We acquit Tom Sayers Of any foreknowedge Of their

that he should net lose, and seeing thciT case desps

1t IL impossible to extend our remarks on this gal
LIANT fight to the length which It's merits deserve Il
wss up TO the unfortunate termination decidedly the
very best championship fight wsever witnessed. 1t was
TO the time aforesaid fought out with manliness,
fairness, and determination both sides worthy Of
the highest commeDdatioD Without an attempt a.
shifting, each scorDed to take mean advantage and
loudly and repeatedly was each Of them cheered.
The game displayed on both sides was remarkable.
The guttony ana bottom OF Tom bayers are too pro-
verbal to need further comment a. hands; bat
certain rumOrs have been Hsiog about 10 the effect
that Heenan destitute Of those qualities, we deem
right to express our belief that gamer deter
mined fellow, never pulled shirt OF. His punish
ment was terrible, and yet be took it, rouDd after
round, without hirching, and almost invariably with
8 smile on his face. We are bound to own that IN
this, as in his talent, be has very agrseaby
disappointed us; End had We not known bus
career we certainly should never have get hin do Wa
for q novice. He has excellent delivery with
bis left which was az straight as dart, and early IN
the fight was very heavy. 1t appears 10 us however,
that he hands Tot strong, for before half the battle
wac got through his ef. band was much swe,,ed
TO be almost useless and this doubtless fortunsa
for Tom, who, with dis night gone, could have,
made but poor stand against sucl a weapon had It
retained its original hardness OF his night Heenan
makes but little use, but this 10 quality he may yet
learn. OF his condact at the conclusion Of the battle
we cannot speak in too strong terms. Wetruet il
Cecasioned by the state OF excitement in which he
OWNS TO the ring been broSeD, and by the fact that
being almost blind he took the unoendng seconds Of
his opponent for other persons. We assure him
that such conduct is not calculated 70 gain hin friends
in this country, and thai if be allows his temper to get
the better Of bis Judgment again IN similar way II may
cost him dear. Or Tom Sa ers we need cay 10 more
than Il he fought the battle throughout with consum
mate tact and Judgment and, considering that bis
right (his principal weapon) was rendered almost
usees from the commence nent too much praise
car not be awarded 10 him for his courage and cool
ness. We of opinion, without that arm, that
he would eventually have pulled through, had toe
fight been finished the day bat it is useless specl
lGt ng csses which may yet again be brought on FOE
trial and shSl therefore leave the pub c 70 form
their own opinions. On the question Of nationality the
only point that has been decided the only point in
opinion requiring dec SOU, is, that both England
and America possess brave cons and each country has

would call on our couItrymen 10 subscribe for such
troshy as a reward for Heenans enterprise and bold
ness IN coming az he has done, to card the British
Champion on his Own ground. A meeting will doubt

The lopg-proiected fight between John G. Keenan,

England, took place yesterday. By O'Clock ia the
morning the visitors 10 the scene of action were con-
veyed from she n-bridge Station, and they

lours and three nutes during which time thirty nine
rounds were fought Sayers drew " first blood" and
Heepan claimed the first knock down blow. Ssyers
I'D not show many signs OF punishment but his rgh.
lrH, his auctioneers, he calls IT, much in

blows. HeeDan once got the Champions head under
lis arm, and seemed about 10 sirangle him, bot the
mob iItefeTed. The referee subsequently Quilted the

more skDmisbes were made, Keenan, seeming indifsr-
