STANLEY AND WISE.

In the following is an account OF the race
sffray. which looks as iiiI might be authen-
tic -
The affiay which occurred on Saturday, be-
tween Messrs. Wise and Stanley has been the
subiect eff much conversation. AS IS usual 10
such cases, several versions Of the maltor, dill
fernp considerably from each other, are attoat
| will give the account which have reason 10
believe perfectly correct in every essen!ial par
ticulsr.
Ro,b gentlemen attended the races on Sat-
u,dav nm horseback. Mr.. Stanley was noun
ted on horse hired from livery stable 10 the
c;tv wh,cl, he had never before rode. When
the races were over, Mr. Stanley mountedshis
horse and rode towards the Course, He bad
moi proceeded far before he encountered MI
Wise, who was riding in the same direction.
The two rode on side beside. exchanging no
words, but Wise directing angry g'ances at
Staply. !.
Two gentlemen who we're riding some dis
lance in The rear, one Of them Mr. Stafke,
and the other Lieutenant IN the army whose
name has escaped me, observed the position
of affairs, and one observing 10 the other that
.tbose gentlemen were riding too close togelh
or. and an encounter might ensue,' MIR Starke
nressed his horse forward and riding between
Mr.. Wise & Mr.. Stanley, accosted The former
and requested him TO ride on with him. Mr.
Wise did so, and Mr.. Stanley was left alone.
Afier little while Mr.. Stanley pressed his
horse on with view ofpassing MIR Wise and
compaoion. He came'up to them at muddy
place in the road, outside Of the gate ofthe race
eouree. His horse SHE'D at the POND or mud
middle in the centre of tho road, and IN so do
inc brought him in contrac, with Mr.. Wise in
such d, manner that his own foot was dIsenga-
eed from the stnrup, and Mr.. Wise was dis
composed in his seat.
MIR. Stanley was inthe act ofwheeling his
horse with view Of saying TO Mr. Wise that
the circumstance was accidental, when the lat
ter struck him heavily on The head with what
appeared to be rattan loaded at the END WIN
lead. The blow was go forcible as TO break
hs hat and had it fallen on The temple, mus,
have taken Slaney's life. For moment MIR.
Stanley was stunned by the blow, but recover
inn himself, he turned 10 Wise and said, You
cowardy scoundrel, you struck me from be-
hud.' Wise replied, making reference to Stan
lev replied thai he did 80 because he could
no, holp IT, Wise then SAID he (Wlse) had
already called him Stanley coward, and he
might put that blow together and make Inc
most Of it,. t *F.
The matter would have gone further. and
both were preparing TO dsmouut, when Mr..
Stark observed, gentlemen, this is no place
TO settle an affair Of this kInd,' Tor words to
that effecl.) To this Mr.. Stanley assented'
and rode on =
II is proper to remark. that Mr.. Stanley was
entirely unarmed, and had not even stick OF
! rattan. .......
1t ishardly to be presumed that an offence
| Of this nature can rest where it Is-ttme will
| show the result. 'u.

FROM RHODE ISLAND ALMOST A ROW.
On Tuesday evening, at Providence, Mr.. He.
zekah Willard, one ofthe Senators under the
Peoples Constitution, was arrested and car.
RED before Hon. Thomas Burgess, Chef Jus,
tice Of the Common Pleas Court, charged with
treason. Not long afler Mr.. W's arrest,
large crowd collected about the door leading
to Mr.. Justice Bowen's Office, where bis ex-
animation was going on. ltseems Mr.. vii.
lard was unable or Unwilling 10 give bail, 90 he
was told in such csse made and provided, 90
to jail. As soon as the word was passed to
the crowd, out doors that Mr.. W. was 10 be
taken toja there was an evident feeling Of
dissatisfaction, and when he appeared at the
'door'wl,h officer Chaffse, to step into car
rage which had been ordered up 10 carry him
10 prison, the crowd at once rushed up, and
there was decided movement made 10 take
him away from that officer. Don't let him
co. shouted one, 'he shan't CO. said another;
knock them down. said a third; down with
the Agerlno law said fourth; and there
were decided symptoms Of bloody struggle.
Mr.. Willard desired his friends ts desist from
violence, and stated that he was willing to 60
10 prison. With much evident dissatsfa cton,
he was finally permi,ted to depart.
About an hour alter the departure Of Mr..
Willard, the crowd in the streets not having
entirely dispersed, carriage drove up 10 the
Franklin House door, and oSt jumped both
Mr Willard and Mr.. Bebjamn Arnold, the
former having been baed Out by General Ed-
ward ]. Mallet, and The latter by other gem
tlemen- In a moment both we're surrounded
by large body OF friends, who formed pro-
cession, and aftsr three cheers, escorted each
to his home. The procession then returned 10
Ma,ke, Square, where, after speech Of a mo-
ment or two, from Mr. ParmeDter, the assem-
blage broke up, and all went peaceably and
quietly 10 their respective homes.

ELDER KNAPP. - Having recently
heard Messrs. Kirk and Maffii, while
preaching iE this city, TO very numerous
and highly attentive audiences, We Were

Elder Knapp, who will pass some weeks
here at the request OF his Baptist brethren

since, over.a societv~in W..arton, N. Y.
but has lately been ilinerating in various
sections ofthe country, and Obtained much

attended with signal success, and the re-
