G$5' A rumor is current, on the authority
Of the Halifax, IN. s. Express, that Messrs.
r. N. T. Hunter and John C. Breckenridge,
sailed in the Canada from that port for
England. How they reached that place,
the Express docs not mention, but as it is
known that Mr.. HGnter is absent from his
post in Richmond, IS Secretary Of State,
there may be truth IN the report. These
gentlemen, the Express, says. were appoint
ed ministers to England aud France in place
of Mason and Slidell Immediately on the
fact being a5cortained BY the Confederate
Government, Of the capture OF the last
named gentlemen The HALIFAX Chronicle,
in noticing the report, says:
"The above we give on the authority of
the Express of last evening, but we do not
vouGh for its entire authenticity. We may
mention in connection with this statement
chat for a week past two gentlemen, whose
names, business, and destination seemed to
be shrouded in mystery, have been in Hall
fax, and its possible that they may have
been the Southern Commissioners. If 80,

is all that remains Of them. Others, less
ostentatious in their style Of architecture,
are riddled and torn with shot and she'll;
the furniture broken and defaced; the
bedding ripped aud stripped, taken into
the streets and trodden under foot; ele-
giant china-ware and cutlery, choice
libraries of books, rare works Of art are
all heaped together in the streets, and
are scrambled for as trophies. The old
mansion Of Douglas Gordan--perhaps
the wealthiest citizen in the Valley--is
now used as the headquarters Of General
Howard; but before he occupied it, every
room bad been torn with shot, and then
all the elegant furniture and works of
art broken and smashed by the soldiers,
who burst into the house after having
driven the rebel sharpshooters from be-
hind it. When / entered it, early this
morning, before its, occupation by Gen.
Howard, found The soldiers Of bis fine
division diverting themselves with the
rich dresses found in the wardrobe; some
had on bonnets of the fashion of, last
year, and were surveying themselves be-
fore mirrors, which, an hour or two af-
terward, were pitched out of the win
dow and smashed TO pieces upon the
pavement; others had elegant scarfs
bound around their heads in the form OF
turbans, and shawls around the waists
after the fashion Of the Turks.
What saw in this mansion was re-
peatcd in nearly every one which the
flames bad not destroyed

The Fight for the Championship in
England.

The telegraph has already reported
the victory OF King over Mace. The
event took place in the neighborhood Of
Thames Haven, twenty eight miles from
London.
The combatants entered the ring few
minutes past nine, and after fighting for
thirty eight minutes, during which time
twenty one rounds were fought, mostly
in favor Of Mace, King countered him We
Try heavily on the nose, and knocked him
iuseusibe, and King was declared the
victor.
King won the toss, and selected to
have his back towards the river. Betting
seven to four and two TO one on Mace.
AS soon as they stood up before each
other, the disparity in the hight and size
of the men was at once apparent; King
looked much bigger than he did when
last he stood up before Mace:
Concerning the tremendous knock
down blow which decided the battle, the

Both men were quick to time for
the nineteenth round, when Mace led with
his left aud landed slightly on Kings
face, relreating without receiving in re-
turn. Attempting the same thing a Sc
cond time in breaking ground his foot
slipped, and, of course, his head slightly
dropped.
"King at once sent out his right clear
from the shoulder, got home just under
the left eye aud side Of the nose, anc
Mace dropped as il be had been shot

"This blow was heard all over The
ring
"On time being again called, it was
evident all was over with Mace, for h'
came up all abroad

Mace's forehead, and knocked him down
