A lo r supper the three rose from the table, and Mr. and Mrs. Hobbs went up stairs to the parlor, u here thev engaged in conversation. Major White repaired to his chamber overhead, mid read in it loud voice. This readinu' disturbed Mrs. Ifobbs, who was of a peculiarly nerwm temperatiieni, and she remarked to her hu-o-iml. ' do wish the .Major would cease." Fin. illy, in despair at the continuance of the rending, Mrs. Mobbs went, up -iairs and. In quired, ''Why, Major, what in tho world do von read so loud fori'" ''To exp ind inv lungs," w is all the reply which was voucli-afcd. and Mis. Hobbs returned down -tair-. Major While cam? after her down stairs with a pistol in his rhrht hand. Cliuglng to her huslia-iil, Mrs. Hobbs nereumed in tear: ''He's coming with a pistol." This cry seemed to hasten the movements of the Major, for he immediately fired from the stairs, the ball pawing slantwise .hroimh the, parlor door. Mrs. llobb.- dashed t'u; door to and leaned against it. Whir- had reached the foot of the stairs, and iired at ilie door from the outside. The ball p-iss,.,l through thi! door, struck Mrs. Hobbs. immediately behind the left breast, and passed across the bndv mid out through ihe rhiht arm. sin; id! b i de upon the Moor and expired almost in-tantly. II -r frantic hnsl'auil looked for a moment at, th" lreudftil spectacle, and I hen rushed b-ireheadcd from tlie house to the Filth I'olico Mat ion on Hedham htreet, near by, w here hi1 declared, "My wife is shot!" and went back to tin: house. .Ser peant Hartshorn followed closely, and entered the door a moment alter.

In reply to a question as lo the cause oi this dreadful net. he could onlv ay. "There is no cause that will justify what 1 have done," and seemed very much depressed in spirits. The accn.sed, Major White, is a man about, :?; years of age, ft feet Kb; inches hiirh, and weighs about VH) pounds. Ho has brown hair, a large reddish or sandy moustache, large light blue yes, a Unman nose, and is rather thin" favored than fleshy, and somewhat pale. His appear ance Is quite genteel. Ma jor White came here in lSftti from Nova Scotia. He studied law in the otflee of General William L. Burt, Postmas ter of Hoston, and afterwards practised law in this city. At the breaking out of tho war he became interested in the movement, and entered a volunteer regiment, and afterwards was in a olored regiment, of which he became Major. Sinee the w ar he has been out of health, and during the past winter was in Mississippi lor the benefit of his lungs. His acquaintance with Dr. Hobbs dates buck ten years, and before the war he transacted considerable business for the doctor. He has been on intimate terms with the family, and has boarded with the, doe tor for some time, nud was under treatment for his lungs. We arc not aware vet ns to what the contents of the lialf-dolrove'd letters found in his room were, or that thev had anything at all to do with the matter. Mrs. Hobbs, a uuni ber ol years ago, was Mrs. Laurie, and boarded at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Lame lu Avon place. Her maiden name, w e believe, was Miss Katie Sylvester. Dr. Hohb s Inrmerlv lived nt the corner of Dedham struct and tlliawmut ave nue with his lirst wile. This was probablv a dozen or flltecn years ago. We are informed that some tune after, Mrs. Laurie was house keeper for Dr. Hobbs previous to his marria"e to her. .IYs. Hobbs, it appears, was divorced from her first husband (Laurie), and Dr. Hobbs was also divorced from his wife, who is still living, an exemplary and respected lady While was in the South Boston insane Asylum about eight years ago, at which time he had made an attempt to take the life of Mrs. Hobbs ue pears to have been completely infatuated with her.

The New York Tribune of this mornlnginys: Mr. Delamntcr called on Marshal B.irlow yes terday to nsi ertain what was Intended to be done with the gtn. boats which had been seized. The Mar-lml tae him to understand that he had no disposition to interfere with the legitimate busi ness iif the works, but th.it the rcssels iu ques tion would not be allowed to leave the yards. The two Deputy Marshals, Winslow and Chrystie, have not yet returned from Mystic. The bouts there have been seized under the same conditions, as Hiomj in this harbor, the work bclnc still ullowcd to c-o mi bViui ,r in.w.i.o "Mystic have got their machinery In, and the oiuer 1 1 are sun on t tie stocks. .None ol the vessels will be. ready for siifornt least six week..

A despatch from Mystic. Conn., dated yester day, pays: The .Marshals, last, night, merely served papers upon the builder of the lilt-on Spanish gun boats, ordering them not lo leave port until' fur ther notice. The Marshals then cracked several bottles of champagne, and rode back lo New York. To-day work has been resumed upon the gunboats as though nothing h id happened. Three of the gunboats have already been launched, and were about to be towed to New York to receive their machinery. Six more are to be put in the water before the close of the week. The others will be ailoat some time next week. All these boats will re ceive their machinery at Delamater's, in vour city. Their boilers are all ready, and their engines nearly so. Two Spanish naval oilieers of high rank are said to have visited the ship yards in My.slic to-day. JMorc tlie keel-, of these boats were laid, ship building at Mystic had been very dull for "-cwral years, and when the contract was undo, the business of the town revived immediately. The previous dullness of shipbuilding had caused the workmcu to go away, and the contractors were unable to find nil tho shipwrights they wanted w ithout bringing them from other places. Mativ men came to Mystic from Long Island. New York, and Boston and added materially to the population, so that the place has worn a very lively aspect. Eight of the gunboats were contracted for by C. .Mallory A; Co., two by Ceorge (i reen man .V; Co., and live by Mill cv Crinncll. It is under stood that none of these panics will lose heavily shoidd the work 011 the boats be suspended, us they were shrewd enough to require partial payment in advance,, and other payments at stated intervals as the work progressed. Captain Wilson and the Deputy Marshal here have been requested by Marshal Harlow to Keep wntidi on the gunboats at Mystic, and sec that noiie of them are removed. How the Npniilt.li MiniMrr Kcrclvcil the News The JIt'ra'l's Washington despal-h says: The news of tho seizure of the Spanish gun boats by the Federal authorities at New York created quite a sensation when it reached the Spanish legation yesterday. The proceeding seems to have been as unexpected by the Spanisli Minister, M. Koborts, as was the imprisonment of the Cuban duntn some weeks ago to the iibiin sympathizers. M. Koberts was lirst notified of the seizure by a despatch from the Spanish Con sul at New York, which was received yesterday about, noon. He, immediately made arrange ments to proceed to New York, and left here last evening, accompanied by his lirst Secretarv of l egation. The members of the Spanish Lega tion are at a loss to know w hat prompted the proceedings on the part of Marshal Harlow, but they shrewdly suspect that it. was a set-up job between the Cubans and their new South American ally, Peru. It will be remem bered that when the Peruvian Covurn nieut purchased certain irou-elads from our Covernment, the Spanish Minister insisted that Peru should enter Into obligations not to use the iron-clads again.-t uuy nation with w hich the United States was at peace until they had hern lirst moored in Peruvian waters. Subse quently, when the Peruvians showed some delay in getting the Iron-clads to Peru and kept thei'u floating in the waters of the Caribbean Sea. the Spanish Minister called tlie attention of our Secretary of State to tlie delay ou the part d" Peru in taking the iron-clads home. At that lime, and indeed ever since, the Spanish Min ister has had an idea that these Peruvian iron clads would turn up some day as unwelcome visitors to the Spanish IJeet" lying in Cuban waters. Besides this, it will be remembered that when Pent recognized the belligerent rights of Cuba the Spauish Minister complaiued of that action to Secretary Fish, and insisted that as the United States hud undertaken to inter pose its friendly oflices in the quarrel be tween Spain and Peru, our Covornuicnt should take some action which w ould resent the conduct of Peru. M. Huberts regarded the action of Peru in recognizing Cuba as o-ie hostile to Spain, and it is probable that but for the fact that Spain had then and has had since as much on hand as bIic could comfortably attend lo, sin attempt would have been made to renew hostili ties w ith Peru, and punish her for her temerity. These facts, which were well known to the Pe ruvian .Minister, may have induced liltu to believe that the gunboats being built at New York for tho Spanish (ioverninent would probably be used against Peru as well as Cuba, and this may have stimulated him to lodge the complaint with tlie United States Marshal which led to their seizure. It was know n here some time ago that certain members of the administration were violently opposed to the building of the Spauish gunboats at New York, and it was darkly hinted that they would never be allowed to go to sea. It was stated by n Cabinet ollicer that tho President had been heard to say that those gunboats might be built, but they would never be allowed lo leave American waters. (Ol'MEItltlTF.IJS. The Newark, N. J., Adevrtisir of lust evening says: At 1 o'clock this afternoon United States Detective Ncttlcship, assisted by Detective Ceo. Williams, of the police force, arrested two meu at the Market depot ou a charge of being dealers In and "pushers'' of counterfeit money. They were taken before United States Commissioner Whitehead, and, on being searched, $1000 worth of counterfeit money was found upon them, con sisting of national bank tens and lives and frac tional currency. The two, it is alleged, have for some time been engaged lu the busiuess, and only last Saturday they succeeded in passing a quantity ol the spurious money in tho market, and to-day they were again preparing for a "pro lesslonai work, when they were pounced upon and secured as above Btated.

"in the absence of matter of more pressing mo ment, or of a more exciting nature, the public debt statement of Secretary Moul well last issued has pro okeil more comment than previous ones, and the feeling In very general that the omission of the Pu rine K.ulroad bonds from the general summary of tue Government liabilities is notli puerile and unwise ou the part of the Secretary. In referring to the matter here yesterday, and urging the equal obliga tion which these bonds Impose upon the Government, with other Issues, they were spoken of in the terms which, allowing the greatest freedom of discrimination between the two c asses of securities, t hey could at tho worst only be regarded by Mr. Boutwoll, the object being lo cmiiim! ui me strongest light rtie really lus'.giiitl eant character of the distinction. Hut the laef is this dill'crcnee is in reiilny no difference nt all, and has no existence, except in our own hopeful anticipations, 'l'he 1'ucltlc Railroad bonds are to all intents nud purposes (.overmuent bonds, as much us the live-twenties, ten-forties, or any other issue, and bear upon their face the promise of the Government to pay at maturity, with interest in the Interim, without liny rescrviii Ion or equivocation whatever, In Hie same full and complete language as oilier bonds. They were so regarded by all former secretaries, and by them Included in all statements of the public debt, and the distinction raised by the present Secretary, while not regarded as of suillcient moment to ail'ect, their status iu the market, yet it is looked upon by many as to a ceriain extent unjust to a very huge number of the creditor of thetlov crntiient, viz , the holders ol these bonds. IliH re fusal to accept them as security for the national bank issues has hud a more damaging etl'eet iu many quarters, this discrimination against a currency bond being looked upon as Indicating Ihe Secretarv to be at the same time a I. unionist ami possessed of but liltle faith in the prospect or au early resump tion of specie payments. "Assistant-Treasurer lluttertield to-day inaugu rated the programme of August purchases by buying on account of the Government tin' lirst t wo millions of the Kive-tweuiy bonds, lo he held subject to the future order of Congress. The aggregate amount offered was f 1,1 -.too, being only about one-half that tendered on former occasions, thus indicating the rapid reduction of the amount in tlie market. There is a tulure source of trouble in this depletion of the street in the matter of Government that is not apparently suillcicntly regarded in these days of easy moiiey. At present, these securities form the principal collateral upon which loans of large sums are readily obtainable ou call, of course numerous transactions occur in stocks, but they have never been regarded with the saiueiiivor. In Ihe event of any sudden pinch In the money market or severe disturbance of values on the Stock Kxchatige, with a short supply of Gov ernments, very many houses would tlnd it lilltlcult to make up their balances readily, aud much Inconve nience, w ith perhaps some loss, would result. "According to the terms of the sale, payment Is made in one-third greenbacks aud 'two-thirds na tional bank liote; thus, while the haiiK will gain lu their suppiy of currency by these purchases, the legal-tender .reserves will not. be very much bene litied thereby As a consequence of the small amount ottered Ihe Government, tho market for bonds to-day was generally strong and buoyant, towards the close of business on the Vive-twenties, although a little unsteady ou some of the issues before the opening of tlie nronosals. The Ten orticsand currency louds were firm and active through the day. with a lurtlicr advance in prices. The market closed strong at h o'clock at the following llgurcs: l uitcd Slates Cs, los.
