WE have lately heard a good deal of the awakening of society to a perception of the advan tages of pugilism. The current of opinion, it is said, has been setting for some time in favour of the'prize-fighter. The ring is again extolled as a great school, where men quick to apprehend moral lessons, may profitably go to learn how to bear themselves in the battle of life. Civilization and humanity require that men should be taught how to use their fists, and experience shows that the prize-ring is the best means of sustaining the art at its highest point of excellence. Such ware the reflexions in which some of our ablest contempora ries indulged after the recent fight between Macs and KING, and if they are wise and just we can not dispute the inference drawn from them, that the professors and amateurs of this humanizing art, instead of having to start out in the dawn to some unfrequented spot, should be permitted to exercise itmostpublicly under the protectionof the law and for the advantage of mankind. And as another great fight is impending—Hzursir, the American boxer, having engaged to meet the triumphant Buro--it does not seem unreasonable to expect that the new and influential friends of the P. IL will exert themselves on the occasion to procure justice for its champions, and take some steps towards opening their school for the greatest possible instruction of the greatest possible number. It is not, however, to high ideal theories of the prize-ring that we wish to invite public attention to-day. Considered in themselves, the paradoxes with which minds weary of the monotony of old immutable truths beguile the tedium of life are of little consequence. The morbid reactions of the fastidious are of no importance, except as they transfer the sanction of the educated to pursuits which degrade and ruin those who look up to the opinions of their better instructed fellow-creatures for guidance. A paragraph which we published on Tuesday shows that the leavening influences of the prise-ring are at work wing us. At ten o'clock last Monday morning a fine looking young man wss carried into the London Hospital, with marks of violence on his head, face, and body, and evidently in a dying state. The men who took him to the hospital did not know his name or address. All they knew was. that he had been fighting that morning with another man in • field near Bow ; that he fought until be became insensible, when he was left on the ground abandoned to the care of strangers. The next day his antagonist was discovered, and taken into custody. It then appeared that the two men had been contending in • pitched battle, with seconds, for 201. a side. The prisoner's face wee one mails of bruises and discoloration% his right arm and chest were injured, and he was suffering great psis. The battle is described as having lasted nearly an hour and • half, and the effects confirm the report that it was of • fearful character. What ought we to think of such an occurrence as this t What do the great admirers of the "noble " art" my to it? The contests of champions is not, as foreigners and Englishmen who do not know their country suppose, encounters of poor brave men for the mere amusement of luxurious lookers on. A fight for the championship, we are told, is to English boxing what the Derby is to Baer& horse. breeding, an exhibition of excellence, designed and fitted to incite togeneral imitation. Wlismthseefors, two men contend together, as these two young car penters did at Bow, it is a sign that the institution is bearing the desired fruit. And if, instead of one poor solitary combat on Easter Monday, every piece of waste ground near a town or villager had had its local battle, our new prophets might sing their Nam diinittis, mewed that the day of their country's salvation was come. No more cant about the "marchof intellect," or "schoolmaster abroad," but unbounded admiration for muscly bottom, clever hitting, and neat stopping. Still, a result like that of Monday last is calcu lated to awaken some misgivings. Although so ciety may be humanized and elevated by setting two men to belabour one another until their faces look like mamas of raw beef, fatal injury must be considered a misfortune, apart from the annoyance given to the survivor in the name of the law. Here is a difficulty—What ought to be done in such • case as this at Bow? These men fought like lions. The deceased man was not beaten be fore he had inflicted terrible punishment on his antagonist. Hi body was conquered, not his soul. Nature, not the indomitable spirit, gave way. But if it was well that the men abseil fight, and not well that either of them should die, ' where is the fault Are we to regret that one of these men did not show the white feather ? But the ring exists in order to develop and reward courage and fortitude. It cannot be said that a case like this should be regarded as a lamentable accident ; for, so far as appears, the beaten man was killed according to the rules of the art. The case of the unfortunate man now in custody presents another difficulty. If it be true that the law forbidding prize fights is one condemned by the superior intelligence of the age, and that it is a manly, noble thing to contend with fists for mastery in a ring, the prisoner is a pet , secuted man, deserving our sympathy. These are practical points for consideration. There Se Court. is no reason to suppose that Howixrr was lb the least excited by animosity in this encounter. Ile is probably an average working mum, ',hose ambition has taken a pugilistic turn. If the pro fession which he is seeking to enter is a creditable one, as the world has often been told lately, and if society is resolved to retrace its steps and do honour to the boxer, it would be very wrong to harems HowLsrr by prosecution. For our part, we utterly reject the theory on which the price ring is defended, believing it to be false and arti ficial. It would be as true to say that our national character is capable of being raised or strength ened by the revival of bull and bear-baiting as it is to allege that pugilistic exhibitions are calcu lated to produce that effect ; and we hope that the unhappy termination of this fight may lead some of our contemporaries to reconsider the theories they have incautiously put forth. But we should see with regret a poor misled artisan punished severely for the natural consequences of an act to which he has been stimulated by the writings of accomplished men assuming to repre sent the opinions and wishes of society.

The coming elections now occupy a considerable space in the French journals. The France an nounces that it will publish the electoral address, styled here the " profession of faith," of every serious" candidate. I rather suspect that the i word serious conceals a snake in the grass, and that it will be apt to eliminate from publicity all who are not favourable to the temporal power. I shall be glad to find occasion to contradict by fact that which I now only show forth in likelihood. But at present the only address published by the France is that of the Count Flavigny, who, like M. Kolb Bernard, M. Plichon, and some few others, who made prominent speeches in favour of Rome, are tabooed by K de Persigny, and denuded of the government support to which they owed their el action sir years ago. Count Flavigny now says, very truly, that his only crime is having supported, a year before, the very doctrines which the Emperor came round to last autumn. That plaintive re monstrance is illustrative of the curious anomaly that K de Persigny is permitted for the moment to set the prefects against the clerical candidates who, like Count de Flavigny, had every reason to hope that M. Thouvenel's dismissal was the signal for their triumph. In the Senate yesterday, K Fould begged. although late, to object to the Monifnsr's report of a sentence attributed to him on March 18. Kde Laroohejaquelin having asserted that the French force in Mexico amounted to 50,000 men, M. Fould corrected him by saying that the number was only 34,000; and he was made to aid "that is too many." The latter words, which K Fould desires to disclaim, were in reality used by M. de Larochejaquelin. The rectification de sired by the minister was made. The Bourse was very animated. Rente roes 26c. and 15c., closing at 701 r. and 'Mr. 10c. The latest prices were not, however, the highest of the day, for the Rente was at one moment quoted at 701 r. 25c. The last official quotation of Mobilier was the same as yesterday, but after office hours there was a fall. No report of the general meeting to day is yet made public. Marschener, a musical composer of eminence in Hanover, and chapel master to the king, lately brought an action against M. Aulagnier, a Paris publisher, for having pirated an opera called the Vampire, which is one of K Marschener'a best compositions. The alleged piracy dates so far back as the year 1843 ; but M. Marachener having recently visited Paris, took especial umbrage at an interpolated recitative which be says disfigures his work. The Court of the First Instance gave a ver dict for the plaintiff with 500 fr. damages, and de creed the delivery up of all the existing copies of the Paris edition. The Court of Appeal, however, has reversed this decision, founding its judgment upon the consideration that previous to the decree of 1852 there was no copyright in Franoe in foreign works, and that that decree has no retroactive effect.
