As much misapprehension exists in the public waled respecting the condition of Heenan before sad after hie late contest with King, the following authentic par ticulars may not be without interest :—Four or five hours after the termination of the fight on the 10th inst. be arrived at a friend's house in Loudon. Mr. J. F. Clarke saw him immediately. He was then su ff ering horn great exhaustion. His face was considerably disfigured, anti there was a cut on the right side of the upper lip shoat half as inch in length, which required a stitch. There were no bruises of any ooosqusnce about the body, but there were • few wretches oe the cheat. Tim action of the heart was very feeble, sad the pulse scarcely per ceptible. Suitable medicines were resorted to, under the lawman of which he gradually improved until the 13th. On the evening of that day he had a fainting it On the lith Dr. Tanner saw him in oonsaltation with Mr. Clarks. He was then weak, his nights had been seethes sod there was considerable unseal:less on taking a deep in spiration. Oa examining him, all marks about the chest bad nearly disappeared, while the bruises upon the face were evidently quickly fading. The cut in his upper lip bad healed. The right need bone was loosened from its articu lation. ; but there was no fracture. On carefully practimeng Aitecultelloo, the heart's mein ems band is ha feeble, ugh there was no bruit, the valves sating efficiently. The pules was weak, very compressible, sod rather above 100. The left lung was healthy ; but over the apex of the right there was dulness. with evident 'iglu of congestion. On either side at the back of the neck there was consider able stiffness, which was ascertained to exist chiefly in the tendinous attachments of the trapezium muscle to the occi pital bone, ligamentum nuohe , dorsal vertebras, and spine of the scapula. The immense development of the muscles about the shoulders and chest was very remarkable. They stood out prominootly, and as little encumbered with fat as if they had bees cleaned by the scalpel. In firmness they resembled cartilage. The same conditions were also apparent in the real muscles of the abdominal wall, the Mediums intersections (linear transverse) of which were strongly market. But with all this splendid development it was evident that Heenan had received a shock from which his system was only slowly recovering ; though whether this loss of power was due to the punishment re ceived in the fight or to the hard training which he had pre viously undergone, may be a disputed point. As physiolo gists, it seems to us highly probable that his training had been too prolonged and too severe. When Heenan went into training on Wednesday, September 23—lust *levee weeks before the match—his weight was 13. t a lb. As he stepped into the ring on the 10th east. he was exactly list. At therms time King weighed 1344., though be was three quarters of an inch taller than Heiman, whose height is Eft. ljin. Those who know what severe trainiog memos will, perhaps, agree with us that Heenao wee probably in better condition five weeks before meeting his antagonist than on the morning of his defeat, although when he stripped for fighting the lookers-on all agreed that he seemed to promise himself an easy victory, while exalting in his fine proportions and splendid muscular development. It is now clearly proved that Heenan went into the contest with much more muscular than vital power. Long before he had met with any movers punishment—indeed, as he states, at the cloys of the third round—he felt faint, breathed with much difficulty, sad, m he described it, his respiration was " roaring." He declares that he received more severe treatment at the hands of Sayers than be did from King; yet at the termination dills former fight, which lasted upwards of two hours, he was so fresh as to leap over two or three hurdles, and distances many of his friends in the rem. It was noticed on the present occasion that his phirsique had deteriorated, and that he looked moot) older than at kin lest appearance in the ring. Without offsets( any opinTon as to the merits of the combatant., it is eertain that Heenan was in a state of very deteriorated health when he faced his opponent, and it is fair to conclude that deterioration was due in a great measure to the severity of the training which be had undergone. As with the mind, so with the body, undue and prolonged exertion must end in depression of power. In the process of the physical education of the young, in the training of our re cruits or in the sports of the athlete, the case of Heenan suggests a striking commentary of great interest in a physio logical point of view. While exerass, properly so called, tends to d.-velopment and health, ono/mire seediest pro duces debility and decay. la these times of over•excikement sad oust-competition in the race of life, the ease we now pot on resod may. be studied with advantage. —Thu Laced. A large and influential meeting of the owners of proprietary medicines was held oe Tuesday last at Andertoe's Hotel, Fleet-street, with a view to tate the Decessary steps for opposing the iotroductioo of clause 57 into the present Medial Act of the General Council of Medical Education, which if allowed to become law would prove fetal to the interests of all medicine proprietors. Mr. R. Barclay occupied the chair, and resolutions were unani monsly posed appointing 'committee with full power to take such measures u may be deemed nectuary for pre ventiug the passing of the bill, and nearly 3,0001. was thereupon subscribed towards raising a fund far defraying the expenses. THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.-011 Wednesday evening Mr. William Taßack, secretary to the Society for the Abolition of (Atonal Punishment, delivered • lecture on ' the above subject at Maidstone, in the Town-hall, lent by ' bee Mayor (or the occasion. The Rev. R. F.. Maclellan oc. copied the chair. Allusion was nude by the lecturer to the recent local exemplifications of the non-deterrent effect of capital punishment. Thus the murder at Chatham by Burton. last spring, was speedily followed by Holden 's mime, and the latter by • third murder in the same town. At the trial of Burton there wee an objection tuned maims empennelling say Maidstone men on the jury, on account of the known prevalence, in that town, of decided opposi tion to capital punishment. Such • feeling has been re peatedly strengthened by the special opportunities afforded by as amiss town for enamoring both the nou.deterreet mud demoralising effects of the gallows. On the motion of Mr. Frederic Wheeler, • resolution disapproving of death punishment was carried unanimously is a krpaudience.

Mr. Michell moved the fine resolution, to the effect that the institution should be supported. The Rev. J. De Hewer Williams seconded the reeolutlon. Books, be mid, were at one time the strength of them institutions, but there had been • gloat change; the circulating library of to-day was not the same as that of thirty years ago. The committee of the Institution had decided to add 7,000 new books to the 7,000 old if the inditution were kept open.

An engagement took place on the 14th inst. at Niche.lowice, in the palatinate of Cracow, in which the Russians were beaten by the insurgents, who also seised the custom-house chest. The Austrian troops prevented the Russians from retreating into Galician territory. The insurgents have also ob tained a success at Lukow. VIENNA, Dgc. 17. Advioes received here state that the insurgents defeated the Russians on the 14th, at Michalowice, a Russian Customs' post not far from Cracow, and took possession of the funds. The Austrians pre vented the Russians from retreating into Galician territory. The Poles have also been victorious in an engage ment at Lukow, in the government of Lublin. The Wanderer of to-Clay confirms the statement of some days back that the son of Count Andrew „akdooyaki has been condemned to death at Warsaw. DENMARK.. COPENHAGEN, Dic. 17. The King of Denmark received General Fleury this morning. PRUSSIA. STUTIOART, Ow. 17. Prussia has given notice to quit the kollverein, in order to secure liberty of action with regard to the pending negotiations. "The manner in which these negotiations are being carried oc," says the official Staatsatimiger, "testifies that all the contracting parties are ani mated by the desire to continue the union." AUSTRIA. VIENNA. Dir. IT. It is asserted upon reliable authority that the ministerial crisis may be regarded as ended for the present. No doubt is entertained that Herr von Schmer ling will remain in the Ministry. THE SWISS EMBASSY TO JAPAN. BERNE, Dec. 17. The Swiss embassy in Japan has acquainted the Federal Council that it has been found impossible to enter into diplomatic relations with the govern ment at Yeddo. The ambiuseadore will return to Switzerland at the beginning of next year. FRANCE. PARIS. Dec. 17, Evnueo. In the Senate to-day the debate upon the ad dress was continued. Upon the discussion of paragraph 6, referring to the finances, and paragraph 7, respecting Mexico, some observations were addressed to the house by the Marquis de Boisay and the Marquis dais. Roche jaquelein. M. Chaix d'Est Ange, the Procureur-Impirial, in reply, stated that the government hoped soon to see the establishment of a regular administration in Mexico, and approached that object at a firm, resolute, and rapid pate. (Great applause.) Paragraphs 6 and 7 were then adopted. Paragraph 8, treating of Poland and the Euro pean Congress, was next discussed. M. 84gur d'Aguesseau expressed the profound sympathy entertained by France for Poland—the rampart of Europe against barbarian invasion. He spoke of the cruelties of the Russians, and thought that, in the event of Russia refusing to come to the Congress, it was the duty of France to act, even if alone. The speaker would have desired the para graph more strongly marked, and, in conclusion, expressed entire confidence in the Emperor. Marquis de la Rocbe.jaquelein protested against the principle that it was the duty of France to go to war for the Poles. France had embarked upon sufficient adventures, and wished to engage in no more. The part played by England in the negotia tions respecting Poland was to break off our alliance with Russia. The Catholics who preached war for Poland would be contented if the entry of Victor Emmanuel into Rome were the prelude of the campaign. The speaker contested the commis sion of cruelties upon the part of the Russians, and condemned the secret government at Warsaw. The debate will be continued to-morrow. THE FRENCH LOAN. PARIS, Dm 17. It is asserted that the Government has decided upon raising the new loan of 300 million franca by public subscription. ITALY. TURIN, Die. 17. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the Finance Minister stated that he could not agree to the motion of Signor Lanza relative to the treasury bonds.

GREECE AND THE lONIAN ISLANDS. From a review of the various public documents relating to the cession of the lonian Islands it appears that, prior to the conclusion of the Treaty of the 14th November, no single stipulation had been made indicating any reservation of the complete and unlimited trsuefer of the lonian Mande, with their fortifications, and their own sovereignty and independence of action, to the new kingdom of Greece. It is a matter of some curiosity and importance to consider what may be the effect of the provisions of the protocol of the sth of June upon this state of the question. In this protocol, the Danish Court accepted the throne of Greece for Prince William, on the distinct condition that "the lonian Islands should be effectively united to Greece." If the islands are " neutralized," and so i deprived of the ordinarily effective condition of independent states, it can hardly be said that the conditions of the protocol are fulfilled. MUSIC. MR. HENRY LESLIE'S CHOIR. The first concert of the season took place last night at St. Jamee's-hall—the programme °Desisting, as usual, chiefly of madrigals and unaccompanied part songs, the refined and expressive singing of which class of music hie earned for this institution so high and medal a reputation. While the marl.. grandeur and sublimity of Handers choruses is heard to perfection as interpreted by the gigantic chain of the Sacred Harmonic and National Choral Societies; those lighter works, in which delicacy rather than power, refinement rather than strength are requisite, can nowhere be heard to such advantage ea at Mr. Henry Leslie's concerts. The selection last night included a genuine old madrigal, " Stay Corydon," by John Wilbm, and some clever modern imitations of thn school by Mr. John Bar nett and Mr. Pearsall. The form of the madrigal, however, belongs to so conventional a period of art, and offers so lit tle scope for any novelty of thought, that attempts at its reproduction, however ingenious, can scarcely power much permanent value. The " part-gong," however, being of move modern (German) origin, admits of greater flexi bility of style and freedom of expreerloo—as many exquisite specimens by Meodelmohn testify. Several examples of this form, by English composers, however, were included in Mr. Leslie's programme last night, one of the most effec tive being Mr. Callcott's "First twitter of Spring." But the most important vocal piece of the evening was Spoln's " Ode to St. Cecilia," for soprano solo, chorus, and organ amompaniment, in which that master's graceful but somewhat mannered style is throughout appa rent. Those chromatic progressions and favourite sequences, which were so charming in the early works of the author of Azor and Zemira, have now lost somewhat of„their freshness, and are too minute' in detail to be mutable to such • work ma the "Ode to St. Cecilia." in which diatonic simplicity and Meachhcf style would be more appropriate. The final fugue too is poor in subject and as poor in treatment. Spohr was not a great contrapuntist, and has seldom succeeded in the fugal style, his beet specimen Laing, perhaps, the chorus "Thine is the Kingdom" in the Last Judgment. Madam Lemnieng-Sherrington, who was the solo sopraeo, pve her share of the ode with great purity of expression, and was also very enoceseful in • new song of Mr. Leslie's, "The Lark's Massage," and an air from Anbet's Le Domino Noir. The vocal pieces were varied by t►e instrumental performances of Herr Blumeer (pianoforte), end M. Lotto (violin)—the former gentleman playing Beethoven's thirty-three variations on an original theme in C minor, and Liszt's transcription of , Wagner's Tan nionsir Match ; the latter artist giving • concert-piss by Lembard, and Paganini's " Witches' Dance." Herr Blumner is • pianist of ommiderable force, but his reeding of Beethoven's variations was characterised by far too much tempo rubel° for a work so classical in style, and so especially demanding continuity of phrasing. In the transcription, or rather paraphrase, of Wagner's March, Herr Blumoer displayed great energy in dashing at the mirages of octaves, thirds, &c., with which Liszt has overlaid his subject. M. Lotto's brilliant fantasia playing and skilful command over the difficulties of octame, harmonica, and double stops met with the cordial reception which usually attends his performances. For the ensuing concerts various new compositions are promised, including an anthem for an eight -part choir by Professor Steredale Bennett. At the second concert on February 4, Madame Arabella Goddard is to play. NAVAL AND MILITARY. ADMIRALTY, DEC. 17. ..APIPOINTMEN/11. COM. menden W. 1.. Stooiforth, J. itobannoa, and H. C.

THE ROMSZY AGRICULTURAL SHOW. The Christmas cattle ahow at Rooney was held yesterday, and the exhibition was very satisfactory. After the judges had decided upon the awards, • large ember of the members of the society dined together at the White Horse Inn, and considerable disappointment was ex . when it became known that Lord Palmerston, wt r o B l7l committed to preside, was detained in London on important public basins& la his lordship's absence the chair was takes by the Hon.

Mr. Parry, Oidfield, The Chairman, in proposing the tint toast, observed that Lord Palmerston would Lave certainl taken this chair had he not been detained by the necess ity of holding cabinet councils. The noble lord was engaged in the serves of her Majesty, whose health he now begged to propose. (The tout was received with the greatest enthustasm.).-- Mr. Dutton, in responding to the toed of the members for the Southern division of the county," said it appeared from most of the speech.. which bad been recently deli vered at such meetings as that, that it was difficult to say what was whig and what was tory. In fact, nobody seemed to be able to make out the difference between the two ; fot the last two or three years he had failed to discover any particular difference. He hoped they would be able to go on under the lrodersliip of the noble lord now happily at the bead of the goverment, and that all parties would endeavour to pea those measures which, without distinction of tarty, would best promote the interests of the oouotry at large.—Sir J. C. Jervoiss, in respeeding, said the members of the Howie of Commies were something like frosee-out gardeDers who bad no work to do. (Laughter.) lie did not think that any blame in that respect was doe to the noble lord whose absence every one deplored. (Hear, bear.) They most all give him credit for the great exciters which be had made, end the success which had attended his efforts in primoting the interests of his neighbours. (Hear.) Within the last ten days the newspapers had been engaged in a controversy which bed arise from some parliamentary utterances which seemed to beer a double amatruction. (Hoer, bear.) One of those speeches, to which it was sot neeessary for him more particularly to allude, certainly did bear a construction that savoured a little of the old radical time which culminated in the great memo» of reform. Since that time no such violsot memos had bees *calm plated. but every one must allow that from time to time our laws and constitution demanded revision end renovation. He had felt it to be his duty to support the existing government became he considered that we were indebted to them for keeping the country quiet, mid for their foreign policy, which had given such general satisfaction both at bores end abroad. Although not euffi- Meetly advanced for some of our ardent politician's, he be lieved the government had done its duty Se fare It had heels able, in keeping the country quiet at home. and making it respected abroad. With respect to the question of economy, he did not think that in these times a volt riving could be looked for is our ex penditure. All that the people could do was to see that they got their money's worth for the charges which they most incur if we determined upon the maintenance of pesos.—The Chairman, in proposing the health of the presi dent of the society (Lord Palmerston), observed that it might be • difficult matter, in proposing the health of the prime minister, to exclude remarks of a political tendency. But the noble lord was ro good a neighbour, and so good a country gentleman, and took such care of his estate, and of those who resided upon it, that a great deal might he said of him pri vately without at all touching upon public matters. (Cheers.) With respect to the question of providing ini provedeottages for the labouring clams, he did not expect that much would come of it, mid was afraid little bad WILD of it. That subject, which was first broached by Lord Palmerston, was now exciting great interest throughout the country. (Hear.) With reference to Lord Palmerstou as the prime minister of this country, he womb: moldy say that there were very few people in this country who were not satiafied with he lordship. presidency. (Cheers.) The met session would probably be devoid of =Men et domestic interest. and would most likely be devoted to the considera tion of foreign affairs, and from the present aspect of Wm, in Europe it would require great tact to carry us through the difficulties which were uuw presenting themselves.
