If we cannot with any precision say, how Injig starvation will be in effecting its fatal end, we can say how much waste is fatal. The average loss which can be sustained is 40 per eont; some times the loss is greater, etipecially if the animal bo very fat; than, in the transactions of the ILinntran S iciety, a case is reported of a fat pig , which was harmed under thirty feet of chalk for ono linniired and sixty days; hie weight fel in that period no less than 75 For cent. Curiously enough, as an illustra tion of what was just said respecting time not being an index, fishes and rep tiles were found by Chossat to perish at precisely the same limit of weight as warm-blooded animals, but they requir ed a period three-and-twenty times,as long to do it in ; thus , if the experiment Cat performed. of starving• a bird and a frog (iring the warni weather, al though both will perish when thbir loss of weight reaches 40 per cent. the ono will not, survive a week, the other will survive a week, and the other will sur vive three-and-twenty weeks.

Daniel Nokia& Ate. " Wasruntrron, Feb. 27.—A lamentable affair occurred here this afternoon short- ILtefore three o'clock. Philip Barton Esq., U. S. District Attorney, was 17iire'd by three balls fired nearly oppo site the President's house, corner of Lalliyette square, at Dr. Emmell's door, by the Hon. Mr. Sickles, member of Congress from the Suite of New York. The whole neighborhood of Lafayette square has since been the scene of in tense exeiteraent,.thousands of persona cif 'Washington and .Goorgotow baring Visited it during tho afternoon. 'ohs dead boz.ly of Mr. Key was immediate conveyed to the Club'Muse, on Me6.l". 4 eirt place, at the east end of Lafayette square. Coroner Woodward summon ed a jury and held an inquest. *The evidence in substance was, that about 2 o'clock, this afternoon, Mr. Butter. worth and Mr. Key were talking to gether at Dr. Ilaynard's corner. The Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, of Now York, approached, and called Mr. Key by name; they were facing. each other.— Sickles said to Key, "You‘‘ . scoundrel, I von have dishonored me," and then fired. Simultaneously with this act Key mov ed irsEoch a manner as to indicate that ho was about to draw a weapon. Sic kles' had not, however, taken effect, and as he raised his arm to repeat the fire, Key seized him, and they tasseled to the middle cf the street,when Sickles becoming disengaged, fired a second time. The ball entered the right thigh of Key, near the main artery. Key then took shelter behind a treo box on the opposite corner, Sickles fol lowing, and firing a third time. It is supposed this ball entered his loft side, between the false ribs, and passed thro' the body. It appeared that during the intervals of firing, Key begged his as sailant "not to shoot—riot to shoot."-- A ball from a fourth tiro produced a braise on the body, as it glanced. Key foil and expired. It also appeared that when he was down Sickles put the pis toldo Key's bead and pulled tho trig ger, when the ,F.ap exploded. One of the witnesses testified that daring the exbitement Sickles remarked to gentle. men who came al) that "lie had die honored me, and defiled my bed," or words to that effect. Whilst standing near the body, Sickles said, "Damned rascal, is he dead ?" The oxcitement here became very high, crowds accummulating, when Mr. Sickles joined arms with Mr. Butter worth, and they proceeded to the resi dence of Judge Black, the Attorney General of the United States. Ile was there arrested by Capt. Goddard i , and conveyed to prison. Tho verdict is that " The said Philip Barton Kay came to his death from the effeota of pistol balls tired by the hand of Daniel E. Siekles." Hero follows a doscription of the wounds, arid closes with the words "Ceasing death in a few mo ments." Mr. Sickles' reaidonco is the house on the west end or Lafayette square, for merly occupied by Secretary Wood. bury. A.Docringer s pistol,ofone barrel, was picked up on the pavement. Some suppose it to have fallen from Key, but it was not loaded. ORIGIN OP THE TRAGEDY. From a Washington letter to the; New York Times, written on Sunday night, we copy the following : For months past the social world of Washington, always as quick to relish the details of private scandal as it is las in its judgments of those by wheat such scandal may be caused, has been busy with the names of Mrs. Sickles and M.r. Key. Their intimacy was of that marked and peculiar kM'd which, may perfectly welltonsist in the inno cence of absolute guilt—since while it was open to public observation, it was hardly concealed from Mr. Sickles him self, who pacing married his . wife, Miss 13agioli ' of New York, in her early youth, had always treated her with ex treme kindness and tenderness, and doubtless looked upon her relations with Mr. Hey as the mere expression of a girlish love of admiration, and of a vani ty delighting in the sense of power over a man of fine presence, graceful address, and a certain local renown in the Dis trict for high spirit, resolution and gal. !entry : During the 'whole of the last session of Congress the tall figure of Mr. Key was constantly to bo seen io President's square, opposite Mr. Sickles' Washing ton residence; and Mrs. Sickles was as constantly in his company at all places of public entertainment. In the interval of the Congressional recess Mr. Key made a short visit to New York, still without exciting any absolute suspicion of positive impropriety in the inind of Mr. Sickles ; although other friends of the unhappy lady; and among them her mother, repeatedly warned her of the fatal precipice on the brink of which she was permitting hersolt'to trifle. It wait hoped that the affair would come to an end of itself, and that one or both of the parties nearly implicated would per ceive the real drift of their conduct ILI time to avoid its almost inevitable con sequences. But on the re-assembling of Con and the return of Mrs. Sickles to W ington, Mr. Key's attentions, and' scandal consequent upon them, were revived with greater ardor than be fore. Mr. Key was a particularly noticeable man in point of personal appearance ; tall, well-formed, a mach more athletic man than Mr. Sick les, and .especially fond of exercise atru horseback. He rode an iron-grey horse-, and scarcely a day has passed 'since the return of Mrs. Sickles to tlumip k . tai, on which his tall figure, bils" riding-cap, well-trimmed mourispelke t and iron-gray horse might not have been seen two or three times in the costs* of the morning on the circuit ofProeldetitfs square, or at the door of gliokles house, which stands quite atone on ~the north side of the square, and is a verYecoa r spionotts build ngot white stucco. /4 wits but on Tuesday last., (so swift andiearfsi a dream does the whole story isenti) that on visiting /tire.
