A considerable part of the stock for the building of his mail-tube has already been subscribed by , American , capitalists . , . ' - Mr . Pairatfc has invented a tubular life-raft . It was tried on tlid Serpentine on Wednesday . It is composed , of vulcanized India rubber tubes , enclosed in canvass cases
and nattitigSj so arranged and lashed to cross spars as to form , when extended , an . excellent contrivance , not only for floating on the ' water , but being rowed like a boat , and capable of being conveyed with safety through a surf or heavy sea . The object of the inventor , when he turned his attention to -the subject , was to provide an apparatus which , in the case of disasters at sea , could be made quickly available for the saving of human life , which could be easily lowered into the water , and when there , capable of sustaining a great number of persons , without danger of sinking .

In the month ended the 10 th ult . there were as many as 83 , 857 cwt . of potatoes imported , being a great increase on the preceding month , when only 86 , 803 cwt . were imported . They are free of duty .

A specimen of the metallic compound paving , which appears to have given so much satisfaction in the United Sfetc ?) on account of its being free from mud , dust , noise , or danger to horses , is now being laid down in Threadneedle-street , a trial having " , we understand , been already made at a coal merchant ' s wharf at Greenwich , where it has been exposed to heavy traffic during the last summer , and where tho repxitaiion it acquired in America has been fully sustained .

TO HEADERS AND CO-RESPONDENTS . It is impossible to acknowledge the mass of letters we teceivp Their insertion is often delayed , owing to a press of matterand when omitted , it is frequently from reasons quite ind p pendent of the merits of the communication . : e " No notice can betaken of anonymous communications . What ever is intended for insertion must be authenticated bv tho name and address of the writer ; not necessarily for Dublicatinn but as a guarantee of his good faith .

I)R. Jelf And Professor Maurice. No Man ...
I ) R . JELF AND PROFESSOR MAURICE . No man can predict the end of the theological contest now raginff tliroughout the Church respecting the eternal or everlasting punishment of the damned . Dr . Jelf and the council of King ' s College have deposed Professor Maurice , and both parties have appealed to the public . Thus an immense discussion is raisecf , permeating through , all religious circles , and having peculiar fascinations for two classes of minds—the refined and the controversial ; and thus the great dogma , of utter damnation will have to bear the severest test of modern times— -public examination . But although this is the central fact in the contest , there are other and subsidiary facts not less liable to damage the Church of England . For instance , where is lodged the authority which shall determine what is and what is not the doctrine of the Church ? Has there arisen a Sorbonne in the halls of King ' s College ? Does Dr . Jelf play tho part of Pope in this matter , and is the Council a College of Cardinals ? The BishocC of London is a member of the council , and the superior of Mr . Maurice . " What is his function in the matter ? He concurred in the decision of the council ; will he take away Mr . Maurice ' s
license , and prevent him from preaching unsound and unsettling doctrine in Lincoln ' s Inn Chapel , ; is well as in tho lecture-rooms in Somerset House P Then there is tho Court of Arches . Once we saw a high dignitary of the Church compelled to go into that . " court and ask Sir Herbert Fust wliafc was the doctrine of his Church on the subject of Bjiptianial Regeneration ; and we can imagine tho archbishops and bishops trooping to Sir John Dodson , imploring him to state , authoritatively , what the Cl lurch real ly predicates respecting otcmal punishment . Formerly Sir Herbert Fuet had to play tho part of Mother Church , and tho judicial committee of tho Privy Council that of the hypcrchurch . Nobody now seems to know whether King ' s College in a new tribunal of heresy ; or whether Mr . Ma \ irico can take hi » case into the Arch oh Court , or whether then ; is in the Church any competent authority whatever to decide tho question . Tho fact is there / a-no such authority . The case itself i « extivniely intricate . Ah '' ii * aa Are can ninko out , from tho papers published on both ni ( loH , Dr . Jelf upholds , On the authority of the Scripture , that tho dainnod are daumod to " nover-onaing" tormentH . He boliovoH in a real Hubntantial j > it of lloll , where ( he iinpouitont aro " tornuMttod wiihji . ro and brimslorte , in l-hc pr <' - rcmico of tho holy angels , and in tho presence ol llio Ljunb ; " whihi " tluj . smoke , of their torment * HHcondoth Vip for over and ovor .
