WHOLE NO. 8435. EDITION—MONDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1859. THE BRODERICK-TERRY DUEL OCJETY AND POLITICS IN CALIFORNIA, ostile Meeting Between a United States Senator and a Judge of the Supreme Court, enator Broderick Killed at the First Fire, story of the Quarrel and of the Parties, &e., fe have very exciting and interesting nows from Cali- nia, brought by the overland sail to St. Louis and enec telegraphed to this city. he political campaign in that State whick closed with p oloction on the 7th ult., and which resulted in the tri- pph of the administration party, was conductod in the pet rancorous manner, and was prolific in personal con- pversies. The most deplorable and fatal of these was pt between the Hon. David C. Broderick, United States nator from that State, and the Hon. David 8. Terry, # Justico of the Supreme Court. The mecting een them took place in the vicinity of San Fran- eo, on the morning of the 13th of September, ad resulted in the death of Senator Broderick, who h at the Orst fire, pierced through the lungs. He |gered for threo days, and died on the morning of the h. His adversary appears to have escaped without a fch. The excitement in San Francisco and throughout P State was intense, and the event cannot fail to awaken heh feeling in this city, of which Broderick was a ve, and for many years a resident. Disagreement in politics was at the bottom of this sad fair. Mr. Broderick was one of the few democratic nawors who, in 1868, attached themselves to the op- ion organized by Senator Douglas against the ad- nistration in regard to the admission of Kansas der the Lecompton coustitution. His position in matter was mot, it aecms, e him at home, and he scon found himself [Frayed against the democratic party of his State. In the ¢ exciting contest there for the election of State officers d members of Congress, he was the leader of the coali- nm (between the republicans and the anti-Lecompton mocrats) against the administration democracy, and in t character drew upon himself nich personal and po- cal malevolence. His principal cause of quarrel ap- red to be, however, with his colleague, Senator Gwin. jerywhere either of them appeared to make an election he was sure to indulge in the foulest aspersions hinst the integrity of the otber. At the opening of the mpaign Broderick made some explanations in regard to instrumentality in having Gwin elected to the Senate. ley were both elected by the Legislature of iifornia in January, 1857—Broderick for the long term, end in 1863; Gwin for the short term, to end in 1861. had been at the time publicly stated that thero was a disgracoful bargain in the matter, and that one of tho Aditions of Gwin’s election had been that he had agreed renounce, in favor of Broderick, all claim to the federal ‘onage. In fact this was nosocret. It was regularly derstood at tho time. But when Broderick came to shington and ranged himself in the ranks of the oppo. jon, it #oon becaime apparent that the influence he had h the administration was small indeed, while, on other hand, offices were given to Gwin’s friends and minees. This departure from the agreement entered © was accounted for by the latter in this way: He said inasmuch ag his colleague had no favors to expect, he win) had merely indicated the persons in State who were entitled to the favors the government. Broderick, however, regarded Gwin’s duct in regard to the federal patronage as at variance the understanding, and a consequent disagreemen hw up between the two Senators. This found its yent the various political meetings held in the State. The ithets bandied between them were neiher few nor joice. Broderick charged Gwin with bribery, fraud, hood, and almost every vice that disgraces human ture. He represented Gwin as his creature, and as ripping with corruption.” As to Gwin, we cull from his bech at Yreka, on the 23d of July, a few of the towers rhetoric with which he repelled his colleague’s accuss- ins:— s to Broderick’s remarks about the Senatorial election, by area tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. low the main portion of his statement about Latham to false.

An event occurred, however, which nged the identity of one-of the persons in the contro- sy, and substituted for Senator Gwin tho Chief Justice he Supreme Court, by whose hand Broderick was ed to full. it happened in this wise-—Judge David 8. Terry was le of those who, in the summer of 1856, had the misfor- ¢ to fall into the hands of the Vigilance Committee of in Francisco. He had rendered himself obnoxious to e Vigilanis by issuing @ proclamation against their high- nded proceedings, granting writs of habeas corpus for goners in their hands, and taking an active part the collection of arms wherewith to suppross the Vigi- fits by force. In resisting the arrest of one Maloney, on | fhe 23d June, 1856, he inflicted a gerious wound with a ife on the person of a preminent member named Hop- | fins, who was said to have been the executioner of Casey. Irry was seized and brought to the Vigilance headquar. } firs, where he was kept in close confinement till the 16th August following, having in the meantime undergone a otracted trial before the Executive Committee. Had | pking dicd, as it was first thought he would, Terry } hold have assuredly paid the forfoit of his lif; but tho fpund proved to be not very serious, and Terry was dis larged. At the last State Convention in California was ® candidate for re-clection, but failed to get the ' Bmination. He made aspeech at the Convention in which abused. Broderick in unmeasured terms. Broderick , Bhs ines d at-this, and in a conversation which he bad the breakfast table.of the International Hotel, in San Mancisco, in the hearing of Mr. Perley, who had been rry’s law partner, he remarked that it was « great pity fat the Vigilants had not hanged Terry when they had n in thoir handg, and that if he had received his do ts he would have been hanged. Perley said he would nmunicate Broderiek’s words to Terry. Brodcrick re. led that he expected as much. Perley then and there sumed the responsibility of resenting the insult to his end. Broderick repelad the idea of fghting Porley, 1 said that the presence of ladies alone prevented him ey inflicting punishment at the moment. A chailenge sued, and the following documents passed between tho irties :— PERUEY’S CHALLENGE. ! SAN FRANCIs60, June 27,1950, Now. D. C.

Penury, BQ.—Sir-—Your challenge of the with inst, was handed to me last evening by Mr. 8, I.

Tho servant re- turned with a note purporting to bo signed by Mr. Brooks, informing me that Gen, E. J. ©, Kewon bad arrived, and desiring me to address any answer I designed to your challenge to Gen. Kewen instead of to Mr. Brooks. This mode of procedure was eo unprecedented that I had no recourse but to decline the recognition of any note coming under the circumstances by the band of a servant, Sub- sequently Mr. Brooks and Gen. Kewen called on ma ia person At this interview the error comusitted jn gonding by & servant wes corrected. Two days have elapsed gince the alleged insult was given. If Thad been inclined to recognize your right to demand satisfaction, you have placed it out of my power to do 60. by the publi- alee have given to the matter, n ufivirs of this Kind are to be arranged, it is custo- mary to keep them a secret even from intimate friends. ‘While I have refrained from making mention of the af- fair, I find it to be the subject of uewspaper comment and the theme of p-blic conversation. You knew, at the time you were searching for a gentlo- map to bear the challenge, that it would not be accepted. informed you of the fact at the time the alleged insult was offered, in the presence of two gentlemen, and in lan- guage that could not be misinterpreied. Your own seuso of propriety should haye taught you that the positions we relatively occupy are so different as to forbid my acceptance of your challenge. It is but a few days since you made oath that you were a subject of itain, “The giving or accepting a challeuge could not, therefore, affect your political rights, a8 you are not a citizen of the United States. For many years, and up to the time of my elevation to the position I now oc.upy, it was well known that I would not have wy oided any issue of the character proposed. If oo to accept a challenge, it could only be with a geutieman holding a position equaily elevated and respon- sible, and there are no circumstances which could induce me even to do this during the pendency of the present canvass. When I authorized the aunouncement that I would address the people of California during the cam- paign, it was suggested that efforts would be masle to force me into difficulties, and I determined to take no notice of cks from any’ source during the canvass. If 1 were vept your challenge, there are probably many other geutlewen who would seck similar opportunities for hos- tle meetings, for the purpose of acco:aplishing a political object, or to Obtain public notoriety. [ cannot afford at the pregent time to descend to violation of the constitu- ti nd the State laws to subserve cither their or your pur) \o8e8. our efforts to give publicity to the fact that it was your intention to send me a challenge would justify me in giv- ing a copy of this reply to the public. Circumstances will determine my course in this regard. D. C. BRODERICK. MANIFESTO FROM KEWEN. San Franeisco, Cul., June 29, 1859. Hoy. J. C. McKrupen:—Sin—The letter addressed by the Hon. D. C. Broderick to Mr. D. W. Perley, through you, to myself, as the friend of the respective purties, in res- ponse to the demand for satisfaction on the part of Mr. Perley, is of a character wholly inconsistent with the ex- pectations of the last named gentleman. Deeming him- self to have been grogsly and wilfully insulted, under cir- cumstances where immediate resentment would have sub- jected him to the censure and obloquy of honorable men, he had no recourse but to demand that Mr. Broderick should repair, in the manner recognized among gentie- men, the injury complained of. The response of Mr. Broderick has disappointed the reasonable conviction that he would haye explained away the unhappy differences which exist, or that he would have met the consequences in the manner indicated by Mr. Perley’s note. Tn relation to the substitution of myself for Mr. Brooks, as the friend of Bir. Perley, I regret that Mr. Broderiva has thought proper to make the circumstances of that sub- stitution the subject of comment. At the time Mr. Brooks waited upon Mr. Broderick, it was suggested by the former that the delay on the part of bir. Perley was owing to the absence of a friend in Sacramento who was expected by the evening boat. Almost immediately after the arrival of the Sacramento steamer, Mr. Brooks, in your presence, inquired of a friend of Mr. Broderick if he was in his apartments and could be seen, when an answer was re- turned that bis room was dark, and the probability was that be was out, or had retired for the night. At an carly hour in the morning Mr. Brooks and myself called at the Union Hotel for the purpose of waiting on Mr. Broderick and informing him that it was the desire of Mr. Perley that I should be substituted as his friend in the place of Mr. Brooks. The servant of whom inquiry was made, returned with an answer that Mr. Broderick had not arisen. Inasmuch as an early hour had been agreed upon for the reception of Mr. Broderick’s response, Mr. Brooks deemed it advisable, without disturbing the repose of Mr. Broderick, to acquaint him with the fact of my arrival, as the friend of Mr. Perley, and to request that his commu- nication be addressed through me. This was accordingly done, in a note which he despatched through the servant, ‘a8 stated; and as it was simply to impart information of a fact already indicated, and having no relevancy to the issue involved farther than notice of a substitution of names, it was not considered by Mr. Brooks as an unpardonable breach of courtesy or ctiquetie. When, however, you suggested, on the part of Mr. Broderick, that you were unwilling to recognise the substitution in that shape, I readily appreciated your objection, and accompanied Mr. Brooks for the purpose of remedying, ta person, the cir- cumstances which Mr. Broderick gravely alleges to have been an error. The explanation having been deemed eatis- factory and the substitute accepted, I must contess that I was not a little surprised at the display which so trivial an inadvertence should have occasioned. The principal ground of complaint, however, on the part of Mr. Perley is, that Sir. Broderick should refuse to accord to him or his friends the opportunity or privilege of redressing a wanton injury. He is unable to recognise the principle that the fact of foreign birth should sabject him to wilful insult and deprive him of the ordinar Means of redress. He can recognise no distinction of offi- cia! position or otherwise, which enables one man with impunity to trample upon the feelings or outrage the sen- sibilities of another. It is not every one pot whom for- tune bestows the elevated position of Mr. Brodorick, and not to be a Senator is no crime which imposes the aliena- tion of the ordinary rights of man. It is not alleged that Mr. Perley is not a gentleman; and even if the response of Mr. Broderick had gone to thatextent, his friend is relieved fron: prosecuting the demand by the expressed determination of Mr. Broderick not to encounter a foeman less dignified or respousible in official position than him- self. ‘This positive declaration disarms resentment, and leaves Mr. Perley no alternative but to anticipate the sug- gestion of Mr. Broderick, and allow a candid public to de- termine the merits of this unexpected controversy. ‘The circumstances of the publicity of this affair, dwelt upon by Mr. Broderick, Mr. Perley protests most respect- fully against being responsible for. The occasion of the unpleasant difference originated in a public place, and in the presence of a number of spectators, and it is not sur- prising tbat the insult offered to Mr. Perley and its atten- dant circumstances should bave occasioned ‘k; and tho elevated position of one of the parties quificient of itself to ingure, as Mr. Perley believes, the publicity of his wrong and the duty imposed upon him by reason of its infliction. I now take leave of ray connection with this matter, and beg permission to subscribe myself, respectfully, your humble and obedient servant, BE. J.C. KEWEN, Accompanying the publication of these documents in one of the San Francisco papers appeared the following card from the challenger:— A CARD TO THE PUBLIC. It is already well known that on Monday morning last, at the breakfast table of the International Hotel, and in the presence of ladies, without the slightest excuso or provocation of any kind, 1 was insulted in the groesest manner by Hon. D.C. Broderick. The time and place prevented me from immediately resenting it, as I other- wise would have done, As soon as I could procure a suitable friend to carry him a message, I demanded satis- faction for the insult. The correspondence herewith published will show on what grounds Mr. Broderick attempts to shield himself from personal responsibility for the outrage he has com- mitted. I have no hesitation in denouncing his letter de- clining to give me the required satisfaction as a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end, and as a moan, quib- ‘ling and dastardly evasion of the wholo difficulty in which bis misconduct had placed him. Ihave never been either a political or personal enemy of Mr. Broderick. Iam not interested in the success of any ticket. Idid not commence an attack on him. Tho difficulty was purely and absointely of his own creation. I presume he thoughthe could browbeat, insult aud bully me, a8 he has done other men, with impunity. In this ho found himself mistaken. On being called to account for his gross ingolence he refuses either to fight or to apologise, and shelters himself behind the Sonatorial honors which he did not fairly win, but basely stole, through a long systematic course of fraud, bribery and corruption. It only remains for me to say that I consider Mr. Brode- rick as devoid of courage ashe is of principle, and that he has no longer any right to call himself a genlioman. D. W. PERLEY. It will be seen from Broderick’s letter that he intimates susnicions as to the existence of a conspiracy to got rid of him, by forcing him info a personal difficulty. «He proba- bly belicved so, and Dis death, undor tie circumstances, will afford grounds for the public to bélieve so'too. But he had resolved, as it appears, not to suffer himself to be drawn into any fight until after the election, and he an- nounced from the stamp that such was bis determination. The election took place on the 7th of September, and on the next day but one Judge Terry came to demand satisfaction for the insulting language applied to him by Broderick at ‘the brenkfast table of the’ International Hotel. "The chal- lenge was delivered by Mr. Cathoun Benham, who had also taken an active part against Broderick in the canvass, and it was accepted, The conditions agreed on wore, that no person except the principals, Beconds and surgeons wero to know of tho time or place of the duel, Broderick and Terry immediately left tho city, a fact which soon became wide- ly known and caused the greatest excitement. Expecta tion was on tiptoe, and the sole topic of conversation was concerning the contemplated fight. It seoma that a cor- respondence was opened with the view of settling the difficulty. The report is that Broderick was ready to give Satisfaction by stating that, although he used tho language complained of on the spur of the moment and in the beat of persona! debate, such were not the “feelings of hw heart. It woald bo difficult to imagine what more ample apology could have been ten- dered; but still, as if nothing less than Broderick’s life would satisfy his adversary, the apology was not accepted, and a mecting was agreed on to take place at five o'clock on the morning of the 12th ult., the weapons to bo six-shooters. At the appointed time that morning the Parties were on the field in presonce of abont two hundred spectators and several police oftives The spot selected, near the Lake House, boyond the Mis- sion, and in San Francisco county, did not turn out satisfactory to tho seconds, either in consequence of the nature of the ground or tho presence of the police officers, who expressed their determination to prevent the duel taking place. Two other places wero examined, when, at length, the party crossed the line into San Mateo county, and at a little after seven o’cleck that morning fixed on the spot and commenced measuring the ground. The principais, with their seconds, in a few minutes took their appointed places. At this mo- ment the Chief of Police and three officers interfered, One of their number went up to Broderick and presented @ warrant for bis arrest, while another approached Terry. They denied the authority of the officers to arrest,'as they were eut of the limits of San Francisco; but it seems that the warrant was endorsed by a San Mateo magistrate. After cousiderable time spent in deliberation thoy sur- rendered themselyes and were liberated on parole. Messrs. Broderick and Torry then agreed to appear be- fore the ‘lice Court at two o'clock on Monday afternoon, the 12th ult., the day before the duel. The partics met next morning, the 13th, in the vicinity of San Francisco, where there were no police officers or others to interfere. Terry was seconded by Messrs. Cal- houn Benham and Thomas Hayes. The latter had been County Clerk, and had also fallen, like his principal, undor the displeasure of the Vigilance Committee. Broderick was seconded by the Hon. Joseph McKibben, member of Congress trom California, and by another gentleman, who is said to have been either Ex-Sheriff Colton, of Yreka, or Mr. John A. Monroe, of San Francisco. At the first flre Broderick fell, mortally wounded through the lungs, and died, as we have said, on the morning of the léth. Judge Terry escaped unhurt., Senator Broderick and Judge Terry both owed their positions in the community rather to their political man- agement of caucuses and primary elections than to any peculiar merit in themselves or fitness for their high Offices, Brodorick, whose mother still resides in the Eighth ward of this city, was a native of New York, and was at one time foreman of Engine Company No. 34. When the gold discoveries in California became known in tho East- ern States, and produced snch an immense emigration to the Pacific, he set out for that region, and was among the earliest of the adventurers there. From his familiarity with the science of political manzuyring, he soon became prominent in public life, and was, in 1857, elected by the Legislature of California the Senate of the United States. In that position he conducted himself honorably and high- mindedly, and showed a dogree of ability that was hardly tw be expected from his antecedents. Judge Terry was also early in public life. A native of one of the Southern States, and left an orphan at an early age, he went to Texas and took part in the struggle for xan independence. After his return he devoted him- velf to the study of the law, was admitted to tho bar, went to California with the earliest emigration there, and ‘was elected Justice of the Supreme Court when he was but thirty-three years of age. Like Broderick, he was a man of great resoluteness and determination. While he was in the hands of the Vigilance Committee, and while his life was in imminent danger, he was of- fered a discharge if he would consent to resign his position. His wife urged him to do so, but he refused, and issued au address to the people of the State, in which he expressed his determination that he would not leave the prison alive in any other position than as Judge of the Supreme Court. He war reputed to bo a dead shot, and there was some surprise felt when the firet erroncous news of the duel represented him as having been wounded by Broderick. This is the second Congressman from California that has bad his term cut short by duelling. The other was tho Hon. Ndward Gilbert, who was one of the first two mem- bers elected from that State. The Hon. Joseph McKibben, a member of the last House, also got into a personal diffi- culty during the canvass, which led to a hostile correspon. dence, and ended im an apology; and Herbert, a member of the previous Congress, came near being banged for the murder of a waiter at Willard’s Hotel in Washington. So much for the perils of politics and for the character of the public men of the Golden State. THE LATEST. Sr. Louis, Oct. 9, 1859. The overland mail of the 16th reached this city last night. Some of the San Francisco papers evince a disposition to made it appear that Mr. Broderick was the victim of a conspiracy, but the most prominent ones assert that the duel was conducted in strict accordance with the code dudllo. Broderick’s pistol went off before raised into line with his antagonist. Terry’s shot took effect twofuches from the right nipple, carrying away part of the breast bone. Mr. Broderick suffered intense agony from the time he was shot till he died. When the mail left, two hours after his death, it had been announced that all the flags in the city yroald bo displayed at half-mast, and emblems of mourning were begining to appcar in all parts of the city. San Francisco, Sept. 20, | Via Sovrawsst Pass, Oct. 7, 1859. 5 A-duel was fought about twelve miles from this city on “quceday, 18th inst., between Hon. David C. Broderick, United States Senator, and Hon. David 8S. Terry, Judge of the Supreme Court. On the first fire Mr. Broderick fell mortally wounded, the ball entering the right breast, pas- sing through the lungs and lodging in the arm pit. Ho died on Friday morning ai 9:20, and was buried on Sunday the 18th. The funcral cortege was the largest ever witnessed in this State. Judge Terry bad been arrested. The public were much incensed at the killing of Bro- derick. His funcral was the most imposing ever witnessed in San Francisco. Police Intelligence. Daring Hicnway Rorpgry.—John Wagomus, a Gorman, living at No. 21 Baxter street, appeared before Justice Connolly at the Lower Police Court yesterday, and pre- ferred a charge of highway robbery’ against John Shea and Michael Duffy. The complainant alleges that while he was partially intoxicated he was seized by Shea and held fast while Duffy proceeded to rifle his pockets. Find- ing some difliculty in getting his hand into the vest pocket of compiainant, Duffy produced a knife with the intention of cutting off the pocket, and while engaged in so doing cut the complainant’s hgnd severely. After robbing their victim of some small change, the highwaymen fled, but were soon afterwards arrosted by policeman Muldoon, of the Sixth precinct, and brought to the Tombs. Shea ad- mitted his guilt, but Dufly denied the soft impeachment, and said he kuew nothing at all abont the affuir. The magistrate committed the accused for trial in default of dail.

The various journals of the metropolis content them- selves with a slight “whimper” in relation to the circular of the Minister of the Interior concerning the preaw. It is really nothing more ; for France is considerably altered in public spirit since the days when she rose en masseto overthrow the government of Charles X., whose offences in regard to the pregs were very venial indeed compared with what bas since occurred. Anything deserving the name of protest was not to be expected, and the fawning, flattering, glozing servility with which objections aro hinted, shows prety plainly what Frenchmen with all their boasts, all their vain-gloriousness, all their pretensions to march at the head of civilization, may be reduced to, when a strong man armeth himself and keepeth the way. ‘A general disposition is manifested, as I predicted, to make the most of the English troubles in China, with a view of magnifying the importance of French assistance, and at the came tine of inducing the belief of a growing accord between the English and Frenoh governments on matters nearer home. unlikely to terminate, as former co-operations have done, iu heart-burning and distrust. a However, as France is to send 12,000 men, commanded by General Wimp/fen, now in command of a division of the army of Lyons, it seems a favorable opportunity for endeavoring to make matters comfortable about Italy. 1s it really jmpossible to crack the nut which holds the ker- nel of the question? What if Victor Emanuel was totally ignored both by Austria and France, and a third party introduced satisfactory to all? It is clear that France had no designs of her own when she entered upon the war. This she has proved by her abnegation in concluding a victorious campaign withut a single stipulation on her own account. But what if difflculties cannot be severed except by her departure from the réle she has been so willing tocnact? What if a future European war may be obviated by # renunciation of this self-abnegation? France marches at the head of civilization, and is capable of expos- ing herself in aid of such civilization to any amount of mis- construction, kuowing the magnanimity of her own heart. If, then, Austria is determined never to listen to the pro posed scheme of annexing the Duchics to the crown of her bitterest and most detested enemy, but is willing to see the Grand Duke give place.toa Prince of the House of Bonaparte, why should not England, now in alliance wit! France in the waters of the Peiho, be in similar fraternity with her on those of the Po? It required no extraordinary political sagacity to pro- dict what would follow the moment the news of Admiral Hope’s disaster reached Europe, and I ventured to point out in a recent letter the probable course of matters here. Indeed, the prospects of Prince Napoleon have been of late discussed with more than usual ardor, and many who at first scouted the idea altogether, openly express their belief in its feasibility. Prince Napoleon's immedi- ate friends, who at first disdained the imputations of all Italian pretensions, have now suddenly changed their tone, and are found in all societics frankly declaring their belief that in the Prince’s person exists the only solution of the difficulty of Central Italy. ‘The Prince, of course, acts like an embryo President of the United States, and seoms thoroughly unconscious of his own importance. If he gave an opinion at all, it would be that he might be left unmolested in the bower of roses Sardinia’s fair daughter has made for him—free to follow the sweet pursuits of private life, to which his tastes so eminently incline him, ‘and to offer up his prayers to that glorious Italy whose interests have never ceased to be the object of his solici- tude. But, &e. Prince Napoleon and Princess Clotilde have arrived at Geneva, and intend to spend several days in that city. Count Walewaki, with the Prince Richard de Metternich and Count and Countess Montebello, are at Biarritz. The following calculation has been made respecting the cost of the war in Italy, both to the nations which took part in it and those which were likely to be drawn into it Austria has spent five hundred millions francs, taking only the two leans obtained from the bank and the forced loan imposed on Venetia, and leaviag aside the loan which ehe attempted to make at the beginning of the year in England. France contracted a loan of five hundred mil- lions of francs, and admitting that the whole of it has not been disbursed, a sum of at least four hundred millions must be set down to the war. Piedmont contracted a loan of fifty millions of francs; she borrowed thirty-three millions from tho Bank of Turin, and it is said she received advances from the French government. In esitmating, then, her disbursement at One hundred millions, the limits of truth, probably, are observed. The other States of Italy have made loans which may be estimated at twenty millions of francs. AS to England, the Parliament allowed a sum of two hundred and fifty millions of francs for warlike preparations. Part of the sum was only disbursed during the war, but the rest has since been spent. The different States of Ger- many obtained two hundred millions in loans, on account of the war, but they have not, it is true, spent the whole sum. As to Russia, precise details aro wanting, but her outlay may be set down at thirty millions of francs. Thus the total cost of the war may be calculated at upwards of fifteen hundred millions of francs, or three bundred mil- Kong of dollars. ‘A little child belonging to M. Hua, ono of the Judges of the Imperial Court, was on Friday last stolen from its nurse by a person habited in the garb of a lady, who, pretending to be the aunt of the child, contrived to pro- cure the temporary absence of the nurse and then made off with it. M. Hua, in perfect consternation at what had occurred, with his wife in danger of losing her rea- fon, at-once offered 10,000 francs for its restoration. ‘The Dreat the following day contained this announcement:— “M.

When this match was first brought on the “carpet? the general opinion amoug spordng men was that Brettle, wlthovgh undonbt &@ good man, had in this instance overstepped the line’ of prudence, ana that he had onl) one result to a ate—defeat. The Brum 5 however, held q @ contrary opinien to the Londen “ialepts. They numitted that Sayers bad alll the advan- inge that could be derived from name and position, but dwelt op the little difference there would upon the day be in the weight of the men; and also how very litle advan- tage form would possess over his opponent in it therefore. when such tempting odds were offered as to £200 they did pot see why the star of the hardware village should not have a chance of throwing ‘a fine os ae even though opposed to the “champion of Eng- jand.’? ‘The men went into active training. Brettle took his ““breathings” in the neighborhood of Ashburne, Derby- shire, having for his attendant Jem Hodgkiss, of Birming- ham, and Bub Travers the black; while the took bis gallops at Newmarket and elsewhere, under the guidance and companionship of Harry Brunton, of the George and Dragon, Beech street, Barbican. Sayers was 10 st. 10 lbs, and all muscle; he was from top to toe the very perfection of condition, without an ounce of superfiuous flesh. Brettle, as regards condition, was algo all that his friends could desire, ani kicked the beam at 10 st. 6 lbs. Such, however, is thoextraordinary developement of the champion’s frame that when out of their “toge”” he looked a stone and a baif bigger man.

Sayers, who won the toss for corners, had for his seconds Macdonsid and Bruuton, while Hodgkiss and Keene waited upon the Brum, the friends of Sayres laying the odds of 3 to 1 with freedom. At five minutes past eleven o’clock the men were left to begin the contest. On putting themselves in attitade the countenance of each man was illumined with a good- tempered stnile After a display of some Fee reper in which Brettle manwuyred to keep away from his man, having iaid 200 to 20 that hé was uot defeated within ten minutes, Savers got home on the ivories with his left, and thercby decided the first of three events; Brettle on the termination of the bout, afier being hit peri, oe down and falling forward on hishands. This was ¢l asa knockdown blow, but was not allowed. Tn the second round the combatants displayed considera- bie skill; Brettle, who kept away from his antagonist dodging all over the ring. At leugth both men countered heavily, when Sayers, in getting away, went down. Many Wanted to claim this as a knock-dowu blow for Brettle, but the referee would not allow it. Before the termination of the third round, the “Brum/’? had won his big bet as regards time, and in the fourth, Brettle, in the counter-bitting, succeeded in flooring his man with a heavy bit from the right. ‘The match now procceded with the utmost spirit up to. the seventh round, when Brettle, who had previously in- jured his left hand, attempted to deliver a heavy bit, but ‘being at long range be overstepped himself, and in hitting twisted his arm round on Sayers’ shoulder, where the blow alighted. On the instant it became apparent that there was something wrong, for Bob immediately re- treated to his own corner, followed by his opponent. Brettle made an attempt to renew the battle, but his seconds, finding it would be useless, at once interfered, and got before their man, when the sponge was thrown up in token of defeat, and the “champion” once more hailed victorious, having from the above accident van- hed his opponent in fifteen minutes. He left the ring without any perceptible marks, On examination it was found that Brettle had had the misfortune to dislocate his shoulder, and had it not been for this mishap his friends imagine that he might have stood no bad chance. (From the London Times, Sept. 22. A fight for £400 to £200 took place on nani. in a field 4 few miles from Tunbridge, between Sayers, the cham- picn of England, and Brettle, of Birmingham.’ It excited much interest, and a large number of persons were present. Sayers was seconded by Macdonald and Brunton, and Hodgkies and Keene acted for Brettle. Only six rounds were fought, and the contest terminated in a quarier of an hour in favor of Sayers. At the commencement of the fight the first blood was drawn by Sayers. Tn the second round, however, Brettle appeared to have the advantage, and there were cries of “the first knock down blow,” Dut it was not allowed. In the fourth round, however, Brettle gave Sayers such @ tremendous hit that he fell, and it was then admit- ae that the Birmingham man had knocked his adversary own. Brettle in the fifth round had @ fall which dislocated his shoulder, and this accident virtually terminated the fight Brettle, however, stood up for acixth round, but he was #0 powerless from the injury to his shoulder that his blows Produced no effect upon Sayers. Sayers then struck Brettie a tremendous right-handed hit upon his left ehoulder, and he foll suddenly with great force. His backers and the surgeon then decided that Brettle was no longer able to coriunue the fight, and Sayers was therefore the winner in fiileen minutes only. Both the men had been well trained and were in exvel- lent condition. {From the Brighton Guardian, Sept. 22.)
