PUGILISM

HEENAN AND AIORRISSEY.

The sporting world is informed by the New York Mer-
cury that Morrissey and Heenan will fight on the 10th of
November next. Both men keep up a system of quiet
training. Morrissey's health is good—his bronchial tubes
were slightly affected, but he is now in perfect condition.
In conversation at Saratoga, one day last week, Morrissey
was asked—" Shall you fight Heenan again ?" He at
once replied—" I certainly shall, and shall whip him too."
He went on to say that he wanted the challenge to come
from Heenan, as Heenan, having
zbeen defeated by Mor-
rissey, ought, of course, to issue the defiance. He said
that he should at once accept the challenge, and added he

—" If you've got any money to bet on the event put it on
me, and I'll win it for you." He continued—" lam con-
fident that I can whip this man. Sayers would have
whipped him easy if he had fought him as I shall fight him.
He can't stand body punishment, and I shall give him
my head to hammer away at, while I make my fighting at
his body. I can outstay him, and I'll win the fight, be
sure of that. His hands will go in a little while, and then
I can take him as I want to." Morrissey, the Mercury
says, "is full of confidence, and wants only, as he says,
once more to face his old antagonist on the turf to teach
him that he is still his master. Morrissey has many friends
who are equally confident with himself, and who with him
will stake every dollar they can raise on thq issues of the
fight. Experienced fighting men also declare their belief
that Morrissey will win the fight, and they found their as-
sertion on the same theory that is propounded by Mor-
rissey, that Morrissey can stay longer than Heenan, and
can take all the punishment his adversary can inflict, and
can then go in and whip him." If they fight it will be for
10,000 dole. aside, and besides the battle money the
two combatants will each bet from five thousand to fifteen
thousand dollars on the event.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DAY

-__

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.•
A LUCKY ESCAPE—A FRIEND IN ♦ CONSTABLE.—
Fanny
Wright, a prostitute and convicted thief, and Eliza- '
beth Emma Cooper, a prostitute, were charged before Mr.
Beadon with being in the company of Mr. Morris Wilson,
of 1, Crescent-place, Brompton, fur the purpose of commit-
ting a felony.
Mr. Wilson, who had previously been charged with being
drunk, was seen by Chapman, 79 C, in company of the pri-
soners, and as he saw in the hand of Wright a £5 bank
note, and knowing her as a thief, he took her and the other
prisoner, who was in her company, into custody for being
with the prosecutor for the purpose of committing a rob•
bery, and the prosecutor for being drunk.
Mr. Wilson said he went into the Rose, Jermyn-street,
between 11 and 12 the previous night with the prisoner
Wright, being at the time quite sober, and having in his
pocket 11 £5 bank notes. He called for a bottle of sherry,
and put down a sovereign to pay for it, the other female
not then being in his company. Ho had only drunk two
glasses when he felt quite overcome, and could not find his
gold. He threw on the counter a £5 note to pay for another
bottle of sherry. but as it got stained with some beer the
landlord refused to take it. He put it in his breast pocket,
and was afterwards conscious of being fumbled by the pri-
soner Wright, and believed he should have lost the whole
of his money but for the constable (Chapman).
In answer to Mr. Beadon, the prosecutor said he would
not swear Wright was the one who fumbled him, but he
believed she was, and also that she had all his gold, about
£4, and the change of a sovereign, because the other woman
had not come into the house at the time.
Sergeant Yeater, C, said that Wright was a well-known
thief, and had been convicted. The man she had been co-
habiting with was at present in prison under a sentence of
four years for felony.
Mr. Beadon said he should remand them till Wednesday
next.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

An unusually small supply of English wheat was on
sale here to-day, mostly in very poor condition. Both red
and white samples of good quality moved off freely, at fully
Monday's advance in the quotations; but inferior kinds
were a slow inquiry, at that day's currency.
There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on the stands.
The transactions, however, both for town and country con-
sumption, were rather numerous, at very full prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were rather dearer.
Fine barley commanded rather more money, and other
kinds were quite as dear as last week.
Fine malt was firm in price, but other kinds ruled very
inactive.
The oat trace was steady, and good sound corn was
rather dearer.
Beans and peas were-scarce, and in request, at very full

prices.
Flour moved off steadily, at extreme rates. The supply
of foreign-made is good.
