Religious Discussions.
--A letter from Nassau, in the Charleston Courier gives some information about literary matters in England, in which is included the following:
By far the most important subject is that of the alleged revolution in progress in England relative to the belief in the historical authenticity of the Bible.
Over a year ago a series of powerful articles were published in book form, entitled "Essays and Reviews," in which the accuracy of the historical portions of the Old Testament were severely criticised.
The strict constructionists took alarm.
Numerous replies appeared, and the authors of "Essays and Reviews" were called before the Ecclesiastical Court to answer the charge of heresy.
To the surprise of many the accused were acquitted and according to the Westminster, the Court laid down the principle that "the clergy of the Established Church are not chilged to maintain every part of the Bible as an infallible record of past history, and every word as

--A Colored Demonstration--A letter from Nassau, the 18th, to the Charleston Courtier, announces the sale arrival of the blockade-running steamer Ruby at Havana.
The Ruby was obliged to put into Matanzas during heavy weather.
The letter says:
While there the Federal cruiser Sonora came in and anchored so near her that there was scarcely room for the two vessels to swing clear of each other.
Capt Pest being determined to test the intentions of his neighbor, threw some shavings, &c., into his furnace, and made a smoke, whereupon the Federal got up steam, beat his men to quarters, and ran out his guns.
Capt. Peat applied to the Spanish Admiral for protection, and was actuated that he should not be molested while he was within Spanish jurisdiction.
The British war steamer Ariadne, just then arriving, took charge of the Ruby, and in broad daylight col. vowed her to Havana.
The affair created much indignation among the British and Spaniards, and much impotent wr

--We have received Nassau (N. P.) papers of the 9th inst. The Nassau Guardian publishes an order which has been reissued from the Colonial office by the Duke of Newcastle, requiring that commanders of belligerent ships shall obtain the permission of the local authorities be fore entering the ports, roadsteads, or waters of the Bahamas out islands.
The editor congratulates his readers on the fact that the attention of the Home Government has been turned to the subject, and that the order has been issued to enforce the neutrality laws and prevent Federal cruisers from laying in wait for merchantmen in British waters.

Business at Nassau.
--A letter from Nassau published in the Charleston Courier, says:
To give you some idea of the business of the place, Major W. told me the other day that there were one thousand tons of bacon and pork here belonging to the Government and awaiting shipment; much of this is spoiled, and much more destined to be in the warm summer months approaching.
There are eight or ten vessels now in port loading.
Three of them have just arrived from England, and more are expected.
It is thought that there will be twenty-five or thirty vessels running between this place and Wilmington during the coming summer.
I fear that all of our cotton will be taken away without giving back much substantial benefit, and we will be left at the close of the war without a bale for credit.
There are some facts with reference to the sending out of Confederate bonds which it seems to me should be brought to the attention of the Government.
They are sacrificed out here and in Europe
