Oorrespondence London Times, Caino, Jan. 2.—The fall of Pleyna had an effect in Egypt only second to its cffect in Tur- key proper. All classcs have been Intenscly interested in the vvar, and Arabs and forelgners allke have followed its fortunes with the great- cst eagernesn, Tho Reuter telcgrams, which are published twice or cven thrice a day, ure also issued In Arabic on broad sheets, and are sold largely by strect hawkers throughout Alcxandria and Calro. CGlovernment telexrams have heen distributed from tlme to time, The surrcnder of Kars, a city sncred to Mahommedans s thesymbol of the Asiatic Em- plre, and only sccond In importance Iu their eyes to Stamooul itself, was tompered by reports of apocryphal victorlea in Bulearia which history has falled to confirm. The capture ot Plevna has now conviuced the moat Incredulous that the Crescent §s ylelding to the Cross, and the demand for peaco is strong in Egypt. Fears are openly expressed that the Turks In Bulgaria willtie driven Into their fortresses, that the Musslans will cross the Balkans, mask Adrian- ople, and, with Greck and Scrvian ald, take Constantinople itself befora the end of the winter. People in Egypt are by no means altogether Turkish {n sympathy. Apart from the Greck clement, strong fn numbers and commerefal {n- fluence, and now cager for a declaration of war from Qreece, there I8 a large anti-Turkish party among the forelgners, who malntain that the trie Egyptfan policy is onc ot separatism. While Turkey bns shown no signs of progress, while her Bultans hiave been sunk in sloth, her resources wasted {n extravagant and unproduct- {ve expenditure, the Egyptian ruler has labored Jatc and early to developo his country, and a heavy debt {s to some extent excused by a large fucraase In rallways, canuls, and reclalmed land. The onoe country has been steadily going down hill: the other, with all her blunders, {s more civillzed than she was ten years ago. Thia belng so, the forelzn Separatist party arguc that Egyot should psrt company irom her Suzerain, ~ The middle class notive— that Is, the class of small farmers and petty merchants—shares the same opinfon, The olif faith in Stamboul as a reliclous eentro of the Empire has gradually cooled beforo the Inilu- enees of commerces and Calro, and atlll morc Mucea, are suflicient to satisfy his relicious long- fugs. The fanatical faith, the outburst of which lias been so muchdreaded, stiil slumbers, and the Euy‘)unn only asks for pence, The war has chiolly offected him by a lang nud terrible depression of trade, while its cessa- tion fmplica a suspensfon of the con- scription, a relef from taxation, and a return of materlal prosperity, The desive for neace I8 a8 often us not accomoanied by a wish lor Engglish occupation.

All de- nominations of Christians, if we understand their pusitiona correctly, cuncur in the opluion that tho consequences of onr conduct In thls 1ife extend Into the lmmortal atate. The Auni- Milationists deny fmmortality to the wicked, clalming that tmmortality ts a gift of the apirit to the good, and not n natural Inlerituuce, Asido from those who thus belleve, all Chris- tians, of every name, secin united in the ovlnlun that the punishment duc for sin committed in this existence extends futo the next unless that phuishment has been fully received. You often hear people say, I do not belfeve that very bad people are to be al unce taken into Heaven; “that the good aud bad are all to cnter upon & level when they pass out of this world,” ate. And when-anything of this kind ts sald T Involuntarily ask, I wonder to whom this criticlam refers?™ 1 supposo It Is meaut to apply to Universalists, but Universale {sts du uot teach any such doctrive as that; certainly I do not.
