We arrived here few days since from Spezzia,
where we lay week, and few days after leaving
Genoa. The object for visiting this port and bring
ing with US Commodore Strngham and broad blue
pennant, is to attend the shipment of group of
statuary, executed by Greenough. The figures,
told, colossal and the design of the Sou ptor
was to represent the progress Of civilization in the
Western portion of America The figures are, first,

her by the hair, and with uplifted tomahawk is
about TO cleave her skull but his arm is seized and
the blow withheld by western hunter, who, with Il

The group, told, in all their attitudes with the
expression deneated in their faces, from of the
most perfect pieces executed by any of our ar
lists The size Of the block of granite from which
this group was cut can be judged of when inform
you that the artist, in order TO get the same where
he wished 10 work upon it, had to have the entire
side Of his house torn down. 1t is the labor of bet
ter than three years; and trust when shipped that
it will safely reach the spot which it is intended
to stand, and long prove ornament to the public

guard house, where they remained during the night.
in company with about twenty other prisoners of the
opposite sex The next morning, these acomen acere
taken from prison and fogged, receiving from fifteen

were then subjected to the further ndgny of having
their hair cut close to the head, and drGmed around
the barracks, and off the military ground. The last

'Shooting q flzfksfess ~ and her Paranaour.
NAsHiseToa, June Is. An affair which. naturally,
creates much excitement and remark oceurre Is here
this afternoons, show ing melancholy criminaiitr and
funess on the part of wife. and leading TO
atalsfesult ltis supposed. About 5 o'clock, A. H.
j. Morrison, formally express agent, upon entering
his chamber discovered Erasmus Hester. clerk in
the store of Barnes & Mitchell, concealed with Mrs.
Morrison, his wife. He forthwith drew a revolver
and shot them both. Hester is morally wounded.
1t is thought Mrs. M will recover. Morrison was
arrested and committed. M.
TsECoND D:sPATCH-
jane Is, 6 P. NJ. There are various conflicting
reports Of this affair, but the reliable is
that Morrison, who had been married about six
months, suspected his wife, very young and hand
woman, of improper familiarity. He told her
that he should leave this afternoon, whereupon
she notified Hester of his supposed absence, who
subsequently called her at her lodgings in Penn
sylvanIa avenue.
Morrison, in the meanwhile, having watched
their movements, sPrang upon them suddenly, and
finding the pair together in her chamber, both in
disha5iile he instantly drew revolver and fired
three four shots, of which took effect upon
Hester the ball passing his body and endan-
gerng life. Another ball passed through the arm
and side of his wife, wounding her seriously but not
dangerously. Morrison Immediately gave himself
up to the authorities, and was committed. Hester
being informed by the physicians that he might not
survive but few inmates, made statement to
Capt. Goddard to the effect that he had criminal
intention, but failed to for the predicament
in which he was caught.
