20 TIE PRIZE FicHr.-The cities of
New York Philadelphia and Baltimore,
have been, during the last week, laboring
under great degree of excitement. The
fight that came off between Yankee Sulli-
van, and Tom Hyer, both celebrated
pugilists from New York, had for q time,
completely eclipsed the California Gold
mania. Yankee Sullivan is an lrishman
who raver was whipped before. Hyer is
an American, a most powerful and athletic
man. Though Sullivan had more science,
as it is termed, he was no match for the
powerful and active frame of the American
pugiist. In another column our readers
will find an account of the fight. The Go
vernon Of Maryland has made requisition
for the arrest Of the parties concerned in
this disgraceful transaction. Hyer has been
arrested and taken to Baltimore. Sullivan
made his escape down one pair of stairs as
the officer was going up another, in his
tavern at New York.

Texan hunter gives the following account OF
new pass through The great chain ofmountains
which traverse the continent;
lie states, according TO the Houston Tele-
graph, that there. is broad pass between the
vast ranges of the Anahuac Mountains on the
south and the Rocky Mountains or Cordilegas
Of the north, that extends quite ncross the
continent, from the valley ofiha Rio GranIc
10 ,hc valley ofthe Rio tliaqpi. This pass, he
says, resembles the Southwcs, pass discovered
by Fremont, and the ascent to the summit Of
the table lands Of Mexico is there SO gradual
that is appears like au extended plain, and
carriages aud loaded wagons can pass flon
the valley af The Rio Grandc 10 the valley of
the Hiaqui as easily as they can past over
the undulaiing prairies Of western Texas,
The distance from one valley to the other he
estimates at only FIVE hundted miles. The
pass he says, about in the latitude Of twenty
nine degrees extends between the valley Of
Noncloya and The Coehos.
