Battie at Mayajigua—Defeat of the Spaniards and Oaptare of the Town—Other Minor En- sagemente—Volunteers from Spain. toe Hayana, Feb. 23, 1860. ‘The citizens were greatly alarmed and intense ex- citement and agitation prevailed all day yesterday, but partially subsided in the evening when it was known that the danger had been averted by the Armness of General Dulce. The plansof the volun- teers were discovered early in the day, and the officers went among the men and exhorted them to abstain from violent acts, and to obey the authori- ties. But the influence of the officers was not strong enough, and it is certain that the resolute conduct of the Captain General and of General Espinar, of the regular army, alone prevented the commission of disgraceful acts. ‘The insurgents had a battle with the troops at Mayajigus, near Remedios, and defeated them, cap- taring the town. Frequent accounts are received of smaller engage- mente in the vicinity of Trinidad, Cienfuegos, and ‘Villa Clara, with results sometimes in favor of the rebels and sometimes in favor of the troops. The rebels have got possession of a tug on the Damuji siver, leading into Iagua bay. A despatch from Spain was received yesterday e@fternoon announcing the organization of a force of 3,000 Catalan volunteers for service in Cuba. Spanish Troops to Start for the Interior— More Plantations Burned—An Expedition from Neuvitas Gene to Guanaga—The Re- Hef of Puerto Principe the Supposed Object— Increased Import and Export Duties. Havana, Feb. 23, 1869, ‘The city is now quiet and hopes are entertained -that there will be no further demonstrations by the volunteers, ‘Three thousand Spanish troops leave here to-mor- row for the interior, but their precise distination is not yet known. All the papers published here urge the volunteers to preserve good disclipine and place reliance upon the assurances of the authorities that vigorous measares will be pursued towards the rebels. When the salutes in honor of Washington's birth- Gay were being fired on yesterday the inhabitants of the suburbs became terribly frightened, supposing that a struggle had commenced in the city. Reports from Villa Clara state that another estate hasbeen burnt nearthat place. At Jaguey the in- surgenta have fired thirty-six cane fields. They have also burnt the plantation Australia, belonging to Sefior Mara, a Cuban. ‘The steamship Bavaria for New Orleans will carry @,600 (7) passengers. Intelligence from Nuevitas to the 18th inst. repre- sent that Governor Lesca, at the head of an expedi- tion of 2,600 men, including @ force of cavalry, with several howitzers, @ large number of horses, pro- visions to last for some days, |and 140 rounds of ammu- nition for each man, has gone to sea. It is not stated where this force is destined for, but Guanaja is supposed to be the objective point. From thence they can march to Puerto Principe, a distance of thirty-six miles, through an open road, avoiding the rebel fortifications, Guanaja being in possession of the insurgents, however, and fortified with several pteces of artillery, the troops will probably have to carry the place by assault before moving on Puerto Principe, as they cannot make a flank movement without leaving their rear exposed to the insurgents. The road also runs through the Cuiita Mountain, ‘which is now in possession of the insurgents. ‘The schooner Kate Ranger has been prohibited loading @ cargo which came through the rebel :ines, and has gone to Matanzas. The steamer Semaramis has sailed for-Hayti, leav- ing the claim upon her unsettied. By @ decree of the Captain General the export duty from the ist of March next will be ae follows:—On sugar, fifty cents per box and one dollar and twenty- five cents per hogshead; on tobacco, one dollar per bale, and olgars fifty cents per thousand. On all imports five per cont additional tax will be levied. ‘Twenty-five per cent of the receipts will be paid to the Banco weekly for the advance of $4,000,000, Havana Quict—The Situation in the Central Department—The Insurgents Having Things Thoir Own Way—The Cienfuegos Rebel Cavalry Well Mounted and in Possession of Artillery.

The Spanish and French fagships in the harbor courteously replied, hoisting, meanwhile, the Stars and Stripes atthe main. During the day the French Admiral paid an oMcial visit to Adiniral Hoff, Intelligence has been received from Key West to- day of the arrival of two iron-olad ships there, which has caused great excitement and much speculation ‘aa to whether they are the two Spanish tron-ciads, Fernando el Catolico and her consort, whose coming has been announced from Spain.

Lecture by William Anderson. ‘The concluding lecture of @ course of free popular lectures given under the auspices of the Western Branch of the Young Men’s Christian Association was delivered last evening by Mr. William Anderson toa crowded audience. Among the lecturers have been the Rev. Dra, John Hall, Bacon and Dowling and other distinguished gentlemen. Mr. Anderson’s theme was “Irish Bulls.” He sald it became his rovince in following out the bill of tare provided supplement ti sub- their regalement to jared ty fatigable biquitous President of the Society tor the prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals might be sonaeenl @ summary arrest for crowding a number of bulis into a paper parcel, but his embarrassment was occasioned by the considera- tion that the subject was not one which would afford solid instruction. He proceeded to argue that the exercise of the mirthful element, which was a part of the numan constitution, conduced to mellow and soothe overtaxed faculties, and then entered upon the discussion of the topic announced. The best etymo- logical definition of a “buil” would be found in one of the bold tropes of the ancient Greek writers, rmed catachresis, a figure which uses a term op- posite in meaning to the thing it desired to express, Quite a number of ap illustrations were mentioned to show that the “bull”? was not indigenous to irish soil alone, but was characteristic of other peoples. ‘The lecturer, however, conilued himself to Hiber- nian bulls, dividing them, or, more properly speak- jog his subject, into two parts— rate ane. of “tho bulls Which passed rapidly rate a tithe of la wi before the mental vision of the ‘audience, many of which provoked great merriment.

The fears the Black Horse cavalry and masked batteries which, he claimed, ex- isted only in the brains of newspaper reporters, filled the minds of the men and lent terror to their retreat.

Gallagher, of Cleve- land, Ohio, and Tom Allen, of England, came of ‘this afternoon on Carroll Island, in the Mississippi river, about fourteen miles below this city, and after two rounds, which lasted but three minutes, Allen was knocked senseless by a blow op the jugular vein, and when time was called was unable tore- ‘spond, A party of pugilists and others, 300 in number, left this city this morning at ten o’clock, reaching Carroll Island about noon, and at three in the after- noon the ring was pitched and ali the prelumioaries of the Nght arranged. Sketches of the Men. CHARLES 0, GALLAGHER was born in Coburg, Canada West, and is in his twenty-fourth year. In height he stands six feet one and a half inches in his stockings, and when reduced to fighting trim will scale abous 180 Pounds. He is of Irish parentage. His father took him to Cleveland when Gallagher was about seven years of age, which place he has recognized as his home ever since. In 1861, while yet but sixteen years of age, he enlisted in the three months’ ser- vice, and upon his discharge immediately re-enlisted ee pease the Eighth Ohio, aiso Known as the ‘nia Guards. with the regiment wai West vin be repo etore nis irty-seven engage- final discharge participated in inclu Romney, Biue Gap, Winchester, Antietam, Bull Fredericksbui Gettyabr Chaucellorsvilie, Wilderness, ‘Spotisylvania ‘aud Cold Harbor. At Rock, West Virginia, he was wounded in the. t! and at Spottsyivama he was leg wile taking part in the rand charge made on that occasion by General ancock, At the same time he had an only brother killed, also a member of the Eighth. Of this brother most marvellous stories are related a3 @ man of pro- digious strength, having on more than one occasion easily vanquished four, aad even five, opponenis in fistencounters. Gallagher was finully discharged on the 7th of July, 1864. In April, 1865, be was appointed a, Street Commissioner of Cleveland, a position which he held up to the (me of accepting a lenge to fight Kiliott, when he ed. He also served six months on the pace immediately subse- quent to his discharge m the army. The fight above alluded to never came on, a8 Gallagher, to is mortification, was compelled to fortett ugh sickness. He was not heard of for some ume afterwards or until he made a match to fight Bill Davis. ‘This pattie came off on the 5th of Octo- ber, 1867, at Fighting near Detroit. After contesting forty-five rounds, which lasved one hour and fifty-seven minutes, Davis was declared the vic- tor, ag it was alleged that Gallagher had strack a foul blow. He, however. received tue least punish- ment in the encounter. Having still a strong inclina- tion to try Conclusions with Jimmy Elliott, an off- hand match, $300 @ Bid was made between thom in Cleveland, to ‘tgne at Peach Isiand, seven miles from Detroit, michigan, ou the 12th of November, 1868. ‘The tight came off, bu! more disreputable affair never took place in ihe ring of this or any other country. Galiagber had no chance to win, and after contending for an hour and seven Lecegyee | he refused to continue ia the ring any longer. aad Elliott was declared the winner of the affair. We now come to the present fight and will stave how tt came about. At the fight between Tom Alicn and Bill Davis, which came oif at Chateau Island, in the Missouy! river, on the 12th of Jani last, betore the commencement of hostilities, Gal- lagher stated his willingness to fight the wunner as soon a8 he was ready for $1,000 a side, as he w: sirous to win tae championship of Ame t with Gi nd 2, 4b gneo"ement ard weeds of each party quic had the articles of agreement made out and signed for them to fight try. “Gailagier then weuit tivo close. training, ai ary. r then went into close George Rinkel’s Six Mile House, on the St. Charles Rock with Bill Blake, alias “Dublin Tricks,” to ver the imme- is an English having first pearance Birming- ham twenty-eight years ago, feet 104 bis fought at 10 stone 10 pounds, a nds Beas, ow some 162 pounds, fie" early 6x an incl for oouire pation in ts the arena,” but, Ike his brother Harry J the ring-going Mamaia upon hit ai ‘4 iy meri as than tramed.
