THE PRIZE RING. ‘Whe Prise Fight Between Jem Kelly, the Australian Champlton, and Dam Kerri- 68m, of New York, for One Thousand Dollars a Side—Kerrigan the Victor— The Battle Decided by a Foul Blow— Wall Report of the Fight—The Previous Deeds of the Men in the Prize Ring— @ther Prize Fights in Prospect, &c. ‘The match between James Kelly, the Australian cham- pion, and Dan Kerrigan, of this city, which has for the West few weeks created great exeitement ia the sporting Sircles of this and other cities, was brought to a concla- sion on Tuesday morning, tho 2lsi inet., by the meeting ‘ef the fistic champions in the roped arena, The fight, ag wil be seen below, terminated in favor of Kerrigan, ‘owing to his opponent having struck him while on bis knees on the ground, and thus causing the battle to be de- @ided by a foul blow. The stakes were one thousand doRars a side, and every dollar of Kelly’ battle money was furniabed by himeelf, as he would not allow any of hie friends to join him, preferring to risk bis own money ratber than hazard theirs on the result. As @ brief sketch of the previous doings of these aspirants for pugi- Metic honors may not be uninteresting, we give it, com. mencing with the career of the victor in the fight. Dan Kerrigan, like a large majority of the principal pugiliets of the present day, is of Milesian parentage, baving been born in the city of Cork (now called Queens- town), Ireland, inthe year 1835, aad be is consequently now in his twenty fifth year. He came to this country Wile quite young, and took to a seafaring life. His firet mppearance in the prize ring was about seven years ago, when he fought Pete O'Donnell, on Ward’s Island, for a mall purse of money, subscribed’by a few sporting men, ‘who fancied they saw in him the necessary qualities for a finished pugilist. He did not disappoint their expecta- tions, as he defeated his opponent in a few rounds. Un- M&ke many of the pugilistic fraternity, Dan dislikes a life of idlenees, and as he could not get on a second match as quickly as be wished, he again resumed his profession Defore the mast. In the winter of 1856, being in New Orkeans, where his reputation asa boxer bad preceded him, be was matched with a clever pugilist of that city, mamed Jack Maclachian. This was a well contested afair, but eventually the sturdy gameness and ekill of Kerrigan secured him the Victory, after | Sghting owo boars and forty-five minutes, foll wing win- the same place, he bad an impromptu afair wun the well known *rainer, Hen Winkle, of this city, and here again he won in the short space of three rounds. His last fight, previous to the present, was with Joe Jones, of Boston, 'a much bigger and heavier man ‘than himself, but possessing no experience of ring tactics, for a ‘This fight took place at Manchester, New the spring of 1859, and was won by Kerri- gan in fifly five minutes, puvishing his adversary peverely, but escaping almost unscathed himvelf The present is consequently his fourth fight and victory, not yet having sustained » defeat. James Kelly, ike his opponent, oe Trish gag yg reater pars of his youth wae spent jo the fland fo his early pugilistic encounters, Ay ise 3 rh sums, he met with varied success, sometimes winnicg and occasionally having to succumb to superior abilities. The fight upoa which his great tation as a pugilist rested was with Jonathan Sneeth, ww generally regarded as the champion of the prize ring in Australia. This man possessed immense advan- tages both in height, weight and ring experience over Kelley; bus as had shown bimself a boxer among the gold miners of Ballarat, Ee friends did not hesitate to match him agaist ‘the champion for $1,000 aside. They fought at Fiery eveek, pear Melbourne, and after the longest battle in the rd ‘of the ring, lasting six hours and tifveen minutes, yh struck his colore, and his opponent was dec! ‘he victor. Shortly afterwards be wok up his residence in this cily, with @ resolutien to retire from the P. R. Tast year, however, he was induced to make a match with Pa. Price, of Boston, for $1,000 a side, and on the th October, in Canada, he was beaten by the Bostonian in 30 minutes and 13 ‘rounds. His friends were com- pletely thunderstruck at this unexpected termination, which they attributed to want of pluck and ignorance of ‘the pugilistic art. That they were totally wrong in this assumption, the present Oght has clearly and satisfactorily proved, for he showed a degree of gameness and science which the epectators were Lot prepared to ex} ‘The present match originated ou, of a hos moal issued by Kerrigan to Kelly to ight him ‘at catch weight—that 4a, neither of them to be copfived to a specified weight. Kelly, who was desirous of effacing the stains Fang i his character as a pugiliat, in consequence of hia defeat by Price, promptly accepted the offer, and articles were drawn Gp avd signed. Both men went into active training for the content, Kelly in his own locality of Weehawken, N the watchful care of the experienced a clover trainer.

Leaving Boston at seven o'clock A. M., the place in qfeation was reaclied about nine o'clock P. M. The only ‘two hotels in the place, which is @ favorite summer resort for the Canadians,were quickly filled by the visiters tothe fight, and we most in justice state that the proprietors of the hotels deciarod they never witnessed a quieter or bet ter conducted large number of visiters, and that every man pid his bill with the greatest promptness. This lat ter is a feature by no means characteristic rf a portion of the fraternity. By tv ock next morning a general exodus to place of fighting was visible. Every de scription of wagon, carriage, cart or trap being proseed into the service. The spot was three miles from the vi lage, in the centre of a vast amphitheatre, and eacom passed on every side by lofty meuntaiag, clothed in their ‘Verdure of green to the very summit. 1 love a beautiful and sublime ecene.

He was accompanied by bis Seconds, Harry Finegars, of Boston, and Hea Wiakle, bis trainer.’ He was received with cheers.

Kel ly returned on the side of the face, and some brisk hitting was exchanged. Dan at last suddenly dropped on his knees, and whilst in that position was hit by Kelly on the mouth. Dan’s seconds at once appealed, and both um- pires agreed that it was ‘‘a foul blow.’ The referee was obliged, therefore, to award the battle to Kerrigan in consequence. The result was not satisfactory, as it was clear the fight was not decided on thé merits of the men. Kerrigan's resorting to the dropping syetem was unworthy of a fair, honorable fighter, for we think that he could have won the fight without adopting euch a reprebensibie course of fighting. The fight lasted forty-five minutes. tages wus conducted in the most orderly and quiet manner, all passed off pleasantly. Personal Intelligence.

The improvement consists in combining greater strevgth than the first pattern; it is also of a more popu- lar shape than the envelopes to which the government stamp bas heretofore been attached; but the novel and attractive feature of the preseat issue is the new stamp.

Wepwxspay, August 22—6 P. M. In some places money is reported easier to-day, thongh at six per cent the demand among the brokers is quite active. Several banks have call- ed in their demand loans, and the general aspect of the market encourages lenders to hope for higher rates in the ensuing month, On the other hand produce is coming forward from the West very freely, and the amount of foreign exchange which is supplied by our shipments of breadstuify is considerably in excess of the average. A six or seven per cent money market is to be expected during the fall months; it is not easy to reconcile the prospect of higher rates than these with the conservative position of the mercantile communi- ty, and the small inquiry for money from the rail- road and other great moneyed corporations. There is nothing doing in foreign exchange to- day; the prospect is that the market will open without change for the steamers of Saturday. The steamer from Boston to-day took out $150,000 in specie. Eastern exchange in the West is falling in consequence of the heavy shipments of breadstuffs; m Chicago the rate quoted is } per cent premium. The West has not begun to receive amy gooda yet from the East. The stock market opened this morning, as it closed yesterday, dull and heavy. At the close of the first session, however, there was a rally, and prices improved; in the afternoon the market was stronger, most descriptions advanced, and closed quite steady. New York Central was sold down to 833 on the strength of the accident from the freshet: it closed 844 bid, against 84 at the close yester- day. In peint of fact, the freshet has probably done mischief enough to the canal to throw upon the rail- road more business than it can do, Erie was steady; the advices from Europe encourage the holders of and speculators in this stock. The West- ern shares were all lower at the morning board. Rock Island fell off 4, Galena 4, Toledo j, Minois Central }, Michigan Southern }. In the afternoon they rallied to yesterday’s prices. The large in- crease in the traffic on these roads is wholly due to the movement of grain eastward; the passenger business has not yet begun to increase, and there isno movement of goods westward as yet. On Monday, 20th, 328 loaded cars arrived in Chicago over the Illinois Central, carrying 92,150 bushels grain and 500 bbls. flour. The superintendent of the Illinois Central writes:—‘This is the largest day’s business of the Ilinois Central in grain in this or any past year.” The Michigan shares were inactive; at the first Board, in the af- ternoon, Michigan Central touched 70. Hudson, Harlem and Reading were dull. We note a small sale of Toledo and Wabash stock at $10, an ad- vance of 1}; the traffic on the road is increasing largely. In Pacific Mail and Panama very little was done; Panama is j higher. State stocks were steady; Erie bonds were wanted at full rates.

The down freight daily averages one hundred car loads, and the up freight sixty, live stock in- cinded, On Saturday the first batch of four bandred tous of freight came up from New York, whence it had been shipped direct for Santa Fe. We believe this is the first shipment made from New York direct to Santa Fe. Here- tofore the Santa Fe trade, or, at least, the bulk of it, has centred at at 1 ne but it is probable that it wil sew be directed to new channel, and aud business of the Hudson River Road. be sad The Boston Post, in its weekly financial review, sa} Saturday there seemed to be quite a scarcity of money among the brokers; and speaking generally, the demand for credit is —, on the increase, although yet very limited. New York funds are rot im 3 supply, and there is no accumulation on the street.
