Spencer ~and itis probable that the grand scheme of policy tosettle, on just principles, all the conflicting inter- ests of the country, will occupy their attention up to the next session of Congress. The currency— the tariff—the public lands—the distribution—will be ully settled as the bankrupt interests and ilties with England have been. The effect of these views, purposes and move- nents, will be to produce new combinations—bring f urd new men—and to demolish all the worm hacks and factions of the present day. The residency of John Tyler will be the most prosper- ous that the country has ever yet seen. Mr. Webster’s speech will be issued from this of- fice in an extra as soon as received from Boston by of parties, and the naticnal prejudices which have for solong a time disturbed iad revolutionized the colony. What thejresult of this new movement, so utterly unexpected, will be, remains to be seen, and we must trust that the glowing picture drawn by those who favor it, will be realized and carried into fect. The French Canadians cannot now complain of the want of representation, several other nomina- tions havmg been projected in their favor Mr. Girouard to be Commissioner of Crown Lands, in liew of Mr. Davidson, dismissed after twenty Mr. Parent, to be Clerk of the Exe- and the Solicitor General’s office for Canada east, now vacant, to be filled by one in their interest. The ultra Tory press is, of course, teeming with strictures on the measure, condemn- ing it as a sacritice of all priuciple, calculated to de- stroy British supremacy in the Province, and alien- ate the feelings of all loyal subjects. It is_nseless, however, to indulge in idle speculations on the sub- ject,each has his own opinion, and until tested, none can decide what the future working of this singularly composed cabinet will be. If at any time, they should wander from the path dictated to them by the majority, they can be brought to their senses by that expression of “ want of confidence,” which has terrified the late ministry into an arrange- ment; this will,no doubt, have the effect of re- straining them in all their measures, and serve as a warning for future legislators in the Province.

From these returns it will be seen that, in a state of great excitement, in all the States indicated above, there is a large majority of Whigs over De- mocrats. These eleven States present a specimen of the whole republic. In 1840, the excitement was great—all the Whigs came out—and there was a majority of nearly 35,000. 1n 1841, the excitement is less—little inte- rest is felt—both parties take a less vote—but the greatest diminution is exhibited by the Whigs. There are very few changes of opinion—of whigs turning democrats, or democrats turning whigs. In 1842, the present year, the apathy among the whigs is greater, while the excitement among the demo- crats is increased a little by various causes. Com- pared with 1840, the democrats have diminished about 34,000 votes in these eleven States, while the whigs have diminished 95,000 in the same States.— ‘This causes the democrats to have a small majority at the polls, of 8,000 or 10,000, while the real major- ity, who stay away, is equal to 35,000 on the other side. From these facts it is perfectly conclusive to our minds, that the whigs have a positive majority of the votes throughout the cowntry, but that it isseldom or never that they can bring them out to vote. If they could get up an excitement in this State, they might elect Mr. Bradish and a majority of the next legisla- ture, but the conduct and policy of the Wall street cliques who hove influenced the whig policy, will probably pr he great body of whig voters from com I Viques attribute this apathy to w {Mr. ‘Tyler, but the unpopularity of , of Watson Webb, of Charles King, nd of all th veral cabals, who want to increase the State debi, are more potent causes than any- thing that Captaia Tyler has done.

The first fight that excited much interest among “ fancy” men, came off some twenty-five years ago between Tom Beasly and Jake Heyer, in which the latter left the field with a broken arm. About “these days,” as the almanacs say, the porter houses fre frequented by old Moceasin Jackson and George Kensett were the head-quarters of the fancy, and sparring exhibitions were given which created an interest in such scenes that soon produced prepa- rations for a regular prize fight. The first that came off of special interest, took place in 1821, and was between James Sanford, one of the seconds of MeCoy in the recent prize fight, and Ned Hammond, the former of whom is an American, and the latter an Englisman. The fight was pitched near Belville, N. J., but was broken up by the interference of the Sheriff. ‘The second was in 1824, between Sanford and Bill Hatfield, and took place at what was then called “Brandy Muley,” or Stuyvesant’s Point, now the Dry Dock, which at that time was as spare of dwel- lings as Red Hook is now. Sanford was the victor in this combat. In 1826, Ned Hammond, who had previously fought Sanford, fought with George Kensett, near the Union race course, Long Island, and Hammond was declared winner, although it was disputed after- wards. They first went to Coney Island, where the ring was pitched, but to the eternal credit of the Governor of that territory, he drove them off, with the Sheriff and light horse, fully armed and eqipped, and they then pitched near the race course as above named, ‘ In 1828, Ned Hammond, who during this time was considered one of the best men about town, agaia fought Kensett, up the North River, on the Jersey side, nearly opposite the recent fight, and Hammond was again declared victor, Kensett hay- ing fallen without receiving a blow at the time, which was contrary to the rules. About this time there was also a fight between’Fuller and Madden on Long Island, but we do not know who was de- clared winner. In 1832 there was a perfect rage for such scenes, and on the Ist of March Andy McLane od Philadelphia, and James Sandford, fought near the Bell Tavern in the vicinity of that city, and Mc- Lane was declared victor, Sandford having lost the use of his right hand daring the latter part of the fight. It lasted one hour and twenty minutes, and they fought fifty-four rounds. Sandford was not satisfied with this result and he came to this city and made an arrangement with Bill Harrington,who was then a butcher,to train himself to fight McLane, which he did afterwards at Baltimore. The excitement continued about this time and on the 27th of February, 1832, Pat O’Donnell and O'Hagan fought near Newark, N. J., but the battle terminated in a general row, in which principals, seconds, and spectators, all joined. In June, of the same year, the anxiously expect- ed combat between Bill Harrington, the butcher, of this city, and Andy McLane, of Philadelphia, who had previously beat Sanford, came off near Balti- y elect Henry Clay as they did »n—but there isno great chance for oming election.

The next that followed was in 1338, for “love, honor and glory,” between John McClain, the dro- ver, one of the recent seconds of Bell and Sullivan. They fought at Hoboken, N. J., and Harrington won the fight, ‘the honor and the glory.” In 1834, James Reed and And: Mctane fought near Ejizabethtown, N.J., and the Sheriff of the county caine forward and endeavored to stop the fight by reading the riot act, &c , but wasunsuc- cessful. This ts the fight whence the false story ori- ginated that he said, after reading the document, ** Now, gentlemen, I’ve done my duty, and as you don’t feel disposed to go, ' shall stay and see it out.” Reed won this fight, MeLane throwing it off. This nearly finished McLane as a faney men of bottom, although we believe he afterwards whipped a man ned. Jim Roberts, (835, or about that time, Jem Bevans and Tom fought at Williamsburgh, the former winning the battle ; and we believe about the same titne Abe Vanderzee and Jem Feelin fought some- where in Rhode Island, the former being the vic- tor. In the same year, Jem Reed aad Tom Barrett, alias Long Tom, of Philadelphia, fought at Hart's Island, but after some hard work, the ring was broken in, and a row ensued, which terminated the fight. There was but little diflerence between them at the close of the fight. From 1835 to ’37 the movements of the ring were rather dormant, but the arrival of Deaf Burke, from England, gave them new life and interest. , A fight was pitched between Burke and O'Connell, at Hart’s Island, (the same Island where Bell ahd Sulli- van fought) on the 2st of August, 1838, which was won by Burke in nine rounds only. On the 25th of September, of the same year, Abe Vanderzee and Frank ight fought at Fort Wash- ington Point, up the North River, and Abe won the fight in14 rounds. Reed and Owens also fone upthe North River, and the latter whipped his man. Somewhere about this time there were several fights at the west and south, and among others was that between Deaf Burke and O’Rourke, near New Orleans.

From 1887 to 184},but little was done in prize fight- ing; but on the arrival of Jem Sullivan and Caunt in this country,new vigor was given to “the joe On the 7th of September, Tom Heyer and Country M’Cleester, having had some ie jous difficulty, agreed to settle it by a Ting fi! it, and the stakes were pitched up the North River near Caldwell’s Landing, on one of the hottest days of the season. They fought two hours and fifty-four minutes, and 101 rounds. The battle was given to Heyer after a hard contest, although it is generally considered that it should have been a draw fight. M’Cleester was the most punished, but was game to the last. The next battle that excited special interest was between Jem Sullivan end Tom Secor, for sn. which came off on the binge of Staten Island, near the Telegraph, on the January last. The fight lasted 1 hour and 3 minutes, and they fought 67 rounds, Sullivan being the victor, with but little in- jury, while Secor was cut and carved up about the face like a tatooed African.

Washington Hall was used for that purpose— and scarcely a week passed that there was not a grand set-too at some pyblic house about town, at which hundreds were in attendance, giving their -countenance and support, who now turn up their eyes with holly horror at the very mention of a prize it. On the 15th of July last, Christopher Lilly fought Tom Murphy 4 at Kingsbridge, in this county, and whipped hin with ease, in 17 minutes, and inten rounda. ‘ ‘A full head of steam was now urging on “the spert,” and a house called “ The Arena” was open- ed in Park Rew, for the avowed purpose of exhibi- tions in ugiltem, &e., and the Bowery Theatre again presented almost nightly “‘ the scene of a prize fight,” as a part of the entertainment for their intel- lectual audience. ; Previous to the day fixed for the fight between Sullivan and Bel!, of Brooklyn, a champion’s belt manufactured partly of silver was subscribed for and placed in the Krenn for exhibition, and was to be presented to the victor in the then coming fight. Sullivan and Beil fought at Hart’s Island, Westel ter county,on the 2%h of August last,and the former won the battle in 32 ininutes, fighting but 23 rounds, and coming off the fieid without much injury, while Bell was eflectnally used up. It was one of the hot- test days of the season, and not less than 10,000 peo- ple were on the ground, not half of whom saw the fight. Bell, we understand, is of Quaker parentage, and the forfeit was offered him after he had made the match if he would abandon it, but he tefused. Previous to the time this fight came off, the match had been made between Me' and Lilly, the origin of which, was a quarrel backed up byt ose who wished to make money on the fight. The re- sult of this exciting fight, is too well known for repe- tition ; suffice is it to say, that they fought two hours and forty-one migutes, and the contest terminated at the 120th ronnd, and with the death of McCoy in the ring.

Arrest of two of the Accessories to thelate fatal Prize Fight—Firemen’s Fight—Opening of the Walnut Street Theatre—Return of Mutincers—Suicide in Prison, §c. Yesterday Lewis W. Halsey, who was time keep- er in the late fight between Lilly and McCoy, and George Kensett, who was trainer of McCoy, were arrested at the instance of A. M.C. Smith of your city, and by Aldermen Cook, acting for the Mayor, afier examination committed as fugitives from jus- tice. But little was elicited oa the examination— from Kensett, nothing. Halsey admitted the fact al- ledged of keeping time during the fight, but sought to justify it on the allegation that he did not approve of the fight, but being the only person on the ground having the proper kind of watch, and it being de- | manded of him, he chose to hold it himself in prefer- ence to trusting to any of the unknown faces around him, whom he had cause to distrust, and yet was afraid to refuse. His excuse, if corroborated by facts, may avail him ; but few here believe, that he did not aid, abet and encourage the proceeding, as much as any volunteer time keeperin such company would do. At the fire yesterday afternoon near Chesnut and Waterstreets,there was another brutal and disgrace fulcollision between the firemen. Several persons were most severely beaten and bruised with horns, | spanners, clubs, and stones.

Epiton— Gig SIR—You some time since granted us the favor of inserting a communication relating to the new publi tion entitled “‘ Medical Suggestions to Parents,” in conse- quenceof which we have been daily inquired of by per- sons ata distance, in relation to the intention and charac- ter of the work ; and as it is admitted by intelligent re- viewers, both in and out of the medical profession, to be a work of the greatest public utility, we take the liberty g you to givethisa place in your paper. ‘The author’s intention in pablishing his investigations, appears to have been with the view of calling the atten: ten of individuals to the first symptoms of those different chronic maladies, such os fits, insanity, palsy, consump- tion, curvature of the spine, general nervous Co laia Kc. &c., diseases which he has made appear evident could easily be arrested and removed if ‘heir character was sus- pected when their first symptoms take place. When, on the other hand, if they are permitted to exist without mo- lestation, as qeieriily the case, until their symptoms indicate that the disease has taken a firm hold upon the constitution, they become difficult to cure. In our former communication we stated that a large number of persons had been enabled to restore themselves using remedies recommended in the work for the va- rious chronic diseases. We could now state a much larger number, if we were not afraid of intruding. For the pur- se of conveying an idea of the popularity of the work in this country, we will state that its author has been sent for several times to Philadelphia, and has at this time seve- ral different cases under his personal treatment in this eounty. : For the purpose of conveying an idea of the character of the work to those who may feel disposed to euquire, we will state the opinions of some of the reviewers, The Courier ond Enquirer of the city of New York, says in his review of the work—" We have not been much dispos- ed ourselves to view with any great favor the attempts that have been made from time to time to make every man his own physician, every man his own lawyer, &. ke but it strikes us that this volume may be consuited wi safety, and that it may be found eminently useful in fami- lies under a great vi of circumstances ” ‘The editor of the Journal of Commere: observes—: This work contains excellent on ali diseases to which the human body ding diseases of femalesand children.

LORD ASHBURTON, MR. WEBSTER AND T TREATY.—This treaty having settled most ofthe difficulty ought to have contained a clause regulating du- ties of the two nations. If such a clause had been introdu- ced'there can be no doubt but that Pease’s Compoend Ex- tract of Hoarhound Candy would have been introduced as regulativg ali divisions upon the subject of health,in rela- tion to coughs, colds, asthma and rheuinatism, the origina- tors of consumption, Justice would have demanded it, and no doubt if the treaty had been a medical one Pease & Son’s Extract of Hoarhound would have been placed in the first article.

Such an expression from one of the most eminent Physicians in the city, we think is enough to convince the most +key calof the peculiarefficacy of Pease’s Hoarhound Candy: ir. Booth announces his name for a benefit at this house to sight, on which occasion he eppears in three of his very best characters, viz: Bertram, in the trogedy of that name; Pescara, in tho Apostate, and Jerry Sneok,in the Mayor ofGarrat?. We have never seen Mr. Booth perform better then he has done during his present engagement, and we trust his claims, will, to-night, meet their just reward.
