BUCCANEER AND THE TWO THOUSAND.
We copy the following letter and remarks from Bell's
Life:-
4, Sir,—Lord Portsmouth wishes me to publish his answer
to my letter informing him I had scratched Buccaneer for
the Two Thousand Guineas. I consider that it would be
paying too great a compliment to the persons who have
tried to fix en odium on the noble- lorci's decision. It is
sufficient to say the horse was affected with sutfeit or heat
lumps, which spread from bis back to his legs, consequently
rest and physic were indisnenefable. With respect to the
unusual variation of the odds against the horse, it has been
ascertained that it was owing to an agent in the st-ble in
communication with certain bettors in London. Lord
Portsmouth and his friends (myself included) have backed
Buccaneer for the Two Thousand Guineas.—Yours, &c.,
" H. I. Rous.
" 13, Berkeley-square, April 20, 1860."

The foregoing letter, which confirms our version of the
cause of Buccaneer's decline in the Two Thousand betting,
is a just and deserved rebuke to Lord Portsmouth's tra-
ducers. During the past week his lordship has strictly in-
vestigated the conduct of his stable boys, end sufficient has
already been elicited to necessitate the dismissal o: two of
them, one being the head lad who looked after Buc-
caneer. Neat week we hope to lay before our readers the
full details of this disgraceful transaction, which is not un-
likely to be the subject of legal inquiry. In the meantime,
we may state that all the parties concerned therein are
known.

TILE LATE FIGHT FOR TILE C 112131-
PIONSIEIP.

FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS.
(From Bell's Life.)
What is likely to be the upshot of the match we are at a
loss to 'conceive. Sayers called on us on Wednesday morn-
ing, and beyond the injury to his arm and a few trifling
abrasions of the skin, and a slight swelling of the mouth,
appeared quite fresh, and certainly no one would have
credited that he had gone through such an ordeal the pre-
vious day. Heenan did not show, but Mr. Falkland, his
friend, offered to fetch him. This, however, was deemed
unnecessary, and sonic discussion took place as to what
'should be done. Macdonald; who was also present, declared
that Heenan meant fighting again, unless Sayers world
give him the be] t, and receive a new belt instead to be held
by him as a testimonial, he (Heenan) promising to uphold
the honour of the old belt, and, moreover, not to claim any
superibrity over Tom. The Champion said this arrange-
ment would be tantamount to an acknowledgment of defeat,
and he could not accede to it ; any other arrangement he
would agree to, but give up the belt to Heenan he would
not without a fight for it. The meeting was perfectly
amicable, but, after considerable discussion, ended without
any arrangement beyond an undertaking that the men
should meet at our office on Friday. The crowd in the
Strand while Sayers was with us was extracrdinary, and
more than equalled what is witnessed on Lord Mayor's day.
On the Champion making his appearance in the street, the
cheering was vociferous, hats wero thrown up, handker-
chiefs waved, and in fact it was more like an ovation to a
sovereign than tgo a Champion of the P:8,., On Friday Tom
and his backers appeared at the stipulated time, and were
met by Mr. Falkland and Macdonald, but Heenan was still
absent. There was less discussion than on Wednesday.
Macdonald said Heenan wanted to fight as soon as possible,
and Tom said he was willing to accommodate him as soon
as his arm was well. It was then arranged that Tom
should obtain a medical certificate as to the probable
time
.he would require to recover, and that by that
certificate the matter should be arranged, and so at present
the Matter stands. That it will, however, yet be arranged
in a, more peaceable manner we are disposed to believe and
hope. We are satisfied that, beyond the mere question of
the belt, it will be far more to the interests of the men to
draw their money and give joint sparring exhibitions
throughout the country, by which they will reap hats full
of gold, and will also gain the good opinion of many who
have expressed strong opinions on the subject, and who
only tolerated the match because it got too far ahead of
them to be stopped. Under any circumstances, we are sa-
tisfied the public, whether the men fight again or draw, will
at once follow an example already set by some of their
friends, and pay them for their colours as if they had both
won the battle, and in addition to this we hope such sub-
scriptions will be raised for both as will evince the high
esteem in which their gallantry, their endurance, and their
other high qualities on the day of battle are universally
held. As aC.II be seen below, we have already received
suggestions and subscriptions for Sayers, and we hope it
will not be many days before we have the pleasure of an-
nouncing similar donations for the brave American. We
may here state that we fully acquit Heenan himself of any
share in the accusations against Sayers and his party, and
against the referee. So brave a man and, so fair a fighter
we do not believe would harbour such unworthy suspi-
cions. We make this announcement for fear that any re-
marks we have made as to others should in any way
militate against him.
We have been requested to state that Tom Sayers was
only got safely to London by being placed in a horse van
belonging-to Mr. Samuel Rogers, at Newmarket, and taken
by post-horses some distance on the road, to a place where,
in a suitable disguise, he was able to make his appearance
at a railway station, and thus get safely to London. We
have also been requested by Tom's father to make it known
that the rumours as to his being of Irish descent are utterly
untrue. Mr. Sayers says he was born at Steyning, Sus-
sex, and his ancestors were for many years inhabitants of
the same county. Tom's mother also and her family were
Sussex people.
