THRILLING INCIDENT.

The New York New Era of Saturday says:
"On Tuesday evening, as the celebrated wild beast
performer Dresbach, was performing with his ami
mails at the Bowery Theatre, the leopard and the
tiger volunteered extra incident to the Performance
by regular set to while Driesbach was in the cage
with them, which came near costing the latter his
life Driesbach had succeeded in separating the
batants one of which, the leopard, he caused to leap
upon his shoulders, when the tiger made spring up
on him ALSO and buried his teeth and claws into the
unfortunate tanners face and head tearing off portion
of his scalp, decorating his face IN most shocking
manner and covering him with blood. The ndomi-
table courage and address of the heroic German how
ever, was never more conspicuousy displayed than
upon this OCCASION and SO effectualy did he subdue
the enraged animals, while in the most immi-
nent peril that part of the audience were not
aware of the extent of the accident"

dered it inex pedent to open discussion of unpea
SAINT personal matters here and impossible TO 40 more
than to make informal verbal communication to
him; that il regretted that the nature OF the com
muncatlon would would necessarily impose upon MN
(Mr. Wise) some trouble, and perhaps inconvenience
which under other circumstances would have been
most gladly avoided He Mr.. Mangum) hoped that
an ample apology for the proposition he about TO
make would be found in the circumstances to which
he had alluded. Mr. StanIy desires that YOU person
ally, or some friend Of yours, will be at Barnums Ho
TEL in the city of Baltimore next w ednesday week
the 18th instant, at IL o'clock meridian, when and
where he Mr. Stany) desires to open the discussion
of these unpleasant personal matters
MIR. StanIy postpones the discussion to the period
mentioned because he cannot sooner, prooaDy,
procure the assistance of the friend whom ne de-
sres participate in the discussion, and to act fur
Their, in the controversy shall unhappiy take an
unpleasant turn.
Mr.. Wise said he would consider the proposition !;
that he did not then any reason why he could not
attend at the time indicated but that IT. on reheclon
any should occur to him. he would apprise Mr.. Man
gum of it,
Mr. Mangum then said that if the day indicated

ing the week of the at Baltimore, any day OF
the races would be desirable the absence gentle
men from this city would he readily accounted for up
on supposition of desire to witness these sports
We then separated, and Immediately thereafter, In

considered an authorized withdrawal Of MI. SanIy's
letter. After giving in substance Mr. Stanly's state
ment of that occurrence in his letter to Mr. Wise,
which is incorporated in this letter to obviae all mis-
construction, and is as follows "On Saturday, the
7th of May instant, while coming from the
race course, you riding horseback in compa-
ny with gentleman whom did not know. | was
about pass YOU and in the doing So the horse
was riding became frig htened, and without my being
brought against you. l endeavored to stop him as
soon as could. had scarcely recovered my stirrup,
before think had been able to stop the horse, and
while was in the act of turning around towards the
right side, where presumed you were, for the pur
pose of making apology for the apparent rudeness
by saying that it the result of accident which
could not possibly prevent, received blow
on the right side of my head, which for moment de-
prived me of all consciousness"
l, as the authorized friend of Mr.. Wise, have
no hesitation in frankly saying for Mr. Wise that Mr.
Stanlys account of the occurrence is such to
thorize me to say for Mr.. Wise that he was fully I'M
der the conviction that Mr.. Stanly designed the COLI
sion which took place between them the 7th in
slant as an assault but for this conviction Mr. Wise
(Mr Wise not understanding Mr.. Stanys situation
at the tme regrets that his not being aware of Mr.
Stanlys intention to apologize fol- the collision caused
him to assail Mr.. Stany.
Allow me, in conclusion, to express the hope that
this letter prompted by anxious desire to conciliate,
may terminate the unpleasant controversy between
Messrs. Wise and Stanly to their mutual satisfac-
ton.

Mr.. Wise having been arrested on the 18th instant
and bound in large recognizance, on the l4th in

to leave it with any intent to fight duel with Mr.
Stanly and Mr. Stanly, who had escaped from arrest
and left the District the 18th instant, having con-
tnued beyond its limits and being subject to no such
embarrassment as that to which Mr. Wise is now
subjected l, who had given the within intimation,
learning that compliance with it by Mr. Wise
would be forfeiture of his recognzance, and likewise
subject him to an indictment under the laws of Con-
gress against duelng, in the event hostile meeting
should ensue felt that the beraty of high courtesy
belonging the occasion required that should with
draw this intimaton. Upon inquiry, learning that
such is the opinion of some of the most eminent in
