For four days past, a public debate has been carried on in the Universalist Church jn Lombard street, Philadelphia by the Rev. Mr M'Caufey, of Kentucky, and the Rev. M- Kneel ana, of this city The for mer gentleman, we believe, is of the Pres byterian denomination, and the letter, one of the pastors of the Universalist Church The point in dispute was, whether the pun ishment of the wicked will be eternal or not. Three clergymen acted as moderators. The parties met twice a day, and were en gaged in the debate two or three bouts, at each meeting, speaking, alternately, half an hour at a time. During the greater part of the debut*, which was closed last eve ning, the house was crowded to excess. Nut having been present at the discussion, except for a short time, we cannot pretend to express any opinion relative to the man ner iu which the disputants acquitted them selves. It is said, that one or mere stenograph. ,er* were present, taking notes.
