offered for a place. A great demonstration was to lej
maJe during the evening, but bebre the evening ta?e
the police scut round to say that tue gaK>i .ever was out
of order, and the house was closed.
It bad been determined to commence tbe revolution
at Palermo on tbe 4'J. of April; the eigaal waa lo be a
?ssfcot -hot in a certain spot, following which the
monk?, who rsTOTSd tbe insurgents, were to ring the
bells of tbe Moractcry del' i Graneeia, on die P?MM
delaMorina. '1 he police were informed of ?his by a
traitor, and the signal shot w.i- bre? by theu, thus
precipi'ating the revol... The monastery was sicked,
lour of tbe monks were killed, the others seized and
imprisoned.
As a party of the Royal soldiers were going along
the street c.ijly on tbe morning of thk tight, .hey heard
a tYi??t ce in? from a bot^e by which tley had fast

The fighting, thus beiran, continued daUy tlirong

f1 larently unconcerned. Here he was sponged
or a minute, and returned with a deep

Again there were tremendous cheers 'or Heenan, and

' at whirr H-enan advanced to the center of the ring,

Again the men were attended to, and again Bayers

his eye.ruw, to ccpe with Heenau in his own corner.
I This tini*. the sparring was so long ajd cautious that, at

and was '.heeied and encouraged to the ntmost. Both

aud nlood stained weie his ieaiures. To ere were Led ,
! cheer? for Siyers, who went up to HssMrVi corner |
and peeied into his face with a curious, half par
z'cd expression, asjif he too waa astounded by tbe ef?
fect? ot his own haraiiwerk. -Save.-s now lat no time

Tbe betting now changed airain, and if Bayer? waa I

lapa, S?ll be eame up gayly though carefully, am
generally nrur.ngtd in most of the struggles to give on
or more of bis heaviest blows on Heenan s left eye
which was now almost gone like the other. Tne seem
gradually bee?mo one ot U>e most intense and bruta
exciiemtut liiere were shouts to Hecnan to keep hi
antagonist in the sun?to close with bJni aud soiail
him, as ho had on'y one arm, while 'he friend? o
Havers called to him to take his Urne, as the America)
w?'s fast blinding and mus: give in. Tne hew wert
even i_n both men, and then again varied with every
rotn d. When Sayera waj knecsed down almost ?em<t;
less under a tremendous btoW tnere were cheers froti
tbe Americans till the fields echoed a<ain, when wen
retorted by the Bag i?b whenever their champion sen'
hia huge opponent reeling back from the tremendom
flows whick were always dealt o-j the eyes. At this
time several policemen caije upon the seen*, ami
did their best to force their wjy into thttring; bal
the crowd, which now amounted'to tome 3,06a, kepi
(tie m back by rushixig on the ropaa, t ?tout ng and
llBBllug the combt'aiite- to the BBaoah Dariuif all
this the men fought on with vary iug hujc?8*, ?he heavy
" tbudo upon toe fsce of one o^the other being clear
above all the din. Saj-er? (teemed getting weaker each
time he v.-?? kno'ked" otTbk legs, ?r.i Heenan more
ai d more blind. It appeared all a chance whether tbe
English Chamj ion w.'U-d he atrwoh BBBBBkaBOB Heenan
remain si,btket, and at nis mer.iy. Sayera now tried
getting away, and loading h ? opponent rjund the ring.
in one of thtse iudb be gut a h?savy blow on the nek,
wbuh enabled his Bntagonkt to overtake h.m, when
thty dotad,Bad Sayers fell, Weer.an strkiug him a
heavy blow on the he?d while on the ground. Ao ap
pchi id foul pl?y was made, but it wan overrule.!,
as tbe blow was MBpoaad to be Strunk in the beat
of fiiibtini.', and HeniH ., it w?a truly said, oould
8<*rce!y see whether hw antagonist wai up or down.
The lighting wa? still very quick, Heeurji almost at
atcoag aa evei, and, tht u-h apparently wach di
tressed, trying to get it over before be quite hm hi
tdgki, Iu tbe il&h r"und Heeafi not Suyero'? head
andar hie left arm, aud, nppottbMJ hi'U'-cli' by the
atake witti his rigM, he'd h 8 opponent bent down,
as if he mean' to strangle hix. Sijers could no u .???
free tiajsell than ii'a muuii^ia wa? on him At latt
be got bis left arm free and gave Heeniu two dread?
ful blows un the face, covering them both with the
blued, but He?naa, without relaiing his hold, turned
himself ro as to get hie antatsouitl s neck ovjr the rope,
and then leunt on it with alf bia force 8ayer? rapidly
turneo b'ark in tbefaoe, and wcold have been strangled
on tbe spot but that the rake of the nog provide for
what would otherw se be f-t'-al oontingeucien. and both
the umpires called simultaneously to cut the ropes.
This ?u dote at ou ce, and both men fell heavily to the
ground, Say era nearly half strungled. Thepoliconow
made a determined enoit to interlere, which those pres?
ent seemed equally determined to prevent, aad the
rotes < f ?he ring laving been cut th* iaebsure iteelf
was inundated by a dense crowd, which acarcely left
the eeaioettntoetz square feei to fi^bt in. Umpire?,
iefcrees, and all were overwhelmed, and the whole
thing became a mere close mob round the
two meu fighting. Alter tbis four other rounds
were featht, ? the mid?t of this dense mtas of parti?
sans of ether aide, who, however, a'lowel the men to
fight in the f?ire?t way they couid, coasiateot with their
laving hurdly any room tc ferhtatall This, however,
wus, on tbe whole, unfair to Sayers, whose only chance
now lay in avoid ng the tremeodous blows of his an
tagonkt, Baahrat waoai aa ooatondod with only one
band, and who, though now as blind as abat, was still

It is imperdible to extend our restarks on tbk g al?
lant fight to the length which it? merit? deserve. It
was, up to the unfortunate termination, decidedly the
very be.st championship fight wa ever witnessed. It was
to tbe time aforesaid fought oat with a manlne-., a
! harness, and a deterromation on both sides worhy of
I the highept commendation. Without an attempt at
? shifting, each scorned to take a mean advantage, and
loudty and repeatedly was each of them cheered,
. The game displayed on both side? was remarkabk.
II e grattoay ana bottom of T< m Bayers aretoopro
veibi?l to need further comment at our bands, bat as
Mttflhj rumors have been thing about to an anaat
that Heenan was destitute of those qaaliies, we deem
it right to exprese our belief that a gainer, more deter?
mined fellow, never pulled a sbirt oft*. His pniisO
ment was terrible, and yet be took it, round after
round, without flinching, and almost invariably with
a smile on his face. We aie bound to own that in
this, as i a bis talent, he has very agreeably
disappointed SS| an1* had we not known hi?
can cr, we certainly should never have set him do am
for a novice. He* haa an excellent delivery with
his lefr, which was as straight a? a dart, and early ui
the light wa? very heavy. It appear? to us, however,
that hie lands pre tot strong, for befbie half the ba'.tte
was eot thron/h bis left hm d wa? ?o much ?wailed as
to be almost useless, and this, doubtless, wa? fortunate
for Tern, who, with his right arm gone, could have,
made bnt a poor stand agaiLs.t sucia weapon had it
retained its original hardaebs. Of his rig'.,t Heenan
makes bnt Hule usa, hut this i? a quality he may yet
learn. Of hi? condaet ntthe coDclnaion of the bank
we i amie.t speak in too strong terms. We trust it was
OOneteasd by the ttate of excitement in which he wa?
owuif to the rimr been broken, and by the fact that,
being almo?t blind, he t >ol the unoffending sfotidi of
hi? opponent for some other persons. We anjre him
that such conCuct is not calculated to gain bin friands
in this ee uutry, and iba' il' he allow? ms temper to set
the belter of I'ii judgment a^iin in a similar way it may
co*t bim dear, i fr Tom 8a ers we need say no mor?
than tl at be ?ought the battle throughout with consum?
mate tact and judgment, and, com-iderin? that hi?
right arm (his principal weapon) was rendered almost
tittles from the commence tent, too much prat??
ca?.not be awarded to him for bis courage and cool?
ness. We are of opinion, even witboat that arm, that
he would eventually have piled through, had to?
fight been Unshed on tbe day ; bat it is u?elesa rpeo
liit ng on cases wh'rh may yet airain be brought on for
trial, and we shall therefore leave the pub i? to form
their own opinion?. On the 'piention of natouality, the
only petal that ha? been dec ded, and the ouly point in
our opinion reqoiriop dec ?too, is, that both England
and AnanteS aoreaai brave eons, and each ountry has
reason to be proud of the champion she ha- ?eleced.
Wnethor the match will be fcug.-.t out we cannot at
pre-* nt ?ay. Moth are, dou'jt'e?, auxiou? to have it
settltd; bnt, for * BTSelvss, were we asked, we would
say each ?.-j so gocd that he h deserving a belt, and we
Would call oo our countrymen to sube? ribe for such a
tro., hy as a leward for Been an? enterprise and bold
Maa m coming-, as he has done, to beard the British
Champion on his own trronnd. A meeting will doubt?
less be held shortly to decide what shall oe done, and
full pa'... alar? will a pear in our next. It t? impoesi
bl?? tor the battle to be fought- oat thk week, and we
may therefore at once stole tl at in that easo all bota
are cff. As to the conduct of some of the ring-Keeper?
and their inefficiency, we may have a worl to say in
our next.

The lcrg-projected fight between John C. Heenan,
the Benic'ta Boy.apdJThomas Bayers, the Champion of
Kngland, took pL*ce yesterday. By 4 o'clock m tbe
morting the visitor? to tbe ecere of action were, con?
veyed from she London-bridge Station, and they
ali'.hted near Furnborough. Tb? tight lasted two
hours and tbr e m ?utes, du-iog wbicb rime thirty nine
round? were fought. Sayers drew " first blood." and
Heenan claimed the nrst knock down blow. Sayer?
did not show many signs of puntshmem, but his rignt
arm, or hi* " auctioneers," a? he calla it, was much in?
jured by hi.? tTttemp*? to ward off Heenan'? tremendoa?
Idows. Heenan once got tbe Cnampion? hetd under
his arm, and seemed about to strangle h:m; bat the
mob irterftred. The, referee sib?e*(Uently piled the
ring, and declared a drawn battle, but two or three
more ekbmisbes were mad?, Heenan seeming indit?<>r>
eut a? to whether he hi Sayer? or his secouds. The
mob of people at the tight at the fight wa? immense.

rot as " faithful chroniclers," as the member? cf oar

account of the contest be ween Heenan and Sayers.

Than are times, however, when ths kensitiveness
of quiet ea?y-going peop'e ought not to be ?pared,
and we think tfat hnglieb society which, fore

at Ash yesterday, has no right to complain at being
