Tom Sayers has remained all along at Newmarket un- molested, and we are informed bas left no stone unturned ed, with a view, I think, to put the policemen off the scent, that the “mill” will come off at a great distance from London. It is my opinion, however, that it will be very near here,and that it will take place in private grounde, where the interference of the police need not be feared. It ‘ said, in fact, that two or three nobiemen have offered the use of their parks. ‘The latest acoounts from Sayers and Heenan represent them both to be in fino condition, and both end dent of success.

According to the rules of the English ring, the giving bim the finishing holder cf the champion’s belt is required to fight any man’ of whatever weight, size or country, for three years after it comes inte his possession, a period of six months being allowed to elapse between the fights. At the end of three years the belt belongs tothe champion.

Should Heenan win the belt, I should think he would be in s worse condition even than the man who won the elephant in the rafile, for he will be 80 beset with challenges that he will certainly have to fight for it every six months for the three years to come. If tickets are sold to all who wish to buy them, the men will make no inconsiderable sum from this source: The tickets are put at £3 86.—about fifteen dollars and a half a-piece—and this is ‘> be divided between the rail- ‘way company who furmsh the train and the mea them” selves. Probably not lees than three thousand tickets will be sold, and this will give Heenan and Sayers each as their share about twelve thousand dollars.

Could anyi ‘be more have beem flocking here from all parts of the kingdom, ipyauerunepice: and ove of the sporting papers winds up aa article on the subject by saying ‘we may confidently anticipate that the fight will be witnessed by such am aggembly of the high and noble of the land as never before congregated round a roped arens.’’ Morrissey, who has been to Newmarket, posting Sayers up as to Heenan’s mode of fighting, has returned to Lon- don, and will remain here up to the eve of the encounter. T shall send you by the Vanderbilt, which sails on Wed- nesday, @full account of the affair, if it takes place, for I am not go sure yet but that the police will succeed in pre- venting it. In several counties warrants have been ob- tained to prevent the fight from coming off in them, and the police are on the alert at all the railway stations, where a strict watch is kept night and day. Pugilism was formerly considered a very unpoetic gort of a profession, but the projected contest for the champi- onship has brought out no small amount of poetic genius.

So far as this countey is concerned, it is not likely that we can be affected very materially.

We hear, however, of transac” tions in four months paper at 5}, and on call money is as abundant as ever at 5.

At these rates the demand is light. A fresh supply of mercantile bills will now probably come forward from the South, where the banks have been hoarding their exchange; and as soon as the canal is fairly open there will be a fair supply of produce bills made here. The newsfrom England will lead to heavy shipments of corn, and some consignments of wheat also. At the current rates for bills, specie can be shipped to cover, and accordingly, from $600,000 to $700,000 will be sent forward to-morrow in the Arago and Vigo. This amount may be increased if the bars per Northern Light can be got ready in time. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Frupay, April 27—6 P. M. The financial news from England by the Africa is not eslculated to clear up the doubt and uncer- tainty created by the previous intelligence. The Bank of England had again lost money, the bullion having decreased £246,495, while the notes issued had increased £1,621,665. The demand for money is quoted as less pressing than it had been, and the funds are a shade higher; but at Liverpool cotton had fluctuated as much as 13d. in 48 hours, and some failures were spoken of. A very strange story is told in the London Zimes of the 14th, as follows:— Within theee few hours report has become current, which, but for the otherwise inexplicable character of what is going on, would seem altogether incredible. The poli are aware that since the experience of 1867 the ik bave resolved to lend no encouragement to the vi- cious practice of rediscounting, apd that, while r4 their doors to the commercia! comfnunity, they have for ‘that reagon excluded the discount brokers. On the in- herent soundness of this policy there can be f0 dispute, and the leading members of the mercantile world have regarded it with strong approval. It is now asserted, however, that in their dissatisfaction at its operation the discount firms have resolved to draw from the bank as Many notes as possible, to Icck these motes up, and thus to create a eense of scarcity and en incon- venient advance in the bank terms that shall iaduoe all business mea to belicve that they are suffering through the inability of the diecount houses to help them, and that this inability is caused by the exclusion of those houses from the bank. An operation of this kind would be at once 80 ridiculous and so censurabio that every conside- rate person will refuse credence to it, unless uon the au. thority of the discount houses themselves In teed, but for the circumstances that the report this evening is in universal circulation, that the alleged particulars are fally stated in commercial circulars, and that some indivi duals even affirm that the parties in question virtually admit its correctness, any notice of it would seem im- Proper, and, even as matters stand, the reference to it aust merely be for the sike of enabling au unequi contradiction to be obtained witbout aelny. ere The same writer, in his correspondence toon evening paper in this city, alluding to the subject more at length, says: — Im the panic of 1857, it was found that the discount houses, and eg; Messrs.
