The difference between true Spermatorrlicea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places It within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press. _ .

Yet he was still as strong on his lep . ,,s,•apparently, as ever, thanks to his perfect training, and,, after leav ing the field of battle, he ran - as nimbly as any of the spectators and leaped over: two small hedges. This, however, was a final effort; and he almost in stall ily after became so utterly blind that he was obliged to be led by the hand to the train. How the fight would have terminated but for the interference of the police it is pow literally quite impossible to say or even speculate. At any moment • Sayers might have got a blow which would have struck him almost senseless, while if Heenan could have closed with him the Champion's chance would have been, perhaps, a poor one. On the other hand Sayers was carefully avoiding this, and Heenan's sight was so far gone that in two or three minutes more he would have lain at the mercy of a child. As matters now stand the fight is adjourned sine Elie, and the only impression left is one of astonish ment that Sayers, with one arm, should have so long contended, with success, with such a formidable an tagonist, and that Heenan should have borne his terrific punishment 'without his strength or courage to fight. giving way: THE NAVY __DURING THE LAST HUN.DRED YEARS.

The return comprehends" the periods between 1756 and 1859, during which time we were engaged in no less than 13 wars, — viz., four with Franco, three with Spain, two with America, one - with Holland; 'Vivo with China, and one with Russia—and spent in, inaval7estimates a . collective sum of £795,497,113 10s. 7d., or a larger amount than is at present represented by the national debt. While the 'strength of the navy in men is not much above 5,000 more than it was in 1756, the estimates of the two periods are very different, the estimates for 1756 being £3,349,021 35., and for 1859.60 £9,878,859, We merely point out this vast discrepancy, as we are at the same time well aware that the increased expenditure in the present day for wear and tear by machinery, coals, superior ar maments and superior vessels is absolutely neces sary. In the year 1756 the total number of men borne was 52,809, and the estimated expense £3,349,021 3s. For the next seven years, in con sequence of the war with France, we find a vast in crease in the number of seamen, insomuch that in 1762 the number borne was 84,797, and the esti mates for the navy £5,944,251 12s. 9d. Peace being proclaimed in 1764, this vast mass of men was reduced to 20,603, and the navy estimates fell in like proportion to £2,094,800 9s. 3d., these num hers being further reduced in 1768 to 15,511 men, end £1,526,357 Os. I Id. This is the lowest point ever reached in our naval estimates. 011 the breaking out of war with America in July, 1774, they again rose to the sum of £2,104,917 4s. 3d., and gradually increased up to the conclusion of the war to .E 8,063,285 12s. 5d., with an increase of 105,443 men. During this period, however, it must not be forgotten that the country was involved at the same time in a struggle with France, Spain, Holland, and America. In 1782 on the recognition of American independence, and in 1783, on the conclusion of peace with Spain, France, and Hol land, the estimates again felt; and contined to fluc tuate between £2,000,000 and £3,000,000 sterling, with an average of about 25,000 men borne. The war of the French Revolution breaking out pro duced the ordinary effects, and the estimates rose as the funds fell. In 1793, when war was de clared, the number of men borne was 59,042, and the estimates £3,971,915 ss. 10d ; in the next year they increased to £5,525,331 11s. 3d., with an increased list of '83,891 men borne on the books. Stride by stride they ad vanced until in 1801 they rose to the enormous sum of 116,857,037 Os. 2d., when the number of seamen and marines was 131,959. On the conclusion of the peace of Amiens they again, for a short time, fell ; but the stirring events of the period, the un settled condition of Europe, and the want of con fidence in France precluded them from finding a peace level, and, although there was a decrease of more than £6,000,000, yet they still remained £6,000,000 above the estimates of 1793, when the war commenced. Thee ensued the great war with France from 1803 to 1815, when the naval expenses and naval strength of the country advanced with gigantic strides, so that for four years--viz., the years 1811-12-13-14, they were always aver £20,000,000, :and in the latter year reached the enormous sum of 1:23,504,070 19s. lid., with a force of 126,414 men, which force, however, was not equal to that of 1813, when our ships were manned by no fewer than 147,047 men. Down went these esti mates again on the conclusion of the peace, and con tinued in that condition up to the pet year of the non-alarmists, who believe in the good intentions of 'every country but their own, when they were only £4,434,783, and provided for only 26,041 men. From that time they have progressively increased up to our own days. The Chinese war of 1840 seems to be guilty of this increase ; for although peace was concluded in 1842-3, the naval esti mates only temporarily declined to rise again with fresh vigour and culminate in the year 1856-57, when this country was at war with Russia. In that year they reached the sum of £16,568,614, and maintained a force of 60,659 seamen and marines. They again fell on the conclusion of peace to more than £6,000,000, and in the year 1858-59 were £9,878,859, of which but a comparatively small por tion was expended on the pay and maintenance of 58,380 men. What effect the present Chinese en tanglement will have upon them we must leave to the judgment of our readers. SCILLY ISLES. (From the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.) The Scilly Islands are situate about 30 miles to the west of the Land's End of England ; they fo r m a group of 100 islands, in the best geographical situation as a port of call for ships arriving at the Channel for orders, as Scilly is 70 miles from Fal mouth. Ships coming up to the entrance of the Channel with east winds, can reach. Scilly many days before they can get up to Falmouth, especially dull saiiing ships with heavy cargoes. s and also, the position is much more easy of access; than Queens town. The islands form an archiipelago, shaped like a horse-shoe; every roadstead well protected by islands at the N.W., N., N.E.,. E., S.E. , The least protected part is from W.S.W. to N.W. by W., but the sunken reefs in B toad Sound form a natural breakwater to the W. Our port (St. Mary's) is most 'valued during the prevalence of easterly gales. We , : have had as many . as 300 sail at one time in the iffcrent harbours. St. Mary's Roads is capable of ce ntaining a fleet of 200 sail, There are five or six fathoms of water, with excellent holding ground of blue clay ; there is access to our roadstead by diJ ferent channels, all deep water, sufficient for aline -f of-battle ship at. low water. Thera are experienced rinity pilots, at five .`. pilot stations on different nds, having eleven; I.' pilot cutters, and numerous 1 'Hot gigs. Th a e pilots - are out cruising in the heaviest g ales. The islands are quite bold at the north, east, ,and south; there. arc not any sunken reefs lsitsg airy distance off the shore. The great dangers e.f Scilly lie to the west of St. Agnes' Light, but those danxers are now pro— tected by a light (dior,trie) erecteol on the Bishop Rock, the extreme wrestern rock of the islands, and at the entrance of,. the S.W. channel there arc fselP:sies for repair s of shi p s ; masts and; spars areAt the island pt in s t o ck by the diffe rent parties in. business The principal trade of maksrblacksmiths , L • _s, There is a patent rope-:ssalk, also smi th? port :Up islands. - wards of 500 i s shipbuildin,s; vessels of have been built at the orders at Scilly .can proceed t o either three channels direct without having • to round any angle.

A wire to the islands is important in a national point of view, as information might thus be forwarded to out authorities in England of any force of the enemy passing around the laud towards Ireland, or any part of the north coast of England or Wales. We hope to get a small subsidy towards this important national ot, t ject at a time when the coasts are being put in a. state of defence.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT• HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The Lour) CHANCELLOR took his scat on the'woolsack it five o'clock. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from Eastwood, in Nottinghamshire, praying for the ad mission of the Bible into schools in India, ALTERATION OF THE LITURGY. Lord EBURY gave notice that on the Bth of May he would call the attention of their lordships to this subject. BRITISH SUBJECTS IN LEGHORN. ------- The Earl of MALMESBURY asked the noble lord the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs if he could give their lordships any information relative to the compensation of British subjects for the injuries they had sustained by the Tuscan police. Lord WODEHOUSE said it was quite true that an out rage had been committed by the police at Leghorn on the property of British subjects, and it had been agreed that compensation should be paid to the injured parties. The parties had been examined by amedical gentleman appointed by this country, and he had reported the extent of their in• juries. The report had been sent to Florence, but the pre sentation of that report had been delayed- by recent events. He, however, had no doubt but that the parties would be amply compensated by the Tuscan Government, CRIMINAL LAW. The LORD CHANCELLOR reminded their lordships that they had agreed to the second reading of certain bills for the- Consolidation of the Criminal Law. It was then referred to a' select committee, and he now submitted a number of names of those noble lords who should form the committee. The list agreed to included the names of Lord Lyndhurst, Lord St. Leonards, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Belper, and Lord Carnarvon. THE. DIVORCE COURT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of this bill, which was brought in previous to the 'Easter recess, the object of which-was to enable the Judge Ordi nary of the Court of Divorce to call in the aid of some of the other judges in mder that the business of the court might be more expeditiously disposed of. The number of causes had so increased that it was absolutely itnpossible without assistance was granted that they could be disposed of for a considerable length of time. The bill enabled him, in cases of doubt, to call in one or two of the other judges be fore he pronounced final judgment, but in eases where there was no doubt he might dispose of them without the neces sity of forming a full court. Lord ST. LEONARDS said he hoped if the bill was read a second time it would be referred to a select committee, composed as nearly as possible of those noble and learned lords who sat in com mittee on the original bill. He thought the house ought to be very cautious before they conferred upon a single judge the power of dissolving a marriage. The Judge- Ordinary did not possess the power at present, because before such a decision could be pronounced, a full court, consisting of two other judges at least, had to be formed. Lord LYNDHURST said that some change was abso lutely necessary. The Divorce Court had been established a little more than two years, and in that time no less than 420 causes had been set down for hearing. The Court had disposed of only 177 out of the number, leaving 232 to be disposed of. Now, supposing the court to proceed as rapidly as i t had done during the time it had been in existence, i t would take four years to get through the whole of the re maining causes, taking no notice of the causes that would be entered during that time. The Judge Ordinary, it was agreed by all parties, was a person of great energy ; but it was clear that some assistance must be afforded him. The number of full courts that had been held during the last two years was only 65, little better than 30 in each year, a number quite inadequate to transact the business of the court. Lord ORAN WORTH said he would agree that the bill should be referred to a select committee, if it contained any new principle, but as it did not, he believed it could not be materially altered, and if so referred would come out of committee much in its present shape; and ho could not therefore see the necessity for such a delay as that proposed by his noble and learned friend. Lord REDESDALE said he had always been opposed to making the granting of divorces a common law proceed ing, because he believed that marriage would come to be considered by the groat bulk of the people as of far less im portance than it was under the old law, and that, in fact, the respect due to the matrimonial tie would be lessened. The experience in the Divorce Court since its establish • ment had unfortunately shown that he was right In these anticipations. Earl GRANVILLE thought it was desirable that the bill should not be referred to a select committee, as it would only lead to delay. The bill contained no new principle, and there was therefore no real reason for the proposition of the noble and learned lord opposite. After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR against referring the bill to a select committee, The bill was read a second time and ordered to be com mitted on Monday next. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL. This bill was read a second time. MUNICIPAL CORPORATION MORTGAGES, &c. On the motion of Earl DE GREY this bill, the object of which was to give power to corporations which had bor rowed money on the security of their property to repay it by instalments, or otherwise, without the intervention of trustees, according to the system already existing in Ire land, was_read a second time. . . Their lordships then adjourned at a quarter to seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Calne Railway Bill were considered and agreed to. The following bills were read a third time :—Andover and Redbridge Railway;- Tewkesbury, Upton-upon- Severn, and Malvern Junction Railway. The East India Coal Company Bill and Highland Roads and Bridges Bill wore read a second time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of the total abolition of Church-rates ; against the Highways Bill ; for repeal of the duty on hops ; against the Scotch Fisheries Act ; in favour of the improvement of the position of poor law medical officers in favour of the Government Reform Bill ; in favour of the Medical Bill, &c. RETURNS. _ _ Mr. BOVILL moved an address for return of the seve • ral parliamentary boroughs in England and Wales having a population of less than 12,000, according to the census of 1851; showing the total number of electors in 1832-3 and 1859-60 ; the number of freemen and the number of elec tors minus freemen, with the number of members returned by each, arranged according to population (in extension of parliamentary paper No. 132 of the present session, which is confined to boroughs having a population of less than 7,ooo).—Ordered. information on the subject; but that he understood from the papers that the fight had taken place in Hampshire. It was a matter for the attention of the county and not the Metropolitan Police. BANK NOTES. Mr. ALDERMAN SALOMONS moved for a return of the bank-notes issued by the Issue Department of the Bank of England_ in. each we..l of the present year, from the 4th January to the 11th day of April in elusive; showing the amount remaining in the bank ing department in each week, and the denomina tion and amount of the notes in the hands of the public; similar return for the corresponding periods of the years 185 G, 1857, 1855, and 1859 ; and, weekly return for the same periods of the notes issued by the Issue Department, with the securities and bullion held against them.—Ordered. PUBLIC BUSINESS. In reply to Hon. MEMBERS t Lord PALMERSTON said that it was proposed to proceed with the New Lunacy Bill on Thursday and the Reform Bill on Monday, and that Government business, according to the resolution of the house, would be taken on Thursdays instead of Fridays, but that the former day would be at the disposal of private members. . LONDON CORPORATION BILL. The second reading of this bill was postponed till this day week. ADULTE RATION OF FOOD AND DRINK BILL; This bill was read a third time and passed. COUNTY PRISONS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time. COMMON LODGING-HOUSES (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time. SUPPLY. The report of the committee on supply was brought up and agreed The, house adjourned at quarter-past five o'clock. TEE FIGHT FOR IHE CBAMPIONSIIIP. The following is a mßre extended account than we were enabled to give in 2ini,. Sun of yesterday : —Time was when the Championship of England was an office which conferred honour on the highest, when " Marmion, Lord of Scrivelhaye, of Tamworth tower and town," held a grant of the lands of the Abbey of Polesworth on condition of doing battle in single combat against all knightly enemies of his King. The fashion of this office, however, has passed away with the days of chivalry, and lance and battle-axe have been laid aside to become mere things of show and no more used by men. The Dymocks are still extant, but the modern Champions of England know them not, and the pageant warrior who threw down the gauntlet to some hundred ladies and gentlemen in Court dress at a coronation has been succeeded by a race of brawny and muscular fellows, men who "mean fighting, and nothing but it," and who vie with the athletee of old in their rigidity of training and immense powers of endurance. At first there was no lack of Royal patronage for the new race of champions. In Broughton's last prize fight he was backed by the Duke of Cumberland, who almost acted as his second, and few great battles took place at which one or more of the sons of George 111. were not present. Sir Thomas Apreece nearly always seconded Gully, until that champion retired from the ring, and having realised a large fortune, sat in the House of Commons as member for Pontefract. In those days a noted bruiser was thought good company for any man, and we hear almost without surprise how, about 40 years ago, Lord Camelford " assisted Belcher when he fought Bourke in the churchyard of St. George's, Hanover- Equare, in the presence of some 10,000 spectators. Those were the " good old days," the " palmy days" of the ring, about which the sporting journals are always so pathetic as having gone by,—we are glad to say, never to return. He would be a bold peer indeed who would have seconded Sayers yes terday as Lord Deerhurst used to second Spring ; and what would be said now of a cathedral town offering, as of old, £5OO to the combatants to beat themselves almost to death within its reverend precincts ? The new Police Act has been the death of pugilism. Its greatest professors now lead a hole-and-corner life while training, or issue forth their challenges in mysteri ous terms. From this rapid downfall it has been just now for a time arrested by the first attempt to carry off the Champion's belt into another country, —and, of course, that country was America. There is no disguising the fact that this challenge has led to an amount of attention being bestowed upon the prize ring which it has never received before; and, much as all decent people disliked the idea of two fine men meeting to beat each other half to death, it was nevertheless devoutly wished that, as some- body was to be beaten, it might be the American. There is no doubt that Sayers had the good wishes of nine-tenths of the community. There seemed something almost patriotic in its way for a man of his light weight to encounter a brawny giant, who describes himself as being " half horse, half alliga tor, and a bit of the snapping turtle," and who, in addition to all these qualities, has proved himself to be as clever and formidable a prize-fighter as ever entered the ring. We need scarcely enter on any recapitulation of the events which led to this match, be summed up i n th e f ew words, " the belt " as th e Ch a mpion of E tahl n la g to l fS a w n aye ir d h , c a sh n h d mo i la n dys virtue of his office, while he retains it, is bound for three years to accept all challenges, no matter from whom. This challenge accordingly came from America on Heenan's part, and, in spite of the immense natural advantages of his challen ger, Sayers was bound to accept it. All relating to the day and place fixed for the match was, of course, kept a profound secret, as the police, to do them justice, left no means untried to prevent its taking place. Nevertheless, in spite of all precau tions, a special train was hired, which started from London bridge at 4 a.m. yesterday merning. The train was one of immense length, containing some thousand persons, all of what are called the upper classes, though each person was muffled up to the eyes in shawls and wrappers, so that it was hard to say whether your conyagnon de voyage was or was not the redoubtable Savers or Heenan him self. All along the line police were posted, with mounted patrols, at regular distances ; but the train turned off at Reigate, and after a long run came out in the Farnborough station, close to Aldershott. In an instant after, all were out in the fields, following the men with the ropes and stakes, who led the way across what turned out to be a most difficult T here seemed a constant succession double hedges a n d dit c h es , w hi c h were crossed at last more or less successfully, until a pie o c f e of country. rather narrow stream, or very broad muddy ditch (the Blackwater), which divides Surrey from Hamp shire, brought all to a full stop. A few venture some spirits essayed to leap thi s , b u t th e ir success was not such as to encaurage others, inasmuch as most contrived to light in the very middle of the water, and those who did gain the opposite bank had only to jump back for their pains, as the ring was formed on the Hampshire side after all. the instant the enclosure of ropes and stakes, 24 feet square, was formed, Sayers stepped into it, and was cheered tremendously. Heenan, who followed, was greeted in the same manner, and the two men, who there for the first time met, warmly shook hands, and then stepped back to take a long and careful survey each of the other. There was a toss for corners, which Heenan won, and chose that in which he would have the highest ground, and with his back to the sun, leaving Sayers the spot where tho glare was full in his face. Umpires for each man were appointed, and a referee for both, and these preliminaries over Heenan proceeded to strip to his waist. It seemed impossible to restrain a murmur of admiration at the appearance which he then presented. In height he is about six feet two, with extraordinary long arms, deep chest, and wide and powerful shoulders. His appearance yesterday was truly formidable. Exercise and long training had developed the immense muscles of his arms and shoulders till they appeared like masses of bone beneath the thin covering of skin. There seemed not an ounce of superfluous flesh. His ribs showed like those of a greyhound, save where they were crossed by powerful thews and sinews, and as he threw up his long sinewy arms and inflated his huge chest with the morning air he looked the most formidable of the tribe of gladiators who have ever entered the arena. Every movement showed the sinews and muscles working like lithe machinery beneath their thin fine covering, and every gesture was made with that natural grace and freedom which always seem to belong to the highest develop ment of physical power. Sayers looked at him long and earnestly, and as one who saw in his every movement a dangerous customer, and he too stripped in turn. The contrast between the men was then still more marked than before. Sayers is only about five feet eight ; his chest is not broad, nor are his arms powerful, and it is only in the strong muscles of the shoulders that oue sees anything to account for his tremendous powers of hitting. Sayers, too, looked hardas flint, but his deficiencies in regard to his antagonist in height, weight, and strength, and above all, length of arm, made it almost a matter of surprise how he could hope to contest with him at all. When to these disadvantages are added the superior height of the ground on which Heenan stood, and the light of the sun full in Sayers' eyes, it will be seen how tremendous were the obstacles with which he had to contend. As far as training went, however, the utmost had been done for both, and it would not be a lost lesson if some of our young volunteers imitated the boxers in these re spects. Their whole system of training may be summed up in two or three words—moderation in eating and, drinking, exercise, and constant use of the sponge bath and rough towels. With these aids any MAll can train ; without them he can do nothing. Heenan's skin yesterday was, as we have said, fair and whiteAs.marble—Sayers's as dark as that of a mulatto ; and the fancy" leant strongly to the opinion that the ,former was too delicate, and would bruise too much—and this was true. As the men stripped the spectators sat down out side the ropes, about s i x f ee t di s t an t , i n an outer ring, in which were gentlemen of all ranks—mem bers of both Houses in plenty. Authors, poets, painters, soldiers, and even clergymen were present. There was a minute's pause atter the final shaking hands, when the seconds retired and left the anta gonists face to face at last. Both instantly put themselves into position—the right hand held close across the body, the left advanced at length, and kept moving gently out as if to feel its way. The immense difference between the height, weight, strength, and length of arm of the men was new more than ever manifest, and the disadvantages under which Sayers laboured appeared to many to be too much for him. The sun shone bright and full in his face, so as almost to blind him ; yet Sayers seemed cool and confident, and smiled cosily as he ventured in reach of that tremendous mus cular arm. Both seemed very cautious. The feints were quick and constant, and as each avoided the other with more or less agility neither could help laughing. At last Sayers caught a slight blow on the mouth, which he returned heavily, drawing first blood from Heenan, amid shouts of congratu lation. Both seemed still more cautious, and after much sparring and warding off an intended blow with the speed of thought, both stopped and looked at each other with hands down. After a little rest, they , again sparred and closed, when Sayers gave his adversary some heavy body blows, and got down easily. Each man was instantly attended by his seconds, who carefully sponged his body and face, and rinced out his mouth with a little cold water. Again they advanced. Each seemed then to know his antago nist better; the sparring was quicker, and the huge muscular arm of Heenan went backwards and for wards with immense rapidity. Three times he hit at Sayers, but out of distance, and apparently as if to put the Champion off his guard ; at last he darted forward like lightning, and dealt Sayers a blow in the mouth which sent him reeling. Tom, however, as if to show how little he cared for it, at once ven tured close to his hugh antagonist—too close as it proved, for the long arm of Heenan was shot out like a dart, and with a heavy blow on his fore head Tom was knocked almost into his own corner. There were great cheers at this, and though Heenan seemed very pleased, Sayers took it as a matter of course, and went back to his corner, apparently unconcerned. Here he was sponged for a minute, and returned with a deep red lump across his fore head, and his mouth slightly- disfigured, though with far less punishment in appearance than could have been expected, owing to his skill in jumping back ere the blow reached, and thus weakening half its force. He was smiling, and seemed quite at ease as he again approached the American in his own corner, who was very careful not to leave it, in order to keep Sayers with the glare of the sun in his face. This seemed to perplex Sayers much, and he again presented an opening, of which the Benicia Boy instantly availed himself, and with one blow dashed Sayers to the ground. Again there were tremendous cheers for Heenan, and ironical con gratulations to the Champion in the young novice he had met with. Those who had backed Sayers seemed rather depressed ; the betting gradually became even, Heenan being almost as much in favour as the Champion. There were loud cries of "Time," at which Heenan advanced to the centre of the ring, and waited for Sayers, retiring as the latter advanced, till the American again had the benefit of the higher ground and the sun in Tom's eyes. Sayers now found it was useless attempting outfighting with a man of such enormous strength and length of arm as the American, he therefore tried to dash in and got a slight blow at Heenan, who returned it with a very heavy one, which sent Tom staggering back, and after some further ex changes, all in favour of the powerful young American, Sayers got down. Again the men were attended to, and again Sayers came forth, much marked and with a heavy cut over his eyebrow, to cope with Heenan in his own corner. This time the sparring was so long and cautious that at last both men put down their hands and laughed. Again they began, and after a few feints Heenan dashed out his left and for the fourth time fairly struck Sayers to the ground with a very heavy blow. The effect of these repeated blows seemed almost greater on the spectators than on Sayers. The latter tried to treat them lightly, but around the ring a very different opinion was entertained, and Heenan was backed to win, and was cheered and encouraged to the utmost. Both men were duly wiped down, and Sayers's head and face, which were now smeared with blood and heavily bruised and bumped, was held close pressed between cold sponges to keep down the contusions, which had now altered his deep sallow hue. Shouts now went round the ring that Sayers had virtually already lost, and indeed the punishment he had received was so much more severe than that bestowed upon his tall, wiry antagonist, who seemed always smiling and always fresh, that matters really began to look serious for the Champion, and almost to warrant the belief that " the belt was going to Troy." Apparently roused by these shouts to stronger efforts, Sayers came on again, and, watching his man cautiously, stepped back from a dreadful blow aimed at him, sprang in before the American could recover himself, and gave Heenan a terrific smash full in the eye, splitting up the cheek and sending his huge antagonist reeling like a drunken man back into his corner. The effect of this blow was so tremendous that even before half a minute had elapsed Heenan eould scarcely be recognized as the same man, so swollen, disfigured, and blood-stained were his features. There were loud cheers for Sayers. who went up to Heenan's corner and peered into his face with a curious, half puzzled expression, as if he too was astounded by the effects of his handiwork. Sayers now let no time slip, but catching a most formidable blow of Heenan's on his right arm, again dashed in, and gave in return a still worse blow to the American, following it up with another, which seemed to smash his nose, and almost knocked Heenan off his legs in turn, so that he required the most careful attention from his seconds to make him fit for the next round. The betting now chauged again, and if Sayers was not a decided favourite, there at least seamed nothing to choose between the two. All the rounds had been long and cautiously fought, but the hitting had been dreadful, and both men began to show signs of fatigue, and after long sparring, in the seventh encounter, both paused, rested, and at last retired to rince out their mouths, which were very bloody, with water. As they came up again Sayers at once dashed in and gave another terrific blow to Heenan, which sent the blood pouring down over his broad chest, and seemed to make his huge form tremble like a child's. Heenan paused for a moment and then darted in, but Sayers got under his guard, closed, and after iving him some heavy body blows , both fell , Sayers under. It had been noticed in the last two rounds that Sayers made not the least use of his right hand, with which in all his previous contests he had admini stered such terrific punishment that a full blow from it may be said to decide the fate of a battle. The reason of this was now painfully apparent on his again stepping into the ring. In stopping one of Heenan's tremendous blows it is supposed that one of the bones of his right arm was broken, Certain it is that the limb was frightfully swollen, and so powerless that he could only manage to support it across his chest. From this time, therefore, Sayers fought the rest of the battle with his left hand, only seeking every opportunity to ease the evident pain of the injured limb by opening the hand and resting it on his chest or ribs. He, however, advanced smiling, as did also Heenan, though the features of the latter were so distorted that it was hard to say what he was doing. Sayers, notwithstanding the loss of his right arm, still pushed in, and gave the American another f ear f u l blow, which sent him staggering back to h ave th e blood wiped from his gashed features, while Sayers as usual pried in with a curious look to see what mischief he had done. The blow, however, though dreadful to look at, seemed to have no effect on the gaunt iron frame of the American, who was quickly out, and after some slight sparring again launched forth his powerful arm, and striking Sayers on the nose with a blow that was heard all over the meadow, he felled him like an ox. This round lasted 13 minutes, and the men seemed so distressed at its close that each had to be carried to his corner. The seconds had much to do with sponging their faces and washing over the marks of their wounds, though some of Heenan's seemed too deep to be meddled with in this way. Time was loudly called by the umpires, and the American instantly rose ; Sayers was much longer coming up, thpugh he seemed almost fresher of the two, but not nearly so strong. As soon as Sayers was in reach Heenan gave him a heavy blow over the eye, and almost FRIENDLY SOCIETIES Mr. SOTHERON ESTCOURT presented an address for return from each of the registrars of friendly societies in England, Scotland, and Ireland, of the form of the general statement of the funds and effects of a friendly society, prepared pursuant to the Act 18 and 19 Vic., c. 63, s. 45 ; how many of such forms were sent out by each of such registrars in the month of December last, and how many of such general statements, or copies of the last annual reports of friendly societies, were transmitted to each of such registrars on or before the 31st day of March, 1860. —Ordered. RESERVE NAVAL FORCE. Sir C. NAPIER gave'notice that on that day fortnight he would draw the attention of the House to, and move an address to her Majesty'on, this subject. CHUitCii RATES. Sir J. TREL A WNEY hoped that the Government would for the convenience of the house and the public make a statement as to whether the Church-rates Bill could be proceeded with on Thursday next. DISTRESS IN THE WEST OF IRELAND. Mr. HENNESSY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the Government intended to take any steps with reference to the great destitution prevailing in the west of Ireland ? The hon. member stated that he would also ask what reply the Government had given to the letter, .dated the 18th of March, and signed by 28 Roman Catholic bishops, with reference to the system of national education in Ireland ? Mr. CARDWELL said that, unfortunately, there was great distress in the part of Ireland alluded to by the hon. gentleman. lie was in communication with the able gentlemen who superintended the working of the poor law in Ireland, and he had every reason to rely on the opera tion of the poor law, but he could hold out no hope of any other interposition. INDIAN FINANCE. Mr. VANSITTART asked the Secretary of State for India which of the following financial estimates of the deficiency of income as against the expenditure of the current year ending the 30th April is correct, namely, £10,250,000, as per the statement made by the Secretary of State for India on the Ist of August last ; £0,449,981, as per financial balance-sheet drawn up in Calcutta in Sept. last ; £9,290,129, as per estimate submitted by Mr. Wilson on the 18th Feb. last to the Legislative Council of Calcutta; and, whether ho can state the cause of these discrepancies, Sir C. WOOD said that even from the most recent infor mation he had received he was not in a position to account for the discrepancies in question. Last summer he had made a statement relative to Indian finance, the Govern ment of India made a different one, and Mr. Wil son one that was also different from his. How ever, it was satisfactory that there had been an im provement in the income of India since he had made his statement. • THE PEDESTAL AT WATERLOO-PLACE. Mr. E. JAMES asked the Tide Commissioner of Works whether any person was about, to place anything, and, if anything, what, upon the summit of a pedestal which has been standing for twelve months at the southern end of Waterloo-place, ; and if anything was to be placed there, when it might be expected to be done ? Mr. COWPER said it was intended to place a statue on the pedestal to commemorate 'the bravery of the Guards at the Crimea. The statue was entrusted to Mr. Bell, and he believed it would be worthy of the object proposed. MORTALITY ON BOARD OF VESSELS BOUND TO INDIA. Sir DE LACY EVANS, asked the Secretary of State for War or for India, if the statement in the public journals relative to the mortality which had occurred on board of various vessels which had arrived at Madras and Bombay with the wives and children iof soldiers bo correct; and, if so, what department or officer may be regarded as respon sible for any neglect of due precautions, if such had been, in connection with this lamentable event ? Sir C. WOOD could not state exactly the amount of the mortality in question, but he believed it resulted from the number of the children on board those vessels. ARMY ESTIMATES. In reply to Gen. PEEL, Mr. S. HERBERT stated that it was not the intention of Government to proceed with the army estimates lint after the second reading of the Reform Bill. THE CHAMPION FIGHT. Mr. TIADFTELD inquired of the Home Secretary for some information relative to the fight alleged to have taken place this day between two pugilists—whether the police were present and whether they interfered, and if the Government intended to take any steps. Sir G. V. LEWIS said that he had received no ofUcial PUCE 4D. STAMPED, SD. immediately after a still more fierce one on the mc t ah species of barter mouth and no se , w hi c h now i n poor S a y e rs seemed all knocked i n t o one. Th ere was s li g ht sparring, and ebrio n. Sayersexchangedbda h ii.te i e t w s r , bb a ea l the profit spit p n r t o i ? e t i,t;nihdeteh of f blood the un pleasant A from his mouth, and was laughed at by some of Heenan's supporters. An imprudent ebullitian, in asmuch as Sayers seemed stung by the taunts of the Americans, and again springing in, gave Hee nan a blow which sent him tottering back, follow ing it up with another and another, and a fourth tremendous one in. the mouth. Heenan seemed staggered by these fearful visitations, and reeled like a drunken man, leaving himself so unguarded that if Sayers had had the use of his right arm the fight would have ended there and then. As it was, however, Sayers dared not trust himself in the grip of an antagonist so immensely his superior in height, weight, strength, and length of arm, and he could only follow up his advantage by giving another heavy blow with his left in the mouth, and a most tremendous smash into the American's ribs, which sounded all over th e mea d ow a s if a box had been smashed in. In a minute after, however, Heenan came up trying to laugh, but only to receive a still worse blow in the face, which covered him with blood, and sent Sayers himself reeling back from the force of his own blow. There was a short pause, during which Tom, as usual, scanned curi ously the dreadful effect of his hitting, and both went at it again, each exchanging heavy blows till both were covered with blood—.especially the Benicia Boy, who in the end rallied and hit out fiercely, knocking Sayers down with an awful smash. The powerlessness of Sayer's right arm was more than ever manifest in this round, which lasted nearly 20 minutes. He seemed unable even to move it from his side, atid it was fortunate indeed for him that Heenan himself makes very little use of his right. Both men now seemed much distressed, and Heenan presented an awful sight. His face, was gashed with apparently very deep flesh wounds, and the whole of the right side of his face, eye, nose, and mouth was simply one huge blue lump. Sayers, too, was badly punished about the mouth, but his face and head, though bloody, swollen, and much discoloured, were almost natural when com- pared with those of his antagonist. Both were very slow to the call of time. The Benicia Boy was first out. Sayers then came out, and Heenan at once, bringing his gaunt muscular left into play, reached over Tom's guard like lightning, and knocked him down with a tremendous blow. Again Sayers was out, though weak, and Heenan rushed to force the fighting ; each hit the other hard, and after a slight struggle Sayers got down, laughing. Another round followed with much the same result as to hitting, but in the close Heenan lifted Sayers from the ground with ease and flung him down heavily. Sayers was evidently distressed, and had not the least chalice in closing with his powerful antagonist. Again there was a little struggle, and Sayers at last got a heavy blow on Heenan's left eye,the only one with which he could now see, receiving in return a blow in the chest, wht,n he managed to get down. Both were very slow in coining up again, and Sayers being dodged round as usual, with his face to the sun, seemed dazzled ; again the terrific long arm of the Benicia Boy came in, and Sayers was knocked down and apparently half stunned. lie required much care from his seconds before he came up again, though when he did so it at once seemed to revive all his vigour, for he made straight at Heenan and dealt him a:blow in the face that was heard all - over the field. His antagonist seemed nothing loth to close for all this, and gave Sayers' almost as bad a blow in return, till they both closed, when Sayers had all the best of it, and, for the first and only time, threw Heenan heavily. In a minute both, though distressed, were at it again, and Heenan, with a fearful blow, knocked Sayers half across the ring. Another round ended, after a few exchanges, with the same result, except that Sayers was even harder hit, and seemed quite stunned. Strange to say, after these tremendous rounds Sayers still came up fresh, and showed not half the awful marks of punishment visible all over Heenan, who was now a disgusting object. His left hand was much swollen and puffy, and his left eye was fast threatening to close as irremediably as his right had done long before. His friends shouted to him from all parts of the ring to go in and finish Sayers by closing with him, as the latter could now only use one hand; but Heenan in turn was getting cau tious, and did not seem to like the look of running into Sayers, who, always cool and wary, never now threw a chance away. Several rounds were fought after this with success more. or less varying, each taking and giving heavy blows, and writhing his battered face into such contortions as might pass for smiles. In all the closes Heenan's immense strength prevailed, and he threw the Champion easily till in both the 21st and 22d rounds Sayers was knocked off his legs. Still he came op gaily, though carefully, and generally managed in most of the struggles to give one or more of his heaviest blows on Heenan's left eye, which was now almost gone like the other. The scene gradually became one of the most intense and brutal excitement. There were shouts to Heenan to keep his antagonist in the sun—to close with him and smash him, as he had only one arm, while the friends of Sayers called to him to take his time, as the American was fast blinding and must give in. The bets were even on both men, and then again varied with every round. When Sayers was knocked down almost senseless under a tremendous blow there were cheers from the Americans till the fields echoed again, which were retorted by the English whenever their Champion sent his huge opponent reeling back from the tremendous blows which were always dealt on the eyes. At this time several policemen came upon the scene, and did their best to force their way into the ring ; but the crowd, which now amounted to some 3,060, kept them back by rushing on the ropes, shouting and cheering the combatants to the utmost. Daring all this the men fought on with varying success, the heavy "thuds" upon the face of one or the other being clear above all the din. Sayers seemed getting weaker each time he was knocked off his legs, and Heenan more and more blind. It appeared all a chance whether the Eng. lish Champion would be struck senseless or Heenan remain sightless, and at his mercy. Sayers now tried getting away, and leading his opponent round the ring. In one of these runs he got a heavy blow on the neck, which enabled his antagonist to over take him, when they closed, and Sayers fell, Heenan striking him a heavy blow on the head while on the ground. An appeal of foul play was made, but it was overruled, as the blow was supposed to be struck in the heat of fighting, and Heenan, it was truly said, could scarcely see whether his antagonist was up or down. The fighting was still very quick, Heenan almost as strong as ever, and, although ap parently much distressed, trying to get it ove r before he quite lost his sight. In the 38th round Heenan got Sayers's head under his left arm, and, supporting himself by the stake with his right, held his opponent bent down, as if he meant to strangle him. Sayers could no more free himself than if a mountain was on him. At last lie got his left arm free, and gave Heenan two dreadful blows on the face, covering them both with the blood, but Heenan, without relaxing his hold, turned himself so as to get his antagoni,t's neck over the rope, and then leant on it with all his force. Sayers rapidly turned black in the face, and would have been strangled on the spot but that the rules of the ring provide for what would otherwise be fatal contin gencies, and both the umpires called simultaneously to cut the ropes. This was done at once, and both men fell heavily to the ground, Sayers nearly half strangled. The police now made a determined effort to interfere, which those present seemed equally determined to prevent, and the ropes of the ring having been cut the enclosure itself was inundated by a dense crowd, which scarcely left the combatants six square feet to fight Umpires, referees, and all were overwhAtued, and the whole thing became a mete Lire mob round the two men fighting. After this tour other rounds were fought, in the midi io f • this, d e nse mass of partisans of either el• si who, owever, a llowed the men to fight in l • Al thefairest way they could, conoisitot with room tot nibt at all. 'weir having hardly any This, however, was, on the whop ; unfair to yers. whose only chance now lay in avoiding the tremendous blows of his antagonist, against whom he contended with only one hand, and who, though now as blind as a bat, was still possessed of nearly all his immense strength, and, to little man like Sayers, very nearly as formidable as ever. In these rounds sometimes Sayers got awful blows upon the head and body, and sometimes he managed to give in return his trem endous lun ges full in the disfigured face of his antagonist. At one time caps were thrown up, and cheers given for when he knocked. down Heenan as having won, Sayers, who would spring to his feet and giv e th e American such staggering blows that he in return was hailed as the conqueror. At length the polies: forced their way to where they were lighting, in a s p ace not much larger than an ordinary dining table, and the referee ordered them at once to dis continue. To do them justice, both se eme d ver y willing to leave off; and Heenan was so blind ths in the last round he could not see Sayers, but i
