The oLtrusiotis of the father upon the divorced wife aud mother, it is said, in duced the son to shoot Lim. 'i he New Yotk Tribune writes on tho terrible tragedy as follow : At about .45 l ,M , en Monday, young Walworth, who is of rather flight pby- siqtie, stepped bn.-kly luto the ofUco of j it on account of family troubles." On tho Sturtevant House, at Broadway and recovering fiom his surprise, tbe.Ser 'l'weiity -liinth stret t.

Advancing to the counter he procured a pen, and, after regime ling himself in a somewhat bold hanJvtiiiierr as " Frank II. Walworth, I Saratoga," lie a-kt d the cleik in attelid I anee for a room. He was assigned room ! No 267, on the rear pai t . of the third I tloor, and, cxpres.-iug a dei-iie to retire lor a Tew moments, bo was shown to the apartment by an attendant at once. . Af ter an absence of fifteen or twenty min utes here-appeared, and passed leisurely through the ciiTice to the street. Walking to Fourth avenue, he rode in a car to Fifty-fourth Etreet, where he alighted. Proceeding immediately to the boarding house ou Fourth avenue, two doors north of Fifty-fourth street, he ring the bell j and inquired of a servant if bis father, who reeidrd in the house, was at home. Being told that his father was absent, he departed quietly, after leaving a sealed note requesting his father to call at the hotel "to try and settle some family mat ters" with him. Returning to the hotel, he sauntered through The office, and, soon after supper, retired lo his room, where he remained unnoticed during the night. At about 6:10 A. M. yesterday, the fa ther, who was considerably above medi um height, of rather portly figure, and remarkably fine muscular development, entered the office of the hotel, and asked the nijrht clerk, who Lad not yet been i , relieved, tft'send his 'card up to his eon's room.' 'A bell loy took the card to the room, and, returning immediately, said that he bad been requested to "ehow the gentleman up." Following the boy, who agaiii ascended the stairs, the visitor was admitted promptly to the room, the door of which was opened in response to a few light taps. Tho father stepped unhesitatingly into the room, and the door closing instantly, the bell-boy re turned to the office. ' About ten minutes later, the steward and the night watch man1 of the hotel, who were in an upper hallway, heard the noise cf four pistol shots, in quick enccession, proceeding from young Walworth's room. They ran to the room in great haBte, reaching it almost ' simultaneously - with Josiab Moorehead, a guest, who occupied an ad jacent room, and who had also been alarmed by the shots. Ou reaching the room they found the door ajar, and push ing it open, they rere startled by the discovery of the lifeless body of the de ceased, lying in a pool of blood, about three feet from the threshold. At first the men seemed transfixed, but, after a brief moment of inaction; they looked about for the assassin, ' who had, how ever, disappeared.,;: The watchreea and several guests who had meanwhile as sembled remained with the body- of the murdered man, While the steward ran to the office to alarm the clerks, but, upon reaching the office, he found that tbey had already bee told of the tragedy by yooag Walsworth himself, who was just passing to the street whan the . steward arrived.., . , ..

Among several letters taken from an inside pocket of j his coat was the one which bad been left at tho boarding house by Lis son. The envelope, which was suturated with blood from a wound in tho left breast, was addressed iu the name of the de ceased. Four wounds, two of which were of a probably fatal nature, were found upon the body. One of the wounds was in the left and another in the right breast. Another was near the right temple, just under the cheek bone, while the fourth was in the left ar:r. The wound of the left breast is helieved ' to have entered the heart, and that near the right temple is supposed to extend to the brain. A fter the examination the body was removed to an undertaker's in Carmine street, where the autopsy was performed by Dr. Marsh., Deceased was a strong', muscular, healthy man, about foity-tbree years old. The bullet, entering the light side, was found lodged in the ribs under the shoul der, the bullet entering the left arm was found flattened on the bones of the arm, which were completely shattered ; the bullet which entered near the right eye could not be found without taking the head to pieces, and, as it did. not touch the brain, was not long searched for. -After some hours the bullet which enter ed the left lung "aud caused death was found embedded iu the forty-second col umn of the vertebra:. .. , . .The inquest will be held on Friday morning.

' When the news of the death of Mans field Tracy Walworth was i communica ted to Chief Justice Barbour, of the Superior Court, he immediately adjourn ed the Court, which be was then bidd ing.

After General IIaruins death, bis wife was married to Chtncellor Walworth, being his second wife, so that the deceas ed had married tho daughter of his step mother. The old Walworth place, at Saratoga, was left to ihu Chancellor s presented toe institution witn a rare col lection of shells and fossils (things which he did not own). These effusions in print had a certain appearance of decen cv but were either slanderous oro Lerwise intensely annoying. Ho Lad also made tLreats of violence. As to the lad. Lis uncle, the Roman Catholic clergyman, being about to sail for Europe, Lad offered to take him with Lim, aud tLc boy Lad agreed to go, pro vided lie coold settle np satisfactorily a matter in New York. lie accordingly came to this city and went to his father's residence, but not fiuding him in left a note, asking to sec him at the Sturtevant House. His father received the note and weut to the hotel at abont 6:30 A. M. yes terday, before, indeed, . the night watch had been relieved. Word was eeut to tbe sou that his father had arrived, and the eon asked to have him sent to his room. The son's purpose was to get his father to premise not to molest his mother during bis absence. While they wefe talking together the son saw bis father make a movement toward his pocket, which led Lim to suppose that bis father was drawing a pistol, and. this seemed tbe more like, since his father bad so often made threats of violence. He ac cordingly drew a revolver, which he Lad loaded for safety in case of an emergen cy, and fired. His fatLer continuing to advance Le shot a second time ; and as he still advanced and put Lis Land on the boy's shoulder, he fired the third time. This, the' judge said, was the boy's story, from which it would appear that he acted in self defence. He would seem to Lave thought,' too, that he shot only three times, though the reports re presented that there were four. Morris Phillips, of the Home Journal, who was a friend of the deceased, and to whom "Warwick'' was dedicated, made statements essentially as follows : The deceased was born about the year 1S30, probably at Albany, and was a sou of ex-Chancellor Walworth. He was edu cated for the legal profession, and after being admitted to the bar, practised in his father's office. ' He soon, however, began to turn bis attention to literature, and did his first writing for the Home Journal. Iheu followed the publication of hia different novels : " Lulu," ' Hot spur," "Stormcliff,;' " Warwick.". "Dela pline"j.and ''Reverly.". -t "Warwick" was probably, his most successful work, and it; was from tha - publication of this that his popularity as a writer dated..

He was residing in a suit of rooms on Fourth avenue, two doors north of Fifty fourth street, just previous to his death.

A Paris correspondent writing on May 10th says : Scientific Paris Las a new sensation, l'et, if all be true that is told of the wonderful discovery whose history I propose sending you. it deserves a higher titlo than that of a mere sensa tion. It will revolutioniza the condition of mankind ; raUe the poor to a condi tion in life where the sweat of their brow will bring them at least the proper and full reward of toil ; prevent the bicker ings of traflic whence now spring the causes fur which nations go to war ; turn our political economy into the channels of something like a common care for the ! common interest : and break down many , . .. . ... . of the social barriers which Lave nothing except their ago to recomm-.-nd them. This is saying a great deal, but the cve::t will carrv out my assertions. 1 he first' requisite of mankind is food, and if that cau bo provi led at all times iu sufficient quantity aud quality to sustain life with out extraordinary labor exposure and to perils, it must be conceded that all I have claimed is "true. If, moreover, tho food I have spoken of is of the bet quality, and exactly ad apted to the different ages and varied pliytk-.il institutions cf the race, then the greatest triumph of the age has been achieved. And all of this Professor Gucrctte claims to be true of his discovery. It seems that the idea occurred to the learned scientist twenty years ago, that Le might experiment with animal and vegetable food so far as to discover the primordial elements needed to sustain and foster life. He argued that as man is sustained by the flesh of animals and by vegetables, it might be possible to resolve these articles of diet into their elements, discover the sources from which they drew their life, and by judicious combination ' of their most nutritions qualities and the throwing- out of that which was useless and harmful, produce an artificial species of food which' woufd supply every need of tho race. He sought what Huxley would call the pro toplasm of life, and it is claimed and ad mittcd by a number of his learued coun trymen that he has found it It has been, as I said, the work of twenty yeais to perfect the discovery, lut two thou sand years would not have been wasted had they been successfully applied to the same purpose. With an increasing supply of food for tho race always at hand with slight expense of labor, the miseries of the poor, and the necess ities of crime are largely decreased. The slaughter of animals and the animal destruction of the vegetable world is done away. science gives us manna with a large Laud, and the one great need of the world is' supplied from an unfailing source The gentleman to whom this discovery , waa occupied by a lady and the other by is due, is well-known in the City ofja Chinaman. Evidently the lady dii! Lyons, where he holds the chr.tr of j not relish the presence of the Chinaman, Chemics in the University. He was born at Auvergne in 180S, graduated in medicine at the universities of Paris and Naples, was appointed a lecturer at the former institution in 134 1, and was pro moted to the professorship of chemistry in the University of Lyons in IS45. Since that time be has made the lat!r city bis abode, visitiDg Paris only at rare intervals. He was pointed out to me one day last week on the Rue des" Ital ieus, and I was told to take special no tice of Lim, which was the easier done as he walked with eyes beet down and evidently engaged in deep thought This, I am told, is his custom but at home he is seldom seen on the streets, as he confines himself closely to Lis labora tory, when not occupied with his pnblic duties. He is small, gray - haired, with broad forehead and deep set eyes (their color I conld not see), and a stubby moustache, half concealing a firm mouth. Like most scholars, he is somewhat stoop shouldered, and walks with a shuffling gait ' As a chemist, no man in France ranks higher, though he is ' little known ontside of Lis own scholastic circle, for the reason that he has never published anything. His life has been devoted to the discovery he is now perfecting, aud that promises to bring him such laurels as no other man of his age has achieved. There has been no public exhibition yet made of the food which Prof Guer ette has prepared, and I can speak of it only from the description given by scien tific men, who are enthusiastic in praise of it. They have been made acquainted RATES OF ADVERTISING.

Thoso who have eaten it (and my informants are medical men of Ligh repute) say that its effect on the system is magical, and ' its tastfl beyond description ui words. In their enthusiasm they go etill further, and say that M. Guerette's discovery will do more to banish alcoholism and other per verted tastes, and restore the system to' its normal condition of healthy appetites and sound digestion, than all the discov eries of all the medical men who have ever lived. With others, I laughed heartily at tho idea when it was r3t broached, but a second and more sober thought has made me lend a readier ear to what' has been told me. I remembered the habits of tho clay-eaters of North Caroliua, and the tribes along the Amozon River, who eat a soft, highly t-cented c! iv that is found upon its banks, and are seemingly as well grown aud m strong a those wLa live on flesh aud fruit. If this could be done by barbarians, I' reasoned, why ehould not civilized m m be able to derivo their food from the same source t The animal is fed by vegetable life the vegetable by the subs' lance and grass of the earth hence it is reasiiacte, as Pro fessor Guerette argues, to seek the ir.eau of sustaining life at the source whence ! they (Traw their sustersnce.

Is it so surprisingly won derful after all ? Artificial vapor has turned the wheels of the locomotive aud lifted the lever that prepels the steamer. An' artificial flash of lightning sends messages under the ocean and across continents. And now artificial food is i extracted from nature's laboratory hy processes that, as in the abivt cares, an nihilate time. That id a'l that Las been done. But it means a physical, social, but economical revolution. "AilELAtcs!" Capf. Swan, of Sun Francisco, eeud; t,,e following hern, est from one of the.

But John hadn't heard of the nonians' righti movement, and at once proceeded to crawl iu and stretch himself by her side, wiih his head on a little bundle of his own.

The lady, as eoon as she discovered that she Lad a bedfello.v, got up, a littla wildly, and started for the next car, to the infinite amusement of the passengers, who Lad been watching the little scene with some interest. John took no notice of tho fun he had created, bnt went L sleep with the whole bed to himself.
