Shamrock at Sandy Hook .

Once more has the warning Of The
sun been needed! 1t is reported that
Shamrock Ill. will not be anchored in
the unlucky corner off Tompkins-
vile, Staten Island. Straight from the
Erie Basin she will go down to the Hook.
Now THE Sun is sorry. 1t had no right
to reveal the whereabouts of the Inflated
anchorage. Sir THOMAS, whom we salute
for his arrival Of yesterday. steers clear
of it, and our patriotism puts pins and
needles in our conscience.
Well, though Tompkinsville be gone
to Sandy Hook, we still rely on Reliance.
Firm is our orthodox faith in Neptune,
earnest are our prayers, and bright are
our hopes to get that barrel OF bluefish
from Captain AL ROBBINS Of Absecom
Light. The big bull nose OF the de-
fender has no terrors for US. 1t will be-

The Doctrine Of He'll.

In view Of the recent adoption by the
Presbyterian General Assembly of the
revision of the Westminster Confession,
it is rather remarkable that at the Brook
lyn Presbytery any objection should
have been made to candidate for ordi-
nation, on the ground that his views as to
future damnation are indefinite.
The very purpose Of that revision was
to give something Of indefniteness to
the doctrine Of future retribution. The
theory of the revisers, and consequently
OF the oonsenting General Assembly, was
that while the old Confession laid stress
on the terrors of the justice of GOD it did
Offset it with sufficiently comfortable
declaration Of the Divine love and mercy.
As to the duration of future punishment,
this candidate said he had been un-
able to reach a positive opinion, and he
was willing to leave that question open.
think there is enough to preach of sin
and salvation he answered his examin-
ers, without going into speculations.
The young man was accepted by the
unanimous votes Of the Presbytery, with
the exception Of the single member who
had expressed his dissatisfaction with
the candidates loose views of hell; and
undoubtedly the Brooklyn Presbytery
represented in its decision the prevalent
sentiment of Presbyterians at this time,
