DR . JELF AND PROFESSOR MAUBICE . No man can predict the end of the theological contest now raging throughout the Church respecting the eternal or everlasting punishment of tlie 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 raised , 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 Eno-land .
For instance , where is lodged the authority which , shall determine what is and what is not the doctrine of the Church P Has there arisen a Sorbonne in the halls of King ' s College ? Does Dr . Jelf play the part of Pope in this matter , and is the Council a College of Cardinals P The Bishod " of London is a member of the council , and tho superior of Mr . Maurice . What is his function in the matter ? He concurred in the decision of the council j will he take away Mr . Maurice ' s license , and prevent him from preaching unsound and unsettling doctrine in Lincoln ' s Inn Chapel , as well as in tho lecture-rooms in Somerset HouseP
Then there is the Court of Arches . Once we saw a liigh dignitary of tho Church compelled to go into that court and ask Sir Herbert Fust what was tho doctrine of his Church on the subject of Baptismal Regeneration ; and we can imagine tho archbishops and bishops trooping to Sir John Dodson , imploring him to state , authoritatively , what the Church really predicates respecting eternal punishment . Formerly Sir Herbert Fust had to play the part of Mother Church , and tho judicial committee of the Privy Council that of the hyperchurch . Nobody now seems to know whether King ' s College is a new tribunal of heresy ; or whether Mr . Maurice can talco his case into tlio Arches Court , or whether there is in the Church any contnietent authority whatever to decide tlio
question . Tho fact ia there is no such authority . The case itself is extremely intricate . A . la V as avc can make out , from tho papers published on both aides , J ) r . Jolt * upholds , " on tho authority of tlio Scripture , that tho damned arc damned to " nevor-unding" torments , lie believes in a real substantial pit of Hell , whoro tho impenitent are " tormented with . Jire and brimstone , in tho prosoneo of tho holy angels , and in tho presence oi the Lttinl ) ; " while " the smoke , of their torments aHceiulotli m > for over and evor . " 'He speaks oi

Satubday , . November 12 .. We , have no news from the seat of war , and that is pretty generally held as confirming the brief accounts of the Turkish victories . Prince Stirbey , determined not to submit to the bullying of the Russian generals , and finding bis position incompatible with his allegiance to the Porfce , has quitted the country , and has arrived at Vienna , leaving tbe administration of affairs in the hands of an Executive Council of Ministers .
Prince Gprtschakoff , irritated by tlie departure of the Hospodar , summoned the Secretary of State who presided over the Executive Council , and , in a few sharp word ? , communicated his orders to him , directing to repeat them immediately to the council . This the secretary immediately did in the following words : — " Gentlemen , I am directed by Prince Gortschakoff to say to you that lie requires you and those under you , to attend strictly and simply to administrative duties . If . any man , from the band downwards to the deputy-major , quit his post , or meddle with politics , or say or do aught hostile to Russia , the Prince will hang him without trial—( le pendra sans jugement . " ) I can guarantee the truth of the above statement .
The statement is again put forth , that a camp at Toulon , under General Canrobert , is being formed . The Daily News publishes the following : — "It is staled , on good authority , that the J Fronch government has decided in council that 25 , 000 men shall bo Hunt to Turkey , ii" the I'Imperor of iiussia should persist in a course of aggression , or demand pecuniary indemnity as the condition of his discontinuing it . No order ban boon given by tlio MiniHler of War on tlio subject . Tho sending or not . sending of a body of troopa will depend partly on the stale ol' affairs oil the Danube , and partly on tlie despatches from General Uaraguuy d Jlilliers . It will bo only when pacific means shall be no longer availing that it will make atill more open manilestntioiis than the sending of ( . lie ileet through the . Dardanelles . "
