ness doing is of a speculative -c4aracter. The
country demand is unaccountably 'backward, and
the regular trade . have not the means, if they
have the desire of entering the market. Unless

the country trade shall.revive soon a reaction will
probably ensue. Money is getting more stringent

Steamer Columba arrived from the southern
ports,of pregOn to-day, blinking the ,news, of a
horrible massacre of Indians at several villages
around Humboldt Bay, by a party of white men.
On Sunday morning, at daylight on the 26th, at
Indian Island, opposite the town of Eureka,r. and
distant therefrom but 400 yards; more than forty
Indians were killed, three-fourths of'whom were
Women and children. On the beach, at the south
entrance of Humboldt Bay, 40 or 50 men were
massacred, that-being every human being with a
red skin at that village. It , was reported and
believed at . Eureka that a.. simultaneous. attack
was made- the same morning on the. Indian
villages on Eel River.. From what was knoWn,
not less than 200 Indians, men, women, and
children, were killed that morning. These deeds
were perpstpted by the farmers and graziers of
Eel river country, who have suffered from Indian
depredations during the past year. They claim
that the peaceful Indians
,around Humboldt, Bay
have furnished aid and ammunition to the hostile
Indians in the mountains, and hence a war of
extermination has commenced.

THE GREAT PRIZE FIGHT

The last scene in the preliminaries of this great match
was completed, in compliance with articles, on Friday
evening last, at Owen Swift's, when a meeting of a
truly sporting description took place ; the Americans
who have already arrived for the purpose of witnessing
the contest mustering in strong force, and there
took- place au. exchange of those agreeable and
fraternising "notions" relative 'to this great event.
It is satisfactory to know that every arrangement
has been 'made for bringing the contest to a final issue,
the price fixed being £3 per head, and already have
the orders for tickets been to an unprecedented
i extent. The demand for the respectice colours of
;the men exceeds anything . of the kind ever
Iknown. Sayers, as regards his training, is awed
to he progressing in the most satisfactory manner ;
{ indeed, the reports from head-quarters could not
be more in accordance with the wishes of the
most enthusiastic of his admirers. He is represented
as • doing his work . in a manner most satisfactory to
• his trainer, the renowned Bob Fuller. He will, in
• the course of a day or two, be joined by Harry
Brunton, host of the George and Dragon) Barbican
who will stop with Tom throughout the remainder'
of the time, Harry, who will go into the ring with
the champion, being one of his principal seconds.
Heenan is likewise progressing i n the most satisfactory
manner towards putting the finishing touch to his con-
dition, which, we are informed, will be found perfection.
Heenan has had the advice and assistance of John
M'Donald, one of the most expepenced and consummate
trainers,:who possesses that rare judgment and knowledge
of not only knowing what ought to be done, but of doing it
at the right time. With such "handy help" either at
head-quarters or in the corner, Heenan cannot fail to profit
so that there can be no fear of all being done that can in
any way tend to ensure his success. The " boy," it is
stated, will on the day be under 13st., but even at this
lie will have an immense advantage over his antagonist,
who will be something near 2st. under that mark. This
must certainly be looked upon as formidable odds, mad
more particularly when, as in the present case, it is com-
bined with youth. Thus, then, all that appertains to
this eXtraordinary match goes swimmingly on.
