THERICmMOND TRAGEDY.

The eastern papers are tiIlen with this
melancholy affair, which may be summed
up as follows, judging from all circumsran-
ces that have yet come TO light.
A Mrs. VIM. R. Myers fell in love with
MIR. Hoyt, broker a Richmond, wrote him
a note, and asked an interview, which ac-
cordngly was had, and they kept up both a
correspondence and personal meetings. ill
it became known and talked Of by the COM
munity. Major Pollard, the father of The
lady, waited on Hoyt and required him TO
discontinue bis visits, which he promised TO
do, but did not. Soon after this, WIN. R.
Myers and two friends went TO Hoyt's room
(who had just been required to sign an ar
ticle compelling him to leave Richmond,
which he would not do,) and while there,
Myers shot lIoyt, from which wound he died
in eight or Ten days, protesting all the time
that Mrs. Nj. was totally innocent of any Of
fence against her marriage vows Whatever.
Mr.. NJ. has lately had his trial for the muir
der OF Hoyt and is committed to jail In
the trial, Mrs. Myers letters have been BY
some means obtained, and published; they
show the most ardent affection for Hoyt, as
we'll as the same for her husband VIM. r.
Myers! Richmond has been all excitement
upon this subject, and The father of Mrs. Nv
ers testified in court, that all these vagaries
have been put in his daughters head by read
ing The pernicious works of Bulwer, Eugene
Sue, &c. Mrs. Myers has been reported
maniac and as having committed suicide by
taking Iaudanum, the last of which has been
cont radicled.
Since the above was in type we learn that
Mr.. Myers who shot Hoyt, has been acqtted,
and all further proceeding against him
quashed.

An Execution on board u. 8. Squad
RON Off the Coast of Mexico.
OFF VERA CRUZ, Sept. 25. 49,

OtF fERA ORUZ, Sepl. 20, 1910.
On the 9Th inst was one oil the edited wit,
nesses of the supremacy OF the law over nat
ural right.
A sailor named Samuel Jackson, belong
ing to the sloop ST. Mary's was hanged at
the fore yard arm, pursuant to the sentence
OF Court Martial, before whom he had
been tried for striking man named Taylor
one of the officers OF that ship.
The Preparations for The execution were
numerous and solemn, regular progfa mme
having been issued by Commodore Conner.
and circulated through the squadron several
days previously.
All labor in the different vessels was for
hidden for The day, and the crews were d.
rected 10 assume their holiday attire. AT
| A. nj. the signal, prepare to execute
the sentence OF The Courl Martiai,' was dis
played at the miZen of the Cumberland,
when yellow flag was hoisied a The fore
yard arm of the ST. Mary's. The officers
and crews of all the vessels at anchorage
were then mustered on deck, and disiribu-
led in such places as would best enable them
TO take as much Of the spectacle in view as
possible. He.e they were kept on the tip
toe of anticipation for more than half an
hour, when The same signal that before
mentioned was hoisled, without the ''prspar-
atiVe,' and the curiosity Of The spectators
was very materially enhanced thereby.
In few moments more the victim made
his appearance on the ''topgallant forecastle"
OF the ST. Mary's. attended by two or three
officers and the Master-at-Ams of the ship,
and by Rev. Fitch W. Taylor, Chaplain of
the Cumberland. Stepping The forecas-
lie railing on the scatfold which had been
erected there for the occasion, the prisoner
seated hlmself on the railing, apparently on
account OF nervous deficiency. The ma
chinery fitted up for the principal act was
simple, but strong and effective. A thick
rope was rove through block at The yard
arm, leading along he yard into the foremost
where il rove through another block, and was
made fast 10 a weight of near fou. hundred
pounds.
Alter some additional minutes of suspense
had been inflicted upon the thousands OF
spectators, fish issued from the gun over
which The scaffold had been raised, and al
the same instant human form was seen fy
ing in curved line through the air, with as
ton shng velocity. When The body reached
the yard-arm, SO great had been The impulse
that The check threw it perpendiculary into
The air, feet upward, and rebounding against
the ''lore Ills,'' it passed over Tie fore brace
split the hallar block, and then, after few
violent vibrations, il assumed The usual dang
ling attitude of hanging man.
The operation, have no doubt, has ad-
vanced The interests and safety of society,
and exered vast influence upon
civilization in general. In what manner, how
ever, cannot say This is the first man
that has been killed, on the part of the Ma
Wy, during the war.-not a Mexican having
received the slightest injury.

o. The news brought by the Caledonia,
IT issaid is unexpectedly favorable, and in a
commercial point of view highly important.
The advance in the prices of breadstuffs is
general and material. But it is conceded that
these prices cannot be maintained. Howev-
er this may be, dealers cannot be loo careful
as the market is evidently taking course
similar TO the one which proved so disastrous
last season.
The actual advance al New York on Gen.
esee -four was 75c; at Philadelphia so; at
Baltimore, on Howard street, IS; and at GIN
cinnati go.
The New York correspondent of the Bal

the private advices from Liverpool were con-
Trajectory. Iftrue, this will have an impor-
tant bearing on the market.
