THE DAY'S NEWS.

Most 'people will at first be disposed to doubt
the actual fact that, yesterday morning, Tom
Sayers, " the Champion of England," notwith-
standing the severe punishment he received' in
the great fight the previous day, .attended a
meeting at the office of Bell's Die, to settle the
question, for the renewal of the fight for the
-championship.. •. .fie looked, it is said, quite fresh
tend vigorous.. 'lt is by no means so wonderful
:that poor Heenan did . not, show -face. Let
us, hope that two men who have shown
themselves, each to be possessed of such
indomitable " pluck, may be prevented
from renewing• the conflict. Surely each has
already sufficiently vindicated his prOwess, without
further maltreating each other. Why should not
the following (in the circumstances) humane sug-
gestion from Bell's Life be carried out, rather than
have such a brutal combat repeated ? Whether
the match will be fought out we cannot at present
say. Both are; . doubtless, anxious to have it
settled; but, •for-- ourselves, were we asked, we
would say each is so good that he is deserving a
belt, and we would call on our countrymen to
subscribe for such .a trophy 'as a reward for
Heenan's enterprise and boldness in coming,. as
he' has. done, to beard the British Champiok,on
his-own grounds" ' • .
Another deed of horror, it -will ber-seen, was;
yesterday, added to_ the frightful list with which
the public has recently been unhappily too fami-
liar. The "'greeh-qed monster"—`jealousy—has
again. secured another victim in the person of a
younginani'only twenty-four years of *age, who,
under the :influence of that passions plotted-the
death of a respectable young woman of the same
age,. which he deliberately effected by cutting her
throat. y..T ;fi, 7,7;

• A very artomalotts • dispute has arisen between
some of the Lancashire shippers of goods to the
East, and .a London contemporary. The former
assert that they can continue to died these Ship-
ments with the sure prospect of a large. profit,
while our contemporary'warns them, as he says,
on the best authority, that such a course is unpro-
fitable, and must be imPindent. It is 'certainly
rare that 'we find -fortudate speculators proclaim-
ing their great profits, as sucha statement would
naturally tend to bring too many .competitors
into the market; while, ‘oifthe• other hand, the
supposed anxiety of London houses to save their
Lancashire friends,is as gratuitous as it has been
unusual. We mention the enonialy Without
pretelkding to explain ,it. •
During their, afternoon sitting yesterday, thc+
_ attention of tin- toita occupied with
thite several: subjects; each; howeVer; accord-
ing to 'vtilgat conipittation at least; - possi,ssing
some sort of 'moral or monetary affinity for each
other, namely, Election Expenses, Lawyers, and
Jews. The first subject, introduced by the motion
for a second reading of the Conveyance of Voters
Bill, was rather ut delicate point With some

However, the same argument cuts two ways, and we
may just as fairly ask, if the present expedient is
necessarily only temporary, why, for the sake of
a mere idea, force the two I-touses into ColliSion,
seeing that no immediate practical good is to be
realised. These .were the sentiments expressed
last night by several good Conservatives, with
