NEW YORK HERALD: ptember 16, 1842. w York, Frid Demoralization of the Age=Public T Meeting. The demoralization of the age iseomplete. Sedom and Gomorrah are revived. High Heaven is daily outraged by murders, thefts, robberies, cheat- ing, swindling, defaleations, repudiation, and every species of crime, the greater portion of which goes unpunished. Our banks are demoralized—our courts are demoralized—society is demoralized—every ele- ment of society seems almost rotten, almost to the heart. Ought not something to be done? Should not a great public meeting be called in the Park? Is there neither religion, morals, courage, nor virtue extant, enough to take the first step? Shall we have to wait till the angel comes down from heaven? Where are all the clergy? Norick To AppLicants Fox Orrice.—The office beggars are so increasing about these days, and Ty- ler men are becoming so plenty, that something must be done to keep them at a distance. Many of these gentlemen suppose, because the Heratn is generally the first to announce correct intelligence of the movements at Washington, that we must possess great power in appointments to public office This is a very erroneous notion. We have no inter- course whatever with any person in high authority —no influence over public begzary—no power over the offals of the public crib. We attend to our own affairs—and let the government mind theirs. But we can tell who has. ‘The principal broker for getting offices under the general government, in this city, isthe venerable descendant of Judas Iscariot, who once carried the “bagand scrip” in the wilderness of Judah, and through the streets of Jerusalem, and made money by the operation. M. M. Noah, formerly Judge of Israel, is now the principal bagman and broker of the public offices. He has announced it himself in his newspaper—and he boasts all round the streets of New York that Captain Tyler never performs an act without first asking his advice—not even so much as buying a pair of old breeches. Noah says he isin daily and weekly correspondence with the President, and that no man can be appointed to of- fice whose name is not on his “ slate.” All office beggars will therefore please to take no- tice that the first step is to leave their names legi- bly written on the new “‘slate”—the tee for which varies from $10 to $50, according to the ideas or purse of the office beggar. This step being taken, every thing is smooth afterwards—particularly if lard is cheap. The old clo’ new brokers’ board at Military Hall manage every thing at fixed rates— ten percent discount for cash or short paper, weH endorsed. N. B.—No citizen of foreign birth need apply, unless he belongs to the race of Judas Isca- riot—then all’s right. Pustisnine Private anp ConrmpentiaL Lew TERS —The practice of publishing private letters, for any purpose, seems to increase with the increase of steam power. Thomas Ewing, the coal-heaver, or Ohio butcher, was dismissed by Captain Tyler from the Treasury Department—he revenged himself on the Captain by publishing the private conversations he had with the President. A large and powerful party, who claim to be gentlemen, sanctioned the practice and was eloquent in favor of the act. Wehave just befsre usanother example of the same kind. Jonathan Roberts is removed from the Collectorship of Phila- delphia, and straightway he publishes all his private correspondence with the President, and calls upon the country to approve the treachery. The same practice has also made its appearance in the literary world. Saowden is the publisher of the “ Ladies Companion,” and a fit companion he is for ladies. He quarrels with Park Benjamin about the price of a few dozen feet of poetry or prose—and to revenge himself, he gives all the pri- vate letters written by Park on his own business, to a poor miserable sneaking creature called Weld, who publishes them in a weekly paper he is tacked to. We would advise Snowden, who is par excel- lence a ladies’ man, to quarrel with some of the actresses in the Bowery Theatre, and also publish their letters to him, in a neat little brochure, similar in paper and print to his magazine. It will be a “Ladies Companion” complete. The demoralization of the age is so great, and rascals are so plenty, that we hardly ever write pri- vate letters to any person—and then when we do write any, we woul? just as readily have them pub- lished as not. Tue Prestoent’s Invitation To THE ASHBURTON Diyyer.—Another member of the notorious com- mittee has come out through the Expr with a statement that an invitation was sent by the com- mittee to the President to which he returned no answer. Very well; but in what way was he in vited? Why, a common printed circular was sent to him by the committee on purpose to insult him, and he very properly treated the matter with con- tempt. A printed circular sent by a committee to invite the Chief Magistrate to a public dinner, as though they were peddling shop keepers sending round to solicit custom! Every fresh turn the ball takes, it only shows their conduct te be more and more disgusting. Hypocrisy oy THE Wuia Parens.—Some of the whig papers are out, abusing the ‘ Herald” tor pub- lishing a report of the late fight ; whilst these same miserable hypocrites are re-publishing the same details in anether form. Why, the fact is, that the community would have stared with stupid wonder atthe result of that fight, had we not shown how the man was gradually beat todeath. Asit is, the fact of our publishing those details and the way it was done, will do more good and more to step these disgraceful exhibitions, than all that,these misera- ble hypocrites could effect if they were to publish till dooms day. Tue Parze Fiewt.—Excrrement.—INTEMPERANCE. —The city continues to be in a deep excitement on the subject of the prize fight. All the haunts of the fancy are filled with people. The porter houses— club-rooms, and other places of resort are in a state of great tribulation. The Arena, a porter house, where these fights are made up, has been shut up in fright. The fountain head of all this disgrace and demo- Talization, may be traced to the porter houses and gin shops. Those who keep such places are the Principal getters-up of these fights, in order to create custom and drinking. Intemperance and gain are at the bottom of the whole disgrace. Warerixa Praces—Tie Bure Licks, Kenrucky —We give to-day a spirited description of life and society at the fashionable springs in Kentucky. This letter is a racy picture—written with all the freahness of the far western untameable species of genius. During the coming winter we intend to give series of sketches of the state of society and manners at our different watering places, which will be novel and interesting. A gentleman of great litera- ry attainments who has attended them, has promised to prepare these articles. There is such a jumble of good manners, vulgarity, impudence, breeding, arro gance, folly, assumption and ease at our principal watering places, that an accurate description will be quite entertaining, philosophical and useful. Correction Requestep.—Thurlow Weed states that Bennett was in the late procession with Noa. This is not so. We never can associate with that personage, in politics, or personals. The “State barber” will please to correct his statement, and prepare to shave Luther Bradish for the November race. (> Noah talks with great contempt of persons of alien and foreign birth. This is very funny. Noah ie a Jew—ot the thirteenth tribe of Judas Is- cariot—a tribe who have been aliens and renegades throughout the world, Christian, Mahometan and Jagan, for eighteen centuries. He talk of aliens! Tue Tweepie-puM AND TWEEDLE-DEE In Mo- nars—Tue Ann Srreer Licentious Press, anp THE Wat Sreeer Licentious Press.—We have now i | this city two classes of thoroughly demoralized | newspapers. The Wall street licentious press, such as the * Courier & Enquirer,” &c., and the Ann-st. | licentious press, such as the ** Libertine,” &c. It has of late become the fashion to cry down and abuse the Ann street licentious newspapers, whilst the shocking licentiousness’of the Wall street news- papers is winked at and even encouraged. But this must not be allowed any longer. For both these classes are trightfully demoralizing; and equally brutal and bleody in their tendency. One patronizes murder by means of pistols, powder and bullets; the other patronizes murder by means of fisticuffs. One patronizes theft, plunder, and whole- sale robberies, through the agencies of banks, loan companies, and all species of incorporated bodies; the other patronizes the same species of plunder by means of faro banks, pool, roulette, hazard, betting, picking pockets, and every other species of robbery. The individuals who conduct these papers, are also similar in many respects. Webb, nearly all his life, has been a bully, and*braggart, trampling upon law, order, and decency, in order to gratify hisown base ions; he has been involved in many rows, yuarrels, and duels; was the cause of the death of poor Cilley, and but recently came near losing his own life. The others are generally bullies, though probably possessing more personal courage than Webb; they are the whole time stimulating fights and rows, fas Webb does,j until at last they have been the oceasion ef a man’s death ; poor McCoy —who with Cilley, owes his death to the licentious Ann and Wall street newspapers. The conductors of the Ann street licentious press, consider murder by means of pistols and bullets, highly dishonorable, and deserving the highest grade of punishnent; at the same time they do not object to murder by means of fists in what they term a fair fight,and they are exceedingly sensitive about all that concerns the code of honor a fisticuffo. Webb highly disapproves of murder by fists, and considers eat crime against the laws, as well as being 'y vulgar ; but ifa man goes out deliberately to fight, and kills another with a pistol and leaden bullet, he, must, according to the Wall street code duello, be considered a gentleman of the very first standing, entitled to move in the very first circles, have a right to get $52,000 if he can froma United States Bank or some other institution, cheat the Baltimere Trust Company out of $1000, and in short plunder as many banking and loan corporations as he possibly can. And the more men he has killed in this way, and the more money he has thus made, the stronger are his claimsto the character of a Wall street gentleman. . In dpe other particular these two classes of papers resemble each other. The licentious Wall street press encouraged all the swindling banks and rotten “institutions that have been (and are) cheating the public for ‘years and years. The Ann street press encourages more humble swindling shops, such as faro*banks, roulette banks, and so on; and there is very little doubt but that the Ann street banks have the most specie of the two, and their system is honorable compared with that of some of the shav- ing shops of Wallstreet. There is this difference, however ; the greatest financiers of the Ann street banks are in prison. The greatest financiers of the Wall street banks are out of prison. Now what is the position of these parties at pre- sent—rogues, rioters, and aiders and abettors of mur- ders in various forms? Why, we see the District Attorney trying and bringing the Ann street licen- tious press to the bar of justice and punishment, whilst the leaders of the Wall street licentious press are daily before a bar of a diflerent character; at the same time there are indictments enough hang- ing over their heads, and complaints and causes ot action, to send them to the penitentiary, if they had justice done to them. Why is thisnot done? Why are they not all put on the same footing? Why strain every nerve to send one class to the peniten tiary, and let the other riot and revel in its reckless defiance of decency and law. There must be an end to this, or all respect for the law and its officers will be lost by their own conduct. ‘War—Bioop—Boery.—In reference to our no- tice of Coney Island yesterday, as compared with Staten Island, we have received the following :— Coney Isanp, 16th Sept., 1842. To Genenat Jamxs Gorpox Bennett, L. L.D., Comman- DER-IN-CHtEF oF THE Navyvoo Forces, axp ARcupl- sHor oF THEIR FairH, Ke. Ke DerartMent ov Stare. Sin— This day I called the attention of his Excellency to a paragraph which appeared in the New York Herald, of which you are reputed to be the proprietor and editor,and of which there is no doubt, His Excellency has directed me to say, that the state- ment made is without a shadow of truth. Presuming it was a communication (not inteniontial), his Excellency has directed me to state the followin, First— That his government is a free, sovereign, and in- dependent one ; that it is not subject to any emperor, king, prince, or potentate ; the receipts of the government are full and ample for its wants, leaving a princely income to his Excellency ; instead ofacyiminution of one half, the yearly increase is very respectable, and in every depart. ment of the government, both financially and physically, it is in a most flourishing state ; and his Excellency sin- cerely regrets that you should have coupled him with Stuten Island, a edge A without government, permitted toexist by all the belligerents, by common consent; a country, { may say, without financial or physical means, not a redeeming feature to attract the attention of a great man. Comparing her soil, manners, customs, diversions, and honesty with Ceney Island, only goes to show the ut. ter ignorance of the writer of your paragraph. But his Excellency does not wish to insinuate that your paragraph was with malice aforethought, but hopes you will correct this gross error, as it may be read in distant countries, where his government is earnestly courted, and most firmly bas His Excellency desires me to assure to you his friendly wishes, &c. &c. Ke. &e. With high consideration, your Most devoted and obedient servant, CHARLES Q. MUSSELL, Secretary of State C. I. This is all well enough. But we understand that Staten Island 1s coming into the field ten thousand strong. At an election yesterday, we learn that the Honorable John Barney, of Baltimore, has been made Governor, and that he intends to “ carry the war into Africa” at once. Look out, The wool will fly soon. New York Wesrern Currency.—The notes of the Bank of Lyons, which has been shut up by the Bank Commissioners, were refused yesterday by the brokers. They talk hard also of some of the Ro chester and other western banks. The Canandai- gua banks are all good. Mr. Gibson of that place, is one of the most prudent and honorable bankers of Western New York. He has stood the test of all sorts of times. Look after paper money. Increass or TRADE IN Tar.—There are now en- gaged in the trade between this port and Wilming- ton, N.C., ten splendid fast sailing vessels. We lately visited one of them, the Josiah Smith, recent- la built under the superintendence of her comman- der, Captain Charles Mills, who is termed the com- modore of the fleet. The J. S. wasa few days since added to the line. She is one of the largest fore and aft schooners of the port, of about 200 tons burthen. Her accommodations are superb, and she can conveniently take twenty cabin passengers.— The building of this fine packet is an indication of the prosperity of trade between North Carolina and New York. Tne Srreers.—As if toshame the inspectors, B um of the Museum, and John Adams, of the Terra- pin,corner of Ann and Broadway,set a manto work yesterday and kept the crossing swept from noon till 10at mght. This is admirable; it was a great treat to cross there. For Heaven’s sake let the example be followed. There are many men out of work, and agood living may be made,by sweeping the crossings. Batt at New Bricwron To-Nient.—A splendid ball takes place at the Pavilion, New Brighton, to-night. ‘This isthe last’but one of the season— and will probably be the best and most joyous.— The equinoctial storm is disagreeable, and the sun is somewhat obscured—but the ladies eyes are as bright and brilliant as ever. ‘Tur Name.—James J. Barry is the name of the midshipman, who was found picking pockets at Howard’s Hotel. He has resigned Carrain TYLER AND 1 Democracy.—We per- ceive at all the democratic meetings that have taken place in this State, and at many in other places, that the democracy have passed resolutions generally ap- proving of the course and measures adopted by Mr. Tyler, and particularly laudatory of his financial policy. These are roots that are fastening them- selves on the democratic party, despite all the efforts of the old hacks to check them, and are increasing in strength every day; they mean Calhoun and Tyler, and poor Van Buren will be upset or over- grown, in spite of himself, if he does not take care in time ; and very probably, he will with all his care. Tue Bioopy Bowrry.—On reviewing the history of the public taste in relation to prize fighting in this country, we find that this depraved system of what iscalled ‘“‘amasement” originated with the manager ofthe Bowery theatre, who has been in the habit of introducing all these English prize fighters on his stage, to give what is called a “set-to,” thereby en- couraging and cultivating a wretched taste for these brutal exhibitions, and doing much to demoralize the age, encouraging the growth of porter houses, and inciting all young men to learn to box, bruise and beat each other to death. In this point of view, truly, it may be said that the bloody Bowery is the great school of iniquity and demoralization; and it would be an act of charity in the Corporation if they were to shut up this theatre at once. Mosr Discracerut.—We understand, from good authority, that there were several warrants in the hands of the police for the arrest of nearly all the principals ceneerned in the late fight--that these war- rants have been issued some weeks, for various out- rageous assaults. The culprits have been roaming in the most public places in the city, are notoriously well known,fand yet not one was arrested. Do we want a reform in our police system ? New York Srare Srocxs.—Capitalists are very anxiously enquiring as to the probable result of the next election in this State ; because, if the prospects of the whigs brighten, and they look likely to suc- ceed, all the capitalists intend to sell out their New York State stocks; as beyond # doubt they think they would all fall 10 or 20 perjcent, should the whigs carry the day. EXERTIONS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE Boarp oF Avpermen.—Galeb S. Woodhull, Alderman of the Second Ward,and his Assistant Nesbitt, have closed the Arena, the house where the recent prize fight- ing was much encouraged. Let the rest of the Al- dermen attend to their duty, as Aldermen Woodhull does, and the city willbe soon cleared of these man killers. Rosy faced, indefatigable Jack Hill, served the warrant. Mesmerism.—De Bonneville is mesmerising the city of Detroit, and throwing its denizens into a de- lightful state of forgetfulness. If he could, by any mesmeric process, tranfer $15 or $20 which he owes us, from Detroit to our pockets, we might be brought to believe in his philosophy. Next News rrom Enetaxp.—Look out for the next news, It will most probably be of a most dis- astrous and bloody character; riots, bloodshed, murder, and arson, and probably another attack on the Queen, and perhaps the death of the premier. Mux sy THE Erte Rartroap.—Fine fresh milk in large quantities is now brought down by the Erie railroad to this city from Goshen. Itis bought there attwocents a quart, the freight is half a cent, and ‘tis sold here at four cents, of first quality; and thus a large and profitable business is done in this ar- ticle. Tur Weatner.—We have strange weathér here lately, and so they have had all over the coustry. In Charlestorrthe thermometer within the last week has ranged from 93 to 98; so at Savannah and otlier sou- thern cities. In this city on Monday, the thermome- ter in the shade was at 97 nearly all day; and yes- terday it fell to 56 in a sheltered situation, and every one was shivering with cold. In the Astor House and Howard’s Hotel, they had large fires in the bar rooms, &c., around which the boarders sat and thronged as though it was the depth of winter. Important ANNOUNCEMENT TO Mercuants.—The letter bags of the steamship Columbia, for Halifax and Liverpool, will close at the post office and at Gilpin’s this afternoon at 44 o’clock. They will close at Harnden’s, No. 3 Wall street, fifteen minutes later. Nor so.—The “ Post” says that Mr. Wright, counsellor of New Jersey, trained McCoy, and es- corted him to the boat. This is untrue—he did no. thing of the kind. Crry Currency.—Don’t touch Jacksonville— Ulster—or any other shinplasters, that you don’t know has a solid foundation. ARRIVAL OF THE GaRRICK—-This noble packet ar- rived yesterday from Liverpool. She was just one month at sea. Oncr.—The street inspector and health wardens of the 13th ward, are requested to look at the corner of Broome and Tompkins street. Once. Execurion.—Low, the murderer of Winans, was hung: on Wednesday. He made no confession of his guilt. Navat.— We learn that Capt. Perry has declined the command of the squadron that is to be stationed on the coast of Africa, and that it will be tendered to Com. Isaac Cheever. Nerrune Hovst—New Rocuette.—This place has just opened its fall season by a reduction of board, down to $5 and $7 per week. It is kept in first rate style by Mr. Rice, and isa very pleasant place to spend afew days, in the autumn weather. {tg No explanation of “that toast” yet, from Commodore Perry or Colonel Bankhead. It must come. We don’t give up the ship. Rememper.—The election this fall will take place all over the State in one day. §g- Don't go back to New Orleans. The fever is raging there violently. Canter Cuanass.—Look out for some cabinet changes about these days. Musicat.— Nagel and Nourritt, are at Quebec. Canapa.—Nothing yet done by the legislature. Rerorm.—Who comes next ? Nimto’s.—A great and varied bill this evening. Gabriel appears in two of his most comic charac- ters, and who can forget Jerome in the conceited M. Duchalumeau. The Italian Brigands is one of the most pleasing pieces this talented family per- form—the tableaux are strikingly beautiful. We were sorry, last evening, to observe Antoine labored under severe indisposition. To-morrow night the Gardens close to prepare for the revival, on a grand scale, of the Green Monster, on Monday next. Cuatuam Turarre.—Three pieces are presented for this evening, intwo of which that unsurpassed pantomimist, Wood, appears. The melo drama of the Knights of the Cross, the tarce of Deaf as a Post, and the drama of the Greek Patriots, certai ly possess interest and variety sufficient to ensure a full house. Mr. and Mrs. Thorne, with Mr. Wood, are announced to take part in the first named dra- ma. A beautiful piece, anda powerful cast. Go, fg» Notwithstanding the late unpleasant weather the American Museum continues to be well attend- ed, and performances are kept up twice @ day. Win- chell, the Yankee drollerist is a host within h mselt, and Harrington, the ventriloquist and magic! is the best performer in his line in America. The beautiful Miss Hood is a charming singer, and Ce- lecte’s dancing always commands applause. The mysterious Gipsey Girl isatill here, and altogether a rich variety of entertainments are produced for 25 cents City Intelligence, Fouxrner Particuars or THe Prize Ficut.— The excitement on this subject still continues and “the fight, the fight’ appears to be in every body’s mouth. The thousands who were unable to obtain a full description of the scene at this bloody murder as published in the Herald, will find all the particu- lars, including those at the fight, in the weekly of Saturday. The dreadful result of this battle will put an end to prize fighting in thie country for years, and if it is followed by a law to inake all participa- tion in such scenes a felony, we may say, ‘twill end them forever in this State. The bedy of McCoy was interred yesterday at 2 o’clock, and as it was refused admittance into Ca- tholic ground, we understand was buried in Potter's Field. The scene at the house where McCoy’s body laid, during its examination by the physicians, was calculated to excite the sympathies of all present. The piteous expressions of one of his sisters, the moans of his poor mother, who appeared almost in- sane, and the weeping of the female relatives and friends, would have caused tears to start from the hardest heart that ever attended a prize fight. The rumor we have heard in circulation, that Wm. McCoy, the brother of the deceased, who was present at the post mortem examination, took the heart of his brother in his hand and said, ‘ there’s a heart fora man,” is not true. When his heart was taken up by one‘of the physicians, he remarked that it wasa fine, large, and healthy one, when Mc- Coy said, ‘Yes, it’s the heart of a true man,” which was a very natural expression for a brother to make under such circumstances, and accorded with the feelings of his mother, who in the adjoining room where the coffin was, remarked, on looking at it, “ that it was not half large enough to hold such ason.” In the vicinity of the house where his body lay, hundreds of persons were scattered yesterday in little squads of dozens, all listening with eager ears to the various rumors afloat relative tothe com- bat, and its painful results. There is no doubt, from the appearance of the body of McCoy, that he would not have survived the fight even if it had been stopped at the hun- dredth round, as the physicians decided on examina- tion, that he would have died from inflammation of the throat, caused by the severe blows he had re- ceived. On falling from his second’s knee, at the end of the 119th round, he was suffocated from the flow of blood from his nose, mouth, and neck ; and when taken into the centre of the ring, he breathed several long aspirations, and gasping, died. His pulse was perceptible for fifteen minutes afterwards, but he drew not a breath. Lilly was but little injured in the fight. He re- ceived one severe blow below the left nipple, and one on the bridge of his nose, which was slightly cut, and from which blood exuded at the time. His face in other respects was but little injured. The body blows, struck out with great force by McCoy, he avoided by jumping away, except in a few in- stances; and whenever Lilly would make a stand, it was rare that McCoy ever parried any of the blows aimed at his face andneck. At the conclu- sion of the fight Lilly was but little exhausted,con- sidering the length of time that it lasted; but had he received half the punishment given McCoy, he would have been beaten. The public authorities are all on the alert to en- deavor to arrest the parties concerned, but up to this moment not one has been taken. The Grand Jury have the subject before them, and the authorities of Westchester county intend to issue warrants for all whose names can be ascertained, who were present on the occasion. The following is the testimony of Mr. Camp, one of the reporters of the Herald, who attended the fight in his official capacity, and who was compell- ed to appear before the Coroner by process of law: Enocu E. Camr examined.—Resides in this ci was present at the fight near Hastings village. It commenced two minutes before one o’clock; knows the parties that fought, Thos. McCoy and Christo pher Lilly. The seconds for Lilly were John Mc- Clusky and Wm. Ford; don’t know who was the bottle holder; there appeared to be several; saw Sullivan acting as such amo. others. The se- conds on the other side were Henry Shanfroid and James Santord. The battle lasted two hours and forty-one minutes; 119 rounds were fought, and the 120th round was called, and McCoy, to use the tech- nical term, ‘did not come to the scratch.” He was lying at the north east corer of the ring, partly prostrate on the ground; don’t know whether he was then dead; heard immediately after that he had swooned. The whole mass of people rushed to- wards the centre ring, and the next cry I heard was, “*stand back and give him air.” Ithen rushed to- wards the ring and saw him Ving on the ground on his back, gasping torbreath. He drew three or four very long breaths, and then ceased to breathe, as farasI could see, from any outward appearance. The crowd then separated to give him air, and lask- ed if there was a physician on the ground, and was told that there was one near him. I saw the man, but don’t know him or his name. There was then an unsuccessful attempt made to resuscitate him by rubbing his hands, and he was then carried down tothe brink af the river, on the coats of several persons, which were placed under him. I then asked if the man was dead, and was told that he was. I then felt his pulse, which was still slightly perceptible. I told some persons who were around im that if they left him lying in that place and po- sition he would die. They then took him on board the Saratoga in a small boat. The first time I heard of a call to take him out of the ring, was at round 86, after they had fought three quarters of an hour. T then heard cries of “take him away, it is a shame to see him fight so.” The words were first used by the seconds of Lilly, and asJ at first thought, were uttered more as a taunt than with any desire to have the man taken out of the ring. At this time McCoy’s left eye was closed, his right eye closing, and his face dreadfully swollen. The same cries of “take him away” were used in round 89. heard no reply made to these cries up to this time. The cries were repeated at round 90 and 93, and there was still no reply. Just as round 93 commenced, some person outside the ring cried out “ Lilly, don’t give him any time, strike for his head.” At round 101 a conversation d between the two men who were fighting; Lilly said to McCoy, ‘I can start at the same rate, one after another, and whip Jim Sandford when Iam done.” There were now two rties formed of the bystanders; one for having fied taken out of the ring, and the other agains Texpostulated most earnestly to have him taken ou a ihe ring, and several other persons did the same; and cried out “take him away.” The se- conds paid no attention to it. At round 106, some one cried out “Cris, (Lilly) knock his eye out— hit him on the nose, that is the spot.” As the men came to the scratch, some one said to Lilly, “ you have got him now.” McCoy replied, “ notso sure,” and struck a tremendous blow at his opponent. At round 110, when McCoy came upto Lilly, he said “Teel like a book,” and as soon as he said it, his hands fell almost lifeless to his side, and Lilly rushed in on him, and they fell together. The fight then continued until the 16th round, in which McCoy threw Lilly by main strength, and fell on him, and while he was down, he patted Lilly on the head. At the 117th round, both of McCoy’s eyes were nearly clased, but by an effort he opened the left eye, and made a pass at Lilly who parried it, and they both fell. Criesof “ shame, shame, take him wey, were then uttered by a great many persons. At 118th round they clenched at the start, and Lilly struck hima few blows and threw him, and fell upon him with tremendous force. There were then cries of ‘‘send for the doctor— take him away.” Atthe 119th round MeCoy came up strong to the scratch, and took a good position, but both his eyes were nearly closed, and some one cried out ‘it isad—n shame,” and one of McCoy’s seconds (as I think) then said, “he is not half licked yet.” This seemed to give McCov new energy, and he rushed against Lilly and was thrown against the ropes and aly fell upon him. He was then taken up by one of his seconds and placed upon one of their knees, and his feet slipped from under him, apparently from weakness, and he fell over, and his head, as J think, struck the corner post, and nearly touched the ground before they caught him. Anat- tempt was then made to raise him, and he was found nati to stand. During several rounds before the last, he appeared to be suffocating with blood which was flowing profusely through his mouth. Heard bets offered during the fight, but did not see any money actually put up.

The man who I wastold was a ‘ig ‘ician, felt McCoy's pulse and said he was dead, but as | afterwards felt his pulse and felt it still beat, ae posed that the man called a doctor wasa mere botch, ashe neither bled the man, nor did any thing to re- lieve him, ; At the close of this witnesses examination, he said that he considered it due to himself, to state that he attended the fight, in his professional capa- city as a reporter, and that had the magistrate called on him to assist in preventing the fight, he would have most willingly assisted in doing so, ‘A Mint Broxen vv.—Forsome months past the storekeepers in the upper part of the city have been made to sutier considerably. by the quantities of re- markably well executed sp»rious American coin, or bogus, Which has generally been shoved by children or women in paymentfor stall quantities of groce- ries, &c. The police have been engaged for three or four weeks in efforts to ferret out the mint from which this coin was issued, and even Old Hays, who has for some time past left such business to be executed by his juniors, took hold of the matter.— Yesterday afternoon, the worthy high constable, Justice Matsell, Mr. Osborn, clerk of the police, and officers Frank Smith and Tappan, took a turn faroagh the suspected neighborhood, and after a search of some’ hours, succeeded in finding the mint in the upper part of the house 259 Stanton street, near the East river, and surprising the coin- ersattheir work. The metal was heating in the crucible, and the moulds, which were of plaster ris, all set up. On the entrance of the officers, owever, they succeeded in breaking up the moulds. A bag of counterfeit ten cent pieces, and a large amount of half dollars of the same description, were found in the apartment, together with the genuine coin from which the moulds were cast.— One of the fellows managed to escape while the offi- cers were searching for the implements, but the other two,whose names are Edward Kelly and Owen Mcelntee, were arrested and committed to_ the Tombs for examination on the charge by the U. S. Marshall. ig The successful termination of the expedition was owing in a great measure to Old Hays, who on this occasion showed all the tact, experience, and sound judgment that characterised him twenty years ago, and justly made him the ‘terror of all evil doers.” Drownep.—Pedar Neilson, mate of the Swedish, brig Krou Priends Oscar, now lying at the foot of Rector street, accidentally fell overboard while in a state of intoxication on Tuesday night and was drowned.

THE ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. —Walk up ladies and gentlemen and see the last grand new flourish ef the tonsorial art by the great sixpenny palace barber. ‘This native genius claims to be the standard of a new style of American fashion, and @ most notable representa- tive he is, having gleaned his education and practised his at professional attainments in the purlieus of Catherine ‘arket and Bowery. Foreign fashions—like the fox and grapes—he despises. They are not to be fathomed by his titmonse intellect, having only the capacity of dressing Dutch dolls or shaving poodle dogs. This standard oi sixpenny fashions should remain content, tolerated as he is by the community, though decked in borrowed plumes. He can never reach the height of his envied neighbor, nor pluck a festher from his pinion.

This article hasbeen prepared at great expense, accord. ing to thenew process of the Parisian pharmaceutiats, and isconfidently denominates the only really valuable prepa- vation of Sarsaparilla now offered for sale in this country. Together with the active principle of the Smilax offic’. valis—the best species of the root—the College have incor. porated that uliar modification of sugar, which has een termed glycyrrhizin. In the “Extracts” of the nos- trum-ven: certain ists, the common extract of liquorice is the chief ingredient, ana can readily be de- tected. But it is proper to state that in most cases this extract of liquorice is adulterated, and contains copper de- rived from the pans in which the decoction of the root is evaporated. The College wish thus particularity to guard the public against the pernicious tendency of mixtures, containing large quantities of this poisoned liquorice. The “Extract,” prepered by the College, contains also an propriate quantity of the peculiar crystallizable principle, obtained from that valuable roar le bitter, Gentian, (so galled from Gentiu ps fo ria, who first discovered its great virtues.) A small portion of the active constitu- ents of the Laurus Sassafras, another vegetable, whose efficacy as an alterativeand purifier of the blood is well known, has likewise been added. These several articles have been incorporated, and their peculiar principles compounded in a highly concentrated form, andthe re- sult has been the production of a vegetable alterative and tonic, unequalled for power and efficacy. The College orgs 4 add the following extract from the edition just published of Brande’s “ Practical Dictionary of the Materia Medica :”— * “ This article has been prescribed in chronic rheuma- tism—in obstinate cutaneous eruptions—in indolent ulcers—in glandular affections—in diseases of the bones, attended by dull aching pains, tumors and nodes—wasting of the flesh—and it has proreda valuable remedy, and has sometimes effected a cure where other alteratives have been long administered in vain, and when the diseased state of the system has heen of many years duration. In the after treatment of syphilis, and in cases where mercury has inju- riously uy'ected the system, it possesses powers not hitherto observed in any other article of the Materia Medica.” Sold in sivoce Borrues, at........., 75 cents each. “Ly Cass o HALe-a-Dozen Borties, $3 50. “one pozEN « 6 00, Cases forwarded to all parts ef the Union.

MONEY MARKET. Thursday, Sept. 15—6 P, M. The Stock Market was exceedingly dull to-day, and prices did not vary materially. Harlem rose}; Long Island fell }. In bills for the packet thero was a fair business done— many drawers asked 8 per cent. Public opinion, without a dissenting voice, except from afew interested parties, has promptly condemned the course pursued by Boorman, Johnston & Co. in evading their contract with Jacob Little &Co. Those gentlemen and their friends Cannot but be sensible of the false posi- tion in which they have placed themselves before the community. Daniel Lord, Esqr., who is known as one of the referees, has been forced in to the publication of a pamphlet which he calls a ‘‘rindication of his award.”— Messrs. Boorman, Johnston & Co. have also repeatedly published pamphlets stating their case. Messrs. Little & Co. have, up to this time, published nothing. Public opinion has been formed entirely upon the statement of Boorman, Johnston & Co, themselves. The “animus” of their course shone(clearly through the mystifications with which they sought to surround it, viz: to back out of an iunprofitable stock speculation by pleading a law quibble n justification. Severaljanonymous communications have appeared in their defence in the Courier and Enquirer, generally attributed to the junior partner in the firm, but be he who he may, heis apparently ashamed of appearing insuch a cause in his ownname, although he does not hesitate to impugn the motive for our remarks upon the subject. When, in these times of discredit, dishonor, de. falcation and repudiation, one of the leading mercantile houses of New York, undertakes, on any pretence what- ever, to repudiate or evade a contract, and that course is justified by a lawyer of fair standing, and also by the Pre- sident of a leading bank, the very bulwark of whose ex- istence are unshaken confidence and untarnished credit, the whole mercantile community becomes interested. Not only the credit of (he city and State, but their business and their mercantile reputation depend upon frowning down such a proceeding. ‘The time is rapidly approach- ing when commercial men will be driven into a public declaration of their views.on repudiation, whether pu blic or private. This is the season of the yearfwhen the weak banks of the interior generally give way. ‘The first for the present season is the Bank of Lyons, Safety Fund, which has been enjoined by the Vice Chancellor on the agplication of the Bank Commissioners. Of course, judging from the past, that application would not have been made unless the concern was entirely used up. The condition of the bank, at the date of its last return, was as follows :— K oF Lyons Jan. 1842. Liabilities.

Thiswill undoubtedly bring an additional charge upon the bank fund. ‘There having been recently some erroneous statements put forth in relation to the con- dition of that fund, the Comptroller” has officially cor- rected them in the following statement ‘Twenty four banks have commuted ; sixteen of them at two and the residue at three per cent. The total sum paid by these banks is $133,673.
