lHe CoulpleteSl udVesly OF popular sentiment IN
relation TO the recent Fight between SAVERS and
HEENAN, as well as the neatest bit of Unconscious
satire upon the interest which the affair has excl
ted, has been perpetrated by Mr.. AARON JONES,
formerly Of England, but now q resident of New
York city. Mr. JONES himself is pugist not
unknown TO fistiC annals and TO fame. Albeit
somewhat unfortunate in his own experience in
the Prize-Ring, as professor of the manly art
Mr.. JONES has achieved an envable reputation
Under his skilful tuition, the mind and muscle of
Mr.. JOHN c. HEENAN were in great measure pre-
pared and formed for the late encounter and that
hero duly instructed in the art and mystery of
Stopping 'countering, and delivering we'll from
the shoulder, and taught how to use his 'mawleys
and to save his own mug from punishment, and
10 inflict the greatest amount of damage upon the
frontispiece of his adversary. In HEENAN's fight
with MoRRIssEY, Mr.. JONES acted as the former S
second, having come over from England for the
express purpose of assisting that interesting oc-
casion. When-after the fght-Mr HEENAN
made the tour of the States, Mr.. JONES accompa-
MED him, and divided with his principal the APP
plause that greeted their appearance in the prin-
cipal cities of the UNION. Besides, Mr.. JONES has
himself been a competitor, an unsuccessful one, it
is true, for the Champions Belt of England He
has had the honor of being whipped twice by
Mr. SAVERS, and was about to receive drubbng
for the third time, when the match between Say
Frs and HEENAN was made up. 1t was to the
rare courtesy of Mr.. JONES, in waving his own
prior claim upon the time and attention of Mr.
SAVERS, that Mr.. HEENAN was indebted for the
opportunity of meeting the Champion on the 18th
of April. Evidently, therefore, Mr. JONES is a
gentleman of experience and reputation in the
pugilistic world, and an authority of weight upon
all fistic matters As such, his opinions in refer
ence to the late Fight are entitled to the highest
consideration, and will be read with interest He
has kindly given them to the world through the
columns of the New York Herald A letter to the
editor discloses the feelings of modification with
which he has perused the newspaper accounts of
the Fight Although an Englishman, Mr. JONES
has the candor to acknowledge that the Champion
was fairly whipped The accident of birth cannot
close his eyes to this fact, nor to the vet more
humiliating evidences of decline of the spirit of
Fair Play among his countrymen Mr.. JONES is
deeply mortified at the behavior of the English
pugs on the occasion of the Fight His manly
soul is grieved at the reproach which an
honorable profession has sustained in conse-
quence, and the feelings of a man and a pugist
triumphing in his breast over those of an Eng
lishman, he gives vent as follows to his indigna-
ton and sorrow ''From the various newspaper
