CUISIDE BETS DECLARED OFF, Al - Enix, Pa., May 12, 1871. The great fight between Mace and Coburn isa Qzzle. They faced each other for one hour and twelve minutes without striking @ blow, and were Goatly driven out of the ring by the Canadian muili- tla, It ts questionable if ever @ proposed fight, either of much or little importance, ever terminated in such a fiasco as that of yesterday petween Jem Mace and Joe Coburn, of New York, for the cham- pionship of America and §2,000, They met in the ring near Port Dover, Canada, and, although standing before cach other for the period of ove hour and ao quarter, did not strike a | low, ewing to the discouraging manceuvres of Coburn, who persistently kept within lis own corner and would not leave it to fight, while to fol- Jow there would certainly expose Mace to some out- ide assault, or so it is asserted; and to cap the climax of disappoiutment of the two thousand pre- fent, the authorities of Norfolk county, backea by the Thirty-ninth regiment of Canadian Volunteers, swooped down upon the entire party with loaded rifles, causing the dispersion and the sudden and un- looked-for ending of what was anticipated being the est Oght that ever occurred in this country. THE PARTICULARS OF THE EXCURSIONS and inctaents that befell the admirers of the ring rom their departure to the scene of conflict aud Oual disembarkation at this place are given below. The excurstonists, or the majority of them, left Erie at two o'clock yesterday morning by the steam- boat on which this despatch Was written, Leaving the different hotels one’s way extended through the dark but wide streets to the rather filthy wharf at the foot of State street, where the boats were lying im readiness to receive their visitors—six hundred or more delectable roughs and thieves, with here and there a few gentiemen—all bound to Port Dover. The. frout of the wharf was hidden by the steamboats, for there were two of them—the Winona, chartered ‘by the Mace party, and the New York, chartered by the Coburnites. The former carried the crowd, for it was the handsomer boat and presented aitrac- Uons of a superior nature to the New York. He Rovens were clamorous in their demands to have the boat Start for its destination at midnight, but they could got be accommouaed, The staterooms and cabins were filled with these creatures, tuirsting for some- body's blood or mowey. Asthe quiet citizen passed Mirough piles of lumber and heaps of refuse the \uueves made him an especial opject of interest and kindly hetped hima to reach the deck of the boat, when at the same time they went throngh his clothes and relieved him of ull the spare change or Vaiuabies in his possession, ‘ihe knowing ones lad their money 1a safer places than pockets, and it was Only the counirymen that were worth plucking. Along te lower or ireigut decks the hands were hurrying to and {ro iu te misty darkness, a fonished at the irruption of “Assyrians, many Of them were as reckless and unprincipled scouu- drels a8 ever endured penizentiai pangs in Sing fing. Swarming tue narrow, contracted cabin of that boat, they lounged on the chairs and tables, cursing and blaspheming, pouring fort. torrents of obscenity from ir recking lips, spitting, chewing and skylarking. Que rafilan entered the ci fiuding no room for his not peculiariy cleaniy car- cass, tapped an Innocent sleeper on the for, with “You have siept enough, dama you! It’s my turn fow”. And when the 1ajured gent, who had given the sam of five dollars to enjoy the midnight snooze Gnd a sight of the fight, exposiula‘ed, the kindiy re- tura was, “Shut up, or I'l) kick your snout off)? By three o’ciock the boats settled down to con- Sideracie decency, aud to the end of the excursion there was nothing of note that occarred, excepting on the New York. Coburn, Who occupied the star- board stateroom, was compelled to send a lad wo ask afew bummers aud dock raisto keep quiet, as he wanted to sleep, The alr was cr.sp and alpping. We passed in succession litte bays, inlets aud aims of the lake running into the mainiand, with here and there a white iramed house or @ murderous guiley, or a ravine Iringed with @ scanty furze and weil a for pur,oses of assassivatiou or violence, May morning [i was coid, and oue’s toes aud Gugers became partially benumed. This was THE OPENING SCENE | of the Mace and Cobura fight, and in reality 1t | promised well. Port Dover Was reached about Beven o'clock, aud the steamboats anchored half @ fule from shore to unload thelr cargoes of sla and The morning was delightfully pieasant, devittry. aud the sun shone on tue bold bind that runs up (vom the waler’s edge so Charmingly that the land ecmed too pure to be poiluied by thé Gotns ready to tvade it. Half an hour more and sight was ob- tained of five other steamboats from Detroit, San- » Bada, Cley 1 and Puakirk, besides Several Otver craft iull of peopie, ail waiting to dis- embark and witness the fight. YHE YIGHTING GROUND. Ascending a gorge made in the biutf by a torrent of water aod partly filled with trunks of decayed trees sad huge rocten iimos, and proceeding half a juite irom the bank of the lake, the ground for the Bghi Was selected, on the farm of Mr. Daniel W ot Who, with his neighbors —quiet and industrious til- levs oO: the soil—were not a litte surprised at the rough looking men tee fag place, The centre oO. a grassy feild was staked by nicely turned stakes fd tue ropes firmly adjusted by hands roughened by pugilistic exercise. ‘This work Was completed at hali-past eight o'clock, and down the narrow beach ander the biuff the plash of oars was heard until hbalf-past ten, the work of emptying human cargves 4» buge yaw! aud land landing them.

Coburn, at seven minutes past eleven o'clock, threw his cap into the ming and instantly followed i h if, when every eye Was upon lim and a hoarse grected him. Preceding him were Owue: eoghegan, of New York, and Bill Dwyer, of Califor- Dia, lis seconds, Four minutes afterwards the natty littic but int of Mace sided over the heads of the crowd, and he modestly vaulted over the roped barrier into tie square, and four thousand eyes Were upoa Lim, Cheer after cheer rent the air, and Mace bowed low @ud gracefully, with his pecultar | | emie op his face.

THE CANADIAN AUTAORITIES PUY A STOP 70 THE PUN, ‘rhese annoying and discou! ous tactic swere continued for one hour and twelve intoutes. when the authorities put .0 an appearance and stopped the most unsatisfactory pugilistic affair that was ever attempted in the prize ring in this or any other country. ‘Then a rush was made and two strangers crow.ed into the ring before the pugiists, and the foremost, with a commanding voice and uplifted cane, shouted, “Tie authorities have beén made ac- quainted with this prize fight. It must not ‘go on any farther. I have nere the High Sheriff of Norfolk county, Who wail enforce the law, and after has done this, should auother blow be struck T have mill- tary enough to enforce it, and the blood’ may be spilt upon your own heads”) This entieman was Judge iison. ‘tl High Sherif, Edmund Deeds, of Simooe, then im & trembling voice—for the crowd began to ridicule the Sherif’s cocked hat—read @ proclamation, as follows:—'‘Our sovereign lady, the Quech, chargoth and commandeth all persons being assembled here immediately to disperse theinseives, and peaceably to depart to their habitations or to their lawful busi- hess, upon the pain contained in the act relating to high treason, to tumult and riotous assemblies, and to other offences. God save the Queen! While this proclamation was being read the thieves were at work, and the august person of Judge Wilson was approached and his pocket picked of a watch and chain valued at $175, The Judge, doubtless, thinks a New York gang of pickpockets a lite more expert ; than any he had ever before seen raised in his country, DISPERSION OF THE CROWD—MACE'S OPINION OF BUI COBURN, This closed the fight, both principals eed As Mace descended the bill to einbark upon the Winona he satd:—‘Why, if I had acted as cowardly as Co- burn did to-day the crowd would drown me in Lake Erie.” His esumation of his opponent is widel endorsed. The crowd then scampered away pell meil for the shore to escape the soldiers and officers of Canada, and atter four tedious hours, which were consumed im reaching the various vessels in wait- ing, the prows of the boats were turned to the laces from whence they came, and the quiet city of erie was frightened from its siumbers by the unraly gang of rouxhs some time after midmght. The Winona, wh'ch had Mace and his friends on board, is the fastest craft on the lake, but she lost her way, tlirough tie incompetency of her captain, and did not reach Erie until this morning at day- break. The thieves on board were uncontrollable and made the boat a Noating hell.

J., on the Union ground yesterday, resuited in an overwhelmingly disastrous defeat to the Jerseymen, they not being able to score a single run, while the “Mutes’ made thirty-nine.

Willis vs. Weaver.—Samuel H, Cornell, one of the jury in this case, it will be remembered, on the Opening of the sealed verdict in court awarding $41,000 tothe plaintud, the suit being one growing out of real estate transactions, sald he signed the sane under fear of personal injury, The Judge at once fined him , $250, and placed him in contempt, ‘but subsequently remitted the fine. There have been two or three hearings, and there was another yesterday, winding up the matter. A lengtny afida- Vit of Mr. Cornell was read, pacetng TOR iat he o) ‘posed the verdict on the ground of conscientious cdn- victions and not being Warranted by the evidence; that one of ‘he jury, a restaurant keeper, threatened to eat lum up unless he signed the verdict; tnat the foreman said he ought to be assassinated; that they ali, in fact, jecred him for assuming superior wis+ dom, and that when he signed it he told them he should repudiate it as his verdict before the jury. He said further that he-did not Know Kobert Willis; that zo one called upon him in regard to the verdict, and that he received no consideration, directly or indirectly, for his course, Washington’ J. Snyder, of the jury, stated in an’ afldavit that the other members of the jury treated Mr. Cornell very con- temptuously. After hearin; » Keavey, counsel for Mr. Coruell, the Court dismissed the case, thus purging Mr, Cornell from contempt. SUPREME COUR T—SPECIAL TERM, Tranenctions in Cotton, with Two Sidvs to the Story. Before Judge Sutherland. George W. Rive et al., vs. W. J. Porter et al— In February, 1870, William Forbes obtained from tie captain of the brig William, at New Orleans, bills ot lading for 105 bales of cotton. Forbes drew against these bills of lading for $18,590 on the plaintffs in Boston, which drafis the latter accepted and paid. On the gucceeding day Forbes bought 155 bales of cotton, which were marked and sent to the wharf where the brig lay. He also ordered eighty-eight bales to be sent to the bark Panola, which were sent next day. He got bitls of lading of these and drew on the defendants in New York, who accepted the drafts and paid them and sold the cotion to meet them. Ten days after this the Willain Was burned at her wharf. This sult is brought to recover the value or the latter lot of cotton, on the ‘ound, as the plaintitts allege, that they obtained a actor's hen,on the same the moment the boat reached the whart: that though when the bills were Issued there was no cotton on which they acted, yet 4S s00n as the cotton belonging to Forbes came Into the possession of the captain of tne brig Willlam, the bills of lading and tle lien under them attached could not be divested of any act of Forbes, and that such lien was prior to any iien of the de- fendants. It is claimed by the defence that there is po Eee of delivery to the captain of the William, and that something more than proof 1s required. They claim that it must be shown tkat the delivery was with the intent that it should be under the bills of lading. They insist that their bills of lading were regular and proper; that the cotton came icgi- timately into'tieir hands; that the advance on the same was innocently made, and therefore that there 1s bo reason why they, instead of the plaints, should be made to suffer by the transaction, The Court took the papers, reserving its decision.

In the course of the examination of one o1 the jurors, who said he bad read about the case and jrom such reading derived an impression of the case, but, notwithstanding that impress.on, he could and would do his duty if sworn, counsel for accused interposed an objection vo this juror upon the ground that he was mcompetent, being necessarily piased because he had read of the case, Judge Ledtord, in repiy, sad—“if Us juror should be exciuded from tacompetency, then uo intelligent being that reads about any occurrence could cver actasajnror.

Mr. Sullivan read, with em- phasia, Dr. Evans, printed circular, in wiuch tue virtues of bis femate French periodical drops’ are extolled, and characterized the crime oi abor- tion as cold-blooded murder, THE TES UgMONY. Ann O'Neil, being sworn, testified that she saw the prisoner in July, 1579, at his office in Chatham street, (she was shown here a circular, which she identitied as the one sent her by the prisoner in response to her letter of inquiry ih relauon to his advertisement.) ‘ ‘he aeience objected to the introduction of the circular mm evidence.

A controversy here occurred between the Court and counsel for the defence as to the propriety of admitting the circular or letter as evidence, Jt was Haally admitted conditionally and exception taken to the ruling. Witness, continuing:—I enclosed a directed en- velope to the doctor, giving my address, aud re- ceived the circular 10 it; saw the doctor in an office on the second floor of 94 Chatiam street; 1 went the aiternoon; saw his (prisoner's) housekeeper 2189 at the oftice; when I saw the docvor I taid him [ had come there to have an abortion procured on me; he told me there was no other person would answer as well as him; that he was the only and best physician on such occasions; he told me to pay him ten doliars and he would give the necessary Medicines; L paid him five; he gave me a bottle of medicine and a box of. pills; he told me to call again wien that medicine was out if i did not have the desired effect; I was pregnant at that time; he said when t came into the ofiice he knew what J wanted; I took its medicine; he told me that in about three or four days 1: would all over and that 1 could resume work; I was at that time a servant in a family; I did chamberwork; {1 told the doctor I was not married, in { Teply to his question; it was from one to two } Weeks after the frst interview tnat I saw him agatn; Ttold him on that occasion that his medicine was Dot as represented; he said my case was more stub- born than the generality; he said if 1 would come at apy other time he would periorm an operation and that Would succeed; he then gave me more pills.
