Heenan's Champion belt sold at auction.

--It may be remembered that some weeks after the great fight in England two belts were presented to the combatants — Sayers receiving one at the hands of the editor of Wilkes' Spirit of the Times, and Heenan one at the hands of the editor of Bell's Life. As the belts were not paid for at the time of presentation, Heenan went home without his trophy, refusing to accept it on that account. On the 20th ult., the one presented to Heenan was put up at auction in London, and sold to Ben Caunt for fifty-one guineas. The original value of the belt was one hundred guineas, and its weight between fifty and sixty ounces.
