titled the "Lion conquerer'of Pompeii,' has
excited within these few days past so much
public attention. . Mr. Van Amburgh lies

equestrian establishment as the brute tamer,_
and certainly the appellation is well applied,

never was the courage or the presence of i

the information, obtained by our reporter,
.yekerday, from an authentic source It ap 7 *
pears that On Wednesday last a rehearsal
was going on in circus of the theatre,
when Mr,,: Van Ainburgh, wishing one of
his tigers to perform a certain feat which the
animal-was uterly unable _or unwilling to
accomplish, had recourse to severe, doporeal
punishment, whipli'clieStisementlie itiflict

with-violence to 'the ' ground, `from -- the
_strength_ and weight of his incensed assail
ant. Mr. Van Amburgh, whO is of ller
culean cast, and•possessing extraordinary .
muscular power, instantly perceived the in-.
-tendon. of -the -animal i - -which-was-that-- of
tearing hiM to pieces, and with the courage
and presence of mind, which few rnen . p,m,
sess, seized his foe by the lip of the lower
jaw, andthus pinioned hith as a bull dog
would an ox at a bait.. ' A long and fearful
struggle now ensued, in the- corirse of 1
. which both the' man and the- tiger rolled

kneeling on his stomach, and,--with his other'

suffering fro* the punishment he had re
ceived. It may here be proper to mention
ifie.performers (so we understood,) did not
pay any attention to the struggle, consider

to be played in the evening,'untilthey saw
him 'administering the severe chastisement
