KING THE VICTOR, » AFTER FIGHTING 25 ROUNDS IN THIRTY-ONE MINUTES. Two Accounts of the Affair---One Crom Bell’s Life, the Other from the IMustrated Sporting News, ke, &e., ee ‘The great international prize fight between Tom King, ’ champion of England, and John C. Heenan, the Ameri- @an champion of the ring, for $10,000, came off on the ‘16th instant, near Tunbridge, and terminated in the vic- tory of King, after fighting twenty-five rounds, which lasted thirty-one minutes, The London Times says ‘it was a fair stand up affair;” and Bell’s Life, in concluding tte description of the fight, asserts that ‘a braver con- test was never fought.” We give full reports from Bell’s Tein London and the Itustrated Sporting News. + THE BATTLE. The Bell's Life Accoant. ‘This long talked of battle of ‘the giants” came offon iq Miureday, the 10th inst., at a capital apet eoutheastwurd, inder as brilliant circumstances, both as regards weather (nd travelling arrangements, as coald possibly be de- sired. The sun shone beautifully the whole day, the @ompany was exceedingly select, and tRere was not the * glightest sppearance of interruption from the moment of landing to thet of departare. Gontle and simple and no- {ole and plain were present in large numbers—over one (ourand, The appearance of that great audience on one f the Sussex bills, as exponents and supporters of ‘“orough English manly pluck and bottom allover the world, brought back, as if upon the stage of history, the waditional glories of the sunlit days of the ring—glories mhich we trust have not altogether departed, but which, Judging from the well fought contest and well conducted business of Thursday, may again shine upon this yearn- ing generation of curs. On arrival st the station @ few minutes before five in ime morning, we found the ‘“rasping’”’ division had fiwindied away to an insignificant few. The fact is, the Dusy tongue of Madam’ Rumor had sent them 0 oiten to various stations on the Willo’-the Wisp errand that they were completely tired out, and after the lesson of . Tuesday and Wednesday night, without anything turning up, they blew up the whole affair, and quietly stayed at home. Never was a secret of such a kind better kept, and the wido-awakes who ‘‘knew the exact spot to yard” found themselves neck deep in the mire after a @ ‘asbion they little calculated on. The train consisted of Mirty carriages, in each of which, to uses theatrical phrase, there was no standing room. We wero ‘‘horsed’’ by two powerful engines, aod about a quarter past six glided out of the station without the least confusion, and with the greatest regularity in the world, ,/ After a pleasant trip, we at length drew up in a seclud~ ‘e2 and well selected «pot, where we got out, yawned, , strotched ourselves, and gulped in the sharp morning air most voriciously, On account of the extreme softness of the ground, it was some (ms before a decent place could be found, At this hour, about quarter-past pine @clock, the sun shining out as mavnificently as on a fine Moy morning, und as we toiled some mile and a balf up a steep, cragcy hill, the “= ui”? was takeo out of many At length a cuosen spot was taken possession of, and +} jhe ring pitched. King first tossed in his castor, amid Joud cheers, immodiately followed by Heevan, who was similarly received, Colors were now unfolded on Both rides, and the combatants began to dross. Cheico of, ground wou by Heenan, and then came the referee; some wrancling took place in respect , to that fenctionary, daring which betting went on with Offers at 40 to 20. &o., om Heenan, without tikers. Confusion now became the ruling element, wasting away Precious time on the top of @ hill that could be seen for twenty miles around. There wére the men and seconds ready , while the referee was expected to come from the ¢ Clouds, Three-quarters of an hour were spent in this wny before maiters were finally closed, aad the referee origindlly proposed was ultimately agreed to, The men then began the important duty of the toilet, and in the bands of their respective valets the operation was soon bompleted. Tue ring was then cleared, and the men showed themselves renty for battle array. Heenan wos Wo first to exhibit, amidst the loud cheers of his ad- Mairers, iustantiy followed by King, for whom another salvo arose from the throuts of his party. Pxactly at ten o'clock the men were delivered at the serateb, shook Bands, aod prepared to commence THE Frour.

There was some attempt at countering by both f the most homely description, very wild and very plaw. ’ Heenan rushed on King, got the bug again, and threw him Mike « sack of malt on tho grass On the men being Hifted, Heenan was found to be bleeding from the mouth.

It was obvious that he moaut to fight nothing but s wrestling fight—fists to be only very gpbordinate agents in the business, This called forth loud expressivas of disayprobation.

As it waa, after foolishly delay number of days, he had to raine the siege—steal away by stufieg rebel uniforma and fixing then in the places of his picket guarde—and m: march to reinforce Lee, and at the same time to sandwich Sedgwick to prevent General 8. from turning the right ob the rebe) |ine, Almost the same thing occurred at Knoxville, Inatoad of pitching in’? at once, he delayed to carry on the siege cn scientific principles—make regalar approaches.

His eye was ina frightful state, King having made several sudden successful shoulder bits with his right on it, From this to the twenty-fourth and last round, one ‘was like the other, and #0 short that it would be almost impossible to detail them. King went ahead in a perfect gallop, and on time being called for tho twenty-fifth round the sponge was thrown up by Heenan’s seconds in token of defeat, Ho was dreadfully punished, and should never have been permitted to pass beyond the twenty-first round. King presented no visible marks of punishment, except the ‘mouse’ on his eye. Thus ended this great contest in twenty-four rounds, occupying thirty-four minutes;and @ braver one never ‘was fought.
