The INTERNATIONAL PRIzE-FIGHr--A DECIDED
SELL.-A great excitement was caused yesterday
afternoon by some joke-loving person or persons
unknown. who posted, upon the bulletin boards of
| the Tribune, Herald and Times offices, the follow
ing apparently authentic news:
THE FIGHT!
The VANDERBILT PASSED CAPE RACE AT 3P. NJ.
KEENAN, WAS viCToRIoUs IN NINE RoUNDs!!!
The Champion was presented 10 the Queen the 18th
Her Majesty much pleased with him and expressed
great establishment at the size of his muscle Her Ma
Jesty also announced her determination of putting the
Prince of Wales under Heenans guardianship during his
visit to America,
Dense crowds speedily thronged before the news
paper offices named, and for time seemed tohave
no doubt of the genuineness of the ''news" either
! not reading the closing sentence not compre-
! hending the 'se" OF course the bulletins were
removed by those in charge of the boards, so soon
as their character was known, but this did not pre-
vent the rumor flying all over the CITY of the vic
tory OF Heenan, and of his presentation to Queen
! victoria on the day succeeding the fight.
! Last night the town was flooded by the newsboys
with bogus edition of the Spirit of the Times,
containing detailed report that Heenan had won

The DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY OF CorroN CULrG-
WALTON IN JAMAICA.-These are two-fold: LIST.
| The want Of capital-all now within reach of the
colonists being devoted to the extension of sugar
cultivation, now profitable. 2ndly. Fear on the
part OF the sugar growers that a lighter occupa-
tion may draw away their laborers, or lead to an
advance of wages Surely this fear must be
groundless, for the population of the laboring
class is estimated at 400, 900. The quantity of
| sugar exported annually is less than $4,000 hogs
heads. To grow and manufacture this ought not
to engage more than from 10 900 to II, 600 labor
| ers, or if employed only four days in the week,
! 900. What then becomes of the remainder? If
| we suppose only half, or 100000 to be capable of
labor, and that 100, 600 of them will only work on
their own grounds and $1,000 Others are employed
| in collecting pimento cutivating ginger or
coffee, there will still remain $1,000 to be accounted
for. Is it possible that fair wages, good accommo-
dation and treatment, and light employment will
not attract them to labor for money? A gentle
man, now in this country, offered about three
years ago Is. Cd. each for days task to two
| laborers in agriculture. The offer got wind;
! forty nine insisted on being employed, and more
| than 300 applied to assist on the work. The con-
| sequence that, instead of half an acre, as he
intended, he had to pay for ten of land pre-
pared for planting

doubt whether not he served fifteen days,
| which required by the laws as L have under
