TRAGICAL AFFAIR.

Mr.. ID. M. Hoyt, Lottery Broker in this place,
was shot yesterday morning about half past
O'Clock, as is represented and believed, by Mr. VIM.
X. Myers, who, according to report, accompanied
by his brother, Col. s. S. Myers and Mr. VIM S.
Burr, went into his Office, the former armed with
revolving pistol, for the purpose of making the as
sault MIR. Hoyt was twice wounded, one ball en-
terng his head Just above the eye and the other one
Of his thighs, and wounding also the other Late
yesterday evening he was alive but we understand
that there is very slight prospect of his surviving
his wounds.
The of this tragical affair has been the sub
ject of remark in this place for several days past
and the event therefore has excited no surprise here
The injury said to have been inflicted upon Mr.
Myers by MIR. Hoyt, in the delicate relation OF
life, was of such character to Justify, in the
eyes of all men, the most summary punishment
Ii Hoyt was guilty Of the act charged, sit was a
grleyous fault, and grevousy has he answered it.
We understand that after he was shot, Hoyt made
oath, before magistrate, that he was Innocent
On the other hand Mr. Myers had evidence in his
possession of his guilt, that would have been by
most men deemed conclusive.
Mr.. Myers and the two friends who accompanied
him made no effort to escape, and they arrest
ed at his house during the day. The case came on
before the Mayor last evening, and the parties were
bailed, each in the sum of $4,000, until Wednes
day next. They were ready to proceed with the
examination at once, but there being no evidence
ociOio le OouII lHcuipdllS tlet, TIE case was de-
ferred, for the purpose, it is understood Of procur
ing testimony. Messrs. James Lyons, Robert G.
Scott and Gustayns A. Myers appeared as counsel
for the accused. Richmond Whig Of Tuesday,
RICHMOND STANDARD.
Royt denies his guilt, and when he supposed
himself in etrcms, he declared that the last words
he uttered should be to proclaim the innocence Of
Mrs. Myers.-The public ascrbe these declarations
rather to the gallantry of the gentleman than the
real innocence of the lady.
This evening there is report in circulation,
how true we know not, that Mr.. Hoyt has made a
will and left Mrs. Myers legacy of $4,000.
1t is said that Col Pollard the father of the lady
arrived in the city to-day, just in time to find
fathers intended retrlbution anticipated by hus-
bands vengeance. This is not community where
the dearest rights and tenderest ties can be nfrng
ed with impunity.
-At the last accounts it was thought possible Hoyt
might recover.

The three ships composing the California Expe-
dition sailed from New York on Saturday morning
under convoy Of the U. S. ship Prebe. 1t appears
that they left in hurry, and some hours sooner
than expected, in order that the Colonel of the
Regiment might avoid collision with the civil au-
thorities. The Colonel had resisted legal pro-
cess which had been attempted to he served on him,
and the civil authorities were preparing to enforce
its service with the aid Of large armed posse come
tati.s, when the Colonel took the hint and departed
forthwith. The Herald says
The worst of the story remains to be told, for
some thirty of the volunteers and Captain of a
company, were left behind by the Colonel in his
hurry. These men, desiring to follow, chartered
the yacht Pearsall, lying at the Battery, and pro-
ceeded after the fleet with the intention of overiak-
ing their comrades, if possible, and taking their
chance in the promised land. A woman, too, was
left behind under very painful circumstances. She
had come ashore, leaving her husband and children
on board, for the purpose Of purchasing some ba-
ker's bread for her infant child, and while thus en-
gagged the expedition got under way and left her
behind. As might be expected, the poor woman
almost frantic at her misfortune. and was seen
walking up and down the Battery like maniac
This is the last OF this great expedition in this
locality. 1t has at length departed from our shores
bound to distant land, and in common with the
rest of our citizens wish them God speed.
