      application direct to our office , 10 , Wellington-street , Strand , London . , . It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters we receive .

      Saturday, June 21. The Dramatic Incident...

      Saturday , June 21 . The dramatic incidents which occasionally enliven the proceedings of the House of Commons have all occurred this session during the discussions on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill . Last night the House again went into- committee on the bill . The first portion of the debate was as dull and uninstructive as can well be imagined , being a repetition of previous discussions . Mr . Monsell raised a point which had twice before been decided , in moving a proviso to the second clause , confining the operation of the bill to temporal matters . The proviso was rejected .

      Ayes , 42 ; Noes , 160 . Majority , 118 . The clause was then put , and on a division there ¦ were— For the clause , 150 ; against it , 35 . Majority for , 115 . Mr . Shaman Crawford proposed to omit certain words at the end of clause 3 , and to add others which would give to all voluntary churches the power of assuming the title of archbishop or bishop . Sir George Grey objected to the addition on the ground of its ambiguity . A division was called for , when there

      were—For the amendment , 33 ; against it , 118 . Majority against , 85 . The clause was then agreed to without a division . Mr . Shaman Crawford moved the introduction of a clause exempting Ireland from the operation of the measure . He claimed exemption for Ireland because there had been no aggression on the church of that country , because their hierarchy was of the duration or" centuries , because the Roman Catholic religion in Ireland was the national religion , because this bill must destroy the religion of the people and endanger civil rights , and because it would weaken

      the effect of the union and increase the national expenditure . The Solicitou-Generai .. objected that it would be " inconsistent" to exempt Irelund , on the ground that there ought not to be one law for England and another for Ireland . The opposition was strong in speeches , Ministers permitting all the talk to be on that side . These speeches were heard in peace until Mr . Henry Dkummonb , unable to sit still and listen to the assertion that Irish Catholics wore loyal to the Queen , rose , and in a few minutes threw the House into confusion . He said he would not be tempted to go into the question of loyalty ; and immediately entered upon it : —

      rules of the House permitted him to say so—it was anything but honourable . ( Cries of ' Order . ' ) He would not be put down . ( Cries of * Order , ' and Chair . ' )" The Chairman , and after him Sir Robert Inglis , Mr . Keogh , and Lord John Russell , interposed , and the affair seemed settled , when Mr . O 'Flaherty , after offering to withdraw the obnoxious expression , said , he could not allow Mr . Druramond or any other persons to use expressions such as the honourable member was in the custom of using without—( Loud cries of " Order . " ) He would not be put down . ( Loud and continued cries of " Chair . It turned out after all that Mr . Drummond was not out of order , and he , therefore , continued his speech ,

      telling Lord John that the real difficulty was the Irish Church , that there had been no aggression in Ireland , and that the operation of the bill ought not to extend to that country . The debate then sailed smoothly along . Lord John Russell frankly admitted that he did not see , in point of argument , the possibility of any logical defence of the bill , unless Ireland were included in it . Mr . Reynolds , as usual , spoke very little to the question , but much at Mr . Anstey , whom he designated as the knight of the " Brazen Sword , " an order conferred on him by the Pope . Were the Catholics of England to be told by «• a religious exotic of that kind " what course they were to pursue ? As to loyalty to the throne : —

      " If the Pope invaded this kingdom ( great laughter ) , the Roman Catholics would meet him and his troops in the battlefield . ( Renewed laughter , and ironical cheering . ) He understood the sneer of the honourable member for Youghal . He repeated his statement , that if the Pope , aided by any number of troops , attacked this kingdom , he ( Mr . Reynolds ) would shed his blood in defence of the Queen . ( Ironical cheers . ) " Were not honourable gentlemen acquainted with history ? Did they not know who commanded the British fleet against the Spaniards , and that it was a Roman Catholic , and an ancestor of the noble lord the member for Arundel ? ( Hear , hear . )" "When the bill was carried Government would not dare to prosecute in Ireland .

      " If he was a Catholic bishop ( great laughter ) , and he wished he was , he would give the noble lord notice that twenty-four hours should not elapseafter the bill became law before he had incurred its highest penalties . ( ' Oh , oh / ' )" The only reply which Mr . Anstey deigned to make to the personalities of Mr . Reynolds was , that he should pass them in silence , and " Leave to the honourable member the reputation of having done more than any one else to lower the character of debates in that house . ( Great cheering . )" Mr . Campbell's rising was the signal for a tremendous row ; no one could be heard ; ultimately obliging him to sit down . The Committee divided , when there

      were—For Mr . Crawford ' s clause , 60 ; against it , 255 . Majority against , 195 . Sir Robkrt Intglis moved a long clause—a small bill in itself—enacting , with a great deal of fuss , that it shall not be lawful for any servant of the Crown to allow any rank or precedence , or to u « e any title of honour in respect of any ecclesiastical dignity in the Church , to any person not having her Majesty ' s license for such title ; with a proviso in favour of any dependency ceded to the Crown where special provision shall have been made by the treaty for the maintenance of the Church of Kome therein . Lord J . Russell offered various objections to this amendment , and upon a division there were—For the amendment , 121 ; against it , 16 (> . Majority against , 45 . The Chairman reported progress ; the House resumed , and adjourned at a quarter past ono o ' clock .

      " He would refer to certain curious expressions , in which ltiiman Catholics said , ' You cannot charge uh with a divided loyalty . No such thing . We have one undivided allegiance to the Pope of Rome . ' ( Cries of ' Head , read . . No , no . ( Yes , yes . ) There were ho many IMo Nonocs . ( A laugh . ) ' We respect the authority of the Vioar of Christ infinitely more than we do any musty act of Parliament . ' ( ' Hear , and a laugh . ) ' But this is " divided allegiance . " It is nothing of the kind ; for we consider that our " allegiance" is duo to the Roman Throne first of all . ' ( Hear , hear . ) Was that enough ? ( A laugh . ) ' And , secondly , and in an infinitely lower seiine , as to mere earthly states and governments , they are as nothing , and leas than nothing , compared to our devoted loyalty to the

      Holy See . Perish a thousand Kings , and Queens , and Parliaments '—anymore ?—' rather than that it should be in the slightest degree tarnished . As the spiritual exceeds the temporal in importance , so docs our loyalty to the Holy See transcend that which wo pay to the Queen of Knglnnd . ' ( Cries of 'Hear , ' ' The authorV ' Name . ' ) Members had no right whatever to have any name— ( ' Oh ! ' ) — none whatever . As a matter of courtesy he might give it , but they had no right about the matter . He would not give the name upon compulsion . { A laugh . ) It wiih a Catholic print ( the Catholic Vindicator ) that Hi » ok (! in these terms . ( ' Oh ' . ' and a laugh . )" Mr . O'I'Yaiikkty interrupted the Hpnuker : ¦—" With his usual feeling for Catholics he had quoted from a newspaper , one which he ( Mr . O'Flaherty ) never hcurd of ; and it wub anything but fair , mat , und—if the

      After The Polish Revolution, Nicholas De...

      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 into

      THE PUTTING AN END TO THE EUROPEAN REVOLUTION . - ¦ - 11 end must be put to the revolution : " such was the phrase uttered by Nicholas at the late moru archical 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 .

      execution . In 184 & , 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 an end to the 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 Goergey , 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 for immediate action . At a given signal the decisive blow will be struck ; it will fall at once , unexpectedly . In no time , an army of about 600 , 000 German troops , exclusive of the Austrians in Italy , will occupy the whole line of the Ithine , to hold in check the turbulent French ; whilst the Muscovite hordes will advance towards the West , and on their way sweep off the name of constitutionalism , to reenthrone everywhere between the Vistula and the Rhine , in the

      heart of Europe , the pure and genuine Absolutism of yore . And then , having restored order throughout Germany , and thus insured the rear of that enormous mass of armed slaves , it will inundate France , there to finish the crowning work of demoniacal restoration . Such , in our conjecture , not unguided by facts , is the approaching future for the European nations , as it ; is . set down in the Absolutist scheme . The present aspect of things in Europe does not present the least impracticability in the despotic plan . On the part of the monarchical conspirators w see a perfect harmony , both of means and ends ; on that of the Peoples we have Heen nothing but division , mistrust , if not dislike towards each other .

      Is Poland , for instance , to make even a diversion to that formidable undertaking of allied despotism ? Whenever it did so , that unfortunat e country was always abandoned and sacrificed by those whom it saved : thus we should scarcely wonder if , enlightened b y the bitter lessons of tin : jmst , it moved not at all 1 la our own day we have Keen Hungarians , officials of the late revolutionary Government , disown their fellow soldiers in the late war , the countrymen of John Sobi « 'hk » mid of Bern .
