Bal Ww Dicle, The cab contain: friends, THE Figur. Battimorg, Feb. 8—A. M ‘The fight took place yesterday about 5 P. M., at Rosch’s Point, Kent county, Maryland. Hyer won in filteen rounds. Sculivan 1s badly punished, but not dangerously. Time occupied, about sixteen minutes. Baxtimorg, Feb. 8, 1849. The fight took place lastevening at five o’clock, in Kent county, ten mileg below Pool’a Island. There were but sixteen rounds. They were fought in twenty-one minutes. Sullivan knocked Hyer down by a severe blow an the neck, which was the only knock down. Hyer drew the first blood, from Sullivan, and in the fifteenth round wrenched his nght arm. Both of Hyer’s eyes are bruised, aad Sullivan’s right eye 18 terribly hurt. Hyer, on the sixteenth round, caught Sullivan’s head under his arm, and punished him until he was eatisfied he was done tor, and dropped him 3 when he was forcibly taken from the ring by his frends—Hyer claiming the victory, as Sullivan did not come up again in time. It was terribly cold, and both suffered from it, ‘a8 well as from the race they had from the autho- rities during the day. Jt was one contimual fight, nearly, and Hyer drew the first blood from Sullivan. There were but a few spectators. There 1s some dispute between the judges and referees; but there seems to be no dispute as to the fact that Hyer was too much for Sullivan. The steamer with the military on board, is still ashore at Pool’s Island. Bartimors, Feb. 8, 1849. Sulhvan and Hyer fought, at four o’clock, yes- terday afternoon, at Roach’s Point, Eastern Shore, ten miles from Pool’s Island. They fought fifteen rounds in sixteen minutes. Sullivan had the advantage the first three rounds. At the third round he knocked Hyer clean down, by a blow on the temple. Hyer was considerably hurt by fibbing at the ropes. At the end of the fifteenth round, Sullivan’s friends withdrew him from th: rirg, his face hay- ing the appearance of a outcher’s block. The parties soon after left the ground. Hyer proceeded to Frenchtown, in his boat. Hyer 18 not much punished. Bartimonn, Feb. 8, 1849. The prize fight oceurred yesterday in Kent county, Maryland, ten miles below Pool’s Island Suilivan war whipped in sixteen rounds, the fight lastingtwenty minutes. Hyer was knocked down the first round; both eyes were blacked. On the L6th round, Sullivan's arm was injured, and onthe 16th round, Hyer caught Sallivan’s bead under his arm, holding it the eating him until Sulliven’s friends dragged him, whip- ped, from the ring.

Yankee Sullivan reached Baltimore this morn- ing, and was immediately taken, by his friends, to Mount Hope Hospitai; and his life is said to be in danger. He has a slight fracture of the skull, behind the left ear. One of his arms 18 broken, and his fe 1s cut awfully. The scalp from the forehead, with the eyelid, has falien on his cheek. Hyer was comparatively unhurt, and walked down to the boat, whilst Sullivan had to be car- ned. Tom O'Donnell and George Thompson were brought up by the police this morning, having been captured at Pool’s Island, and in default ot bail were committed to jail. Hyer roped Sullivan twice, and has punished him m eprune-every blow brought the blood. It 18 supposed here that Hyer will be arrested either in Philadelphia or New York, to await the requisition of the Governor of Maryland. The pie state of Sullivan’s life will probably lead to this. Battimore, Feb. 8—P. M. Sullivan left the hospital this morning with his frends, after having his wounds dressed, and took the York, Pennsylvania, cars at the outer depot. The Attorney General, Richardson, has. sent despatches to all the towns on the road for his ar- Test and imprisonment He is said to be seriously, but not dangerously wounded No tidings of his arrest yet.

The excitement which reged im the city on Wednes- dey, was increaced on Thursday; ond all down town was in a swarm, like co many bees, The mows boys, always ready to reflect the epirit of the times, might be teen in pairs, setting to at every corner, ond in other places where they are wont to congregate. The young. aters felt lively, for they dirposed of their papers faster than they could procure them from the press; and they filled up their odds and onds of time by showing, in mimio encounters with each other, how the thing was accomplished by Hyer and Sullivan. The greatest anxiety prevailed amongst those who bad made bets; and there were as many anxious faces to be seem awaiting the m from hour to hour, as may be seen ja Wall or South street, whenever by which news of a fluctuating cotto is expected. Thre was e vast anon: on the result of the fight, and all parties were to know how the matter really st bundreds end hundreds of men bout Yankee Sullir art d up to @ late ht Oo ‘© heard, apd burras for Sullivan were raired; but things im that neighborhood mest part, quiet.

Bovoments for California. There appears to be no diminution in the list of vessels up for California, though so many have al- ready sailed, all well filled with passengers. There are some up at present, of the very best descrip- tion: among them, the steam-propeller , Hartford, Capt. Lefeves ; the splendid ships Memnon, Capt. Gordon ; John G. Coster, Capt. Durfey ; Helena, Capt.Land, and some other inferior built ships.— The steamer Hartford is about three months old, built of seasoned white-oak, and 18 of a beautiful model. She is strongly braced throughout, with reversed arches of 4inch timber, crosa-waisted with 3§ inch braces, fastened through and through; she has also very heavy extra knees. Her main saleon it out 70 feet in length, light and au with long and wide berths; the after cabin 19 feet in length, and is very handsomely fitted up. She has every convenience of a hotel—water clo- sets, &c. Her promenade deck 18 about 150 feet in length, and she 19 weil worth a visit from those who intend to go to Calitornia by steam. The Memnon isso wellknown, that it 1s only necessary to say, she is up for California. All may remem- at she came near beating one of tne steam- ships on the voyage from this port to Liverpool.— The Helena has been in the Canton trade, aod is a remarkably fast sailer, she having made one of the shortest cae el between this port and Val- paraiso,on record. The John G. Coster 1s quite a new ship, having made but two or three voyages to New Orleans. Besides these, there is a host of other vessels, too numerous to mention.

It will be seen from our telegraphic report of the proceedings of Congress yesterday, that President Polk, in answer to a call of the House of Repre- sentatives, sent in a message to that body, ex- plaining the circumstances under which the proto- col annexed to the Mexican treaty was made, and giving his views of its effect. He insists that it does not change or modify any part ot the treaty—that it was not considered binding, and therefore was not sent 18 the Senate. We will probably publish the message in full to-morrow. ‘The Great Prize Fight—Its Morale and Im- mort The great prize fight is finished. Tom Hyer is victorious over Sullivan ; but according to the ac- counts which we have received, at a tremendous cost te the latter. It appears that short as was the duration of the conflict, Sullivan received so much injury as to endanger his life, .A full account of the particulars will be found in another co- lumn in this day’s issue. The excitement which this contest has created in the public mind 1s unprecedented in the annals of classical or he- roic brutality, with the exception of what was caused by come particular duels with pistuls, that occurred in former days, the breaking out of jhe war with England, or subsequently of that with Mexico. Throughout this vast community, no- thing has been heard or talked of for several days past, but the fight between Hyer and Sullivan, and the chances which each hed in the contest, which ce the day before yesterday. The only to the general prevalence of this excite- ment were the rigidly righteous, the pious, the saints, the puritans, or those who had no time to spare {rom their private rogueries or pious prayers, to public matters, This contest has presented a singular exhibition of human nature. Asa question of high and lofty morality, prize fighting car only be placed on the same level with duelling, either with swords oF pistols—single combats of any kind, be they with sticks or stones—or with war, either in detail, or by wholesale. Blood, wounds, damage to life and lumb, and death,are the usual consequences of such exhibitions, in the ring of pugilism, the field ot ho- nor, or on the field of general battle between the armies of opposing nations. All such exhibitions and contests are contrary to the law of God, to the gospel of Christ, to the principles of humanity, as well as to the maxims of a high and sovereign morality. Still, however, it has been the weak. nees of human nature to indulge in such propensi- ties, frem the first fight—that between Cain and Abel, within sight of the tree of life, and within hetening distance to the murmurs of the waters of Eden—through succeeding ages and centuries, to the present day. There is but little use in bemoaning the inevitable condition of hu- manity, or to snuffle out a condemaation aga inst those excesses or eccentricities which seem to be part of human nature, from the first era of life to the setting of last evening’s sun on the hills of the monopolising State of New Jersey. The extraordinary rush for the Herald which appeared yesterday morning at ten o’clock, testified to the vast interest which was felt by the great floating population of this city, in the contest between Hyer and Sullivan. For hours our fast presses threw off sheet after sheet, ten thousard per hour, until the anxiety of the public was sufficiently gratified. All classes of society— the nich and the poor, the high and the low, the elegantly dressed denizens of Wall street and Park Place—all shades of our hetero- geneous society, were as desirous to know the re- sult as the loafers of Chatham square or the rowdies of the Bowery. Since the famous duel between Mr. McDuffie, of South Carolina, and Col. Cummings, of Georgia—since the bloody encounter between Jonathan Cilley, member of Congress from Maine, and another from Kentucky —since the celebrated duel between Thomas F. Marshall, of Kentucky, and James Watson Webb, of New York—we have seen nothing that created 80 great a sensation in the public mind, which ex- cited so much curiosity, and commanded so much attention among all classes of society, as this brutal fight between Thomas Hyer and Yankee Sullivan has done. It 19 lamentable—deplorable; but such is the fact. Yet there are some circumstances connected with this prize fight, as well as with the preparations for it by the prize fi.hters, from which we, like the honey bee, Which extracts sweet jnices from the thietle ot the desert, can draw something like a moial or a lesson. The sell-denial, the tempe- rance, the daily exercise, the beautiful regimen» which both of the pugilists underwent fer months betore the encounter between them teok place, present the elements of a sys- tem of life which i8 equal to amy system of morality or human conduc: that can pe picked out of the historical romances of the last thirty cea- turies, from the time of Socrates to the training { Hyer and Sullivan, The tollowing was the mode of training adopted by the respective pugi- iets Since Deoember Inst, Sullivan and Hyet have bron ancergoime revere tr —the former at Shaw's, newr be Union Race Course, Long Ielaud. wad the latier as Deege's, Lear M'Comb s Dam, Suuivan has been at sepded by Country M:Cleester and Tom O'Donnell; nd Hyer by George Thompeom and Joe Winrew, as trainers.

Hyer haseaten three meals a day—at 8. 12, and ile Sallivan hes eaten only two meals, st 6 uring the two weeks im- lately preceding the fight, mutton was substituted fer beef. Here 1s a system of living founded on the high- est principles of temperance and strict morality. If both of the combatants escape without loss of | life, and should they adopt, in after life, the system of living which they practised while training—and af they were to add tothat a little ot true religioa— we say, im spite of their past life, they would be in regular training for a life of immorta) happiness hereafter. We hope, if both escape with lite from this brutal contest, that they will take these views and suggestions into consideration, and that they may become better members of so- ciety than what they have heretofore been. Sulli- van, we understand, has been the chief and cham- pion of a class of society compoged of persons | similar in every respect to himseli—not refiaed; not by any means classical in either their tastes or ideas, nor highly elevated in their conceptions; but generally possessing principles of good sense and sound intelligence. Thomas Hyer is an elegant and fine looking young man, has been the pet of fashionable society in this city a3 a pugilist, and in appearance and symmetry of person, almost equals the statues of Apollo. It is probable that he will soon return to this city, and grace the Opera and the saloons of Park Place and upper Broadway with his presence, if he should not be demanded by the authorities of Maryland to answer for the vio- lation of the Jaws of that State. If the Legislature at Albany have passed a law against prize fightiag —well and good; but we doubt if any of its pro- visions willreach either of the combatants in this case. If sucha law has not yet been passed, we trust it will be enacted at once; and we hope every State in the Union will follow our example. Many, however, believe that there 1s law enough to punish all the parties in this brutal extubition. ‘While we speak thus leniently and mode- rately of this prize fight, we hope and trust, whatever the issue may be, that it will be the last prize fight that will ever take place in this country. The past cannot be recalled—the evil that 1s done cannot be undone; but the life now in damger may be saved yet; the eyes that are now bunged up may be opened, and the bruises which they have given to each other may be healed by the skill of a good surgeon. Let us hope that all cl.sses of seciety--the pious as well as the uppious, the high and the low—may, out of this evil, draw something of good ;—and hope for the future. ConerzssiowaL Rerortinc.—What a sad over- sightCongress made in the miserable and inefficient attempt to estgblish a system of Congressional re- porting by which the debates of both houses might be published succinctly and accurately before the country! The Senate pays fifteen dollars per co- lumn, to be filled up with all kinds of trash by the two imbecile and sinking journals of the two old parties at Weehingion. ‘Every idea, no matter how unimportant or trifling, 1s amplified and en- larged by the reporters of the Jntellsgencer and Union, because 1t brings in cash to the amount of fitteen dollars per column. But the most impor- tant debates in the House are entirtly om:tted and overlooked. There is not a single journal in the country now, by which the American people can obtain a fair report of the proceedings of both houses. except one, which happens to be publish- ed in the city of New York, and is called the New York Herald. All the leading journals content themselves with the brief, and oftentimes blun- dering, reports of the telegraphic reporters. The Washington journals give none of the important debates in the House; and out of three thousand journ: in this blessed country, the New York Herald ia the only one which maintains a corps of reporters at Weshington, by whose services it is enabled to give very fair and condensed reports o: the important debates in both houses. Ovght not the members of Congress to be ashamed of themselves for throwing away the pub- le money by millions, upon matters of little or no importance—sometimes on mere job of corrup- uon; and yet they niggardly refuse to make ar- rangements by which such a journal as the Herald, or any other newspaper competent to the business, would be willing to give fair, full, and accurate reports, spread fully betore the civilized world, in- stead of being buried, as they are, in the imbecile ‘Washington papers? Lirerary Lecturss anp Lacturers.—Some of the newspapers here are calling lustily upon literary persons to attend certain lectures, which are about to be given by Mr. Dana, frem Boston, upon Shakspeare and his characters. No doubt these lectures will be very good; but one might buy better at any of our bookstores than any modern lecturer could give for one-fourth or one- filth of the expense. The fuss of giving commen-place lectures, in this age of books, threatens to degenerate into charlatanism. TxizaRarnic.—Dr. Jones, the telegraphic re- porter of this city, has come out in a morning paper with an elaborate plan for constructing a telegraph between New York and Liverpool, along the bot- tom of the Atlantic Ocean. Before our excellent {nend, the doctor, finishes this extensive telegraph, we hope sincerely he will improve his system now in operation between Washington and New York, 80 asto give reports with fewer blunders, and cal- culated to enlighten the public a little more than has been the case throughout the existing winter.

Buaron’s Tazatas.—Mr. Barton is, beyond a doubt one of the most successful managers of the present dey; bis aim appears to be studied to please the pub- Uo taste, by getting up pieces of a superior cast, such as will always attract good houses, and ef course meet with the general approbation of the public. The thea- ing was well attended, to witness three pieces, “Vanity Fair,” ‘Mischief king,” and “Monto-Cristy.” All these pleces are played by the whole force of the talented company, in a wanner which reflects infinite credit, receiving, as they do nightly, the lause of a delighted audience.

Dramatic Funp Association.—The first benefit of this association took place last night, at the Astor Place Opera House, which was crowded to its utmost capacity. Numbers were unable to obtain seats, as early as a quarter past seven o'clock, among whom we were unfortunate enough to be ranged, notwithstand- ing eoveral earnest appeals to the “little fat man,” Jobn Povey, whose ambition to display his galiantry ‘to one sex, made him almost forget his courtesy to- wards the other. This, however, is not the first time that we and others have had occarion to complain of want of attention to the gentlemen of the press on the part of those who are, in a great measure, indebted to them for the position they occupy, not only in their profession, but in society. ‘ Macbeth,” we were in- med by the bills, was the play for the occasion, Mr. Forrest to sustain the principal character. We also saw a notice in the lobby that the Distin family, who wore to have played a quartette on the sax herns, were prevented from appearing in consequence of indieposi- tion. We did not see the performances, |, of course, can say nothing about them. Gcnau’s Grano Concert will take place this even- ing at the Tabernacle.

Overtures, waltzes, qua- @ lopade-, &e., will form the greater portion of the pieces. Weexpect the Tabernacle will be crowded. Lviai Evena’s Conceat.—This concert, which took place last evening at Stuyvesant Inetitute, was attend- ed by a large and fashionable audience.
