Still Ua eyes were bright, and there wae an ezpresslen of good bumor In bis lank and pale phiz that showed per- fect self-pouesslon, and internal oonfldence.-. His weight but little' ezoeeded 14 stone, and hie height; rendered more sMUng from bis dlnlsntlonlnbulk, waa ezactly 6 feet 2i. Bendlgo offered an aspect maob more agree- able, bis eomplezlon was dear and firesh colored, while blafiame generally ahowed perfect bealth; blawelgbt, we were Informed, waa llat. 101b. His grey eyes were brigbt and sparkling, and bla manner eccentrlo, but con- fident. There is a natoial restleaaness about him which iras by oo means dlmlnlabed on thia oocaalon, and be bad evidently made up bla mind, by every dodge of wblob he was maater, to tteal apon hla opponent, and to •loape from the eflbots of bis fearftil pbysleal superiority.

Upon the character of " The Great Pigbt for the ChamplonablDofEngland," we have no doubt our read- en have fjumd tbelr own opinions. A more dlsgraoe* fbl BDd'disgnstIng ezhibltlon never itained'the annals of British boxing. Wltb regard to tbe pretensions of tbe two men who took ao prominent a part in tbe day's proceedings, few remarks are neoessary. Cannt, dtbongh a big man, and possessed of great physical strengtb, doei not possess tbe attribntei of an acoomplleihed boxer. He la defldent In science, and wants tbe art of nslngthe gUti of nature wltb that tact and precision wblob are calcu- lated to ensure eucceis. There wai a wlldnen and In- deolslon In bis deliveries wblfib prevented bis doing ex- eontlon. \nd the major part of bla blows either flew over Ben'.. ' bead, or were abort or wide of their destina- tion. Had be been steady asd seir-poaaessed, and bit- tbg at points, this wonld not have been the ease; and did he understand tbe perfect ait of telf-defenoe, four- flflbs of tbe punishment be received might have beea avoided, but be left himself open to attack, and thns his opponent wog enabled to plant on him wltb stinging severity. With a man of his own bulk the case might have been different; and perhaps tbereare few If any of tbe pr«.4ent day who wonld prove superior to blm in fair fighting. We deny, however, that Bendigo's style of assault Ii either fair or honorable; It'Is, on tbe con- trary, treacherons, and dlfTere irldely tnm our notion! of" a fair stand-up fight." It may be laid that so imaD a man as Bendlgo In oppoelUon to a mnn of OannVs inperloT height and weight was jastifled in having re- eoune'to stittagem, and that "all Is fair In war;" thla we deny; and the rnlea of Doglieh boxing are utterly opposed to snob practices. The greatest coward that ever breathed might conqnoi tbe bravest If be Is to be allowed to wait till be has a chance of administering punishment, and then throw himself down to avoid a letom'/and If so small a man can only compete with a ' bigger/man npon bucb tema, be ongbt not to make a match/ If be enters the Ring as a boxer be must abide by tbA rules of boxing, and,Tlolatlngtbem, he cnght to Baffin the penalty ofblti own conduct. That Bendlge is a«rave man, a bud hitter, and possesied of good aclnoe, we readily aoknpwiedge, and we know of no man of the Bune weight and age now In the fleldwhoconldenocesi- fuUy compete with blm. In ble ooniest with 0|imt, bAwever, these qualtleswere dimmed by tie adoption of tbe most objeotlonable tricks. Over and over.agaln.dld ^e creep on bis man with the^stealtb^ onnning of^^' 'tiger, deliver tbe most smsahing Uts. and then drop down and laugh at the success of his tactics. The termination of this battle created a bad feeling between tbe parties of the two men, and well nigh put an end^to prize fighting In England. It was owing to the dlsgraoeftal proceedings attached to this affair, that tbe PuglUitlo Benevolent Association was formed, tbe memben of which snperlntend the amngementi of battles, and see tbat fair play It meted ont .to all alike. b aman addicted to imoking marries a widow, dole Itfillow tbat be mnit lay down his pipe, became she gives up her weeds?
