From this city a party of seventy-five, com- Posed of some of our well known citizens, sniled about midnight on Saturday in the Coll- T, and on Sunday morning breakfasted at ardtown, — at Piney Point Sunday afternoon, and at Kinsale Sunday night. Mon- dey morning the steamer was at Point Look- out, and on the appearance of the Metamora from Baltimore, followed her. The utmost good feeling prevailed among the rs, on the Collyer, but, as will be seen below. the crowd from Baltimore was of a different char- acter. The Raltimore Beat. in Baltimore, on Sunday, all was excite- ment with the fancy, and the houses of Daniel Daniels and John Charles and John English were the points of rendezvous, It was soon understood that a “moonlight excursion” Would take piace, and that the steamer Meta. mora was engaged for the occasion. By eleven o'clock both principals had arrived at the wharf, foot of Barre street, and soon zot places on the steamer, taking berths on the hurricane deck in the rear of the pilot house. The price of the tickets to the “moonlight excursion” was fixed at $5, rather too stiff a sum for many, and some not so fortunate as to ful, and anxious to witmess the mill, 0B & vessel lond of lumber near b; tempted to swing off to the steamer, only a tew succeeded. Just as the bells of Baltimore were ringing the hour of midnight the orders were given to cast » and amid burried cries of “jump, don’t be fooling,” &c., the gal lant steamer, with a load of from three to four bendred started. For a tame all seemed in good humor, although it was remarked that the crowd was largely composed of the genus Se ogee The refreshment tables of Mr. ‘Dglish 1m the saloon, and the bar om the for- atronized. ward deck, were soon ‘being well Some were engaged in singing, diseu: iti as knives.

Patsy Mullen, captain of aciub in Canton, W4s sitting outside the cabin, when Joe Beard, Snother well-known character, came out with # cork jacket fixed over his shoulders, remark- ing, “I understand that you intend to throw me overboard,” and Mullen made a reply. After some other words, blows » aud several shots were fired, Mullen receiving a shot under one of bis shouider biades, which passed through and lodged under the collar bone on his ite side, and also a cut on the neck and inthe back. Beard receiveda wound m the head from either a pistol ball or knife, and quite a seyere wound in the breast, pen- etrating the lungs, and a third in the hand, and Billy Carroll received bali through the hand. This occurred in the small space around the salpon.

While the shooting ‘Was in progress the women (several being present attending the retreshment tables) screamed “murder,” adding greatly to the ex- citement. It was soon rumored that Mallens was dying, and his frienas were busy in at- tending to his wants.

It was daylight before the Metamora was off Point Lookout and the crowd failiag to keep the ship in trim, rendered it exceedingly diffi- cult for Captain Reeves and his pilots toroand oint. About this time liyer and Ed- ‘wards showed themselves on deck, at the wash basin, and as might be expected were the prin- cipal objects of attraction. A considerable of & rain storm prevailed for some time, forcing those on the hurricane deck below, during whieh Edwards took a seat in the pilot house, when he with others bad a view of a water spout. Ina little time the sun broke through the Glouds and soon every one was made giad, tor the sky became perfectly clear. The Coll- yer was described at the wharf at Point Look- ont, and near the mouth of the Cone (about 15 miles distant) could be seen the tug boat Fred- erick Kopp, with Johnny Lazarus and a na! ber of FBiladelphians on board, as schooner, which had left Baltimore with a arty on Sunday. ‘The Fairy, engaged by Terry Rysn and Johnny Clark, which leit Alexandria on Sanday afternoon with a party, ‘was pot to be seen, however, but, was met by the Collyer some two or three mWes this side of the Cone after the conclusion of the fight.

At 10:20 the ring was completed, and in about five minutes Barney Aaron and Dooney Harris entered the ring, Edwards shying his castor into the centre and following it, and a chair beimg placed in the northeast corner he took a seat thereon. His colors, white with purple, were produced, and immediately after Collyer, accompanied by Johnny Newell and Paisey Mealy, entered and took & position in one of the corners. Both parties were heartily cheered as they entered the ring, but from cheers it appesred that fully three-fourths of the crowa Were Sam's friends. Up to this time tmere had been but little betting and neurly all were in small sums, the odds being on Collyer, his friends seeming to be confident. and Billy's friends hardly inclined to bet at all. ‘was some few bets made and one of Billy’s friends put up a sum which $1,400. ‘The toss was made for choice of corners and was won by Collyer, who placed bis back m the southeast corner, to the sun, and Edwards took the northwest corner.
