'nis question of the excise'duty on paper seemed to in volve the araxadqiieetioneof direct or indirect taxation. 'O‘a, the Chamber had wisely abstained hitherto from' l aterferinewith the mode in which the revenue of the country should be raised. The question*as not Whether i t was advisable to repeal the duty on Oaper, but what wig the right of the Lords on the question; and he aught it would be unwise, dangerous, and detrimental 4 ) • .• ote influence which he hoped the Chamber *mild lona l ad ' possess, if they so far departed from the course j,, l a clown by their rules and the cOnstitution of the „ "amber, as to entertain the question at all. Hecould agree with Mr. Macfie; but Watild • Movea--, " That in le, present position of the rinestion . as affecting the eacise ditty on piper, this Chamber, in conformity with , aales a eanaot consistently cor s'.der the motion which Lard Monteagle has given notice of iu the Lords." • s Mr. SHEIL fully agreed with what most of the gentle llien who lied preceded him had said .on both sides. To f a u 3 •Tnincl there was• no question that the Lords hada a'ght to throw out the bald they pleased—(hear kt that did net alter their position in the slightest degree. That ;Chamber had already pledged itself by giving a decided opiniOn against the excise laws, espe iaially against the paper duty ; and he could not for the aae of him' see why they should give an opinion to the ,cane of Comm Ons, which the House of Lords should h ave no intimation of whatever. He could not see any `ganculty or improprietrin their approaching the, house ° I Lords, to express their objectiOris to excise laws elierally, and the paper ditty p4tienlat•ly. He believ,ed l athat no man conversant with commercial or manutac teir ring affairs, could doabt that excise laws, with all restrictions and Arrarigeniefas of inspection, must n e cessarily be injurious to the prosperity and industry ‘' the country. Holding that conviction, what difficulty g old theie 'la approaching the Lords, in the most i e sPectfalaarms, begging them not • to reject that bill, cause they thought if it became law it would be bene aeial'te the general interests of the public. There were n O . p • olities in that; it was a privilege which the people England had always exercised ; and it would be t.inae if, because the Commons bad sent the bill up with their approval, that Chamber should not also - ex press its approval. It was a question which they might say, without arrogance or vanity, they were quite " well acquainted with as the House of Lords. 'tin. BUSHELL_ replied,—Mr. Shell had asked what' 4 I Sca4y there was in their dealing with the question. 1.4 aa a few words he could show the Chamber what the "aheulties weret First, they were a Chamber of Gorn tree, and, as the chairman had shotinhy their rules, la aY were a body instituted for purely commercial pur rees. The debate which had taken place , showed that h ere Was A great difference of opinion as to Whether the allestion could be dealt with - by them.: He had already itrl. 4 that the' pe o pl e ' h a d a r ight to deal with this ques a!lt ally way they thought fit ; but they were not the rPie; they were a Chamber of Commerce, and the e Presentatives -of certain bodies, of whom they were e°lllposed. But there was this other difficulty upon the pestion itself, which Mr. Sheil did not seem to have i t tl a llY considered ; this question had altogether changed aspect since they first considered it. When first con kalered it was a question whether it was wise to 'repeal the duty an. paper, and' they Were unanimous ; , but , hat was its position now ? Since then a budget , ;rd a French . areaty had' been brought forward—. a l !ee their Ihere had been a retention of war he en oil tea and sugar—since then there had a eh an Increase of the income tax to meet this abro rO' the tax upon paper ;—and out of doors would 4 1 1 Y gentleman say that there bad not been an immense a▪ hge of opinion in reference to the repeal of the paper ? They should getrid of the duty if they could, 4 t not attempt it whether they could or no. ,They ;ere in a double' difficulty. First, they were: in a t leult.y as a Chamber of Commerce, and • therefore not at▪ led'to touch this question at alt, because it wag Mr. Rawlins had said, no longer a commercial ( Plesticin. It hid become, .as he himself had told them, Lgreit constitutional qaestion. low, he wanted to ew what the Chamber of Commerce had to do with a Feat constitutional atiesaion. He. should protest, whilst al. i *as a member; against its taking up a great eonsti ,,stonril (recede*. They were not the people of England 1, they were not in the category of the three tailors of ''aleyastatet. If it was to be considered, let it be con ;area 'bar the People, and their opinion taken whether Was-the right time to _ repeal the *duty on paPera aat af doors he should be happy to take part in the reeedings ; but he humbly yet firmly protested against the Chamber taking the question up. ti kr. RAitthisri.—l did say it was a great constitu dal question, but I Said a constitutional question ing directly upon the trade andacoMmerce of the to 1 , ( tatty, and upon which we ourselves had emphatically 4n i ntaincecl. • t atr. Besnarta said he should be most happy to second s !,.; Clint's motion, which was then worded as follows : That this Chamber cannot, consistently with its acon stitutional laws, e x p r ess any opinion upon the notice of archon given by Lord Monteagle in the House of Lords as ' the rejection of the bill repealing, the excise duty on r.

Move a simple negative, and then we c ome to the question. - . Mr.' SwurroN Boo= agreed with. Mr. Bushell alto aatheaupon.the constitutional 'principle, and the course l t hat Chamber ought to take upon such questions ; but he submitted th a t th ere 'was a much larger question 'a:volved in the resolution proposed. It went to this t ltent, so far as he understood it, that the Chamber Zi o louneed: for itself all right to petition the House of rclis in reference to any pending measure affecting the taxation of the country. He thought that could not be intended. Mr. BUSRELL . —NO no. We do not Wish to put it so. BOULT thought the motion as it stood was one t /t 4 '.tieh that Chamber was perfectly competent to enter n and dispose of; but he - was quite with Mr: Bushell , : and I which he believed to be the feeling of the majority g a tha Chamber,, that if the discussion was to diverge questions of 'collision'' the two Houses of p arliame n t a , and the right of the House of Lords to deal ag i th the question 'as it pleased, that then they were tra eding out of their proper functions, and were entertain- . g questions with which they had no right whatever to a e al. But simply as a :question of fiscal regulation it Of ' S quite open to the Chamber to entertain the proposal 0,, Nto t4tIOR to the House of Lords, and it was, equally mn them to reject it if they pleased.- • The ,GaAriumaar 'asked -the mover and seconder to ,_ ee upon the precise terms of . the motion, which was en worded :—"That an the present position of the tl ,estion of, the repeal of the excise duty on paper, this a ., g arnber - cannot, consistently withits constitution, con "aler the intended motion of • Lord Monteagle." This,was moved by Mr. Clint, and 'seconded by Mr. Of Mt. JEVONS said the Chamber had decided the point order by having already taken up the question), every one disclaimed the wish to introduce politics, or t hat th k anything should pass, be said, or intro duced into e .iscussion that would turn it into a political ques ,,?n; but as a' commercial question they we re not La e laded from taking up what-the Chamber h ad alread y 7,..ided upon by petitioning s the House of Comm ons. hi r; r; emthoX 'said all gentlemen disclaimed a d esire make this ,a political question. They had better di scuss the question apart from politics ; becaiiie if a re solution was su b m itted endeavouring to stop them on ef .Paiart of oi;ler they must discuss it in a political p o i nt new, and it was impossible to frame any resolu tion W hich would not be open to the objection which Mr. i e ult had opened out—namely, that they should b e it the functioas of the Chamber so as to preven t t eking up questions of taxation in the House of Lor ds.. e : agreed with - Mr. Bushell as to the und esi rabi lit y of 4 '`sing the question, but thought it better the diseus ,!,.°ll should now proceed amicably, and•on commercial 'altids rather than that any gentleman should b e Prevented from expressing his opinions by a technical taint of order. He believed that in the House of Lords question tio would be discussed as one of direct or direct s d which they all knew had become in ° „ 1 : 13 , e measure a political question, and upon which the a b ainien of the Chamber would not be of the slightest Oil. They were on the horns of a dilem ma ; an d must tast to the good sense of the Chamber for being extri cated from it. . Mr. FRANMS Borax said the . question of direct and a ndirect t axa tion was likely to occur, arid he , hoped andbe much before the public for the next f ew y ears ; 4 he did net see that the Chamber shoul d be re strained, because certain gentlemen in Londo n were ab out f to have a faction fight on a question of taxation, taking up as a c o mmercia l question r ne which t a aff ected their daily bread, which seriously affec ted .I,ae industry of the country. That they should forbidden to do so by a resolution' of their own, "auld, h e thought, be the most suicidal course they Zala possibly take. At the formation of the Chamber i a e -had suggested that such di ffi cu l ties would occur , from e'aPortant commercial questions being made the battle a'4cl of parties. The question of co nstitutio nal right -1 e extraordinary innovation attempted to be made, was atobably most in the Minds of all present ; but they Z e te not therefore to be denied the right of discussing h e . , questibn upon commercial and economical grounds', `"' stating their views to the House of Lords. Camber, FOR'WOOD, as • connected officially with the b ‘ 'n aniber, urged the impaliay of carrying, the question ma ch further. They had already f re ely discussed it as i,..corntriereial . . question. The duty was m ateriall y i' l lnriou s t o th e expansion of the industr of the country; Je,n that the Chamber had already expressed an opinion, t ag he could not see what advantage there could be in ta r enewal of - the' discussion. On the other hand, they, t :ehld look at the results, for they could not, it seemed a a llinfi, touch:the question without theposition of . the gainber being materially affected. Suppose the peti tion of Mr. Rawlins was carried, what' would be the aect'o u t a ide ? People would say the Chamber, having A,!'eady discussed the question as a commercial question, tThat 'occasion is there now, in the peculiar financial . h av e of the country, and when political bearings a a je been imported into the question, that the Chamber a,, ° 4 , 111 d again take it up ? They might even be charged such not taking an honest course—that in discussing at f ew they were creating a party influence. If they petition in favour of this measure in the present t - ton of parties, it would be said—the Chamber it pi n g formerly considered it as a commercial question, a e aas now resolved to give the weight of its name t o p o r it lil the Lords upon a question which has now a ea bearing only, Roeraeren asked hoW the Lords were to know the h a Ptl i n of the country, or the decision at which they Petition arrived, except through the medium of a trea 4°ll . He should: be sorry to see the Chamber coin a6,What h e s h ou ld cons ider the suicidal act of declaring e e l"' they were prohibited from considering questions of th m er taerc e of a constitutional character, merely because r e Was a difference between the two houses. sb o -i l. Desiree's— Zr. Holland says it is right the Lords k (1 know the opinion of the country. How can they there it better than by the majority in the Commons ? Is a en e i , any argument we can take stronger than that ? I al 'the Chamber that even a petition to the Lords rty b e „ of ea aaaa tor party purposes. The commercial part ° Petition wee settled; and he held in' his hand a private ii from lair. ttemling, incylirelilirdisciiiged it on purely constitutional grounds. Mr. RAWLINS objected to" references to a private com munication. _ Mr. S.,BOULT remarked that there bad been no expres sion of opinion by the Lords except notice of opposition by two members. j • Mr. Bustieee-L-Why take any notice at all, then ? Mr. Boner-Circumstances may have altered, and the Chamber that petitioned for the bill may now petition against it. If it were a question of increase of income tar, or ahOlition of the paper. duty, he shOuld vote for the retention of the paper duty. (Cries of question.") Mi. Boum said he had seldom . heard more common sense spoken within a given time. - It, seemed to him-- although he : was not entirely on Mr. Bushell's side, Conservative . (a voice, "No politics ")—Corisetvative of taxes as they stood, which he believed was their policy, - . -he quite agreed with Mr: Bushell and the gentlemen on that gide, that the question had completely changed its pbase ; and he believed, if they re-introduced it, it wee extremely‘prebable that the memorial sent - to the Csmrnons would not . be repeated. As to the right of the Chamber: to petition the llouse.of Lords equally as it did the House of Commons, he did not think there eoidd be any doubt, and lie should be sorry if any resolutions were adOpted giying up that right. Since the budget was introduced,. ot'ents had occurred which - he-believed would have changed even Mr. Gladstone's opinitm. Were tkey to petition the House of Lords to annihilate a million and 'a half of taxes when they most •needed them. He thOug,hte if they had to enter upon the question, they should rather feel grateful oar:Con stitution was so framed that .even in the second stage the means were afforded of :quietly checking a measure which they might wish not set aside, but ,pbstponed. They, were all agreed that excise duties should be abrogated if the Country could do without them, but he believed in his heart this was not the time_ It was against conimon - sense . ; in times go critical as these, and after what they had witnessed within a few years, and when they did not know what might happen within a few hours, that they should jeopardise one penny of a tax ; they seemed rather on the eve of having largely to increase them: Were they to petition to take off a tax which they believed in their hearts could not be done with Out ?- (" No, no.") Mr. Homs:lei) called to order.. Mr. Boum did not, wish' to travel into the general ,question. He considered that the Chamber ought not to abrogate its power, but let things take their course. They should not attempt to add to or slacken the pro gress of the bill. Mr. Curer replied—The discussion showed that the ,question had alreedy,aesuiped a political and party cheer rector. If the billhad been going to thp House of 'Lords in the ordinary way; they would never have been• called together they had been called together simply 'from! its having assumed 'a party character there. He was in favour of a repeal of the duty e but to prevent tlee Chamber getting into difficulty and impairing its usefulness, he besought them, for the' sake of its influ ence with the 'country and the Government, to abstain from entering upon this question in its present position. After some ferther discustion; Mr. Clinti motion was put end lost, e een, members, voting, for it and fifteen against it. • • • • The CHAIRMAN then begged to suggest that they • should be very 'careful in discussing the question. ' Mr. Cffirerowthen proposed, as a substantive resolu tion-e-" 'peat , this Chamber does cot deem it necessary or' expedient to take any steps 'in reference to Lord Monteagle's motion. in-the House of Lerds.' (There were, cries of "That is the same-:it has already been decided uPon.l Mr:Chilt e n said many. members would :not; support the previous motion, ' from the precedent that it might establish, who approved of the spirit of Mr. Bushell's objections. Everybody know that a petition - going to the. HOuse :of Lords would assume a different aspect than a commercial aspect when it got there: (Hear. heat)' Mr. BUSHELL seconded the motion: , Mr. S. Botrav submitted that the resolution was out oPorder ; but thig was overruled. ' Mr. RAWLTNS then 'Proposed, as an amendment, the adoption of :the petition to.the House of Lords which he had preViously read, He had been told by one of ' the speakers that it Was - an exceedingly difficult thing to discuss the question without entering into the consti- _ tational hearings of -it, , end he granted that it was so. He had come prepared to discuss it in its constitutional bearings, and -. regretted the absence of his friend. Mr. Denson, whose substitute he was, and who took the same view of it as he did. He:weuld endeavour, how ever, to look at it only in aeommercial sense. Another point• which he should avoid - would be diecuSsing the• specialities of the question. On the, former occasion when. lie rose to speak he was met by cries —" Why the Chamber is unanimously agreed as to the demerits of" the tax." He should consider that they'still held those opiniims—that they Were Convinced that- this tax was essentially vicious in its character, and ought to be re-• pealed as soon - as possible. 'He knew no source of reve nue which had been so generally : condemned. It was condemned_ by a perliainentary committed in 1837 ; in 1838 it was condemned by a vote of the House of Cern, mons. It had beeii condeninecl by Disraeli invery • ' strong terms. • • Mr. BUSHELL.—I must submit there is nothing in the resolution which admits of discussion into the bear ings of the question. _ The CHAIRMAN.—WO ' have allowed a little latitude on beth sides. Mr. RAWLINS was saying that the tax had been con demned by all our leading statesmen. Above' all, it had been condemned by the Board of Inland Revenue, and it had been finally condemned by her Majesty's Government and the Meuse of Commons in the bill which had gone to the Lords: Now' what were they to do ? He moved that they petition the Lords to pass it, without any reference to Lord Monteagle's motion, 'or Lord Derby's "opposition. He would admit; for the sake 'of areument, all that had .been said about the impolicy of giying up this £1,200,000 of taxation ; but he asked whether it was more important to risk that than risk a, ministerial crisis at a time when— The CHAIRMAN—You are now on dangerous ground. Mr. Iteeweires would content himself with moving the adoption of the petition. ,- Mr. HOLLAND seconded the amendment. He saw no reason why they should not petition the House of Lords 'but; on the contrary, he thought they should tail in their duty to the public, to trade, commerce, and manufactures, if they did not make known their sentiments: - , Mr. Busiatet, said if ever there was a question which that Chamber shoulcltouch :lightly and guardedly, this was the one. They had been told it was a great constitu tional question, involvine.great political considerations. He said on that ground it was not expedient for the Chamber to doal with it. It was also inexpedient, because, since the subject had been before the Chamber on the former occasion, it had already changed its aspect; and, as Mreßouch bad told them, there had been a great revolution in public opinion on the-subject. The petition said, "your petitioners entirely approving of the repeal." Now he appealed, in honour, whethe r any gentleman in his heart had not condemned e -- Mr. RAWLINS thought Mr. Bushell quite out of order. He was not only not speaking to the question, but was imputing motives. , ' Mr. BUSHELL disclaimed the intention to do any such thing . ; but he asked if anyone coming with an indepen dent judgment had not in his heart condemned the re peal otthe tax,at this time ("no, no' ? ") however much he rniebtieve deiired the repeal of that duty on abstract grounds—especially when it wastalzen in connection with war duties on tea and sugar and an increased income tax ? He believed that, if the question were discussed in a public meeting in Liverpool, 99 out of 100 Would b found op posed to the repeal—smarting as we were under heavy losses in every branch of commerc,e--eemarting under increased tares—smarting under war taxes of the past, and looking with apprehension to the future. There were many reasons why the subscriptions to the'Chamber might fall off ; and he felt that_ if they touched -this question they might not only weaken their funds, but their influence in time to come.'- He thought those le g itimate reasons for rejecting the petition. • Mr. Sum, was in' favour of the repeal, because he believed it, a bad and an objectionable law--one of the . worst possible means of obtaining a revenue. Mr. F. Bonier said some members of the Chamber had a strong Pickwickian aversion to the paper duty. They had not' a word to say in defence eef it: It was a , bad, pestilent tax, not fit to exist in any country ; but when its repeal was now Within reach they held beck, could not tee their Way, were afraid of consequences— they saw this difficulty and that—there was a lion in 'the path—and they were not to, petition the Lords to repeal the duty. As to their not being able to - Spare the revenue;' he submitted - that there was never a Government in existence which did not take care to fill the Q►ueenn's exchequer. - (Laughter.) - They need give theniselveS no care; Mr. Gladstone had provided for that: Ho bed:provided for 70 millioes of taxes, but it appeared some gentlemen there were not satisfied—they 1 wanted the £1,200,000 into the bargain. The repeal of the tax would be a benefit 'to the country—a move in the direetion of civilisation, education, improved wages and mode of living for: those who required it, and especially it would lead to the employment of an amount of female laboer which no other manufacture - afforded. Ho for one was willing to pay an increased income-tax to have this tat abolished. in reply to Mr. Bushell, he asseeted_there_ was not otte man in a hundred who had ever considered, the question, or whose opinion was worth a straw,' who would vote for retaining, the tax after it had been virtually abolished. (" Quiestion.") Mr. BOUCH—The question is not whether this tax ought to be abrogated, but is this the time to do it. Mr. SPENCE , contended that this was the very time to deal with the tax, when the work was half done already. It must be borne in mind that it was an ordinary rule with manufacturers and mercantile' men to consider a financial measure as passed when it had gone through the House of Commons. On this faith the large papers must have already made extensive arrangements; and then, again,under the as it had now passed, the English paper manufacturer would be at once expoSed, to competition with the French manufacturer, ' whosee paper was subject - only :to a customs dety e equal to the excise duty imposed; but they would not be on equal terms, as the English maker would be exposed to the grievous restrictions of the excise. We wer . g saddled' with a penny additional income-tax. Let ut, at all events, have•cheap books, as in America. In this country books were the luxuries of the rich, and we had to go to libraries for them. It was pleaded this was not :the time to repeal the duty, from the .unsettled Position of affairs on the continent. , Unhappily, that aslikely no t t o b c o on r t i r so ue fo f r or us ye t a o rs s t t o op co o m ur e c ; a r a e n e d r conditiontherefore w it would of industrial improvement till the tem p le of - Janda should be shut again. What enabled us to look so calmly 'on the tempests howling around Us ? It was a sense of the prosperity of the country—it was the sense of an united people contented with the progress we were making in rational improvement. This was a step pre cisely in the same direction ; paper-making was the last of the. trades subject to the bondage of the excise . laws ; and he thought they could not meet better this unsettled state of- things than by removing the last of thoee obnoxious duties. (Applause.) ' After a few words from Mr. Chilton in reply, Mr. Rawlins's amendment Was put to the vote, and lost by a malbrity bf 13 to 10. : . e Mr. Macfie wished to propose another amendment, but was ruled to he out of. order ; •and Mr. Chilton's motion was then put and carried-11 members voting for it, and 10 against it. The CHAIRMAN called the attention of gentle Men to the fact that the new Customs Act comes into operation this (Monday) morning, and it would therefore be necessary to look at their Customs entries and bills of lading. . Mr. BoucH—They will know it soon enough, Mr. President. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was accorded by acclamation, and the Chamber thou adjourned. • AMERICA.

COMMERCIAL NEW YORK; May 9th.—There was an improved feeling in the cotton market yesterday, and nearly 3,000. bales were sold on the basis of 111 c for middling. Flour, not under the influence of increased receipts, and the character of the late news from Europe, was heavy for most descriptions. Common and medium grades of State and Western closed five to ten cents per barrel lower. At the coliccession the market was rathermore active. Southern flour was less active and ' buoyant, though without change of moment in quotations. Wheat was rather more active at the late concessions in price; with : pretty free sales. Corn was heavy and lower, while sales were moderate. Pork firmly held, while sales were moderate.. Stockeddtive; and the price improved. Exchange ilull, at 1 9N• to 6. • Freights to.

NEW Yoax, May 8. _.; The markets in this country have continued firm in spite of the late-unfavoitrable accounts from Liverpool, and all grades free from dust oesand find ready sale at extreme prices. In the South nothing can be bought in even running lots, classing middling or above, with out paying at least 4c, and sometimes more, above the quotations given annexed. The weather at the South. is not all that could be wished, for the prospects of the growing crop. , Within the past few days the com plaints are more decided.. Frost is reported to have done damage to the crop in .ITpper Georgia, and Ala bania, as well as in Tennessee.. At Mobile the quantity of rain this year in March was 1.44 inches, and in April last 1.60, against 11.04 inches in March, and 7.91 in April, last year. In Florida the crop is late ; on the 2nd M;iy in many places the seed had not yet ger minated. . _ In this market we have had a moderate inquiry from domestic consumers, and a small demand only kr export. The unfavourable hecountsfrom Liverpool have had no influence, holders being satisfied that prices cannot be any lower, at least until the next crop comes to market. Our spinners are not largely in stock, and their business is so highly reniunerative, that present prices are thought mode rate in view of the comparative scarcity of middling and grades above. Yesterday, after the receipt of Liverpool advices viq. Quebec to the 26th April, per Bohemian, there was more looking about for cheap lots, and More disposition to operate. 'o -day, after the, news per Brazil, via St. John's with Liverpool dates to the 29th April, were received, an active demand was 'experienced from spinners, exporters, and speculators ; the sales will reach 3,000 hales, and an advance of c per lb has been hilly established. The lower grades previonSly depressed have advanced about 4e per lb. The sales for the week have amounted to 11,000 bales, closing with buoyancy at the annexed quotations. The export foi same time amounts to—Liverpool, 1,447. bales ; Havre, 677 ; .Glasgow; 94; Bremen, 136 ; 73;seilles, Rotterdam, 21. Total, 2,768 bales.

For all grades, middling and above, the quotations afford no criterion of the market.

Schw e de and • ' LIBERTY OF SA.TIRE IN THE UNITED STATES,--Some Englishmen have commenced the publication of a daily co mic paper in New York city, called 21/oinus. They are said to have graduated at Punch's college, and so may be supposed to understand their trade, but in their very first number they have, without in the least intending it, managed to tread on the susceptible toes of Jonathan. Their principal illustration is called ' 1 Going out with a bad odour," and represents an expiring candle, the flame bearing the face of President Buohanan—a face as uniak.takeable to the American as that of Lord Brougham to the Englishman. This very harmless joke, not half so severe as many jokes that your Fleet-street neighbour has thrown off at such men as Wellington and Palmerston, has caused even Republican journals to get half angry, not at the hit, but at the action of Englishmen in daring to criticise or satirise an American functionary ! There's liberality for you, of the true Republican stamp !—Letter from Boston, LIVERPOOL , - POLICE COURT.-SATURDAY (13efore lcir. RArrixsl) STEALING MONEY. A youth, nai i iied Michael Nyland, who was in the etrtploy ment of Mr. Edwin Carver, St. Anne-street, was charged with stealing money. Mr. Stuck was fot the ekefenet. It appeared that the lad had been charged about th i ree weeks ago, and has been in prison on remand since. The charge against him, in the first instance, was with stealing £7. He now admitted havidg taken £3. In reply to Mr. Bluck, a person from the establishment of the prosecutor said the prisoner was in the employment about nine mdnths, and had behaved himself very well, and there was nothing against him before. He was sent to gaol for one month with hard labour. WHAT PAT O'NEILL GOT FOR NOT EATING A HERRING ! Francis Madden, a resident of Marybone, was charged for having committed a dangerous assault on Patrick O'Neill, a resident of Sawney Pope-street. The complainant had his head bound up, and seemed to be in a weak state. He said, on Fri day night week, about twelve, he went into the shop of one James Cannon, in Sawney Pope-sti l eet, to light his pipe, as he was only just returned from the army, having fought for his country, far away from his true love. The prisoner was standing at the counter, eating a herring. Will you have a bit of this herring ?said the prisoner. No, nays I, I don't want any herring to-night; I want only to light my pipe. Better men than you have eaten herrings, said , the prisoner. No doubt of it; says I; and when I was out in the army fighting for my Queen and country, I eat worse fish. Oh, says ho, you have been out fighting? I'll fight you for 2.. Gd. The witness declined, and having lit, his pipe, he went out, and the 'prisoner followed him. When they got into the street, the prisoner came up to him, and says he, as you would not cut a piece of a herring, nor fight, I will settle your " hash" for you, at the same time striking him three desperate blows on the head with a stick, that left him insensible. A person wbo came up and saw the prisoner beating complainant with a stick on the head, said he stopped him. A surgeon stated that the complainant had three severe cuts on the Ir'ad, and he was much injured ; he was not able to be out since. He was a little better now, but he complained of the sight of his left eye, and the blows on the head might cause a dimness in the eye, and the injury might be permanent. In reply to the charge, the prisoner said he was drunk, and did not know what happened, but when he became sober, he felt he had received some injury in the ribs, though he had no marks. He was sent for trial at the sessions. (Before Messrs. J. AIKEN and PEEL.) A RAD FATHER., John M`Pherson, a master cooper, living in Oldhall-street, was charged for having cruelly treated his son, a fine lad of about 9 years of age. Mr. Bhick Was for theprisoner. It appeared that the prisoner is a widower, that Ile is much given to drink, and for a long time past he was in the habit of treating the poor lad most awfully ; he would come home drunk, and whilst in that state would beat and kick the . boy in a most scan dalous way. Besides this, he kept him almost naked, and often without food, and at last,!a Mrs. Knowles who resides near the •prisoner, communicated with the police, and the result was the charge. The case was fully proved, when Mr. Bluek said he could do nothing under such circumstances, but he would ask for a remand, in order to have some proper provision made by his client for the support of the boy by his father, which would be the best way to settle this painful case. The reque st was acceded to, and the case stands over. The Government has purchased alarm of 160 acres, near Colchester, as a military drill krotind. The Government have fixed this dening for the Attorney-General to proceed with his Bankruptcy Bill. DEATH or BYRON'S WIDOW.—We have to record the death of Byron's widow. This lady, who was horn in 1794, was the only daughter and heir of Sir Ralph Milbanke Noel, Bart., by the sister and co-heir of the second Viscount and ninth Baron Wentworth. On the death of the - other co-heir, Lord Scarsdale, in .1856, she succeeded to the barony of. Wentworth by Writ, the viscounty becoming extinct. She was married to the great poet in 1815, bilt the 'union, as is well known, Was a mdst nrihappy dne for both the husband and wife. Their only Child, Ada, was niarried to Earl Lovelace, and died in 1852. FATAL SAILING-BOAT ACCIDENT. THREE LIVES LOST.—At an inquest held by the coroner at Bright lingsea, on the body of Mr. Thoinas Sadler, a gentleman residing at Maldon, Essex. It appeared that the deceased, accompanied by his two sons, and two young gentlemen, left Malden in a half-decked sailing-boat of four tons burthen, attended by the boatman, for a pleasure trip to Brightlingsea, which they reached in safety. About half-past eight in the evening they left to return, the wind setting fair for Maldon. They had made about four.. miles wheh a sudden., squall' came on, and the deceased, who was steering, as it struck the boat unfor. tunately put the.belm the wrong way, when the water rushed over the stern, swamped the boat, and the entire party were immersed. r Mr. Sadler, his son, and another were drowned, and the, bodies of the two latter have not yet been:recovered. DISTRESSING CAse.The inhabitants of Edinburgh few days beard,with painful surprise that Hector Mackay, son of the late Mr. Charles Mac kay, of the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, has been tried in Canada on a charge of murder, and being found guilty by the jury, has been Condemned to be executed on the 7th of June next. From the few particulars which have reached us, it appears that Hector Mackay held the office of a constable, and having been ordered by a magistrate to pursue and secure a fugitive from justice, a struggle ensued, in which, as it would seem, for self-defence, Mackay drew his pistol and shot his antagonist. Supposing this to be the nature of the case, one cannot _ understand how the act could be construed into the crime of murder ; for there was obviously neither premeditation nor malice prepense to invest it with this setious character. At all events, the unhappy young man, as We understand, lies in prison in Perth, Canada West, waiting the dread execution of the law. The intelligence of the circumstance has given the greatest possible pain to all who remember the many excellent and genial qualities of the late Mr. Mackay, who may be said to have gained a world-wide celebrity by his personation of the immortal Bailie Nicol Jarvie, of Sir 'Walter Scott. Moved by every good feeling, a humble and' respectful petition to Sir E. W. Head, Governor-General of Canada, has been signed by a large number of our leading citezens, headed by the Lord Provost, praying that his excellency will take the case of the unfortunate Hector Mackay into his merciful con sideration, and commute or remit his sentence. The petition left by the mail on Saturday, and we earnestly trust that its prayer may be successful, at least so far as - commuting the capital punishment.--Scotsinmi. A Novrx, TOBACCO MANUFACTORY.—A young girl, named Caroline B—, was arrested a few days ago for selling what was supposed to be smuggled tobacco, but she positively refused to say where she lived, and it was suspected that she was connected with a regular gang, carrying on their fraudulent practices on a large scale. It having been afterwards discovered that the parents of the girl resided at Belleville, M. Outzwiller, a com missary of police, went to the spot indicated, which he found to be an isolated house, communicating with a garden, and well calculated for any illicit operations. Having knocked and rung several times without having been able to obtain admission, the commissary, in a loud voice ordered the door to be forced. This order produced the desired effect, for the door was opened by a man. On entering the place a strong smell of tobacco was perceived, and lying about were a quantity of wrappers with labels of different kinds,.such as Maryland, Levant, Virginia, &c. In an adjoining room was a woman lying in bed, apparently very ill, and the commissary did not disturb her, but proceeded with his search through the other parts of the prenlises, where all kinds of apparatus for the manufacture of Spurious cigars, and also a quantity of powdered wood, cbippinga of burnt leather, and other substances, in tended to be used in making a composition sold as snuff, were found. On again entering the room where the woman lay, the commissary, who had begun to entertain suspicion that her illness was feigned, and that she had thrown herself on the bed to conceal some thing under her, ordered her to get up. This she at last did, and beneath the mattress he discovered a sack .filled with ends of partly burnt cigars, probably picked up in the Atreets or cafes, and which were to be used in the remanufacture of new ones. The man and his wife were arrested, and sent off to the Prefecture of Police. AMERICAN MODESTY.—Nobody doubts that , we are a great people. The fact stands out as plainly as the 4th of July or the battle of Bunker-hill, and is illustrated in a thousand different ways. We have the handsomest country, the biggest lakes, the longest rivers, the highest mountains,, the most extensive railroads, the,best and worst of newspapers, to say nothing of fast men, fast and beautiful women, magnificent babies, and ten thou sand Other illustrious objects of glorification over which a patriotic Yankee will wave his hat and shOut hallelu jahs until he is hoarse. We furnish the gold, grain, and . cotton of the world. Our earth produces the • largest crops, our air flies the highest balloons, our waters float the fastest steamers and clipper ships, and, to finish with the elements, nobody will deny that we get up some of the most extravagant conflagrations and illuminations with which an individual is likely to come in disagreeable contact this side of eternal perdition. Steam has become our serving man, the lightning our errand boy, and, to employ a local term in a general sense, our broad continent is "grid-ironed" with rail roads which carry to and fro the riches of the world. More than this : we teach the rest °of mankind. Our country is the school-house of ,the world. It is here that the present -Emperor Napoleon learned sonic of those lessons by which he has' so well profited, which have taught him to employ, the electric telegraph upon the field of Solferino to convey his orders from point to point, to patronise manufactures, encourage the inge nuity of his subjects, develop the resources of his empire, and to pursue that course in his relations to his 'people best calculated to enhance their power—in a woril, which have demonstrated the fact that Louis Napoleon is nothing more nor loss than a live French man in Yankee breeches, Wo are emphatically a live people. We invent, improve, and progress—sowing mind and reaping wealth. We have talent, energy, enterprise, and opportunity, and whatsoever our hands have found to do we have' generally done it with.all our might. " Advance" is the order of the day. The old sucoumbs to the new, and in a short time an obituary notice is all that marks its former power.—New York Herald. The Opinion Nationale states as a positive fact that the Xing of Naples, wishing to bestow an especial mark of his royal favour upon the notorious Maniscalco, sur named the hangman of Sicily, has appointed his. son (a baby three years and a half old!) to be receiver-general at Capua.

A letter from Jerusalem, in the Monde, contains the following curious narrative : • The Holy Saturday of the Eastern dissident commu nions was again signalised this year at Jerusalem by the afflicting spectacle of the pretended sacred fire. Once more, by their taking the lead in this super stitious ceremony, the heads of the Greek, Armenian," and Coptic. Clergy have abused the credulity of their followers. The Russian clergy at Jerusalem, however, took no part in the fabrication of the schismatic miracle. The Governor of Jerusalem had taken every precaution to prevent disorder. A company of, soldiers under arms were placed in the court of the temple; , pickets of troops of the line were posted at the points where the confusion was likely to occur, and a . double line of soldiers stationed round the Holy Sepulchre, and along the passages com municating with the principle entrance of the temple. The utmost efforts of the military were, however, hardly sufficient to keep free the approaches to the two miraculous openings, close to which stood two deacons, a Greek and an Armenian, in their dalmatics, ready to receive the fire and communicate if to. the deputies from the neighbouring Greek villages, who stood there with lanterns, ready to receive the flame and carry it to their townsmen. About two o'clock, the noisy and inpatient crowd were somewhat silenced by the approach of the superior of the Coptic monks, having a chlamys of many colours thrown over his shoulders,and on his head a tall conical cap; he was preceded by two Mussulman porters, who made him sit down on a stone bench near the entrance of the sepulchre, he not being entitled to enter first. Next were seen advancing from the choir a dozen banners, borne by stout young Greeks, with bare tattoed arms, who took their stand in front of the statues of the Apostles. These youths as they ad vanced assumed a variety of burlesque attitudes, under the direction of a Greek priest with a white beard. They were followed by twelve priests in rich white dresses, and the Archbishop of Petra, all chanting the "Kyrie eleison," and the procession, having twice made the circuit of the sacred monument, stopped before the door. Each of the ministers then hurriedly stripped off his ornaments, and the prelate entered the Chapel of the Angel ; he was immediately followed by the Greek patriarch, and the poor Coptic abbot was thrust in after them. The noise and confusion now attained its height, and the soldiers had great difficulty in main taining their position against the multitude eager to press forward. The miracle was not long delayed ; a pale light was seat to issue from the two openings;, the two deacons caught the celestial flame, and hastily retired, followed by crowds of devotees, anxious to light their tapers at the privileged torch. The nearer its source the fire ,is obtained, the greater are its sup posed virtues. The most extraordinary powers are attributed to this fire, and it is believed to remove all impurities of soul and body. The chief performers remained a short time in the Holy Sepulchre, and then the archbishop, the patriarch, and the Copt came forth with haggard looks, as if overcome by the scene, and were eagerly received by their respective priests in attendance. The farce then terminated, and the specta tors soon dispersed. - The arrangement for the termination of banking business at three o'clock on Saturdays came into operation on Saturday last. The Times has a leader cn the position and prospects of an Irish brigade, in Italy, with Catholics as good. as themselves for adversaries, and Swiss and Austrian levies as companions in arms, The colonial produce markets during the week have been quiet, partly on account of the late heavy imports and partly from the unsettled state of Continental affairs, which prevents any revival of the foreign demand. ASSASSINATION AT MALTA.--T 13.0 dead body of first class constable Serafino Zammit, aged 35, was, on the morning of the 11th instant, found covered with wounds, in the vicinity of Cazal Zeitun. No further particulars concerning this cold-blooded assassination have reached us. There can hardly be any doubt, however, that the same villain who caused the death of Felice Dalli has perpetrated it. Mr. Zimelli has done all that could be done to capture Giuseppe Ebjer, the confirmed thief and burglar, who, it is conjectured, has had a hand in both the foul murders committed within the last fortnight. HARES TARE THE WATER.--Itl the beginriing of last week, while two gentlemen were fishing in Essenside Loch, they observed something swimming across the loch. Prompted by curiosity they got into the boat and gave chase, and on nearing the object they were not a little surprised to find themselves engaged in the rather unusual pursuit of hare hunting in the water. "Puss," if not an experienced swimmer, showed much of her proverbial nimbleness in the watery element, and was not such an easy capture as her pursuers imagined, for it was not until they had had an exciting chase for about fifteen minutes that they were able to run her down. No . cause whatever was apparent for her venturing on this fatal aquatic excursion.—Scotsman. RELIGIOUS REFORMS IN RUSSIA.—A letter from Odessa, dated April 29, says :—" Russia is at the present moment accomplishing two religious reforms. The first is a careful translation into the Russian language of the Holy Scriptures and the prayers of the church. Hitherto the old Sclaironic tongue was _ _ the language used, and as the Latin in the Roman church 'is a dead letter to 'the congregation, so the Sclave has been to the Russians. The translation of both old and ne,w testaments had already . been corn?: menced. The second reform is the abolition of the seminaries, where up to the present not only the priests themselves .reccOed their education, but were obliged to bring up their children. The male portion of the family ivas thus compelled, to adopt the sacerdotal pro fession, whether they were so disposed or not. Thus the priestly character was rendered in Russia purely hereditary as well as compulsory. Those young per sons who were admitted, notwithstanding their not being children of any priest, had to embrace the pro fession nolens volens. In place of the seminaries which are now to be abolished, it is proposed to have a theo logical faculty in all the universities, so that persons may have it in their own power to choose the vocation they ar© to purauo, and not bo made psicata by foroo." REPORTERS IN A " Flx."—Several reporters attended an inspection by General Pennefather,' in the Fulwood Barracks, and were busy recording the complimentary address of the inspecting. officer, when the general , suddenly stopped, and was understood to exclaim, "There are those with the books, or I intended ,to say more to you:" The reporters were immediately ordered to "be off ;", and before they could sufficiently recover from their astonishment to obey the command, the troops approached in double quick time, .and the knighti of the pencil retired before the advancing lines ; but before they could make good their retreat they were taken in charge by a burly serjeant and three privates, who, with bayonets fixed, insisted upon their at once leaving the barracks. As no explanation was given of this strange proceeding, it is a very natural inference, that the bold general had learned from experience to doubt if his speeches looked well in print.— West Sussex Gazette. KOMETIIING LIKE A PRESENT.-It will be remembered that, in the late cruise of the Euryalus, Capt. Tarleton, his Royal Highness Prince Alfred paid a visit to Alei andria to the Viceroy of Egypt, Said Pacha. His High ness, as an expression of his gratification on the occasion, sent on board the Euryalus, for the use of the officers aud crew, the following bountiful supply of provisions, vis.: —Beef, 17,490 1b..; sheep, 132; turkeys, 132 ; fowls, 1,660; bread, 66,000 loaves; butter, 3961 b.; tea, 2001 b.; coffee, 1,8151 b.; sugar, 3,3001 b.; pickles, 400 bottles; salad oil, 330 bottles; milk, 396 gallons; nut kernels, 132 gallons ; raisins, 33 drums ; maccaroni, 1,4001 b. ; apple juice, 66 gallons ; pear juice, 33 gal lons ; pigeons, 200 ; rice, 6,2701 b. ; lemons, 3;000 ; radishes, 300 lb. ; sage,. 601 b. ; eggs, 9,300 ; tobacco, 3601 b. ; ' spinach and leeks, 3,300 ; limes, 500 ; onions, 1,500 ; turnips, 3001 b, ; carrots, 6001 b. ; treuatrusses, 1,3001 b.; pumpkins, 33 cwt. ; celery, 1,3001 b. ; cab bages, 3,000 ; beet root, 3001 b. ; cauliflowers, 1,000 ; artichokes, 1,0001 b.; lettuce, 1,0001 b.; gee, a kind of butter, 50 cwt.; parsley, 1701 b. ; mint, 1701 b. ; pota toes, 3,0001 b.; anchovies, 30 bottles ; capers, 30 bottles; olives, 20 bottles; live bulloeks, 4. BEATING TII E BOUNDS •IN WESTMINSTER.—The ancient custom of perambulating the parish boundaries was performed the other day by the parochial officials of the parishes of St. George's, Hanover-square, and St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, and, in consequence of au ar rangement previously effected, under the sanction of the Queen, that a meeting of the two parishes should take place in the Palace-gardens, and as it was reported that her Majesty would honour them with her presence, there was, as might be anticipated; sufficient interest attached to this unusual incident to oecaion a numerou s body of th . e people to assemble outside Buckingham palace. Precisely at three o'clock, the proces,sion arrived at the Victoria r road, where they. were met by the officials of St. Martin's, accompanied by about 1,000 school children of that parish. The two proces sions proceeded to the boundary stones inside the Palace gardens, where they halted, drew up in line, and sang the National Anthem; the voices of the numerous children having a most pleasing effect. The Queen was seen at one of the windows; and shortly afterwards, accompanied by several members of the Royal Family, presented herself on the balcony, bowed, and appeared to be particularly interested in the pauper children, who cheered her Majesty with great gusto. Her Majesty retired amidst three hearty cheers, and -the . processions departed to their respective destinations. THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. HATCH. Directly after the terthination of the trial of Eugenie Plummer steps were talien 15y the friends of Mr. Hitch to presentU memorial to flit queen, through the Secretary of State, praying.for Ms pardon. The memorial has been forwarded to Mr. Baron Channel!, who tried the case, and is now staying at Brighton for his opinion, but at the time of writing no answer has been returned, and Mr. Hatch still remains a prisoner in Newgate. . _ Much has been said of Mr. Hatch absenting himself from home; but it is not generally known that at that time an attachment had been issued against him in respect of calls upon 200 shares held by him in the General Indemnity Insurance Company, which is being wound up under a decree of the Court of Chancery. A detainer was lodged at the prison, but by the aid of a number of laymen, the sum of £5O was raised and paid by Mr. Holt, of Bucklersbury, by way of com promise, so that when the Queen's pardon arrives he will be free. LIBERATION OF THE REV. MR. HATCH. The Secretary of State has advised Her Majestj , to grant a free , pardon to the Rev. Mr. Hatch, which will be immediately prepared. In the meantime an order for the immediate release of the prisoner was despatched from the Home-office on Saturday afternoon. The following letters have appeared in the Times : 2, Tanfleld-court, Temple, May 17. the Times, after. the report of the sentence of Eugenia Plummer, your reporter makes the observation that the child exhibited no emotion on the passing of her sentence by the judge. This appears to me to be an unintentional error. I stood very near the child during the delivery of the sentence, and I observed she was in tears nearly from the'commencement. Child as she is, she can neither know nor feel the extent of the calamity which has fallen upon her ; but that she has felt it I can answer for, and ask that by the publication of this letter you will in some measure remove the misconstruction to which the observation in your very • influential paper has given rise. It may, perhap s, here not be out of place for me to express my full belief that the child is innocent of the charge upon which she has been convicted.—l am. ITCH obedient ser vant, W.. 4, HOCK, Agent for the Attorney for the Defence. . Athenaeum, May 15. SlR,—The indictment of Eugenie Plummer for perjury, which has just terminated in her convic tion, has been rightly c htracterised by Mr. Baron Channell as one of the most extraordinary cases ever heard in an' English court of justice. With the general merits of this trial I do not propose to deal ; but as the case, when duly considered, affords a striking illustration of a serious defect in our criminal jurisprudence, I am anxious, in the language of the Clapham school of divines, to "improve the occasion." The defect to which I allude is the rule of law which prohibits every person, and the wife of every _person, .who stands as a defendant at a 'criminal bar from giving evidence on oath. Let us see how that rule has operated in the case in question. In December last the Rev. Henry Hatch was indicted at the Old Bailey for the very serious offence of indecently assaulting Miss Plummer, a little girl twelve years of age, who was one of his pupils. Su c h d ee d s are deeds of darkness; and the very nature of the charge almost precluded the _possibility of any disin terested eyewitness being present to confirm or 'contradict the statement made by - the prosecutrix. One would imagine that in such a case, if in no other ; the proper course to pursue would be to hear all that could be said, first.by the accuser, and next by the accused, and then to decide from . the conflict of testimony on which side the truth lay. This seems to be the natural mode of procedure which common. sense would suggest, and which justice would sanction. But the law of England takes' a different view of the subject ; and while pretending b reverence the maxim, aildi alterant parteni, it doggedly compels the jury. - to hear only one side. It .opens the mouth of the prosecutor, but it closes the mouth of the defendant. Nay, it does mere, for it closes . also the mouth 'of the defendant's wife. However material facts may be to which the defendant or his wife can depose, they will not be permitted; under any circumstances, to divulge what they know. In the case of Mr. Hatch this rule ope rated with twofold injustice. Eugenie Plummer, in describing the assaults _which she alleged had been committed upon her, laid the scene of one of them—cOntrary to all that might have bean expected—in the very room occupied by Mrs. Hatch. Here was an opportunity for testing the truth of her story.' Let the jury hear what the husband and wife have to say on tins part of the . case. Examine them separately, cross examine them astutely, and compare their state ments with each other, and with the child's. 0 dear no—that will never do ! They may state what is not true—they may mislead the weak jury. They must not be examined at all. The two best witnesses, next to the prosecutrix her self, are inadmissable to testify. The result was what might have been anticipated in such a state of the law. The uncontradicted testimony of Miss Plummer was believed, and the rev. defendant was a ruined man. One only course was open to him, as affording ,a possible chance of re-establishing his innocence. He resolves to indict his accuser for perjury. Here the tables are turned. He and his wife can state what they know, and the girl's evi dencee annot be heard. The trial comes on, and the verdict of the second j ury is diametrically opposed to that pronounced by the first. No man can blame either of the juries, but every man must feel that both of them have been placed in an unfair position. Each has been forced by law to decide on what was practically an ex parte state ment. There have been two trials, and at neither . has an opportunity been afforded for hearing "the whole truth." I do not intaii 'to suggest for one moment that the last verdict may have been erroneous. I believe that verdict to have been a righteous judgment, but Still I cannot disguise the fact that it would have been more satisfactory both to . the public and to the jurors themselves had the law permitted, as I venture to contend that it ought to have permitted, ,the ex amination 'and cross-examination of Eugenie Plummer.. It was a grave defect in the law which made the second trial necessary ; the same defect iu, the law has made the second trial inconclusive. --I remain, yours faithfully, J.

A` rather amusing American account of the fight appellee in t&I Neth' York Herald:— , One of the ?bloat thronged and interesting locali "ties during the Whole of Saturday and Sunday was " the. Exchange, ' r in Houston-street, the proPtietor of which, • Harry Hill, was present at the figiit, and returned in the Vanderbilt. It was our good kick to drop in while he was nar rating some of the incidents of the fight, and by the aid of short-hand notes we are enabled to present his story to mit readers almost in the language it was given to the tniscellaneous crowd. He said—" There were probably 3,000 people around the ring. • After it was all in order Toni Sayers for a few minutes stood looking at Heenan in a confident sort of way, as if he was taking a measure of the man. Then he threw his hat into the ring, just as coolly as if he had been going . to breakfast. You couldn't see a particle of agitation aboilt him. After a few seconds Heenan threw in his cap, and then Sayers went under the ropes and walked across to Heenan, who' kind of met him half way. Sayers says, How are you, my boy ? A fine morning this.' ' Yes,' says Heenan, we've got a beautiful morning for it.' Yes,' says Sayers, 'if winan can't fight such a day as this he can't fight at all.' " The two then separated. It was about half past' seven o'clock. Sayers walked back to his corner, and commenced in a careless sort of way, to unbutton his clothes, which were of a sort of plaid, in which green and red were the principal colours, turning his head occasionally to take a look at Heenan. You could hear a whisper all around the ring. After Sayers got his clothes off he had a fighting dress underneath, and then for a moment stood leaning carelessly on the ropes and watching the movements of the Benicia Boy. He didn't have much to say to anybody. Heenan was dressed in a suit of gray, with his overcoat buttOned up against his throat, and walked into the ring just as coolly as Sayers, behaving first-rate. Both men looked splendid vvhen stripped, and Heenan especially was almost as fair as a baby. After they were all ready, both men walked up to the scratch and put up their hands." _ . • Hill then went into a description of the - fight, which is already familiar through different 'SourceS, to our readers, and after he was through, several of the company asked him a number of questions. We give some of them i— " How did Heenan take his licking ?—A. Lik e a man. I think he'd stop in that ring till he died. He took every blow- in first-rate humour, and as long as his mug could show a smile, it had a smile upon it. He tried to laugh two or three times 'after Sayers had cut him back ; 'but, 'pop my soul, his face was so out of shape you couldn't tell . whether he was laughing or crying. "Q. Was he badly beaten P—A. I never saw such a head on a man in all my life, and I never want to again. Why, it was horrible, bloody and bruised, and swelled, and all out of shape. " Q.. How was it about Sayers P—A. Why, the more knock downs he got the better he seemed to fight. It didn't appear to produce much effect on him, for he'd fall with the blow, and when he was down would kick his legs up in a saucy way, as if it was all sport—damnedest sort of fun 1 ever see. . "Q. How did they act round the ring ?—A. Damned shamefully. Good many of the . English people seemed to doubt Heenan's pluck, and every time that Sayers got a little the upper hand, .they'd sing out, ' Ere's another sure thing, ain't it, ho, ho, ho, take him away,' and such like exproesions,.blackguarding Heenan and his friends in the worst style. " Q. Were his seconds as smart as the papers say ?—A. Yes, they were ; mighty smart ; and there wasn't a point to be made that they didn't past Heenan how to make it. Whenever he'd get off his ' speed,' they'd check him up and give him instructions what to do. Heenan was inclined to be,a little fast; and if he'd gone on his own hook I ,don't believe he'd got along half so well. . '" Q. Well, candidly, Harry, who do you think is the best man P—A. I don't believe there's a man in the world can tell ; but 1 believe if the fight had been kept up ten minutes longer, one or the other would have been whipped. They were both worse off than I ever want to be ; and they both fought to win. They were game all the *ay through, and no man can grumble for losing his money on his favourite. " Ct. 'How do you think the fight will be deci ded P—A. As a draw, of course. You can't get around it. The referee was crowded out of the ring by, those in it, in the latter part, and I don't . believe he will make any other 'decision than that it is .a drawn fight. • -" Q. Will they fight again P—A. - Some of. Heenan's backers told me that if the other side wanted it, he'd fight the next day but one ; and I heard some of Sayers' men say that he would fight the very next day. I think they'll have it out yet, because you see there's probably 5500,000 upon bets, and every man wants it decided to get his money. " Q. Do you suppose that the referee is a pre judiced man P—A. No, I don't. I think he be hayed fair all through, and his reputation is above any suspieLon of unfairness. . " Q. What kind of blows does Sayers strl9, ? —A. He stiikes a blow like a streak of lightning. You could hardly see it, but you could hear a ' thud,' and the first you knew the blood would be streaming out of some gash he had made on Heenan's mug. He spars beautiful, and so does' Heenan ; but 1 think Sayers is ahead. " Q. Did the Benicia Boy show much science P A. First-rate ; but I don't believe be has the judgment of Sayers, though in time I think he'll make the smartest fighter in the world." Leaving this fire of question and answer, our reporter made his way out. einttratts. TO BUILDERS. WIRR4L 'WATER WORKS COMPANY.
