Qn Infernal Machine'. Wo thid ,day
heard from Colonel Haskell, at the coroner's

which occurred in thp lower part of Bleeker

summer, of sleeping with his window open.
This seemed to givo an opportunity to some
evil disposed persoas to attempt a robbery.
Tho engineer saw oij several occasions somo
persons lurking near. his promises, and sus
pecting their designs determined to set a
trap for them, llo accordingly constructed
an "infernal machine," formed of a board,
on which wero placed two bowip knives.
This board was made to fit into tho window,
and drawn back by a spring, the conductors
being two threads placed across tlte window,
which, if touched, would immediately cause
the machine to strike, against the iiitiuilcr.
lib then told tho peerson in (ha house that
he was going out of town, and fastened his
doors. Last night a man,, deeming thp

From the London John Hull, T

Since Wednesday last tho principal topic
of. conversation in the threatical world has
bqeii the furious!, attack on Mr. Van Am-
burjjh.vhoso exhibitions at Astley's Royal
Amphitheatre, of Hong,, 'tigers," leopards
and other animals of the forest, in the giand
zoological spectacle entitled the 'Lion Con
qucrr.r of Pomdeii' lias excited. within these
few days, so much public attention Mr. Van
Amburgh has been styled by the -philologos
of tho establishment as the brute tamerrand
certainly the appcllat'ioh is well applied, as
tho following daring feat will pro.ve, for nev
er was thp epprage or the presence of mind
of .man put to a severer test. . Frprn the in
formation .obtained by our reporter .yestcr-
uay, iro.m an auuicniic source it appears
that on V cdnesday last a rehearsal was co-
mg on in lho circus of tho theatre,, when
Mr. Van Amburgh wishing one of his tigers
to perform a. certain feat, which the animal
was utterly unable qr. unwilling to accom
plish, had recourse to severe corporeal pun
ishment, which chastisement ho inflicted
with a large horsewhip. Smarting under
me pain oi me lasn, tho animal became in
censed, and suddenly sprang upon Mr, Van
Amburgh, who instantly was hurled with
Violence to the ground, from tho strength
and weight , of his incensed assailant. Mr,
V an Alp.burijh who is of Herculean case.
and posessing extraordinary muscular pow
er, instantly, perceived the intention of the
animal, which was that pf tearing him to
pcices, and with the courage and presence
of mind whic'njfew ihen possess; seized his
loe by the lip of the lower jaV arid thus
pinioned him as a bull dog would on ox at
a bait.
A long and fearful struggle now ensued,
in the course of which both tho man and
the tiger rolled over several times. At
length Mr., Van Amburgh got the better of
ins loo uy iiirotving nun on his back at the
same time kneeling on his stomach and,
with his other hand', which was still now
unengaged; commenced .striking the pros-
u.uc .uiimai wnn ins clenched list, the blows
following in quick successionibver tlie head,
laco -and particularly the nose, until tlie
blood (flowcd from the subdued animal', who
here quivered under the grasp of hi's con
queror. a.1 length Mr. Van Amburgh, per
ceiving that he had completely overcome

ing himself at liberty, retired a short dis
tance from his master, and crouched down
as if severely suffering from the punishment

did nqt pay any attention to the struggle,
considering. .that it was a part to be played
in the evening; Until ihey saw him adminis-

moral triumph. Had the weapons employ
ed agapist him the perjury of PcgBeaty,
thq falsehood of John Stonebrake'r and

have regarded his defeat as a viclorv over
virtue. What means were left unemploy
