Norrisssy and Heenan day OF tWoiafter their

reasons, has not delighted the Butfaloniaps to-.

several of his leading friends, among others, Mr..
Mulligau, who plays the Talleyrand to this fstic
Napoleon, and who exhibited no ordinary
powers of diplomacy in the preliminary negotia-
! tons of Wednesday. Morrissey is said to seX-l

pleasure when his task of yesterday was at an
end. He wentinto theiring, he states, with q
full conviction that he should not gain a blood

HE says indeed it wasa much tougher job than

Ibis being glad when it came toFan end. He
adds, also, that whoever fights Heenan for the
future must put up with good deal more,
punching than viii do him good. To-day he
Twas challenged by Heenan's friends to another,
tconflict for 81, 600 side, which, however, he
declined. Previously to entering the ring on,
Monday he declared his intention of making

his rooms, he has not suffered SO severely from

damaged, is. not broken, and, beyond a swelling
around the left eye. he carries no other mark.
He has already notified his purpose of giving an
exhibition here on Monday evening next, with
his second Kelley. He is shfewd, strong
headed fellow in more senses than one, and has
far more brains than most of the crowd around
him. He estimates his winnings on the fight
at 81, 900. Il 5,sssre 4esa.si
Heenan, after taking a bath in the manner Of
the olden gladiators, and having slept for few
hours, rose refreshed as giant and sat all the
morning at Bloomer's smoking a cigar and dis
cuSsing the delicate details of the fight. He
speaks Of the strife of Wednesday with the
most graceful leyity, and, beyond slight injury
to two of his left-hand fingers, does not carrya
