GOSSIP ABOUT THE FIGHT.
Tie London correspondent of Tie Ballast Nos-
sfter supplies the annexed gossip about the late prize
fight:
This little operate misunderstanding naturally sug-
gests further reference TO the famous hight, about
which every Is still talking. The attendance at
l. the fight included persons of all ranks and degrees III
the social scale. Indeed with the exception OF the
bishops it would appear that every phase OF high life
adequately represented. There Were dnkes' peers
of the realm members of Parliament, barrsters, Off,
GERS of both services, and cergymen who, one would
suppose might have found more profitable employment
for their time and money elsewhere. Among the men,
beers of III, arstocracy the Duke of Manchester,
the Duke of Beaufort (Aunt SALLY the MARQUIS of
Stafford the Earl of Mamesbury the Earl of Carnar-

SIR. | Am sure Won will allow me 10 make few
observations on behalf of the gallant Benica Boy who

He is accused Of having acted unfairly, in having
nearly tbrOtled Tom Saycrs and IN having bored nm
down against the ropes until he was black IN the face.

been pronounced to have acted fouy by the referee,

Again, he seems to suffer IN public estimation because
he is bigger than Sayers. That is certainly his advan

Savers deserves all credit for having continued the
