OF Billy Wlson not q word need bs said. Hi,

may DOT be amss, DO vever, 70 say that be is &C Irish
mar by brth-ths. he has lived 10 this country many
years. He figured for q time in Calitornis aud in
wOrissns, tskiDg part in each place in What the
sporting papers would call q we-contssted mill Ia

come off victorious and with great credi. for pluck
and pretty bits Beside this be tas on more than ono
occasion participated in the prize riog in the capacity
Of "sscond," bottle holder" &c. His las. appeal
ance within the roped was in the capacity Of
second to the late Yankee sullivan, when that
lamented Individual had the get to WITH JOIN

his "ms Why's" He plays with them NV aud then
ust by way of keeping his AUD in and that he may
not forget the "maSiy art Of seltdefeose." He did
his pretes in this way elsc'iOo day 10 1856, when
he received majority of all the tes .t in the First

gained the cay For this little ebulton of spirits he
and host Of hs friends were indicted by he Grand
Jury, aud brought to trial. The case was post
poned and p stponed till the Indignant public lost all

affair. Billy was regularly swQen in Alder man, and
was not sent up to Black wells Island. 1t s claimed
for him tba. he strikes only strikers and hits only
those who tread upon his toes and put on airs. Billy,
though cent to the Board as Wood man. showed
signs of rebellion. Indeed be was heard more
than occasion to express himself al,ud to tho
effect I've will not give his language that Fernando
Wood might not after all, be infaible Saoh heresy
could not be permitted. Billy was summoned, re-
proved and cautioned; but Billy replied that he
DIDN'T care nothing for nobody, no how you
could fix it," He really carried his disobe-
dience 30 far as to vote against ono of Fernando
pet jobs-.he Lexington avenue stage route For
this the Mayor resolved TO heap Goals of fire on
Billy head and he ddit. Billy brothern-law, Pete
Duffy (ses Police reports for further iufomstiou), was
appointed Iospec.or of Vessels. Wilson repeuted,
confessed his crime received abs luton and has b,en
doing penance since Billy, Ike his hero, Fer
nsndo is victim of popular PREJUDICE. The tsunts
and jeers flung at him by the envous compelled him
to take down his from his California ticket agency
10 West street. and the place is carried Oh by one
of bis bro.hers-n-law lately arrested for murderog

man. year ago he had the whole Crib
Go. u at his back, and Tom Burns whom
he struck at Tammany Hall the other night at his
eide. But the Cnb has left hs support and Ton Burns
has given bis allegiance 10 another The result Of all
this desertion that though he tried hard he could
not secure the regular nominating delegation, which
met ct the Clemont House the other night. But he
had delegation Of his own on hand, and they nomi-
mated him in the bar room vira roce. Not satisfied
with this, few of his proesse supporters tried hard
to break into the in which the regular Convention
was etI g. but retreated Ast enough when p at Gala
ham, the Sergeant-at Arms, drew pistol and threat
ened to shoot. Yet Billy says he " will be elected any
how" Thete regarded as ominous words, aud
strong arrangements have been made by the rsguard
to prevent Il cir fulSment. Billy says he "never was
beaten in anything yet that he made up his mind TO-"
He has spent his morey so freely that all the boys are
enlisted on his side and will do their pettsst to 90 in
and win.
