PUGILISM.

(From Bell's Life,)

JOE COBURN AND JEM MACE.
The final deposit for this match, making thell,ooo down,
was duly posted at Harry Brunton's, George and Dragon,

Beech-street, Barbican, on Tuesday, Sept. 20—but although
a considerable number of persons were present, in anticipa-
tion of some arrangement being come to for a choice
of a place of fighting, they were doomed to disap-

pointmeut, no one attending with any authority to arrange
matters on behalf of Coburn, It was now supposed that
Coburn's friends, wishing matters to be kept snug, in-
tended following our advice, and meeting Brunton privately
at our office the next day—but this supposition proved as
vain as the anticipations of the previous night, no one
whatever putting in an appearance. We at once concluded
that Joe intended adhering strictly to the articles, and that
the 22d, the day named in the articles, would be selected
by him—but that day also passed not only without our hear-
ing from him or his friends, but also without any sign from
Brunton on behalf of Mace, a circumstance at which we
were not a little surprised. On Friday, however, Harry
Brunton attended, prepared to act for Mace, and ex-
pressed his surprise that Coburn had not communicated
with him on the subject. Here he was joired by Nat Lang-
ham, who has nominally represented Coburn in this country
—but, on our questioning Nat, he said he had no authority
to toss, and was quite as much in the dark as to what Joe's
intentions were as ourselves. This increased the difficulty
of the position, and we began to have fears as to the re-
sult, but, fortunately, in the nick of time Mr. E. James,
editor of the New York Clipper, made his appearance at
our office as a properly qualitial representative of Coburn
and after a few preliminaries, he and Harry Brunton tossed
for the choice of place, and agreed that the winner should
give the loser notice on Friday next, at a house in the
neighbourhood of Dublin, of the intended trysting place.
The toss was won by Mr James, and, so far as arrange-
ments could then be made, all terminated amicably and

satisfactorily. Before parting it was further agreed that
the representatives of the men should meet between 1 aad
3 on Monday, Oct. 3, at the same house, where the notice
is to be given to agree upon a referee.
During the week we have had several communications
from Mace, two from Liverpool and ono from Manchester,
in each of which ho represents himself as batter than ever
he was in his life. He states that he shall be bigger than
in any of his former battles, and will weigh about list 51b.
From Coburn, as we have stated, we have no direct ac-
counts, but rumour states that ho is doing good work, and
although, perhaps, still a little fleshy, is getting himself into
excellent fettle. We have still heard of but little betting,
nor does the excitement appear to increase, as it did on the
eve of the great fight between Tom Sayers and Heenan.
This is doubtless in a great measure owing to the prevail-
ing belief that the mill will not come off. A very general
feeling exists, amounting almost to a certainty, that the
authorities in Ireland will trot permit the fight, and this
teing so, people seem to take it into their heads that Co-
burn will stick to the strict letter of the articles, and a draw
will be the result. This we can hardly believe will be the
case, and we have every confidence that when the event:ul
time arrives both will be at their posts, and that no unfair
advantage will be attempted on either side, Mr James in-
forms us that in New York there is quite as much betting
as on the Sayers and Heenan match, and that anything
above 5t04 on Mace is eagerly taken. _ _ .

Nat Langham starts this day for Ireland to give his
counsel to Joe Coburn. Telegrams will be sent daily to
the Mitre, St Martin's-lane, with all the tips, and the re-
sult of the fight will be known within a few hours after its
decision.

THE RUSSIANS IN THE BLACK SEA.—The Mom-
teur de la Flotte publishes a letter from Soukoum,
in the Blaok Sea, giving an account of the taking possession
of Adler by the Russian troops, a fortress which they had
abandoned at the commencement of the last war. The
writer states that the 2Sth of April was the day fixed
for the embarkation of the Russian troops at
Soukoum. Seven steam corvettes, one transport, five
cutters, and three sailing ships were assembled in
the roads, The two preceding days were employed is
embarking the provisions an dbaggage et the army. Ten
stages were erected to facilitate the embarkation of the
troops, who were carried to the ships in eight Cossack
boats, four pont )ons, and 16 barges—sufficient to con-
vey 2,000 troops at each trip. Tho boats arrived at the
stages at half-past eight in the morning ;at nine a shot
from the Admiral's ship gave the signal for the troop to
enter the boats; at eleven every soldier was embarked;
and in the course of two hours, the sea being perfectly
smooth, four battalions of infantry, four pieces of cannon,
and four companies of militia, altogether 7,000 men, w?re
on board the ships. At two o'clock the Commander-in-
Chief, with his staff, embarked on board the Tigre. The
