PORTLAND. December 22.-The steamer
Jusa, from Liverpool, with aGviccs down
to the 10th. arrived this morning. She
brings an account Of what is called "Me great
international .fgh" between IIocnan and
| King, which took place on the morning Of
the 10th at Turnbridgc. King won on the
twenty-fith ronnd, the fight having lasted
81 minutes. The London Times says there
was but little science displayed on either
side
Hcenan's game throughout seemed to be
to close and put the hug on. so as to crush
his antagonist at once by dashing him vio-
lently to the ground. Kings tactics were
different and more crcditahle. 1t is rumor-
ed that llCeuan shoulder is broken.
| The fight between l!eeran and King had
been the all ongrossing topic in England. -
! The papers give elaborate accounts Of the
fight, and Kings victory was uatuFally re-
ceved with great eXutaton. There was no
interruption, and the fight was fairly Tough.
The Times dcvUtcs n leader to the affair,
and publishes a graphic special account.
The Times cdtorially says that llocnan
thought to close and put tie hug, on King.
The lattcrs tactics were more creaitaUlc to
professor OF puglism.
They consisted simply in striking Sc
ries Of sledge- hammer blows On the most
prominent and sensitive parts of IIeenan's
physiognomy, until the latter gave in from
exhaustion. The affair was over in twenty
four rounds, occupying 35 minutes. There
appears to have been hut little science on
either side. hut it was a fair stand up fight
without a check, and ended in n decisive
victory.
The Times concludes by asserting that
prizo-fshting is more rovo!tiug than bull
lighting, and ought to be discouraged.
