The newspaper agents state that the sale OF
papers surpassed anything ever known During
MI the terrible excitement of the Crimaan and In
dian war no such sale was ever reached. The cap.
ture Of Sebastop0l, the relief Of Lucknow, the
battle of Soifefino, had act such an effect upon
the public mind. The Times sold Sl 300 extra
copies the Morning Post, $4,000; Bells Life,

yon told me yon were determined Sayers should
fight Heenan again, said ] doubted whether the

afternoon met one 81 the cabinet Ministers, and
lam authorized to state that Sir George @. Lewis
Secretary OF State, has communicated on the sub.

contest is attempted, not only will the men be APP
prehended but The principals and their seconds in
the late fight will also be prosecuted. Imagining
that this y not exactly what you and Mr.. Heenan'a
friends desire, q acquaint You in a friendly way
with tho facts, and pledge you my word that my

to believe it, you will soon have practical proof
that am right. IadFise you strongly TO give up
all idea of fresh fight, and rest assured You viii

selves into trouble if you persevere in attempting
second fight. would not take upon myself to
write TO You on the subject II had not very strong
reasons, and advise yon to let well alone.
