The fighting taverns, which had begun to feel the pressure of an extreme ex- citement, even as early as the previous Saturday night, were not only crammed inside with faces anxiously studying the dial of the pugilistic land- lord as if they would search him of all the secret information he possessed but vast crowds «warned stound the doors, and, in the uetghb. rhood of Nat Lengham’s and Owen Swift's, thev blocked up nearly the entire square. It had been arranged thet tickets for the morning train were to be ob- tained at both of the above named places, and that, accompanying the tickets. should be a Memorandum which would put the fertunate possessor so in communication with the agents, that he would know how to di steps in proper season. ator is, therefore, who did not meditate to ge, aad who could not raise half the money Necessary for such an expensive luxury, were lantly on hand at the indicated neighbor- and while not engaged in discuasing the Probable chances of the fight, were drinking in a sleep enjoyment by gazing stolidly at the speech- ri windows. In other and better quar- tlemen were laying out their clothes*and g their flasks for an early start, while in many a room where bright lighis blazed. and the champazne combed over the necks cf suddenly opened bottles. were gathered jovial groups whe bad concluded to run no risk by going a bed, but to sit the nicht out till the hour to move ar- rived. Meanwhile, the principals theinselves, entirely free from nervousness through perfection ef condition, and being certain, moreover, that no contest would come off till they were present, slept’ as soundly 2s two porkers. without fear of discount by the loss even of a single snore, until their seconds should shake them by the shoulder, notexactly «to rise and be hanged,” but to get up aad fight. At three o'clock a. m., when we issued with eur party from our hotel, we found cabs and “ Hansom’s”’ fiy'ng about through the black night in every direction, and on arriving at the station, thongh it was yet but half-past three, we found ourselves anticipated by at least 300 ople. For the most part they were gentlemen, and many a one, despite of his slouched hat and indifferent attire, could easily be distinguished by nis lofty bearing asa man ef mark here certainly was ever gathered for a prize fight such an audience before. Assoon as the doors of the railway car- Tiages were open, they stowed themselves rapidly away, and. 4s group on grouparrived,each rty, after a furtive gisnce around. as if sensille of the illicit nature of their enterprise, disappeared in a Similar manner. Indeed, the spectacle looked itke a mythical congregation of uneasy shadows, bent on some solemn exodus to depths unknown, and waved finally on its errand by a speechless and zloomy tigure on the platform, who, at forty minutes past four, dispatched three long trains from London bridge, which arrived in balf an hour at Redbill, on the Brighton line. There we stopped for four minutes, 2nd were well surveyed by a body of police, stationed about oue hundred yards from us,with 2 mounted patrol attheir head. The sun shoue brightly, and not a cloud was to be seen as we glided between the Surrey bills, past Dorking (famed for fowls), aud reached a village called Shalford where we again halted for two minutes. Then diverging on to another line of railway,we steamed along past the Camp at Aldershot, and were shortly after net down at Farnlrough, after a roundabout j ney of 1) miles from London. We had thus been travelling on four distinct branches of railway ‘we started for Brighton, diverged towards Dover, turned again to near Guildford, and finally ran past the confines of Ascot’s Royal Heath, and con- tinued down the Southampton line to the place of rendezvous A walk of 5 yards ona fifth line of railway which here meets that on which we had travelled, brought usto the field cf battle Jumping over two fences, the chosen spot was Teached—a green field wituin 60 vards of the line Here the veteran Tom Oliver, with his aids-de- camp, soon arranged the stakes and roper; tickets for the inner ring were distributed at ten shillings each, and the best company we ever saw at a prize fight seated themselves around the circie. ‘A large number of gentlemen, well-known in the sporting world. and who for years have with- drawn their patronage from the prize-ring, were on thig zreat occasion amongst the most anxious Spectators. One old sportsman we cannot forbear namlug, Mr Osboldeston, aged seventy-tive, a breeder of ract-borses for many years, once the owner of the best pack of fox-bounds in the World, a putron of* the prize-ring half a century ago, and in his youthful days a cricketer of celebrity, be came from bis retirement to witness the contest between the champions of the two hemispheres. The father and brother of Tom Sayers were also present among the crowd, which numbered at least twelve hundred. Order was soon called; ‘Sit down in front.” was the cry; and an inner circle of at least twelve deep obeyed In another minute the cap of Savers was thrown into the ring, amid the cheers of Lis friends This sume was soon followed by Heenan. whe was loudly applauded by all parties. “The Boy” was ready before the English cuampion, who pulled off no less than three suirts ‘bese little preliminaries having been gove through, the colors of the combatants were tied to the stake. ‘Phose of the Benicia Boy by bis seconds, James Cusack and Jack Macdonald, and those of Tom Sayers by Jemmy Welsh and Harry Brunton, who acted as his offi-iating ministers.

The greeting of the rival ilists was very hearty, and so cor- dially did they shake each other by the hand that the cheers of the crowd were repeated and con- tinued for some time. The odds of 2 to 1. which were freely laid on Sayers in London, decreased to 6 to 4 as soon as Heenan begun to strip.

We sbould judge from his a rances that he weighed as much as 13 stone 5 ibs (1S7,) though it {s not impossible we may either under or over-rate Lim. Whatever bis weight might have been, however, it was well disposed upon his figbting-points, and his condition did great pots to Cusack and Macdonald. who, bye the From Wiikes’ S: bye, when he first uncovered, betrayed 2 look of onscious pride. as if they had created him 5 pr epee tod spontaneous buzz of ad- miration went round the ring when bis skin first sparkled in the light, and not the least curious of e observers was Tom Sayers himself. ‘Well, he is a hearty fellow, sure enough!" said he in- voluntarily. and immediately resumed bts pre- jon. His skin was very clear, glossy, and. as we said before, sparkling in its whiteness, and the muscles bunched knotted in bis arms and about bis shoulders, as they are represented in the pictures of the old Reman gladiators.

Still going at him, and setting him close in his cor- ner, and almost against the ropes, he delivered a pondereus and sounding body bit fall in the cen- ler ofthe ribs. He had been after thi t for some time, and exhibited great satisfaction at having so handsomely got in, but before the smile which celebrated it had quite covered bis entire face, its sweetness of expression was completely spoiied by a terrific paixhan from the left bower upon the Champion's mouth, drawing the blood freely, and sending it trickling down his breast Sayers tried to counter, but did not quite get Lome; but he came after his revenye. and seeing he must have it, Heenan took Macdonald's ad- vice, “to try the double with him’’—which means to take hit for hit—and away flew the two sharp left hands at once, each nan staggering and recoiling from the shock. The men now separated fora moment, but the round did not close, and, after the passing of the ever-ready sponge over their bleeding fices, they showed an equal bull-dog nature by seeking each other agwin.
