The representatives of the New York
press have expressed in ironical terms their
opinions of Patrick Francis Slavin, for

L. JOY, who is uEques tiOnably one of the
best Judges of'pugilism and puglists in this
country, expresses his opinion Of SlaYin in
this manner:

man aItef lie makes such an effort 10 gain the
gOou cruces of the public? Can it be that they
