tails of the news telegraphed to us from ST. Louis
on Tuesday night. The dates from San Francisco

Terry duel the Times of the 18th says:
All sorts of reports were flying about town yes
terday in relation to the duel The most tangible
were two that obtained late at night. One was
that the parties were to fight this morning at five
oclock-pistos at ten paces-with no one present
principals, seconds and physicians. those be-
ing the conditions upon which the challenge
accepted by Mr.. Broderick-the field to be in an
adjacent county. The other, and we think more
reliable one, was that compromise had been eff
fected on the following grounds: Judge Terry to
retract his assertion in the Convention as to Mr..
Broderick, and Mr.. B. to withdraw his remarks
respecting Judge Terry at the International Hotel.

FIGHT BETWEEN Tom SAVERS AND BOB BRErTLE FOR
| G600.--This pugilistic encounter, which has for
| some time engrossed considerable attention among
the members and patrons of the prize ring,
| brought to an issue yesterday. Sayers is well
known as the champion of England, and has only
| once been beaten since the commencement of his
career. Brette has earned considerable reputation
pugilis and, like his opponent in the affair of
yesterday, had only previously been defeated.
The terms were f400 to f2O0, staked by the
champion, and further bet of 9200 to ego that
Sayers did not beat his opponent in ten minutes
! Brettle is much the smaller of the two, but
nevertheless mis- friends very confident in his
proves. The fight took place at Eckingham, fifty
| four miles from London on the South Eastern
Railway. After fighting seven rounds in fifteen
minutes and few seconds, Brettle put his shoulder
out, and Savers proclaimed victorious amidst
the cheers of his partisans. The fight took place
near a hop field, and witnessed by large num-
Der of the fair sex, who deserted their 20 hopping"
to watch the encounter. Upwards of 1000 people
were present.-London Paper.
