PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER FOR 301.—0 n Tuesday the
fight between Trigg (the Paddington Champion) and
Heffernan came off at Greenhithe. The parties engaged
a steamer to convey them to the selected locality, and
having arrived, the usual preliminaries sere arranged,
and the combatants made their appearance in the ring.
They are of heavy weight, being upwards of twelve
stone, and exhibited great muscular shape and form.
Trigg has for some time been the terror at Paddington,
owing to his apparent power and pugilistic pretensions.
Heffernan is an athletic man, about twenty-four years of
age, and had never fought in a prize-ring. In betting
Tiigg was in favour. M'lntyre acted as second to Hef-
fernan, and Trigg was waited upon by Crony. The fight
commenced with severity, when Heffernan soon displayed
much courage, while his opponent fought with shyness.
Heffernan drew first blood, and they fought with great
desperation, Trigg falling frequently. It was quite evi-
dent that Heffernan was the best " General," and after
fighting rapidly seventeen minutes, Heffernan was de-
clared the winner. There was a strong muster of spec-
tators, and a good deal of money speculated.
WATERAIEN AND LIGIITEIMEN'S ALMSHOUSES.—
Tuesday, a special general meeting of the donors and
subscribers of this institution was held at the Bridge-
house Hotel, London-bridge, for the election of four
additional inmates to the asylum, out of a list of thir-
teen candidates. John Duden Brown, Esq., vice-presi-
dent, in the chair. This institution, which is situate at
Penge-common, Surrey, was founded for the reception
of poor, aged, decayed, and maimed freemen of the
Company of Watermen and Lightermen of the River
Thames, and their wives or widows. The report stated
that the Committee had much pleasure in announcing
that they have completed all their buildings, and are free
from debt ; that there are now forty-one houses occu-
pied, one of which, being a double house, accommodates
two inmates, and that there are therein fifty-nine poor
old watermen and lightermen, and their wives or widows.
The allowance to the inmates is 6s. per week for married
persons, and 4s. 6d. per week for single persons, with
two two tons of coals for each house. The expenses of
the allowance and coals amounts to about 7001. per
annum. The annual subscriptions and the interest of
the endowment fund produces together about 4001. per
annum, thus leaving an annual deficiency of 3001. The
Committee are very anxious to make up the deficiency,
as they would be most unwilling to make any reduction
in the small allowance granted to the inmates. The i
business of the day having been concluded, and the
names of the successful candidates announced, thanks
were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up,
MARRIAGE IN HIGH Lirn.—Gn Tuesday the mar-
riage of Henry Tufnell, M.P. for Devonport, and the
lion. Frances Byng, second daughter of Lord and Lady

sence of the principal family connexions. The Rev.
Lord John Thynne, Prebendary of Westminster, offi-
ciated at the religious ceremony. The bride was at-
tended to the altar by the Misses Hope Vere, Miss Tuf-
nell, and Miss Stirling, as bridesmaids. The wedding
circle subsequently adjourned to Lord and Lady Straf-
ford's mansion iu Portman-square, to partake of a
dejeuner, at which Mr. Byng, M.P., and Mrs. 13yng, the
Right Hon. George Stevens Byng, M.P., and Lady
Agnes Byng, Sir Walter George and the Hon. Lady

circle were present. The bride and bridegroom left town
