LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22. THE Confederate Congress met at Richmond on the 7th inst. It could not but be a gloomy meet ing. Members were there from all parts of the territory claimed by Mr. Davis, but not one of them could report that in his State the cause of Secession was prosperous ;—not one could say that since last year a portion of his State had not been recovered to the Union. Slowly as it seems to the natural impatience of spectators, but with surprising rapidity if we consider the vast area of the military operations, the dimensions of the Confederacy are contracting, and careful observers, who have always rated Mr. SEWARD'S prophecies at their just value, are now computing the probable existence of the Secession Government by months. Mr. Davis's address, so far as we have it, reflects all the gloom of the situation. Vicksburg, which Mr. Davis promised his friends in Mississippi to defend to the last, is gone, and with it Port Hudson. East Tennessee, from which he declared he would expel the Federate if it took the whole Confederate army to do it, is per manently lest, and there is no more to be said than that the people of the Confederate States will resist to the death. But here the weakness of the Confederate Government is betrayed. Mr. Davii is quite justified in say ing, " The enemy refuse proposals for the only " peace possible between its. The only hope for " peace now is in the vigour of our resistance." As between him, his ministers and generals, and the Government of the United States, this is a correct account of the matter. But every day makes it plain that the interests of the Southern people and the Richmond Government are not so identical aa Mr. Davis assumes, and in State after State it is found that there is a peace possible between the Southern people and the powerful Government under which, until lately, they enjoyed prosperity. We have ofteu shown from the Richmond news papers that there is a strong party in the South desirous of peace by a restoration of the Union, and last Friday we produced evidence of the same fact from testimony furnished by the correspondents of a contemporary friendly to the cause of the South. The people of the South were. carried into a gi gantic enterprise by their leaders without being first consulted ; they have been harried with levies, conscriptions, requisitions, and impress lonia, and a is t9lerabl,y cleat that, having become convinced that Secession is • failure, they will make no more sacrifices for it than they can help. It is this fact, the unelastic, passive, indolent dis position of the people, that is distressing theConfe dente Government. Having previously manifested itself politically, it now appears in the army. This was seen in an especial manner in the demoraliza tion of the troops at the battle of Missionary Ridge, in which the Confederates were driven from • position deemed impregnable, with the loss of only one thousand killed and wounded. The great number of desertions to the Federate on that occasion has also made a painful impression. The Rkhmend Whig, commenting on these matters, observes, "We are getting into deep waters, and " a feeling of dread is shaking the souls of the " people." Of the persons in office—those who have led the Southern States into their present predicament—this is no doubt true enough. But if the feeling were very general—if the people at large believed that this was, as President Davis says, a war for " home, liberty, and independence," it would not be necessary to resort to the violent measures by the aid of which the Richmond Go vernment maintains itself. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIIITY.—There is now to be seen in the garden of this society. atSouth Kensiagtoo, a hunch of fruit of the West Indian bewail (masa Caves (SAW of unusual size. It is sft. io eireorcfereuce at the broad end of the bunch, and weighs 861bs. (5011:e., we be lieve, being reckoned a very fine bunch). Most people are under the impression that it take. a very long course of years to get fruit from the Wilma in England. The fruit mow in the Horticultural Garden may dispel this notion. Mr. P. Hird, F.R. H.S., Byfieet, Surrey, who hag sent the fruit for exhibitioo, received some smell plaids from the West Indies is September, 1862, sod under the skilful earl tore of hie gardener, Mr. Carr. ose has produced this enor mous fruit. Is fact, the bunch is little leas io size than the tree which produced it. The plant is now 4ft. 6io. In height, and the hooch about Mt. Thi s b unc h o f f ru i t, which bad to be carefully supported while on the tree, is now is the cooservatory. uoderotand that it hi deitioed for pre sentatioe to the Qineo, so that an eerly visit will be meow sary before it is taken from the garden. Apropos of tropi cal froita—three very interesting panitiogs are now to be seen is the council-room, by • M. Goons, who having passed much time in tropical countries has painted most of the remarkable fruits and flowers. Those now in the society's room are carefully and faithfully executed repre seatetioa• in oil of these obifcts, and good as works of art. SOUTH KcNsinoTow bloastar.—The north court barn bees cloned for some time, in order that it may be re arranged and decorated.

REPLY OF THE EMPEROR TO THE ADDRESS FROM THE SENATE. PARIS, DISC. 22. The Emperor made the following reply to the address of the Senate, presented by the deputation yesterday : "Good is the sole motive power of my actions both at home and abroad. I desire the appeasing of passions with concord and union. I direct all my wishes to the moment when the great questions which divide governments and peoples will be pacifically solved by European arbitremeat. This wish was that of Napoleon, when he wrote from St. Helena, that to fight in Europe is to make civil war.' May not this great thought, a Utopia in the past, shortly become a reality It is always an honour to proclaim a principle tend ing to remove the prejudices of another age. Let us unite our efforts for this noble end, and let us ouly study obstacles to vanquish them, and incre dulity to confound it." The Moniteltr of this morning publishes the cir cular of M. Drouyn de Lhuys, dated Dec. 8, the sense of which agrees with the analysis already published by the journals. The Right Hon. W. F. Cowper.

Leonora Caroline Digby, wood daughter of Lord and Lady Digby, with Mr, Baricg, is filed to take place on the sth of next mouth. this occasion 65 have pealed, a result which the council cannot but regard as eminently satisfactory. One-third of the commissions having been announced for the Royal Engineers, the 7f cadets first in order of merit who elected for that service are recommended for it sc cordiogly ; the remainder are reoommeoded for commissions in the Royal Artillery. The examiner in fortification con siders the examination in that subject very satisfactory, giving evidence of very careful and thorough instruction, and generally of diligence and ability on the part of the cadets. The examiner in surveying reports that a fair pro portion of the class have done their work with the required degree of accuracy. The council are happy to observe that there are no failures in this subject. The examiner in chemistry considers that the resu lt of the first division is very fair, bat reports the majority of the papers of the second division as of very inferior quality. In natural sciences the examiner reports an evident defi ciency of reading, as well as of practical study, especially in the branch of practical geology. The above subjects were included in the examinations for commissions. In those that follow, the gentlemen cadets of the second or third class were finally examined, and the marks gained in them will be carried forward to their final examioation. In mathe matics the examiner considers the result as eminently malls. factory. Scene of those who have obtaioed the highest marks exhibit the two cooditions of industry and mathe matical power, and should they pursue further their mathematical tudies the examiner is of opinion that they are capable of attaining considerable scientific distinction. The examiner in practical geometry reports the answering of the cadets to have been better than on any former occasion in which he had examined.

A few weeks back a case occurred in which the Custom-house authorities refused to receive Exchequer bills in payment of revenue, although their validity for s uch payments after the lame of six months from the time of issue is distinctly stated. The complaint to which this gave rise mains to be followed by the requisite correction, the commimioners of customs having just published an order that these securities shall be so received in each half year succeeding that in which they are dated. In London they are to be left ooe day for examination, and at the pro- vincial ports such time as may be necessary for their trans mission is halves by poet to and from London. THE DANISH CONSTITUTION. ALTONA, Dm. 22. The electoral law comprised in the constitution of the 18th ult. has been promulgated in Schleswig under the royal sanction of the 4th inst. . . The West of England papers record the death of Mr. John Holman, as eminent machant, of Topsham, near Exeter, and a princely benefactor of that town. He was chiefly instrumental in originating and sustaining them useful shipping insuring clubs known as the Western Clubs. Colonel You.; R. E., then read the following report from Major-General Sandham, lieutenant-governor of the institution :—" I have the honour to report to your Royal Highness that the whole of the gentlemen mdete of the lint class, who have been under examinatioo, are qualified for oominiasious in regard to conduct, proficiency in military exercises, and discipline. The monthly returns of the junior classes throughout the half-year have shown that a satis factory emulation and exertion has existed generally throughout the academy, and the results of the examination of the classes show that those reporta were well founded. The responsible and sub-divisioul officers and corporals have carried out their duties satisfactorily, with but few exceptions, and io a manner to uphold discipline, and to en courage and keep up a proper feeling and bearing amongst the cadets ; and, on the whole, I feel justified in making a favourable report of the company, although I had occasion to bring to your Royal Highness's notice some irregularities which occurred about two months ago, and which I feel assured were confined to a very inconsiderable number of the cadets, and that the general feeling of the company is entirely opposed to those irregularities ; since that period the conduct of the company has bean irreproachable- The officers through. out the establishment have conducted their several duties with firmness and judgment. The professors and masters have shown a zeal and judgment in the performance of their responsible duties that has led to the favourable re ' port lam able to make to your Royal Highness. The drills and especial military exercises, riding gymnasium and re pointory drills, have been carried out as fully u the time that could be devoted to those inertness would admit." The successful candidates forcommiesions were then called to the front, and the number of marks gained by each in the several branches of study read over, when his Royal Highness announced that commissions would be awarded as follows :—For the Royal Engineers : Messrs.

A report was brought ep from the building act and general purposes committee io reference le the proposed brmation of new streets in Chelsea, and recommending the board to withhold their salient to the present applicatime. The report was agreed to. A report was brought no frail the streets committee submitting the proposed bye-lens of the Charing-croes RailwComny fertile managemeet ef their station, and recom me ndin g that those bye-laws should be approved by the board. The motion was pot and agreed to. A communication was received from the St. Gilee's district board, culling the attention of the board to the num ber of proposed new railways in the metropolis, mine by means of tunnels sad others by open cuttings, which were projected without any regard to a general system for the relief of the increasing traffic; and they suggested that a parliamentary committee or a government commission should be appointed to madder the beet mate of improving the thoroughfares between distant points. They also sag. gested that all rail way schemes should be subordinate to plans for iruprosing the thoroughfares of the metropolis. The commuoication was referred to the streets 000to.ittee for consideration and report. Some minor matters were disposed of, sod the board adjourned until the Ist January. The Duke of CAMMLIDGE then proceeded to distribute the prises, aa follows :.- For exemplary conduct: to Mr. Mascall, the gold Pollock medal, bearing an inscriptioo, "Founded by the British inhabitant, of Calcutta to comme morate the eminent services of Major-General Sir George Pollock, C.C. B , and awarded to the most deserving cadet of the season." For exemplary conduct: to Mr. J. Hunter, • regulation sword. The remaining prises, consisting of tel sextants, mathematical instruments, book s, At. : To Mr. , three prises, for first artillery, second artil lery, and first fortificarime • to Kr. Mowbtay. three prtus, for second artillery, second topography, and geolomr ; to Mr. Buekoill, three prizes, for chemistry , natural philoso phy, andpractical naschanics: to Mr. Rioelson, three Prim, for second mathematic, third fortifications, and first prac tical geometry; to Mr. Ottley, two prises, for first topogra phy and second fortifications ; to Mr. Goschen. two prism for Hindustani mid first mathematics ; to Mr. Pulfoird, two prises for first mathematics and practical geometry ; to Mr. Smith, for first French ; to Mr iop Ciu n t for mooed French ; to Mr. Haddock, for th ird ; to Mr. Howard, for first landscape drawing, and r. O'Grady, for second landscape drawing. His Royal Highness them ad dressed the cadets in the following terms. He observed— that it afforded Lim much pleasure to receive such favour able reports from the couocil of military education and the lientenantgovemor of that institution. He wished to impress upon the minds of those cadets who were about to receive commissions in her Majesty's service, that they must not ceesider their education completed. When they left those walls they would enter upon • career which demanded of them to motions their education and endeavour to keep pace with the spirit of the age. The corps of Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery were esseetially scientific, and this was in every respect an inventive and scientific age, therefore it was incumbent upon them, if they desired to be really efficient offers , to make themselves acquainted with those improvements and discoveries which were con stantly arising. Hs knew many Milers who had made themselves truly *destine after obtaining their cam =Minoan, and be hoped that the cadets present would on • future occasion emulate their example. But there was another important thing requisite to constitute a good and efficient officer, and that waa discipline. Without strict discipline the efficiency of the British army could sot be maintained, and be believed that an officer who was a strict disciplinarian would not only be more respected. but prove moat valuable to his corps. Whilst, however, be was • strict advocate of discipline, he would remind them that there were two ways to carry out discipline. It might be carried out ipso uonecemezdy severeasd offeasivemanner, or with tact, and an endeavour to make it as little offensive as possible. The most valuable officer was one who had the skill to adopt the latter plan. and who, whilst firmly maintaining that strict discipline which was essential for the welfare of the service, would still be respected and honoured by all those with whom be came into contact. His royal highness and staff then witnessed • series of gymnastic exercises carried out by • number of the cadet, under the able direction of Sergeant Griffith., and subsequently proceeded, at half past nee o'clock, to the common, where the troops were drawn up is review order as follws :—Tbe batteries of Royal Horse Artillery on the right, the field batteries on the left in close column of batteries at quarter intervals, and the infantry com prising the 13th Brimide, Royal Artillery. the Royal Engi neers, and the Woolwich division of Royal Marioes Light lofantry in the centre, io contiguous q uar t er distance column. The force having beau lamented, marched past at slow and quick time, and retired to barracks. The duke and staff then proceeded to the Royal Artillery riding-house, and withered the 6.3 cadets to whom commissions had bean awarded go through • course of equeetriso exercise, and after pertains of refresh emote at the officers' measroom his royal highness and the officers who accompanied him left Woolwich at three o'clock, amidst • mooed salute of 21 guns from the Green-hill I battery. HEALTH or CARDINAL IVDIRM•N. —A correspon dsat of the Cork Examiner writes :—" I hear that °ethical Wiseman in is such bad health that it is sot at all improba ble that the flat may come from Rome that his succes sor should be appoi n t e d, is it is said the media', has expressed a wish to retire. It is said that is this case Archelearson Maori* would become this Cardinal Archbishop of West minster." THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 22, 1863. POLAND. The following correspondence from Warsaw, dated 16th inst., is published in the Breslau Ga mete • I know not whether the Russian organs which regard Lithuania as pacified are themselves dupes, or endeavour to dupe Europe. That the national movement in Lithuania is not dead, is preyed by many facts, among others . brz incident which has lately occurred in the two high o at Kowno, where two of the professors who tried Ruasifice lion were beaten by the students, and called traitors, and now do not venture to appear in the town without a police escort. Lest Thursday a number of shops were closed in Bialystok by the soldiery, and afterwards searched. The question naturally arias), why these outrages ahoold have been committed in a pacified country. The officisl Dziennik, of Warsaw, has returned to the subject of torture in Po land. It now states that torture has been abo lished by an Impend ukase. I can affirm in the most positive manner that, notwithstanding this ukase, many persons have been tortured in Poland by the Russian government. The Dziennik also publishes the news that on the 22nd ult. some insur gent,' shot a pensioner in the village of Fslki, and that Jankowski, one of the inhabitants, wee implicated in the affair. Rio house was burnt by order of military comman dant, the furniture given to the relatives of the deceased, and a tax of 500 roubles imposed on the village, and of 10 roubles on each house within • distance of 5 vents from it. The following is Major Rembajlo's report of his successful engagement at Mierzwin, nest Pinozow, on the bth : On the btb, at 6 a.m., a peasant informed me that the Russians were approaching, but could not say whence and in what numbers. I then ordered the baggage to be packed, and prepared to march, intending to attack the Russians. After marching a vent from my camp in the direction of Turow, I was attacked in the rear by the enemy. Five horsemen, who formed the rear-guard, fired at the Russians, and at the same moment the enemy's infantry began some rapid file firing. Being in a wood I could not manoeuvre with my detachment, sad accordingly I ordered my column to charge with the bayonet. My troops, who were for the first time under fire, and were attacked on a very narrow road sod in • most disadvantageous position, yet bravely marched forward in colamo, with myself and the other officers at their head, to • place when • clearance in the wood enabled them to deploy. The Russians were here at a distance of fifty paces from us. I then called the charge, and rushing forward with my rifle io my hand, and followed by my troops, drove the Rennes from their position. My men, encouraged by their first success, then pursued the enemy and completely dispersed them. Thrice did the Russians attempt to stand their ground, but each time we drove them back with the bayonet. In this way we pursued them about three vents out of the wood into a field near the village of Mierzwin, meeting on our rand about twenty Russian dead bodice and a waggon with provisions, which we captured. On entering the field we continued the pur suit as far so a hill which lies between the village of ier awin the wood. The Russians, taking as many of their dead and wounded with them as they could, fled in disorder to Mierzwin. . _ . I then assembled my detachment, consisting of 100 In fantry. on the bill, and we knelt down and thanked Provi. demos for our victory. The Russians being safe in she village and beyond pursuit, I then returned to my camp. As far an my experience as an old soldier enabled me to estimate the numbers of the Russians, I should say there were about 400 infantry and 100 Cossacks. My detachment consisted of two companies, numbering 120 infantry, and 14 cavalry. On our side the following were killed :—Captaln Gregory Saint-Zeno, Lieut. Louis Kocinpinski, of Cracow ; Sad Lieut. Antony Zabiertiwski, and six rank and file.—Oamp at &anise, Dec. 6, 1863.—Majoe RiIIZAJLO. NAVAL AND MILITARY. FEDERAL TROOPS IN HOLSTEIN. This afternoon the Saxon and Hanoverian troops are to enter Holstein by the Alton& gate. The Danish soldiers will retire peaceably, and the Prince of Augustenburg will, it is expected, be proclaimed Duke of Schleswig-Holstein by the citizens. A Hamburg telegram says that the Prince is expected shortly to enter Altona at the bead of 36,000 volun teers; and if he does so the Austrians, it is said, have orders to drive him out. Should the Aus trians adopt this course, the Saxons and Hanove rian. will, it is rumoured, take up arms in favour of Prince Angnstenburg. ITALY. The Opinions of Turin publishes a letter ad dressed to the Pope by the Roman National Com mittee, and accompanying a copy of a volume clandestinely published by them, under the title of "Revelations concerning the trial of Venanzi- Fausti." The letter is as follows : Holy Father,—May your Holiness receive the accompany ing book without anger. If Christ on the cross prayed for the salvation of his enemies, you, his vicar, may well ►llow the enemies of your government to ad dress themselves to you in order to reveal to you the unexampled iniquities which your ministers commit in your name against those whom you call your subjects. Deign, Holy Father, to read without prejudice or rancour the things which this book relates and proves, and recollect that the last day of your life and reign must soon be at hand. History will speak of your reign, and will relate to future generations the injuries you inflicted upon Italy, and how badly you governed your subjects. Prevent history from calling you a tyrant, by allowing an almost incredible murder to remain unpunished, though made known sod proved to you. Receive the expression of reverence we pro feu towards you as the Chief of the Church. Tea ROMAN NATIONAL COMMITTITIL EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ous OWN COUNSPONDINT.) PLEI3, MONDAY EVINUIO. The Emperor made a speech to-day to the depu tation of the Senate which brought up the address. I have not seen a report of it, but the government journals say that it is "essentially pacific." He quoted a saying of Napoleon 1., " A war in Europe is a civil war." The debate on the bill for the loan of 300,000,000 —which the Afoniteur announced for to-day— ban been adjourned. A very apropos amendment has been presented, to the effect that the loan is granted on condition " that the government shall limit the issue of Treasury bonds for 1864 to 100 millions." The signatures to this amendment are those of MM. Darimon, Thiers, Jules Farm. Marie, Glais-Bizoin, Javal, Jules Simon, d'Aude larre, Emile 011ivier, Picard, Lambrecbta, Pli chon, Martel, de Marmier, Pieron-Leroy, and Mal - zienx. This is bitting the nail upon the bead. Everybody suspects that the main reason for con solidating the accumulation of the floating debt is to get more facility for running up a new score. The letter attributed to Prince Napoleon was a forgery. The Nation of to-night publishes the following letter from his private secretary : Palsis Royal, Doe. 21. The Nation yesterday published a letter attributed b► • foreign journal to Prince Napoleon. lam desired to deny in the most positive manner the existence of any such letter. There is not a word of truth in it, either as to the form or the ideas expressed. The Prince's opinions are well known ; he has boldly and clearly expressed them in the tribune. They may be summed up in these two words—Liberty and Nationality. As to Italy especially, he is for her unit► above everything—in the interest of Francs Bret and in that of Italy afterwards. Allow me to tell you, sir, that before reproducing this absurd and most improbable letter it would have been very easy for you to have made inquiries which would have spared you this rectification. Rewire, tec. The Private Secretary, ED. HUBALIE. The Bourse has been heavy. The dispersion of the groups of outsiders by the police seems to have had a more depressing effect to-day than it did at the moment of the aggression.

The vessels engaged in this t ade _ are numerous and large, ranging from 40 to 120 toss burden, and are manned by some of the boldest sod hardiest seamen in the world. They fish principally in the North Sea, and the greater portion of the fleet, when the late gales bunt upon them, were fishing off the *oast of Holland. To many, escape was impossible. Some vessel& foundered with all halide, others were drives whore, others were dis covered as complete wrecks, without a soul on board (excepting iu one case. where a little boy was found in the cabin, the only one left to tell the tale of shipwreck and of death), while of those men who were fortunate enough to gain the shore some are injured for life.

The Coroner having motioned the woman in the maul form, read over the evidenoe taken at the last examinati on . Novak Brown, sister to the accused, who bed been struck, gave a narrative of the affair. She said that when her sister, Mts. Keefe, laid her child down, hiacerthy kicked her on the forehead.

KING, HEENAN, ke., SUMMONED REPOSE nEZ MAGISTRATE& SERVING THE SUMMONSES INN LONDON. [Fran the Surrey Standard of this day.] After the fight which took place at Wadharst, on the 10th test., the cirennistenees appear to have attracted the athletics of the magistrates of the division, and on the lath iostans, mammoth** were issued by Edward Watsoo Mouth. Meq., of Wadhurat Castle, against Thomas King, John Cannel Heenan, Thomas Sayers, John Macdonald, Jerry Noon, Boss Tyler, James Mice, and Robert Travers, all of London, pugilists, as principals and eiders and abettors of the prise fight on the 10th instant, at Wadhurst. These summonses were handed over to Supt. Bennett, to fiod oat the men, and serve each per if possible. Mr. Bennett immediately proceeded to Loudon, and solicited the assistance of one of the metro. politan police which Captain Harris, one of the coni miseioners, readily ranted. They then went to the bar of the public.house kept by Robert Travers (who is a man of colour), in Castle-street, Leicester-square. Mrs. Travel said Mr. Travers was not at home. Mr. Bennett's col league, however, knew Travers, and after waiting some time heard hie voice. He was then soon found, sod served with a summons ; he was very civil, and said, " I think it is very hard that 1 should be summoned, as I was not engaged in any way at the tight ; I only looked on." They then went to Holywell-lane, to the Old king John publichoule, kept by James Mace, who, it was stated, had gone in the country, sod it was uncertain when he would return. After going to a number of other places visited by fighting men, near n.idnight Mr. Bennett and his companion pulled up at the Psvilioo Theatre, WhitechapeL By persuasion and thrum they got to the stage by a private entrance. In the bolas they found Thomas King ; after reading the summons to him he was very excited, used bad language, and said they all ought to be ashamed of themselves to summon him. Superintendent Bennett then served the summons on him. In the mime box was " Bose " Tyler; on Super. intendant Bennett reading the summons to him, be said "My name is not Boss Tyler [Boss, it lip , was only a nickname, be having only one eye!, it is an insult to call ine that name." Sept. Bennett said, " You are known by that name, and I shall serve the summons upon you." He replied, " I shan't take it, and if you take the liberty to touch me with it, I'll give you some thing." Mr. Bennett's colleague said , " Bogs, it's so use to talk in that manner ; we know yen," and Bose, after giving a verbal sp ecimen of ru ffi anism, cooled down, sad invited his "friends to drink, which they declined. Two other men then came up, to whom Tyler said, " Why the ' eint you summoned '.' You was at the fight as well as roe." The men said, "Nonsense, Bees, you know we were not there." Thomas Sayers's house, which is at 10. Bells Yee CoWges, Ca mden.road,Cunden-tow n, was found locked up three days running, and Supt. Bennett was told he was gone into the country. Hassan was found in a respectable private house at Pimlico, which, through a third person, the great American pugilist gad appointed as a rendezvous for the service of the summons. Ile received the superintendent and his companion in a gentlemanly manner, asked them to take seats by the fire, and invited them to take a glass of wine and a cigar. He left them shortly after to see his medical attendant, saying, "Yon may depend I will attend to the summons." After this there was a good hunt for Jerry Noon, Mace, Sayers, and Macdonald. There being on the same day a prize fight between Baker and Goss they could not be toned. The next day, at the Fist-endof London, however, they foiled Macdonaki,who has the appearance and manner of s respectable man. Mace was served by leaving the summons at his house. Superin• tendent Bennett then went to Brighton, and found Sayers had left that town the night before by a London train. King and Heenan had but little marks on their face from the light, and Kiug was on the stage of the Pavilion Theatre, Whitechspel, showing to the audience the trophies he had woo in the fight. The following is a copy of the summons issued : "To Thomas King, John Carmel Heenan. Macau sayers, John Macdonald, Jerr► Noon, Bow Tyler, James Mace, and Robert Travers, all of Lot;don.
