Knglish pa|*er* by j h e Oanada teem
notices and niscuneiooi about the late
fight. The London Tune-, has a letter
lleorge Wilkes on behalf of He.nan, in
t the American claims tho belt, and in
)ii lighting for it again. He stt vs he will
ribe liberally to gh.-y Sayers another
Ntt the '• champum - belt he must have.
W declines to receive any gait purchased
* English tor him. a coi-re»j_*ondent of
ew York Herald says ;
nan went lo the Times ofhce personally
Btrndict the Hfitenieiit that he was
us for a draw. We are informed that he
I interview With the editor. The result
• lei lei- was most curious; bo was iniiii
with tellers ot every description. The
rated payer which contained the Ameri
can account was returned marked with all
aorts ol remarks, more forcible than elegant:
many letters contained threats that if Ileerraii
ever entered the ringagui;. he should not leave
it alive, and that they would shoot him like a
dog. <)u the other hand, the editor of Bell's
Life has received letters from nil parts of the
United Kingdom containing remittances of an
immense amount for a testimonial to Sayer.*.
On Friday morning the different seconds
X backers of Hie prmcioals root at Bell's
. The reporter of the London Times, Mr.
Howling, the referee, and the President of the
railway wnich conveyed the parties to the
tight, were there. Mr. Sayer* was there, his
race looking very well, but his arm was in a
sling. Mr.lleei.au was not there, although
we saw him that morning out riding, and ap
parently perfectly well. The various parties
evidently were not on theim.st friendly terms.
Savers eyed ihe Americans very savagely, and
did not seem in Ins nsuai good spirits.
The President of the railway gave in his re
turn, and ii« total amount ot tickets sold
proved to be seven hundred and sixty, at $LS
each. There were seventy free tickets, which
were given to the press antl the ring keepers; not
a single American correspondent received a
ticket, but each had to paj bis 815. The Presi
dent showed several forged tickets, and said
there hail been probably over one hundred
used. Tins will account ior the presence of the
pickpock-ets. The total amount of money to be
divided urns SlU£B3— the railway keeping one
half, the other being divided between Savers
and Heeaaa. Macttonald received fjJRjSOO in
gold lor Heenan.
After having settled this business the fight
became the subject lirvnan's friends wanted '
the light toeoroeoffthis week, or ci.-c the party
objecting slioulrt lose. The rules of the ring
are that theHgbt must come off" Within the
week or all bets are to be withdrawn. Of
course the betters on Sayers, who had laid
their money two to one against Hitman desired
to make fresh bets, as the odds could not lie so
greet. The friends of Mr. Sayers finally pre
y ruled upon Mr. Howling, the editor of Bells
Life, to accept a certificate from a physician
that Sayers' arm was not in a condition to
tight, and to wan until it was well. The
friends of Heenan replied that |f Mr. Heenan s
eyes land been blind, no such favor would have
been shown hini.antl that such a course as was
recommended was against all the rules of the
ring. They were, however, compelled to ac
quiesce. Mr. Sayers look but little part iv the
discussion. None can doubt his braveiyorhis
willingness to fight the moment lie is in con
dition. //. mh/. the blows which Heemanlevelled
at him were terrific, and that once when hisse
conets !i<t-d hint from the round fee i oitld not se
tbe ring or anything about him. Many of the
friends of both parties suggest that Sayers
shall present the belt to Heenan out of respect
to him as a brave man, and lor his pluck in
coming ucross the Atlantic, and thai after.
wards Heenan shall give it hack. Mv Heenan
says that may he ali very pretty, but he has
been accused of want of coinage, ami he does
not intend to go back without the belt became
for.
Thought will most prohttMy be renewed,
and that within two or three weeks. We are
afraid poor Tom will get the worst of it.
Tiie number of persons ol rank who were at
Hi.'tight was unexampled in a scene of that
kind. Theeditoroi BeWs Lit, was surround
ed by these distinguished iioblenieii, the Mar
quis ol Stafford being on his right, while the
fluke of Beaufort was on his left. Many ot
tin* K.uis who were announced asheingpre
seathaeaaddressed letters to the papers de
nying it, the Karl of Kgliugiowii being of that
number. Two religious papers charge the
Bishop Of Oxford with being present'; he is
well known as being fond of sport, and there.
tore the public would not be greatly surprised
if it should turn out to be true*. We clip
iroin the principal papers here their opinions
of the fight, and thus conclude our notice ol
this unexampled excitement in the pugilistic
world.
TonaSuyera was received to-day by the stock
broken, at the Kauai Enahajse*. He arrived
there at tine o'clock P. M. Tbe scene was
utu.e eXCitlug. iiesitles the portly and CttgUl-
Bed moneyed men, who had assembled to tlo
honor io the representative of muscle, there
was an immense crowd Of the imperial mass
whii shoaled till their lungs were hoarse.--
Savers, upon his arrival, was presented with
Lit ti by tbe stock-brokers of London, and .{,'.»
was received from ttie Liverpool Stock-Ex
cbange.
Tlte London Star says :
The meichants of Liverpool, without any
solicitation, voluntarily subscribed for him
the handsome sum ol £79. On the same day a
gentleman called at the office of a contempo
rary, and letta handled guineas lor him as a
present for his matchless performance; the
proprietor of the Victoria ami Albert Tavern,
{Uolborn, has presented him with a handsome
silver cup; Morrissey ana performed his pro
mise, aud gi* en Tom his massive gold Albert
guard: another gentleman has promised him
n hundred pounds as a reward of merit; and
several noblemen and gentlemen have deter
mined to get up a subscription lor the purpose
of parchasiag him an annuity for hwgeme
ness throughout all his engagements, but more
especially for the intrepidity, scieni c and man
ly prowess, by which he has just distinguish
ed himself iv his contest with Heenan.
A dispatch lrom Boston states ihat the an
nouncement that the Canada did not leave
Halifax till midnight ou Wednesday was sup
posed to have been made to secure Morrissey
from rough treatment ou his arrival. She left
Halifax at nine in the evening, and arrived at
Boston at six, when no one expected her. A
large police force were ordered to be at the
wharf to preserve order. It is also stated that
Morrissey got quietly ashore and left in the
morning train for \lbauy, to the great disap
pointment of the "roughs." This was a de
ception to turn the attention away from Mor
rissey in New York. He arrived iv that city
Friday altt-ruooii.
[ Balloon Ascension— Perilous Position of
the Jgrsumnt Massg, Wells, who has been
making balloon ascensions, on a small scale,
in different portions of ihecoujitry, for*everal
months past, recently made oue**at Jackson
ville, Alabama, which came near proving his
last. The Republican says.
The temporary furnace for inflating his bal
loon was ert'Cted on tbe public square, north
of the Court-House. A large number of per
sons ot tbe town and viciuity collected at
various places around the square to witness
the teat. The inflation commenced about two
o'clock, aud was continued about two hours,
the furnace being supplied during ihe time
wuli wo.>d and pine, and alcohol lm rued sev
eral time* to hasten the process. Wheu fully
nillateti, Al. Wells got into his hoop and bas
ket, which was suspended by small cords
some"- or 11) teet befow the balloon, and gay v
orders to those holding it down to "let go." In
lining the bottom over the chimney of the fur
nace, however, the lower edge of the cloth of
which it was made took fire. Some of those
iiotdiug it told the aronaut, and tried to put
it out, but he not understanding ihemagain
gave orders to t go," which they did. He
arose rapidly and majestically, waving his cap
over his head, while the numerous spectator*
below rent the air with their loud and repeat
ed huzzas. It reached au altitude where M.
Wells did not look much larger thau a maun
baud,and was wafted by a gentle breeze in a
northeast direction, and landed in a large oak
tree about a mile from the court-bouse. Mo us.
W. discovered the lire when the balloon had
goi several hundred leet high, and used all the
means in bis power to effect a speedy laudiug,
tearing the lire might burn the cords and let
him fall. Soon alter landing, the lire which
perhaps bad been kept from running up the
balloon by its rapid motion, biased up nud
eoou burnt most of it to ashes. When be struck
the tree be caught some limbs, while bis bal
loon lellover ou the other side aud below, out
of his reach, and also out of the reach of those
who were soon ou the ground,and assisted him,
not without considerable difficulty, to get down
out of tbe tree. Tbe blazing buioou was dis
tinctly seeu from town, aud caused some pain
ful apprehension for his safety, which, how
ever, was soon relieved by bis safe return.

S'" R i^ o ,k"V W J 8 a • Jocket memorandum
book. In this book waj the following: brief
memoranda which would seem to give color
to the suspicions sng_r.et.ted by the conversa
tion and manner of the deceased :
"Take railroad in the State of North Caro
lina or at any other point that you may think
most advisable, and the most direct to Mem.
pais, i enn , or to some favorable paint on the
Mississippi. Bnl should yon think itsafeand
prudent lor him to remain either in North or

ii-. T o,uprs connected with the same atlray.
V\ liiist taking a sojourn at any point in order
to hear the result ot this conrt or trial, he had
netfer go under assumed name, other than his
real name."
1 Th i e a *T^ v<> is writt «"» •*•* ink and in a bold
nana. 1 tie following is writien with pencil,
bat probably by tbe same person :
"Ilyou should ever become necessary for
llati—to write home. He will address his
letters to [the name is given but we omit it
he £ e -l Harrisonburg, Va."
There are no other marks in the memoran
dum t>ook, which appears to be quite new-
The deceased was about 94 year* of had
light hair and eyes, and was about six feet
nigh. The papers at Harrisonburg, Va ,will be
ablo from this account to tell whether or not
be was connected with the truck atrair iv that
vicinity, which has caused so much excite
ment and suffering. The above facts we
gather lrom the Mobile Advertiser of the*Jilth
ultimo.— Alexandria Gazette.
Painful (Use ok ri.isj mn R eood
deal ot excitement, says the Pittsburg (Pa)
Chronicle, of May :;, was created in the neigh
boring town of Kutler, the other day by a re
port to theetrect that John M. Hippie,a mem
ber of the Builer bar, and Chairman of the
lie-publican Committee, had eloped with a
Miss Hrinker, of that place, deserting his wife
and carrying away with him large sums of
money, with which, in his capacity as lawyer
he had been entrusted. At first' the rumor
was regarded as a canard, but facts have since
come to light which go far toward confirming
Its truth. It appears that Hippie came to this
city under pretence that he had some hasiness
to transact which required his attention, and
meeting with Miss Br inker who had come
here before lnm, the guilty pair started lor
parts unknown. He wrote a letter to his
wife from this place, in which he avowed Ins
intention not to return, coolly remarking that
he would "never again look on the green fields
of ins childhood !" It is not known what di
rection the fugitives took, but it is believed
that their destination, when leaving here, was
California. Hippie, though a young man en
joyed a large practice, and was, as tbe Herald
status, on the high road to wealth. The amount
of money which he carried of! is not precisely
known, but it is beiieyed to reach three thou
sand dollars. He took with him his eldest
chiltl. leaving the youngest with its mother,
who feels keenly the terrible wrong that has
been done her.
Thk.Tat*anksk Embassy.-The Washington
Star says contracts have been executed wi:h
the Messrs. Willard for tlte accommodation of
the Japanese Embassy during their stay in
thai city.
Tin* magnificent iron steamer Philadelphia,
Captain William Smith, belonging to the Nor- I
folk and Seeford Company, but al present
under the control of Com Mattingly, of tbe
Washington and Richmond route, has been
chartered to convey the Embassy from Nor
folk to Washington, it is stated that, they wili
land with military honors at the Washington
Arsenal, where preparations are now pro
gressing to give them a proper reception on

MIRAf.ES IN THK STREETS OK CHICAGO.—
The Chicago Times says that almost every day,
when the sun is at or near tbe Meridian, and
the sky clear, a beautiful optical illusion may
be seen by looking westward in any of the east
aud west streets, where the view is uninter
r tip ted tor a longdistance. Remote objects, as
horses and vehicles, appear suspended in the
air, or loom upward to colossal proportions.
The illusion is produced by unequal refraction
in the lower strata of the atmosphere, aud its
phases are occasionally very curious aud in
teresting.
A Pretty Thibk and Hunan Place.—A

much trouble found she had wound the rib.

our neighboring city, Charlottesville, and after
making a short rf. tour of the city, led by tbe
Charlottesville Cornet Band, discoursing pa

companies had paraded in large numbers and
marching down to said house met and ten
dered them a formal reception, which was re
plied to by Lieutenant Werrentinker of the

around generally; taken Jo the armory, enter-
Uined in a becoming manner,and finally made
their departure on the Alexandria cats about
7 o'clock P. M., amid the cheers ol our citizen
soldiery and a large concourse of citizens, who
had assembled to bid them adieu. Their visit
will long be remembered by naas an unexpect

when the ''Charlottesville boys" again de
termine to visit, ns, they will give us some
intimation of their visit, and not come like
crafty Indians and pounce upon us in our
peaceful couches—though their present visit
is none the less appreciated from its being un

neendiarism.—On Saturday night last, be
*en the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, the west
<1 in Messrs. Rogers A Miller's marble yard,
ncr of flth and Main streets, was set on Are,
nnd the flames spreading rapidly soou com
mnnicated to the main building or workshop,
which was a two-story frame tenement, in
which the firm bad stored about $5,000 worth
of flue marble mautlepiecee, several unflnish
ed inonumeuts aud other work. The brigade
promptly responded to the alarm, _nd getting
to work with their apparatus, in a very short
time saved a portion of the main building
but not until all ibe stock in it was seriously
damaged by tbe excessive beat and smoke.—
Messrs. R. A M.'s loss is estimated ats4,uoo,
and as they had uo insurance, falls heavily
up m them.
Besides the damage by the Are, several slabs
arid monuments in the front yard were knock
ed down and broken, by others than firemen,
in their effort to save what they could from
the flames. A party of gentlemen, in remov
ing from the buruing building a work-bench,
worth six or eight dollars, is said to have ac
cidental ly knocked over and broke one or two
monuments arid two or three slabs, which
cannot ne replaced for less than *200. Of
course thsir intentions were to do good, bnt in
the excitement and hurry, their labors proved
most v ii profitable.
Messrs. Rogers A Miller will no doubt re
build at once, and resume their business as
promptly as possible.
