BFATB OF THE &., ke, Huurax, Oct. 20, 1858. ‘The rtoamship Furopa, Captain Leiteh, from Liverpoo? ‘at half past ten o’clock on the morning of the 9th instant, arrived at this port at twelve o’clock last night. Her dates are three days later than those already received. Among her passengers are Hon. Henry J. Raymond, of the New ‘Verk Times, and Judge Putnam, of Boston. ‘The Europa sailed at 4 A.M. for Boston, where she ‘will be due to-morrow (Thursday) noon, Weather clear and calm. ‘The acrew steamship North American, from Quebec 25th ‘elt. arrived at Liverpool on the 7th inet. ‘The news by the Europa is not of an important charac- ter. The Europa reports, on the 14th inst. exchanged signals with the British bark Emigrant, bound east. ‘The ship Daniel Webster, arrived at London from New Yerk, reports that on the 20th of September, in latitude #8 30, longitude 42 57, passed a number of dead bodies, supposed to be from the burnt steamer Austria. ‘A deputation from the Atlantic Steam Packet Company Ihad bad an interview with Mr. Hamilton, Secretary of the ‘Freasury, on the subject of postal subsidies between Gal- way, Newfoundland and America. He stated that the government viewed with considerable interest the new Nine of steamers between Galway and the British North American colonies, by Mr. Lever, and the importance they attached to be able to communicate between London and ‘Washington in six days. ‘The Limerick Chronicle cays that on the assembling of Parliament the government will recommend giving to Galway a grant of $50,000 as the first instalment for the eonstruction of a breakwater, should the Commissioners’ weport be favorable. The Commissioners had arrived to @emmence investigations. ‘The London Daily News has a hopeful editorial article em the Atlantic cable, and thinks it may yet be rendered available. It says that Professor Thomson has nearly wacceeded in neutralizing the effects of oarth currents ‘which become perplexing when the currents through the @abie are 80 week.

Consols closed at 98¢ a 9834 for both money and ac- count. The bullion in the Bank of England had increased 000. The London Times’ city article of the 8th says:—The English funds throughout the day have been firm at the improved quotation of last evening. Payments in the ‘Turkish ane amounting in the ite to £700,000, caused a slight demand for money, but not to an extent to roduce any material change in the current. Tho divi- lends will be payable to the public on Wednesday next, and the opinion seems to be that on the following day the bank will notify to 23g per cent, instead of adopting the more desirable course of allowing their terms to be con- tingent from day to day on the state of the market. liabilities of M. Dubaut, whose failure, at Lille, was announced a day or two back, are stated at £200,000. The London Times, on the slate of the money market, Bays it seems certain that an extraordinary increase of eake must be expected, since the public this quarter have ebtirely abstained from taking any advance from the bank during the shutting of the transfer books. The whole of the dividends will, therefore, come into their hands, Further specie recoipts are also certain to take place in the interval, the larger portion of which will be retained here, although some partial amounts will be required for France and Hoiland, where the demand for money this week has been more active than in London. AMERICAN SBCURITIES, Messrs. Baring Brothers report the market generally unchanged. State stocks were scarce. Mesers. Bell & Son say there had been an average business transacted, with- out any material variation in prices. The market closed steady. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. The Brokers’ Circular states that the galee of the week were 45,000 bales, of which 2,600 were on speculation and 3,000 for export. The mar! was slow, but thero ‘was no change in prices. Sales on the 8th inst. were 7,000 bales, the market closing quiet but steady at the follow- ing authorized quotations :— 1% 79:16 ie % 75-16 1 as estimated at 495,000 bales, which 418,000 were American. .

The grand operatic event of the season took place at the Academy of Music last night, whea Mr. Ullman com- menced his winter season, and introduced to the Amer!- can public a prima donna who has led the British lion captive during two seasons. The long expected and much desired Marietta Piccolomini made her début in ‘‘La Travia- ta’ under the most favorable auspices. The splendid theatre presented an unusually gay appearance. Long before the opera commenced the streets in the vicinity of the Academy were choked up with carriages, and Irving place fairly floated im crinoline. Within, every place was occupied, the Jobbies, aisles and corridors being almost impassable. A description of the audience may be given in three worde— everybody was there, The new boxes in the first tior absolutely blazed with beauty, and we doubt if any thea- tre in the world ever presented such an array of pretty women. Almost every one was in full dress, and the effect was worth going miles to sce. But to the opera: ‘When the fair cantatrice entered upon the scene she was greeted with «a reception which was extremely cordial—such a recognition, in fact, as our gal lant public always gives to a stranger and a woman. The first impression was one of admiration at the rare per- ronal gifts of the new prima donna, With a petite figure, and a lovely brunette complexion, more transparent than those of Italians generally; a charming, rosy, tempting mouth; an exquisitely moulded hand and arm, and that indescribable fascination of manner which we call capti- vating—it wae no great wonder that La Piccolomini vaulted at once into the affections of the audience. Everbody said, “How charming she is!’ and then waited to hear her her sing. When she took op the air of the “Brindist,”’ from Steffuni, she looked like a duodecimo Hebe, got up in the mort splendid style. She dashed through it with true bucchanalian fervor. There could be no probibitory liquor law where La Piccolomini gave supper parties. It was received with a storm of ap- plause as sharp as a volley of musketry, and its repetition followed #2 & matter of course. The pretty little duct, “O, Happy Day,” was charmingly sung,and the prima donna threw a thousand sensations into the Addio. What Shakapere calls the ‘sweet sorrow’ of parting is perfect. understood by Piccolomini. But the vocal powers of the lady still remained to be tested in the scena and aria the remarkable effeot which the French call the “tears in the voice.” In that speciality khe has equalled within our recollection. But the truth told, even about a pretty woman, and the truth is Verdi operas, and who content themeetves with giving an intense dramatic expression # the music, without trou bling themerives about nicetice of execution. The ques- tion for the public to decide is whether or not the grand acting of such an artiet as Piccolomini makes up for the absence of finished singing. So far as the firet act went the deciion was certainly unanimous in favor of Piccolomini. She was called ont threo times, and literal. ly botanized with bouquets. After the third call the cur- tain wae raised, and ehe repeated the final air. Bat to our mind bor strongest point was in the acone with Ger ‘mont, inthe secondact. It will be remembered that the Aituation is expecially touching. Violetta sacrifices her lover at the tarnest pleading of his father. Piccolomini einborated all the details of the conficting passions which Agitate the breast of the unhappy girl with great skill Her acting is a study for the connoieseur. It is as perfect an a chef @awore by an old master. One point was artistic in the extreme, Her parting with the father was carnest, respectful and pathetic, but her aiieu to her lover ‘was an Outbreak of her whole sorrowing heart. The suf. fased eyes, trembling bands, quivering frame and words broken with sobs, wore irresistibly touching. Similar honors were accorded to her after this act as for the first. From this period of the opera up to the third act the prima donna has little to do, And that reminds us to eay, in passing, that Piccolomini is great in little things. Her by play is exceedingly artistic, and her movements upon the stage are full of «ymmotry and grace. The third act was finely rendered. Tho artist seomed almost inapired fn rendering the “Gran Dio?’ and her outburst of joy at meeting Alfred was splendid. ft was great acting. After the curtain fell the pent up enthosiaem of the public broke out ina storm of ap- plaure such ne is rarely heard anywhere, We really can. not fay how many times Piconlomini was recalled, having cenred to count after the third. She seemed mach aifoct ed, and, inclining her head gracefully over the footlights, said, “I thank you with all my beart, Jam very, very gratefol.” And so, in a hurricane of plaudits, and covered whh flowers, La Piccolomini finished her first night on American boards, To sum up: The fastidious critics find fault with her singing, and cannot find terms strong enough to praige her acting; the general public is charm- ed, fascinated, dazzled and led captive by her. So far, the opinion of New York seems to tally with that of every other public where Piccolomini has sung. For the rest: The tenor, Stefani, sang nearly the same as usual, straining a naturally fine voice to an unpleasant degree. In the delicious morceau Parigi J Cara, he sang loud enough to have killed any person with delicate nerver, to say nothing of a long and wasting ilfness, The new baritone, or rather light basso, Florenza, is a great acquisition, He has a fine voice and sings admirably well. In acting he is sometimes 80 prononce as to be ludicrous; Dut it is better to act too much than too little, The or- chestra and chorus were in admirable training, and the new conductor, Muzio, is one of the few chefs who know what piano is, and who can make other people understand it ‘@ well, The opera was admirably put upon the stage. Soto who made her début in the ballet incidental to the second act, was warmly received, and danced as artistically as ever. The performance, though not perfect, was alto- gether good, and the public has to thank the manager for a new sensation—a rare thing inthesedays. The ‘‘Travi- ata’? will be repeated on Friday, and we understand that nearly all the places have been taken already. Trial of Dr. Galllardet for a Felonious As- sault upon Hiram Cranston, Proprietor of the New York Hotel. SECOND PAY—EVIDENCE FOR THE PROSECUTION CONTINUED. COURT OF GENERAL SESHIONS. Before Recorder Barnard. Oct, 20.—The trial of Dr. Theodore Gaillardet for an al- leged agsault and battery with intent to kill Hiram Crans- ton, propgietor of the New York Hotel, was resumed this morning. The defendant and his lady occupied a reat con- tiguous to the counsel, and the interest in the case seems to be on the increase. Hiram Cranston, the complainant, was re-called and the cross-examination was continued. Mr. Cranston de- sired to correct one item of his testimony: the assault was committed on the 26th of May, and not on the 25tn, as re- ted; the sick gentleman, he understood, came from lavana; New York was not his home; witness only heard from report that he had left the city; on receiving a note from Dr. Gaillardet, stating that he would leave imme- diately, in obedience to my Tequest, T instructed my room clerk to send a boy who waited upon them to inform them that their meals would be served in their room during the time they remained at the hotel; it was a verbal direction, and was given soon after twelve, on the of Dr. Gaillardet’s note; I think I heard since the assault that the message was delivered, but to whom I don't know; I never had a personal interview with Dr. Gaillardet in reference to re- ceiving their meals in their room, nor did I ever write them a note on the subject; there is another action pend- ing against jaillardet for this assault, in which I am the plaintitY not know the amount of damages that is claimed; I swore to a complaint made, in which the amount of damages was named, but] do not remember the amount now; my counsel informed me that the doctor ‘wae arrested and held to bail; I was examined asa wit- ness before the Grand Jury in the finding of this indict- ment.

M. THE GREAT PRIZE FIGHT. The Combat of Morrissey and Heenan for the Championship. MORRISSEY THE VICTOR. Special Despatch to the New York Herald. Bovvaro, Oct. 21—2:40 A.M. ‘The fight between John Morrissey and John Heenan, the Benicia Boy, came off yesterday afternoon at Long Point, Canada, between seventy and eighty miles from Buffalo. Fieven terrific rounds were fought in twenty- two minutes, when Morrissey was declared the victor. A more severe fight for the time it lasted never took place in this country. Morrissey was the favorite at one hundred to sixty. About two thousand persons witnessed the fight, who behaved themselves in the most orderly manner, and everything passed off very quietly. Morrissey was seconded by Kelly, of Australia, and an agsistant. The Benecia Boy was seconded by Aaron Jones, an Foglish pugilist, and Johnny Mackey. Persons from all parts of the United States and Canada were present to witness the fight. Heenan had the Bagho the fight at the commencement, but after the { ft round Morrissey took the lead and kept it. He has improved greatly in his style since his fight with Yaukee Sullivan. DETAILS OF THE FIGHT. FIRST ROUND. At twenty-four minutes past three o'clock the fight be gan, Morrissey looked more muscular than in any of his previous fights. Heseemed very confident. Heenan'+ form was beautifel. but his condition did not appear up to the mark, his skin belmg very sallow. At the ecratch both men put ‘themselves in fine positions, and after sparring for a moment Morrissey struck out twice without reaching Hee. nan. They then got to work, Heenan putting im his left three or four times in succession, following Morrissey up to the ropes, where they clenched and fought desperately, both doing their best. They broke away, and hit for hit followed, Heenan’s hitting being very strong and effective, Morrissey getting the woret of the fighting. They again clinched, and after fighting for some time, putting in a number of body blows, Morrissey got a lock on Heenan, which the latter broke, and getting his log bebind Morrissey throw him heavily. In this round Heenan, having outfought Morrissey, gained the event, that of drawing first blood, which was loudly claimed for him, Great eheering for the Benecia Boy. ‘The round lasted six minutes, and was terrific from be: ginning to end. SECOND ROUND. Both men came up blowing from the fatigue of the last round, it being one of the severest ever fought in this country; but they were no sooner at the scraich than they went work, Heenan getting im bis lef twice on Morriesey’s nose, drawing the blood fn profusion, They thea went to work, giving and taking, Morrissey receiving the most punishment. Heenan fought in euch @ masterly manner that doubts were entertained about Morrissey’s being able to stand such hitting long. It i# trae that he planted several very good hits, bat they were not so ive as those of the Benecia Boy. He took the punishment man fully, never flinching an inch, getting in occaswmally on Heenan’s neck and ribs. They clinched, and as they struggled for the fail Heenan placed hie hand across tho face of Morrimey, when “foul” was cried, but not noticed by the referees.

They fought to a clench with about equal success, when Morris sey threw Heenan heavily and fellon him. Morrmeey's friends now began to cheer up, ae their hopes beean to brighten. POURTH ROUND. Heenan, when he came to the scratch, looked very ta tigued, dropping hie hands below his waist, which so elated Morrissey '« friends that the odds were again at the old standard—one hundred to sixty. As the men caine together Heenan hit Morriseey a tremendous blow on the nore which staggered him, but as Heenan followed Morrie sey planted « still more terrific one on Hoenan’s nose, which epirted the blood from his nove all over his breast and neck. Both men were now covered with blood, which was flowing from several wounds on each of their faces. ‘They soon fought to aclench, when Morriasey, being tho stronger man, threw Heenan and fell on top of him. Tt was now evident that the Benicia Boy had been fighting two fast, and was showing conclusive signs of weak nese FIFTH ROUND. ‘They both appeared at the scratch badly beaten, Mor rissey's face showing the greatest punishment. Heenan's bands were down, and his legs were shaking from weakness. As soon af they mot, Morrissey bit Heenan a heavy blow the forehewd, which staggered him, and twisted him half way round. He came back leading with his left, which wae stopped, and Morrissey countered him terrifically on the nose again, drawing the claret in greater quantities.

Morrissey again took the initiative, and gave Heenan a sharp hit on the mouth and another on the neck— Heenan getting in two straggling bits on Morrissey’s face, which was by this time dreadfully disfigured. Heenan was also much injured about the nose and mouth, and was bleeding very mach. His weakness, together with his despairing look—for it was evident that his strength had lefthim, and he was fast failing—was discouraging to his friends. Morrigsey, on the other hand, seemed to be getting stronger, showing the hardest hitting. He delivered more effective hits ‘n this round than Heenan, and pat in two or three heavy hits on Heenan’s kidneys, which bart Heenan very badly. The round closed with a clench, and by Morrissey throwing Heenan. Some cries of “foul” were heard as Morrissey’s hand accklen - ally passed over Heenan’s face in the struggle. KIGHTH ROUND, up to W seratch staggering, Heenan came his hands hanging by his waiting for the at- tack, but with no seeming disposition to hasten it, while Morrissey went up to his work with a great deal of courage. Heenan, after a pass from Morrissey, put in two blows with his right, and recetved im return six or eight hits from Morrissey in the face and body, some of which were very severe. Heenan’s blows #eemed to have lost their force now, and had litte effect on Morrissey’s adamantine head. The round closed with Heenan falling trom exhaustion. NINTH ROUND. Heenan seemed all abroad. He waited for Morrissey to come to him, and seemed to fight from compulsion alone. He struck out several times without hitting hie antagonist, turning completely round with his blows, giving Morrissey great chances of punishing bim and fin- iabing the fight; but the latter was not sharp enough to follow up his advantages. Morrissey, however, got in some clever hits, and finally knocked Heenan down with @ right hander on the neck. TENTH ROUND. The hitting in this round was altogether im favor of Morrissey, although the number of blows was about even, and nearly all about the bead. Heenan’s blows had po force aball. After a clineh Heenan was thrown, BLEVENTH AND LAST ROUND. Hoenan came up staggering, and looked pitiful, the fight being entirely out of him from Morrissey’ severe hitting im the latter part of the fight. He was hardly able to stand up, and when Morrissey went up to him his guard went down, and Morrissey bit him a very severe blow on the jugular, which knocked him out of time, and he fell on bis face, Morrissey stop- ping away from him, ‘And thus ended the fight for the championehip of America. Morriseey, at the end of tho fight, jumped over the ropes and walked to the house, while Hoenan did not re- cover his consciousness for half an hour after the aight was over. Morrissey says this is his last fight, and it is to be hoped he will keep his word. THE KXCITEMENT IN THE CITY. The Sighting and gambling fraternity were all agog yea- terday. From an early hour in the evening wntil past midnight the spirit of the prize ring was prevalent in every bar room, bowling alley and billiard saloon in the city. Morrissey and Heenan were immortalized; and, in the eyes: of the “fancy,” there were no such important personages Bow extant as the individuals already named. The crowds around the various newspaper offices labored under an intense state of excitement at every false alarm which was circulated concerning the all absorbing topic of the day. Newsboys took advantage of the fever and palmed off any number of ancient extras without the slightest difficulty. Pickpockets and counterfeiters aloo took advantage ef the chance and reaped a bountiful harvest. We heard ‘of ope gentleman who lost @ gold watch and chain, valued at $275, and another @ breastyn valued at $126. How many others suffered at the hands of the thieves it is im- poxsible to estimate. It was hoped that the news of the fight would reach this city about seven o'clock P. M., but the “fancy” were doomed to be disappointed, Neverthe- less, they kept up under this and many other diffcultiee until the news did arrive, and then may be there wan’ up a torch light (paper) procession, streets, shrieking at the tops of their cheers for Morrissey!’ or “three cheers for the Benicia Boy,”” just as they felt inclined. < a which of the modern gladiators had the riends, between the Morrissey and Heenan men grew warm, any number of “set-toe”’ were bad the The newsboys (innocent creatures) jofred im the #pirit, fought mimie battles, and made #0 much Boise that even the poles were awake.
