Assault and subseouent Death.

On the 18th inst, Shields Of Spencer co.,
KY, went to the house Of neighbor by the
name of William Hughes, and asked him to
step over to his house to render some medi-
cal aid to his (Shields) wife, who was un-
unwell Shields then proceeded deliberate
ly TO get butcher knife and made a furi-
Gus assault upon Hughes, stabbing him Sc.
verely in several places, In this bleeding
and painful condition he made Hughes get
on horse, and then forced his (Shields'l
wife to get up behind him, and started off,
ashe said 10 have the pair on horseback mar
ried. s..t
He forced them along for about three
miles when, from exhaustion, Hughes could
no longer sit on the horse. Some of the
neighbors interfered and stopped further pro-
ceedings. Hughes fingered along until
Tuesday, the 18th inst; when he died.
Shiels made his escape. The police are on
the look out for him, and it is TO be hoped
that he may be taken. 1t supposed jeal-
ousy was the cause of this assault. All par
ties were highly respectable, (2) and Hughes
regarded as a highly useful and esteemed
citizen.

Of design for the state Of Pennsylvania.
II represents the arms Of the state, and
the treaty Of William Penn, pnd is design
ed for the block Of marble contributed to

General Scott. He has given the great
military leader a most heroic expression Of
face, which will doubtless greatly please
his many admirers.
Powers's statue Of Eve has been pur-
chased by Prince Demidoff of Russia, at
the price Of f700, which is one hundred
pounds more than was to- have been paid

whom it was originally made. 'H'sf
Leutze is at work on his great picture
of Washington crossing the Delaware, Of
which We have formerly spoken. The
size Of this painting is the same with the
Of those in the rotunda Of the capitol

ably bc completed in the spring. when this
artist intends to accompany it to that
country, from which he has been absent
now about ten years.
Some beautiful frescoes have been dis
coveredby the workmen in pulling down

size, and another, supposed 10 be the Day
Of Judgment. s4f
M. Delaroche has lately completed q
second picture upon the subject of Nopo-

Sinv.Yy 0uestson-Entiro Revolution In
une Present Cabinet, with other Impor-
tAnt hssuits.
Our accounts from Washington last night, are OF
the highest Importance, leading US to believe that
full compromise Of the slavery question is not far
of, including, also, entire reconstruction of the
cabinet. Our telegraphic correspondence Is equal
ly interesting, as the speech Of Mr.. Webster This
Fpetc Is a remarkable and novel affair. We have
hardly rme TO digest It's principles, or its views or
e tendencies ana proposes. As far as We can I'M
deTstand the report Of this remarkable hlrrangue OF
the New England statesman, be lie in favor Of
erecting several slave States in Texas-he would
Gomit California as a State, and New Mexico as a
territory, without any reference To the Wilmot
Pfoviso, which he regards as nugstory and ridicu-
ous. In fact, the scsthing which Mr.. Webster
gives the " mot proviso and, indirectly, to the
free so sriiators Of the whig and democratic par
rss, ls the most severe thing Of the kind We have
ever red. Everything that we have predicted
and rTsfgured of the new AID remarkable posi-
tion ehout TO be assumed by Mr.. Webster, on ma
ionsl affairs has come out 10 the fullest extent.
The movement, however, OF change aud revo-
luuon aft cung both parties, the cabinet and future
events, Is only begun. Mr.. Calhoun led of ia the
beginning Of the week. and Mr. Webster followed
NJ with speech Of equal power, equal Importance,
and Tremendous energy, az the close OF IL. We
truly in the midtt Of revolution, produced by
Hose two great statement, that probably VIII not
only seite the slavery question for years to come,
but sst,le the present cabinet in pos,isn that it
will never be heard Of hereafter. We refer our
readers to the speech and our correspondence for
full particulars en- these views.
Archer mporian, point Is the belief that the
present cfsis will bring about not only an entire
