A fire here is very soon extinguished. The

the fight between Heenan and Sayers was
originally fixed tor Monday, but it is believed
that from fear of interruption by the authOri-
ties, it took place on Friday last In that case
the news of the result, for which SO many are
waiting with great anxiety, would be brought
by the steamship Africa, which will be due At
New York about Thursday of next week.
There is some probability that she will be in
tercepted of Cape Race, in which case the
news will reach this side earlier in the week.
