The reason -asslgiied is sll very well In Its'way, bnt we preaome that bsck 'of sll, the qolet'desired, la to avoid being dlstorbed when training, do. The Unkadwn, Mth whom he la matched, is add to be Tom King, thti late conqneror of Jem Uace, so that. If heenan ahonid gain lihe victory, he.irlll have defeated the man who whipped the oham' pion, andthssseonie all the honor that can possibly acorne in that .direction. Eeenan hat exhibited a great dealof ahrewd nest in making this' match, and has taken the Oupfzb's advice, to IM'the Championship alone. In doing so, he has secdied .the advantsge of having a good lonnd snm tolght for, whloh li mnch more dealrable than lighting for a mete £300, or fiiOOOa dde. It'Was well known that no matter, with whom he wonld be matched,bntKaoe in parttcnlir, the oddawonld besomnoh in his flavor, that li wonld take a big forioie to win a small one, bnt In lighting for a given snm, the Investment wonld be even.

From what has been written in Eo^lsh papers, we ahonid infer that he is; bnt l^iber than that nothing has as yet transpired to llx his place of nativity. - Heenan has denied being the man, and there la none other that is known here, that is likely to enter the lists against Ur.

A Fizzu.—The skating season of 186M may be'eet down'sa a lamentable fizzle, there having'been bht three or four days of ekatlng dnrlng the entire winter, Somebody must have snffered terribly. In consequence of this faUure, for more than usual ex- pe nae was incurred In preparing the various skating ponds around ns,and dedeia in skates Uld in very laigeatocksof •runners," "rocky damps," and other sted'-dad iMitrlvsncea for eport upon the ice. Uost of this supply still remains on hand, the mllilneas of the season deranging the entlie- bnalnees, and preventing any sort of demand for akales. liiose gentle- men who pdd heavy snms for the privilege of selling refresh- ments, eto,, on onr skating ponds, must be great snfTerers; for there has been lltUe or no dianee to dispose of their commodi- ties.
