REMARKS.
The hour at which We are obliged to 90 to pressin
to get our large transatlantic edition ready for
the steamer, and the quantity of matter which
VIC have been called upon to write since o'c.ock
Ibis afternoon, precludes from the privilege of
any extended series Of remarks IN this connec-
non. We cannot, however, avoid taking this
to say that we deeply regret the pro-
eeeciings which the friends of Savers adopted to
save him from the loss Of his proud title and at
LIE same time express our belief that il has m
aged him more to retain the trophy from brave
and honorable victor in that way, than if he had
sustained halfa dozen such defeats as that which
was really administered to him OH Tuesday last
We have too good an opinion of him personally
to believe he was in any way party to this out
rage, for no one knew better than himself that
he had been fairly encountered, and that he new
er once had chance to win. H,enan outfuueht
him at every point, and every unbiased mrn who
saw the fight will say without hesitation that any
pretence to match them again would be regarded
as a preposterous proposition by any friend of
Sayers. We hnpe, moreover, that he will not
consent to go through any new farce of that de-
srription. If the battle of Tuesday last was not
to him victory, it viii be quite idle for him to
contend tor one again. We are sorry that we
cannot dwell upon the subject more at length Just
now; but let it be sufficient for the present that
we put in our protest against the base proceed
ings which extricated the beaten Champion of
England from the hands of Hecnan at Farnbo.
rough on Tuesday last, and that we claim in the
same connection, that john c. HEENAN is right
fully entitled to be considered, in a pugilistic
point Of view, THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.

wo undoubted facts-tlat Sayers friends and
packers on the ground were at least as ten to

broken, and the ring filed with outsiders-to set
lie the matter forever: for the pretence Of inter-
ference by the police is sheer hsmbug. Had the
