The proposition was sid on the ‘THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON CITY TWEEN HEENAN AND KING. —_—_ bane Benicia Boy Defeated in Rounds. o - Time 35 Minutes! 2 paseo Sarena King Draws First Blood. nen eee From the number of inquiries made lately at the S‘or office by anxious parties, as to the arrival of foreign steamers, and + anything about the King and Heenan fight!” we take it that a considerable number of people in this city are interested pecuniarily or otherwise in the result of the great prize fight in England. The prize was the round sum of £2,000, and the betting was very heavy, running at the rate of six to four for Heenan, up to the very nour of the fight. Tom Sayers wes a heavy better on Heenan; and King was backed up by Mace. . Heenan weighs as nearly as possible tourteen stone, and stands six feet one and a half inches- His width round the chest is forty-six inches- His opponent, King, is lighter by 11 pounds, and his width of chest is but forty-two inches, but he stands nearly an inch taller than Heen- an; hehas also the advantage of being two or three years the junior ot the Benicia Boy. By the following dispatches by the Inde- pendent Line, through the courtesy of its agent, Mr. Talcott, it will be seen that Heenan ‘was defeated in the fight which came olf on t he doth, It is believed that Heenan’s hauds gave out, much apprehension had been felt on that core by his friends. When Heenan fought Sayers at Farnborough his hands became so soft after the firat hour that his blo were of comparatively lite etfecton the hardened but elastic frame of Sayers. To prevent a recurrence of so untoward acircum- stance, Heenan has been practicing tor many hours erch day at asack filled with oats sus- yended im the air by & rope, and it was hoped hud brought his hands to a proper consistency. ‘There was someibing in bis rather haggard look that did not indicate perfect condition, hough his muscles seemed all that could be cecired. {Telegram by Independent Line.} Periitanp, Dec. 3.—The following report ot prize fight, by steamer Jura, arrived at 2 sock this morming. The news she brings precents few features of interest. The prize fight between Heenan and King, con the loth, resulted in the defeat of Heenan in 4 rounds: time, minutes. King drew first blood. Betting on previous day was six to tour om Heenan; the backers of King taking seven to four freely. DEATH OF GENERAL CORCORAN.

M. THE IRGONSIDES CANARD, In answer to an inquiry from the Navy Department, Major General Butler has tele- graphed here that nothing is known at Fortress Monroe of the alleged publication in a Rich- mond paper of injury and danger to the Iron. sides and one or two other iron-clads in Charleston harbor, which said story was made the basis of heavy speculations in Wall sireet yesterday. The story. was doubtless mann- factured only to that end. PRISONERS OF WAR. The following prisoners of war were before | Capt. Todd to.day, and by his order committed to the Old Capitol :—S.

Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to establish a | uniform em of ambulances in the army of the United States. Referred to Military Com- Miitee, and ordered to be printed. Mr. Trumbull called up his resolution, suv- Mitted yesterduy, asking information of the Secretary of War relative to all Major and Brigadier Geuerals, with their staffs, allow- ances and pay, who have commands less than abrigade, and whether such are necessary in command of departments, districts and forts, and it was adopted.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS, (Eee HEENAN’S SHOULDER BROKEN. ee TACTICS OF BOTH PARTIES. = PORTLAND, Mz., Dec. 23.—The steamship Jura, from Liverpool, with advices down io the 10th instant, arrived this morning. She brings an account of the great international - fight between Heenan and King. whieh took place on the morning of the 10th, at Tan- bridge. King won in 25 rounds, the fight having lasted 31 minutes. The London Times says there was but little science displayed on either side. Heenaa’s game throughout seemed to be to close and put the hug on, so as to crush his axtagonist at once, by dashing him violently te the ground. King’s tactics were differentjand more cre- ditable. It fe rumored that Heenan’s shoulder is broken. [eEconD DISPATCH.} Dec. 10.—As has already been stated, the fight took place this morning, near Turnbridge. No details have yet been received, but it was ramored that Heenan’s shoulder was broken. {THIRD DISFATOH.) ih The choice of ground was won by Heenan, and at exactly ten o'clock on the morning of the 10th the men came to the acratch. Round 1.—Heenan closed ip, grasping King by the neck and giving him an old-fashioned bug, antil the referee entered the ring and strictly cautioned him not to repeat the opera tion, . reported a bill to consolidate the two | ‘ing forced the fighting as soon as he came to the scratch. Heenan closed in again, and after hugging King for some time threw him. In this round Kiag dtew first blood, which was ailowed, ~- Round 3.—After hard exchanges Heenan again bfigged King, and threw him on the | ropes with awful violence. All now going dead against King. The only thing he had in his favor was the first blood. Round 4—King came up with a visible mouse under his leit eye. Heenan again at- tempted the hugging game, which elicited loud remarks of disapprobation. With this excep- tion, nothing particular occurred. Round 5.—Both men came up smiling. King got in a tremendous blow on Heenan’s ear, and another on his temple. Heenan, in despair, hugged King and threw him violently. Round 6.—Both men sledged away; roand finishing by Heenan giving King another hug. Round 7.—After a hammering, Heenan again hugg@i and crose-buttocked King fearfully. During this round, King gave Heenan a rat- tler on the nose, drawing streams ot blood. Round 8.—Rapid countering on both sides, got thrown himeelf. € Round 9.—King struck Heenan a tremendons blow upon the head. Heenan closed in upon him, and threw hm. Round 10.—King landed out heavily with | both fists closed in and was thrown by Heenan. | Round 11.—Heenan began to tire, aiid at the | close he rushed in and threw King heavily. | Round 12.—Samefesult. fs Round 13.—Vitto.* | Round 14.—Ditto. Russia, in regard to the European Congress, in a published reply, expresses the ardent de- sire for the pacification of Europe by an uan- derstanding between the sovereigns; but says it is indispensible that the Emperor of the French should define the questions upon which an understanding could be arrived at, and the basis upon which an understanding should be established. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE GREAYF PRIZE FIGHT. Owing to the drawn battle between Heenan and Sayers, and the circumstance that per- haps no other pugilist in the kingdom but Heenan could have stood up in the ring for two hours before the accomplished Tom, the betting was greatly in fayor of Heenan tn the | fight between him and King. Two weeks before the fight it was seven to four, against King, | but within the last two days of the fight the | betting improved a point as regards the latter, and seven to five were taken as the odds. Out- side the immeaiate circle of the prize ring the prevailing sentiment was also in favor ¢t | Heenan, and bis non-professional admirers laid down Iarge sums on him. ‘On the other hand, King had # numerous party sanguine of his success, bot only on account of his endurinz powers, but also on account of his superior | length of arm and the tremendous force with which he concentrates his blows, and which ihey believe would (as in the case with Mace) | knock his opponent out of time. With regard to science, they were fairly matched; although, judging from the battle at Farnborough, it wis inferred that here, too, Heenan would hay. adyantage, The London Sporting Life, of the 5th, says The American is still at bis old quarters, in company with Jack McDonald and his brothers James and Timothy. He is in mazniticent con- dition, and those who have been favored with a sight of the gladiator arrive at the conclusion that a finer specimen of muscular Christianity never stepped into a ring or held up a hand. ‘The muscles of his chest, back, loins and abdo- men stand ont in that bold relief which the ancients were so proud of seeing shown in the statnes of their favorite gladiaters. The muscies of the arm are per.ect hillocks of tendons and sinews interlaced, and, eltogether, he may be summed up in McDonald’s pithy exclamation of ‘Jack fit, eh?” which we can indorse in the affirmative. Tom King, when we saw him at his training quarterscn Thursday, was all that the heart | of a backer could desire. He has thickened | very much since his fight for the Champion- ship with Mace last year, and has become much | Hoore muscular and set about the loins. He | has not an ounce of unnecessary flesh upon | hits, but he will weigh as near 1+2 pounds as | Possible on theday. He has performed twenty { miles a day pedestrian exercise, besides the free use of the dumb-bells and practice at the sack, The work that Master Tom has accom. | plished must have been properly carried out, | and not shirked, trom the fact that he walked 2i2 pounds when he started on his training. He is, moreover, particularly careful for a boxer, and as he does not carry much flesh at any time, Tom has done justice to himseif and ; backers. He is buoyant in his spirits, and very confident of sucvess, and told us with | greatearnestness that he woald vive all his money and ten years of his life sooner than be | defeated by Heenan. The American, who is equally confident, and looks winning to a certainty, says he wiil tit Jeir Mace, win or lose, for £5002 cide. Heenan has had a perfect gymnasiuin erected at Nev;- | market, and daily performs on the trapaz, and employs the dumb-bells, eic., with unilaggine vigor. We visited Heenan yesterday (Friday) at his retrentin the country (which tor prudential reasons we refraim te publish.) and found him | out at exercise with Juck Macdonald, who rides a pony, to save his “poor feet,” or he would have had a harrassing time of it lately, | as his charge bas been going # power of work | for the last three weeks. djoining the f: } honse where the Benicia Boy is located, ¢ | | he is a big barn, which serves as a gymni. similar to the one in which Heenan did his | indoor work at Salisbury, before his memora- | ble contest at Farnborongh. Here we found awaiting the American’s arriv:, hisfriend and j adviser, Owen Swift, and two cr three more | gentlemen weil known on the Turf, tozether | with Timothy and James, Heenan’s two very agreeable brothers. They had not long to wait before his flac | ath ¢ form was seen on the cr f about a couple of hurdred yards wus alone, having had a race ( on his pony, and left him behind, thouck the litter had pulled up to witness some coursinz. ving .one out to mect him, we walked back with him to his quarters d had « good op- portunity of observing his condition, which ap- | Pears to us divested of that rather haggard ap- pearance which we noticed two or three weeks back. He certainly looks as fine as a star, though he shows not the bloma which we are aceustomed to see on ihe cheeks of an English- man who is geuerally credited with be ng “fall ofkeslth.” Hiseye fairly eparkled as he turned to converse with ws, and his step with every movement was characterized by an infallible sign of good figtting condition. There wasa considerable amount of speculation am ng the gentlemen aticnding Lord Stamford’s sale of racing stock ou Thursday. We repeatedly saw 70 to 40 taken; and retased on Heenan, the ma- jority standing but 2 tol. The result ‘of the fight is, in turf ciretes, at Newmarket, regarded as a “moral” for the bold « Benicia Boy.” FUBRTBER FROM EUROPE. <p THE CONFEDERATE LOAN DOWN TO 37 tt ———— {By Independent Line of Telegraph.} The Confederate lown is quoted at 37233.
