The prize fight for five thousand dollars and the hampionship of America, which has been on the »pis for the past four months, between John Mor- rissey and John Heenan, the “ Benicia Boy,” took place on Wednesday afternoon, in Canada, and re- sulted in Morrissey winning the battle. The con- test was decided in twenty-two minutes, eleven rounds being fought in that brief space of time. Such are the results of the great prize fight, and, taken in connection with all the circumstances at tending it, they are singularly suggestive. Here are two men who have, during a period of four months, subjected themselves to the severest phy- sical training, and who, in al that time, have dis- played a self-restraint and a power of control over their passions which, if exercised for a higher and nobler purpose, might acquire for them a well de- served distinction in an honorable field. When we consider that the class of men to which these two belong are of the most dissipated habits—men who have always sought the indulgence of their worst passions, and whose days and nights are spent in carousing and in other carnal pleasures—in a word, whose physical powers develope the worst passions of human nature—when we consider all this, our wonder is excited at the singular anomaly with which we have been presented in the case of Morrissey and Heenan. Day after day, for four months, they have submitted to the trict regimen and treatment of their trainers; they have each walked and ran twenty miles a day; they have abstained from the immoderate use of drink, content with the smal! quantity allowed them; led a perfectly chaste life; they have gone to rest at an early hour every night, and have in other ways shown a power of self-restraint to which we might naturally suppose such men were utter strangers. The effect of this high system of training has been to develope their muscular powers to the highest degree, and when they entered the ring and strip- ped for the encounter their physical appearance, improved as it kas been in this way, showed to how great a state of perfection such matters have been brought. Their flesh has been rendered as hard and firm and as clear in appearance as alabaster, and the freedom and play of their mascles denotes great activity and strength. And yet all this is for the brutal, the debasing and demoralizing exhibi- tion of the prize ring. As this whole affair pre- sents a most singular anomaly in our social sys- tem, we give the fullest particulars of the fight. The steamship Pacific, of the Galway line, arrived at St. Johns, N.F., yesterday. She brings Liver- pool advices to the 12th inst., three days later than those received by the Europa, and news from India and China. The general intelligence is unimpor- tant. Consols are quoted at 9S¢ a 9*3 for money. In Liverpool the cotton market exhibited signs of improvement, but breadstuffs continued dull. The steamship Ariel, Captain Lodlow, from Ha- vre and Southampton, arrived last evening. She left Southampton on the evening of the 6th inst. The European mails to the 9th inst., brought by the steamship Europa, reached this city from Boston about midnight last night. Our files do not contain any news of importance in addition to that contained in our telegraphic summary, published in yesterday's Henaup. The steamship Black Warrior arrived from Ha- vana yesterday, with advices dated on the 15th in- stant. There is no news of interest. Sugars were unchanged in price. Exchanges ruled at last quo- tations, A survey of the Tacon theatre showed that the building was rendered unsafe in conse- quence of the shock it sustained at the time of the late explosion. It will have to be taken down, and the Opera is thereby delayed for a season. The health of Havana was good. The American cap- tain of the slave bark Haidee was still in the city. Some runaway negroes had perpetrated desperate outrages at Puerto Principe. The crops looked very well there. Health of the district good. We have advices from St. Domittgo City to the 94 inst. Santana was more than ever under the in- fluence of England and France. It is said that the diplomatic interests of the United States were on the wane. Peace and quiet prevailed in the repub- lic, but an invasion by the troops of Soulouque was dreaded. A number o cers had gone into voluntary exile. The seat of government ix to re- main in St. Domingo City. Trade was ata stand still. Public health good. We have news from St. Thomas to the Ist of Oo- tober. Our correspondent writes:—A strange look ing sort of a visiter calls to see Santa Anna now and then, arriving by British steamer, and disappear. ing by the Ocean Bird, or other British steamer for the main. He continues to fight his chickens, smoke his pure Habanero, and goes not out from among Us. We are so cool in our habits that he despairs of touching our morality. Floar ranges from $7 5 to $8 50 according to grade. Health of the island good. Exchange on United States, at 60 days’ sight, bank drafts, half per cent premium; three days tight, one per cent premium, From Turks Islands we have news to the 5th of October. Over haif a million bushels of salt were on hand. The price was 74 cents per bushel, with 4 cent export duty. In the Board of Aldermen last evening an ordi- nance granting an additional $300,000 to the Central P rk Commissioners was adopted unanimously. ere are pow 2,700 workmen employed on the y ck. Petitions from engine conpanies Nos. 22 wed 42 for steam fire engines were received and aerred. The Board of Conncilmen were in session last evening, but the proceedings were devoid of public interest. Heary ©. Babcock and Joseph Caillon presented a petition to erect ornamental kioels in the principal streets of the city, which was refe-red to the Committee on Arts and Sciences. Mr. Bunce NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1858. offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling upon the Street Commissioner for information as to the cause of the delay in the construction of Tompkins Market. A resolution, presented by Mr. Cross, asking for the discharge of the special com- mittee appointed last March to investigate the fraudulent assessments for regulating Fifty-second street, was referred to the joint Committee on Accounts. The trial of Dr. Theodore Gaillardet, for an as- sault with intent to kill Mr. Cranston, the proprietor of the New York Hotel, which was commenced in the General Sessions on Friday, resulted last even- ing in the conviction of the accused, whereupon, in accordance with the rules of the Court, the As- sistant District Attorney moved for his commitment to the city prison. The defendant was taken in charge by the officers, and will be sentenced on Saturday. As soon as the jury had pronounced the verdict Madame Gaillardet gave vent to her emo- tion in convulsive shrieks, and the scene was very aflecting. We learn from Albany that the Court of Ap- peals has reversed the judgment in the case of Cancemi, and ordered a new trial. A meeting of the citizens of Brooklyn was held ast night at the Polytechnic Institute, A. A. Lowe, Esq., in the chair, to consider the expediency of erecting a large hall for first class musical and other entertainments. Communications were re- ceived from the Rey. Mr. Storrs and the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, expressing a warm concurrence in the objects of the meeting. Amongst the speakers were the Revs. Messrs. Farley, Kennedy and McKee, who all gave it as their opinion that the proposed building would be a benefit to the city, and would conduce to its best interests. An inquiry as to whether the plan would include operatic represen- tations was met with an intimation that that would be a matter for the stockholders to decide, and that the general feeling was in favor of them. Resplu- tions were adopted fixing the amount of stock necessary to carry out the undertaking at $125,000, and naming 4 committee of twenty of the leading citizens to solicit subscriptions, and to take such further steps as they might deem necessary to pro- mote the views of the meeting. The opposition of the city of New York held a mass meeting yesterday in the city Park. It was a slim affair—in fact a decided failure. Speeches were made by Justice Peabody, Hon. Galusha A. Grow, and others. For resolutions and speeches see the report in to-day's paper. Upwards of two thousand democrats of the Ele- venth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth wards, constitut- ing the Sixth Congressional district, assembled last evening at the Cooper Institute, for the purpose of ratifying the unanimous nomination of Mr. John Cochrane for Congress. Hon. John Wheeler pre- sided. Mr. Cochrane, in aneloquent and impres- sive speech, addressed the mecting, reviewing his course in Congress, and justifying the Buchanan administration. The honorable gentleman was most enthusiastically received, and at the conclu- sion of his able address was warmly applauded. In the course of the proceedings Gen. Walbridge's name was mentioned, and the majority of the as- semblage most loudly cheered the General. We regret we are obliged from pressure on our co- lumns to defer the publication of our report of the proceedings and the able address of Mr. Cochrane. There was a large meeting of the members of Plymouth church, (under the pastoral care of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,) Brooklyn, last even- ing, to devise the best means for raising a sum of $175,000, which the Committee on Finance have de- cided is necessary for the completion of the edifice in a prominent locality. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Howard, and Mr. Claflin was called to the chair. After a lengthy debate it was resolved that subscriptions be raised as donations, and that subscription books be prepared, to be given to all who desired them. A widow's mite of two dollars was acknowledged with gratitude, and a few dona- tions made—among them Mr. Claflin, $3,000; Mr. Reach, 1,000; and the Rev. Mr. Beecher, $1,000. Two of these gentlemen also guaranteed to raise each $5,000 more. The meeting soon after ad- journed to Monday next. The Excise Commissioners met yesterday after- noon, but as there was no business before them they adjourned till to-day. The following have been received by the Receiver of Taxes:— Previous to October 15. October 15 October 20 Uetober 21 bales, chiefly on the spot; the market closed without no- ticable change in priees. Flour opened dull, but at the close holders manifested more firmness, and the market exhibited rather more spirit. Wheat was in good supply, and the market heavy and easier, but with more de- mand, especially for milling purposes. Corn was dull,and tended towards lower rates, with fair sales at prices given in another column. Pork was less buoyant and active wales of old mess were made at $16 37 a $16 45, and of old prime at $14 20 a $1425. Other provisions were without change of moment. Sugars were heavy, with sales of about 700 a 800 bhds., at rates given in another place. Coffee was steady: sales of about 400 bags of Rio were ms by public auction at 10ie. a 12Kc.—average 10-19¢., and 400 mats Java at 140. a 1430; 4,000 bags Rio (the cargo of the North Point) were sold to the trade on private terms, and 600 bags St. Domingo at 9Xc. Freights were firmer for Liverpool, with rather more offering. Our November State Election=Signs of a Crushing Defeat of the Democracy. From the apparently cordial union in the outset of all fuctions of the New York demo- eracy upon their State ticket and the common platform of the administration, and from the divisions of our opposition forces into three clashing and irreconcileable faetions, we have heretofore considered the success of the de- moeratic party in our November State election as hardly admissible of a doubt. But recent de- velopements and events, here and elsewhere, have dissipated all these favorable anticipations, and now, from all the lights and shadows, fucts and testimony before us, we frankly confess that we anticipate nothing else than a crushing defeat of our demoralized democracy in November—a de- feat which will include the election of Morgan and his State ticket, an opposition Legislature, and an increased opposition delegation in Con- gress, In support of this opinion, it is now manifest that the apparent union of the democracy of this Siate upon the common basis of Mr. Buchanan's administration is a delusion and a snare. Our federal officeholders here, acting under the general belief that Mr. Buchanan can, in no event, be a candidate for a second term, have been casting about them in reference to the contingencies of the future. They have thought it well to take time by the forelock, and ac- cordingly we discover such dutiful officials as Mesers. Fowler, Sanders, Hart and Rynders, and the other leaders of Tammany Hall, and the Cooper interest in our city government, earnestly scheming and plotting, here, there, and every- where, not for the success of this administration, but for the epoils of the next. In this connoc- tion a few bistorical facts and specifications will serve to enlighten the uninitiated reader in the tricks and calculations of juggling politicians. When Mr. Senator Douglas was in this city last summer, en route to Illinois, he excited a good share of honest democratic sympathy from hie pacific professions in referewce to the adminis- tration. He was anxious for peace with it, and did not igtend to make war against it, He hoped that by-gones would be by-gones, and that the administration and all the democracy would s00n be cordially reunited throughout the Union. And yet, ‘at the same time, we have every reason to believe, Mr. Douglas was actually nego- tiating with the secret and open enemies of the administration here for the ways and means | with which to meet his political and financial ne- ceasities in Minois in opposition to the admin is- tration. These negotiations, we also believe, em- braced certain financial arrangements, and the groundwork of a responsive political coalition between the Douglas faction and the Seward party in New York and Illinois. We all know that upon the first impulse, afler the Kansas bolt of Douglas in Congress, and in consideration of his services to “bleeding Kan- sas,” that some of our leading Seward organs in this quarter pleaded hard for the adoption of Douglas as the champion of the republicans in Minois. That plan of operations was rejected there; but our Seward managers did not aban- don the idea of still turning Douglas to a good account, both here and there. Mr. Douglas want- ed money—a hundred thousand dollars. From the legal documents in the case, it appears that of this sum he raised fifty thousand dollars, part from Fernando Wood and the balance from one of our numerous professional money lenders. The other fifly thousand are not accounted for, but it is very likely that the Seward political interest of New York found it to their advantage to sup- ply the funds. The mystery in all these sympa- thetic Douglas and Seward movements in Illi- nois, at Syracuse, in Tammany Hall, and in the Congressional cases of Clark and Haskin and others, certainly admits of no other explanation than that of a secret understanding, financial and potitical, between the Seward and Douglas prime managers in New York and Illinois. On the part of the Seward managers the ob- ject was and is to destroy, root and branch, the Northern democracy, with the aid of the Douglas defection; while the object of the Douglas con- spirators is simply to destroy an administration which they have failed to rule, Starting upon this basis of a secret understanding between the Seward and Douglas managers, we can account at once for all the otherwise inexplicable doings of our Tammany leaders here and at Syracuse, and also for the cool and contemptuous manner in which the republicans at Syracuse rejected the overtures of the American faction for a common State ticket. In Dean Richmond, Peter Cagger, Erastus Corning and the Central Railroad, and in the Douglas conspiracy, our republican scene shifters felt that they had secured allies that would serve their purpose much better than the slippery Know Nothings and their good for nothing balance of power in the Southern States. Ina word, Mr. Seward could not trust a half- and-half affiliation with the Know Nothings, and there was no necessity for it when he could do without it. At length we begin to ace the working of the game. The Seward party of this State are confi- dent, because they know the weak and salient points of the democracy, and have secured them. In this view, it is probable that the anti-Tammany faction of this city is as rotten as the Tammany faction, and that the professions of the one of love and constancy to the administration are not a whit better than the cold shoulder and Douglas resolutions of the other. On both sides, in regard to the administration, we can now discover the evidences, more or less, of the most barefaced impudence, imposition and trickery The same democratic treacheries, rottenness and demoralization, (and with more intimate compli- cations here between the interests of Seward and Douglas,) which prostrated the Pennsylvania democracy in October, will bring the New York democracy down to the dust in November. Their Douglas managers have betrayed the present administration too soon, and this clique and that clique have commenced too soon their dirty plots and schemes for the spoils of the suc- cession. Mark the consequences. They do not involve the destruction of the administration, for that survives, and, as it has shown, it can flourish re- gardless of the party; but in these premature schemes, tricks and intrigues of factious jobbers and leaders for the succession, they have already destroyed their chances in the destruction of the party. In this view, the work which was not done in Pennsylvania will be done in New York in our November election, or there is no trath in the overshadowing facts, developements and signs of the times. ‘The Carnival of the Gladiators. According to the opinions of a large and in some degree a respectable class of the commu- nity, the most important event of the day occur- red on Wednesday near Buffalo. We refer to the pugilistic encounter between those distinguished champions of the ring, Mr. Morrissey and Mr. Heenan, the latter rejoicing in the affectionate soubriquet of the “Benicia Boy.” As will be seen by our telegraphic advices from the Canadian field of Mars, the fight resulted in the victory of Morrissey, who wears the champion’s belt, and whose brows are decorated with the conqueror’s bays. The excitement in the city yesterday, when the result of the bloody encounter was an- nounced, rose to a boiling point. For afew hours the great triumph of the successful gla- diator clouded the sunlight of public favor which had sparkled in the eyes of one of the most charming artistes that ever captivated our public, and obscured the laurels placed on the brow of La Piccolomini. We have given the great gladiatorial event the prominence and importance to which it is enti- tled. The Henan of to-day contains a full and graphic description of the preparations for the encounter, charming biographical sketches of the contending gladiators, an account of their preliminary training, and a copy of the rules under which they agree as to the exact manner in which they shall proceed to bruise and maul each otber until one shall be pounded into an acknowledgment of the physical supremacy of the other. The record is in many respects a curious one, and although it seems paradoxical to say 80, it is really an instance of the progress of the age. In medimval times the trial of skill by combat and the duello was confined, asa matter of course, to nobles and gentlemen. The common people, who were not privileged to bear arms, resorted to their fiste, or to the stout quarterstaff, which cracked many an English ekull in the good old days when the Eighth Harry was King. A century later we find the journals of the day recording the pleasing fact that any gentleman who was desirous to have his bead battered, for the trifling considera- tion of a couple of shillings, might‘ be accommodated on any day of the woek at an agreeable estai hmont called the Cockpit. In those days there was no long train- | ing or heavy betting. A gladiator issued hisde- | fiance on one day, and was taken up on the next. We do these things more elegantly now-a-days. | The ring has become one of the dearest institu- tions of the British realm, and has extended it- self to our shores, where its influences have killed more of our young men than war or pestilence. This very fight between Morrissey and Hee- nan has made as much town talk as if it were some great achievement of science or wonderful exhibition of strategic skillon the battle field. The city has been temporarily emptied of the ringleaders in its fighting element, while their retainers are watching with the deepest anxiety for the announcement of the result, For the mo- ment these very nice persons have overlooked the fact that to them is confided by a generous people the regulation of the political affairs of this metropolis, and we have good reason to fear that they have for the time being neglected their important duties. Let us hope they will make up for lost time before election day. In view of the intense public interest in the encounter between the modern gladiators who represent the principles upon which our mu- nicipal government is founded, we would suggest a grand “muscle demonstratien” to the con- quering hero and his defeated opponent. We would be magnanimous, because, though over- come, he may not be entirely wiped out, unless he should happen to die, which would be painful tohim. The members of the Common Council must recollect, also, that these men of muscle are more faithful to each other than are the poli- ticians for whom they work to their fellows, and that conciliating both parties is, therefore, the best policy. When the distinguished Mr. Hyer hammered the famous Mr. Sullivan, the con- queror was received with due honors by a num- ber of “private gentlemen” representing the cream of the faro and fisticuff world. But as the Corporation has a direct interest in the fighting man per se, and frequently rewards the hardest hitter with the highest place, it seems eminently proper that the heroes of to-day should have a grand civic reception, including congratulatory orations, complimentary resolutions, and grand muscle processions, after the fashion of the cor- tege at the funeral of the late lamented Mr. William Poole. There should be grand fire- works—no doubt some patriotic pyrotechnist will give them gratis—in fact, altogether a Roman triumph. The return of the mighty men of muscle may be expected to-day (like railway directors, they never meet with accidents by the way); but in ogder that the Common Council may have plenty of time to getup the demonstration, to erect triumphal arches, arrange the banners, the mottoes, le- gends and devices, and otherwise make a nice affair of it, the arrival of the re- cipients of Corporation honors might be post- poned until to-morrow or Monday. We do hope that the Common Council will not fail to honor these men after its usual fashion. They have publicly left this State to engage in a prize fight, and have accomplished their laudable purpose. Some persons, who are so far behind the age as to have faith in the criminal code, say that they ought to be sent to the penitentiary; but they are above and beyond all codes, because they make the people who make the codes, There- fore, let us give them a grand reception by the Corporation, with a banquet at not less than ten dollarsa head. They will be just in time, too, for a couple of Aldermanic nominations. Let them have all the reward that a grateful people can bestow upon its representative men. Tux Srcoxp Ariantic Canie.—We an- nounced the fact several days ago that it was the intention of the British government to lay another cable next year between Ireland and Newfoundland. Since that announcement we have been informed that the government have made arrangements with the company, by which the latter have agreed to undertake the work, the government having offered them a certain per centage on the capital already invested. We have no doubt, however, that the cable which is now submerged will be made to work before next year, so that when the second is laid we shall have two to do the business of the line, One of the great difficulties with which the electricians have had to contend is said to be the choking up of the conductor by the electric current, which has, they say, no means of egress, The electricians are very scientific, no doubt, and they have done a great many wonderful things with that same cable. One of those phi- losophers, who hnd tested the North Sea line for loss of insulation, informed the world that there existed a defect in that cable over a hundred miles from the shore, but it was subsequently found that the fault was actually on the beach. In the case of the Atlantic cable, it is to be hoped they will get over the stuffing difficulty. Everything certainly seems to have been made perfectly clear for them. Providence, in the first place, provided the great submarine plateau, and then made known the peculiar properties of gutta percha as an insulator. But this, it ap- pears, was not enough, for the insulation thus provided was too perfect, and caused a stuffing up of the currents, which could not get through. ‘This last difficulty was removed, however, by a leak, through which the current might relieve itself, so that the electricians would seem to have nothing to complain of now. Despite the grave and discouraging reports which some of these gentlemen have made, we should not be surprised if, when the shore end of the cable shall have been laid, and Mr. Hughes’ instruments are put on the line, it will be made to work, and work successfully, Acavemy oF Mceio—Piccotomist.—The second per. formance of Ta Piccolomini in the Traviata’? will take place this evening, and from present indica. tions the house will be as brilliant as on the night of her débit. The town seems unanimons in favor of the fair cantatrice, ax well as in praising the liberal and elegant tyle in which Mr. Ullman has gotten ap the opera. In the arrangements for the comfort of the auditors, the per feetion of the mise en scéne, the fulness and excellence of the orchestra and chorus, the Academy will compare favo. rably with the grand Enropean houses. Th addition to all thie Mr. Uliman has introduced the ballet, and his pre.” mitre daneeuse, Senorita Soto, is one of the finest artists as well as one of the handsomest women of the day. In fact, Mr. Uliman has taken the lend in giving us an Opera house which is worthy of the metropolis, and there ean be no doubt that it will be the favorite place of amusement with #ll classes. The success of Piccolomini is the first of a series of grand coups for the metropolis, and is but the beginning of a feries of triumphs for the captivating prima donna throvghout the country. ‘The other artiste bave already received the stamp of approbation from a most critical and fastidious audience: and the seaeon will be a very brilliant ome, ‘Mra. MeManox at Derrort.—The statement to the ef. fect that Mrs. MeMahon had been hissed from the stage ot Detroit has no foundation in fact. At the Intest dates she was etill ploying there, and was said to be popular with the poblic. There seems t’ be something like an at tempt to perssevte this lady, and if such is the fact it ie mean and ungy!!ant ip the extreme, THE LATEST NEWS. Arrival of the Pacific at St. Johns.
