understand that there was 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 , immensel } ' scandalized , and sharp words were exchanged . It was obvious that Mr . Hayter had duped Mr . Keogh—of course , " without authority !"
The result \ va ? , 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
Fkedeuick TiiESiGiiit moved his first amendment , to substitute for the words . " a certain brief or rescript , " the words , " certain briefs or rescripts , " in the preamble , thus making the act of general application . Lord John IIusseli , 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
first—For the amendment , 13 / 5 ; against it , 100 . Majority againat Ministers , 35 . The second amendment rendered any person who should publish any " bull , brief , rescript , or letter apostolical , " liable to a fine of £ 100 . This was opposed by the Soi . icitok-Gknbkal , in a lachrymose speech , in which he told the story of the aggression for the hundredth time . The House divided as follows— For the amendment , 105 ; aguinst it , 10 !) . Majority against Ministers , 5 ( i . The third amendment was suffered to pass without a division , Lord J . Rushioij , intimating that he should take the house of the House on the third reading . This lust amendment gives power to any one to prosecute with , the coiiBunt of the law officers of the Orown . The House then resumed the adjourned debate on Mr . John Stuart ' H proposed addrcHS to the Queen to add two lay members to the Chancery CounniwHion , which was ultimately agreed to .

PAXTONf ON THE FUTURK OF THE CRYSTAL PALACK . " We have a pamphlet before uh , published byMensrH . Bradbury and JKvnns , from Mr . Paxton himself , on the Future of the Crystal Palnee ; of" which , had it reached us earlier , we should have printed the whole . He would make of it . a Winter Park and Harden : tlniH adding the ncal of his authority to what heretofore lin * been speculation . He nays the whole lliiiu ; ; : ouid be done for £ 12 , 000 a-year ; and he paints t . lie following inviting picture , which we hope to nee realized : —
" In this winter park and garden the trees and plants might be so arranged as to give great diversity of views and picturesque effect . Spaces might be set 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 shade 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 lection of living birds from all temperate climates , and the science oi geology , so closely connected with the study 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 see 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 .

Telegraphic accounts of the loth of June , from Toronto , state that in the . Legislative Assembly Mr . Caylor had moved an address to the Queen , prsiyjng for the restoration of that protection which Canada formerly enjoyed in the English market .

The council of the Toronto Board of Trade were , on the 13 th , about to memorialize the Government against the project of clo . sing the canals to Anieiican vessels , and in favour of differential duties , to encourage the tiade of the St . Lawrence . A terrific typhoon occurred at Ceylon on the 1 st of May , and at Madras on the 5 th . Nearly twenty vessels weie lost , amongst which is the Falkland steamer .

THE PUTTING AN END TO THE EUROPEAN REVOLUTION . ^ " An end must he put to the revolution : " such was the phrase uttered by Nicholas at the late monarchical conspiracy in Warsaw . Whosoever thinks that those words escaped the lips of the Czar as a mere menace , neither knows his energy and audacity , nor comprehends the plain language of facts . At the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1830 , Nicholas resolved to invade France , and to put an end to the revolutionary propensity of her People ; he began the necessary preparations : the whole of his army—that of the kingdom of Poland not excepted—was put on the footing of war , ready to proceed towards the West ; and but for the revolutionary outbreak in that kingdom , he would have realized his autocratic will . After the Polish revolution , Nicholas declared that he would put an end to the quasi-independent existence of the kingdom , though guaranteed by the treaty of Vienna , and if necessary " reduce her metropolis to a heap of ashes . " And behold , Poland now forms a mere province of his vast empire , whilst Warsaw is guarded by a formidable citadel , ready to put the Imperial threat inio
execution . In 1849 , when the war was waging in Hungary , and the Hungarians were victorious over the forces of the Hapsburgs , he again declared that he must put anendiothe rebellious aspirations of Hungarian independence : and behold , he pounced with his hordes upon the struggling nation ; and , through the superiority of his forces , aided by the treachery of Gocrgey , he succeeded in restoring Sebastiani ' s " reign of order" in that unfortunate country . These are facts which , in our estimation , leave no doubt as to the Czar ' s being as earnest now as he was on those previous occasions . His lieutenants of Austria and Prussia have been to Warsaw
and to Olmiitz , there to organize their plot against European Liberty and the progress of Humanity . Thus are they forging new fetters for the Peoples . Gigantic preparations are made lor immediate action . At a given signal the decisive blow will be struck ; it will fell at once , unexpectedly . In no time , an army of about 600 , 000 German troops , exclusive of the Austrian * in Italy , will occupy the whole line of the Rhine , to hold in check the turbulent French ; whilst the Muscovite hordes will advance towards the West , and on their way sweep oft the name of constitutionalism , to rctinthronc everywhere between the . Vistula and the Khine , the
heart of Europe , the pure and genuine Absolutism ol yore . And then , having restored order throughout Germany , and thus insured the rear of tl' |" enormous mass of armed slaves , it will iniin '" France , thereto finish the crowning work o demoniacal restoration . Such , in our conjecture , not unguidcd by i » ' is the approaching future for the European liatl , !! j '> as it is set down in the Absolutist scheme . - ^ present aspect of things in Kuropcdoes not l ) ies ^ the least impracticability in the despotic plan , v ^ the part of the monarchical consp irators we se perfect harmony , both of means and ends ; on _ ol the Peoples we have neen nothing but divisi ,
mistrust , if not dislike towards each other . Is Poland , for instance , to make even a « lV " sion to that formidable undertaking of allu >( j c pot ism P Whenever it did so , that niifo rttin « i country was always abandoned and sacrifice ! ) those whom it saved : thiiH we should acart j wonder if , enlightened by the bitter lessons " past , it moved not at all !
