HErsAN IN EsaLANp.-A London correspondent of
the New York Post writes:
Heenan is soon to commence his harvest by giving
exhibitions. He goes to Liverpool this week, and ap-
pears in London next week. and may be assured OF com
ing money by his mill for months to come de is burning
for another fight but is considered certain that Sayers
would be whipped, and it will not be permitted even II
the authorities have to prosecute the parties for the hht
which has taken place. and put HeeDan out OF the
reach of victory and Savers out of danger OF defeat
knowing which he will consent to the above compro-
mise.
CouRr1ERs In TRouBLE.-Mr. John Champion, after
he was recalled by the English Government from his Of
fetal position in this country, made baronet and
sent to st. Petersburg, under the title OF Sir John
Champion, as British Minister to Russia While in
the city of the Cars he married Miss Victorine Balfe
the opera singer and daughter of the composer Michael
Bae By the latest dates we learn that the fashionable
and diplomatic circles of st. Petersburg and London
are vastly perturbed at the idea of mere singer taking
the precedence of all the ladies of the diplomatic corps
at the Russian capital There have been instances OF
English noblemen marrying singers and actresses before
now but before has the ambassador and
tative of British Majesty been so thong htess At the
very latest dates the troubled courers had devised no
scheme for their relief

IA The Republicans at Chicago appear to have
had toeraby rough time of it, arising out of the ea
ougy of the Free Soil State delegates against admitting
to full and equal fellowship the sneaking persons who
assumed to represent Maryland Kentucky, Virginia Mis-
souri, and Texas On the floor of Black Republican
Convention. Finally the vote of these States scaled
down. and then it resolved that majority of all the
votes cast should be sufficient for a nomination.
The platform correctly stated in Geographic
dispatch of yesterday. We give in full that portion of
it in which reference is made to the territorial question
That the dogma that the constitution carries slavery
ance with the provisions of the constitution and is revou
tionary in its tendencies
That the normal condition of the territories freedom
and when freedom threatened becomes duty
tain that provision of the constitution declaring that
should be deprived ohbery property without due
of law.

GEORGIA AND THE CoNvENTIoNs~-Judge Bennng,
the Chairman of the Georgia delegation which withdrew
from the Charleston Convention recommends, or behalf
of the majority of the Georgia delegation, that con-
venton of the Democratic party of Georgia be called
and that that convention appoint set of delegates to
attend both the Richmond and the Baltimore Conven-
ton-there seeming now to be disposition on the part
Of the latter convention to concede something on the
platform.
Judge BenniDg proposes this course in the view that
the Richmond Convention will hold itself simply in po
stion of advsement ready to be changed into of
cooperation with the Baltimore Convention if any fair
understanding be arrived at in relation to the plat
form.
He says: cit will be perceived that the question of
platform will, in all probability, be again opened in
the Convention when it assemblies at Baltimore That
question is not beyond the power of the Convention as
I was assured by its President, Gen. Cushing"
Of the Richmond Convention, called one week before
the reassembling of the National Convention at Ba
more, Judge Benning says:
"Such Convention as that invited to assemble at
Richmond will furnish opportunity for securing con-
cert of action in the matter of obtaining proper plat
form from the Baltimore Convention and, also, for Sc
curing concert of action the matter of the measures
to be adopted in the hopes of proper platform
from the Baltimore Convention should be disappointed
From this as we'll as from other indications, and from
facts within our own knowledge, truly say that
the seeding delegates with few noisy exceptions still
maintain position of friendly advsement with, rather
than of hostility towards the National Convention, and
that all the cheap thunder parties who denounce that
National Convention as the Free Soil Wing" ETC.,
etc. is treated with much contempt by them as by
us,

DIFFER1NG.-The Courier and Observer differ from
the Caronian in regard to the number in attendance
the Opposition ratification meeting in Fayetteville this
week, which was addressed by Maj. F. D. Poisson, of
Wilmington. According to these papers the attendance
was very respectable in point of numbers AS there
appears to be misunderstanding about the matter,
and we copied from the Carolinian yesterday we
deem it just to say that the Courier states that there
were between two hundred and fifty and three hundred
persons in attendance upon the meeting in question The
official account, of course says it large and enthu-
siastic"
We have thus stated both sides of the newspaper ac-
count of the meeting AS to the speaking-Mr Poisson
is well enough known in Wilmington to render any quo
tation comment from Fayetteville unnecessary and we
have nothing to say"
