PUGILISM.

CHARLES LYNCH (THE AMERICAN) AND SIMON
FINIGHTY FOR £5O A-SlDE.—These men have be-
fore met within the ropes, on which occasion the
battle was awarded to Finighty in consequence of
its being alleged that the American had hit a foul
blow. The American was anxious to retrieve his
credit, and his friends resolved that he should have
an opportunity of again meeting his opponent.
The match produced an extraordinary amount of
interest. Many of the rounds were remarkable for
the rapidity of the fighting. The belligerents were
confined to Bst., and on Monday they went to scale
at George Brown's, when both were ascertained to
be within the prescribed limits, the American, who
is a little Hercules at the weight, having that ad-
vantage ; Simon, on the contrary, appearing deli-
cate in constitution. After an agreeable voyage
the ring was pitched.on a well-known spot. Finighty
had for his seconds John M'Donald and George
Brown; while Harry Brunton and Jerry Noon did
the requisite for Lynch, who Was the non-favourite
at 5 to 4. Having taken their positions at the
scratch the men commenced the contest. Lynch
forced the fighting in his usual determined manner,
getting home on the ribs with telling force, while
he received on the head, on whi ch, however, Finighty
did not appear to make any impression. Forty-two
bustling rounds were fought, and from the looks of
the men there did not appear any extensive damage
done ; but when all imagined the following round
was about to begin,
Finighty, to the surprise
of all around the ring, walked up to his man,
and acknowledged that he had had enough.
Many at first were of opinion that a certain gentle-
man, named " Barney, had given the whisper, but
there appears little doubt that Finighty was beaten
on his merits, as this was the conviction of the ma-
jority of those who were on the ground. The battle
lasted one hour and ten minutes.
JOHN PERRY AND PADDY TURNER, FOR £lO A-
SlDE.—These men, Who fought at catch-weight,
also contended in the same ring. Perry, who is a
fine fellow, was waited upon by W. Gillam and J.
Hicks, while Denny Sullivan and Dan Collins did
the polite for Turner. They had a merry bustling
mill of 40 minutes' duration, during which 28 rounds
were fought, when Turner was compelled to cry,
" Hold, enough !" and thus, with the most perfect
order and regularity, terminated the doings of the
day.

TRE MASSACRE OF EUROPEANS IN
BORNEO.

The China Telegraph contains the following ac-
count of the massacre at Banjermassing, on the
south coast of Borneo, briefly mentioned in a tele-
gram on Saturday :

" It appears that for some time past great discon-
tent existed among the natives at the election of the
new Sultan, who was not the lineal descendant of _
their late ruler, but had been adopted by him as a
son, and a conspiracy was formed to depose
him, unknown to the Dutch Resident, Count
Bentheim Fecklenburg Rheda. At the head of
the conspiracy was a certain Aling, a native of
Mulling, who aspired to the sovereignty of Ban-
jermassing, calling himself in his proclamations
by the style and title of. Radja Kuning. On the
breaking out of the conspiracy, a general massacre
of the Europeans was to take place. The flag of the '
conspirators was unfurled on May 1, and the Euro-
pean workmen employed in the coal mines of Julia
Hermina, belonging to a joint-stock company, and
situated near Kalangan, were suddenly attacked,
overpowered, and brutally murdered, with the ex-
ception of two or three women, who managed to con-
ceal themselves with their children. An attack was
then made on the establishment at Rangeran, but
the assailants had to draw off with some loss, hav-
ing met with a very warm reception. In other parts
of the island the massacre of the Europeans was
general and simultaneous. Amongst the unfortu-
nate victims of this brutal and wholesale murder are
five German missionaries (Messrs. Hammer, Rott,
Wiegand, Kind, and Hofmeister), with their wives
and children. The total number *of Europeaditmur-
dered and missing is between 70 and 80. Most pro-
videntially, Col. Andreson had arrived a few days
previously (April 28) with a detachment of 150 men
of the 9th battalion, to relieve Count Bentheim of
, the civil government as resident, and to take the
military command of the station. This probably
preserved Tatus, the chief town of Banjermassing,
from a similar horrible fate ; but a party of 50 men,
sent for the protection of Pangeran, were intercepted
by a strong band of rebels, and obliged to return.
Orders were immediately after despatched by the
resident to send over the other five companies of the
9th battalion, some artillery, and half a company of
Sappers, by the Dutch war-steamers Montrado and
A rdjuno, to Banjermassing, as a reinforcement and
protection. Later accounts had been received from
Pangeran, stating that the little band of Europeans
shut up there were defending themselves most he-
roically, and had successfully withstood and driven
back the assailants ten different times. Great com-
plaints had been made against the government, or at
least against the resident, for not affording the work-
men of the coal mining company the protection pro-
mised by their charter, And the Governor-General
had ordered an official investigation to he made with
a vie of ascertaining whether these charges had
any foundation. The following also were among
the victims of this cold-blooded outrage :—Mr.
Wijnmalen and family (except the three youngest
r. and Mrs. Motley and child (English),
ger, Messrs. Van Hercken, Eisenger,
Brood.apenhrialdllreinnz), Nn e
