A MURDER AT WASHINGTON.

Wasurnoroy, February 27, 1859.—This forenoon Dan. Sickles, member of Congress for the city of New York, shot Philip Barton Key, Attorney General for the District of Columbia, and son of the ‘author of the “ Star Spangled Banner.” Mr. Key lived but a short time. The affray took place in the vicinity of the President’s house, in which neighbourhood the parties reside, The reported cause of this sad tragedy is femule infidelity. Mrs. Sickles is very like Md’le Piccolomini in personal appearance, and report says has been a much indulged and petted wife.

According to report, Mr. Sickles becoming convinced of the truth of certain scandalous rumors involving his wife, resolved to redress his wrongs.

At about 2 o'clock this afternoon, proceeding from his residence, near the President’s uouse, to the south east corner of Lafayette Square, in the same neighborhood, where Mr, Key was engaged ip conversation with Mr. Butterworth of New York, he charged Mr. Key with having dishonored him and destroyed his domestic peace, and shot him with a revolver. One of the balls entered the left side of the body, and passed through to the corresponding point on the opposite side, lodging under the skin.

Another shot took effect in the right thigh, near the main ‘artery, when Mr. Key fell, imploring Mr. Sickles not to kill him. The third shot was iu the right side, but glanced from the body, inflicting only a bruise, Death ensued in a few’ moments. The body was taken into the National Club House, when a jury of inquest was held, who after an ex- amination into the circumstances, of some hours’ length, re- turned a verdict, merely stating that the death of Mr. Key was from the effecta of pistol shots, as above stated, fired by Sickles.

The premises of the Club House were crowded with people anxiously enquiring all the circumstances of the event.

After Mr. Sickles had killed Mr. Key, he repaired to the residence of Attorney General Black, where he was advised

Capt. Dundas was formerly in the Rifle Brigade, and was some time stationed at Halifax; he also served at Bermuda, and in the Mediterranean. He retired from the

The facts which led to the tragedy will then probably judicially transpire. The in- quisition of the Coroner was merely with reference to the causes Which produced death.

Wasuinetos, Feb. 28.—For more than a year there have been floating rumors of improper intimacy between Mr. Key and Mrs, Sickles. They have from time to time attended partics to the opera, and rode out together. Mr. Sickles has heard af these renorts, but would never credit them uasil | Thursday evening last. On that evening, just as a party was about breaking up at his house, Mr. Sickles received among his papers an anonymous letter, which informed him of the infidelity of his wife, of her intimacy with Mr. Key, stating all the details of the manner of their meetings, and naming the place of rendetvous. The letter wasso plausible in its statements, and gave such precise directions for the detection of the parties in their clandestine meetings, that Sickles decided to investigate the facts. Accordingly he placed the letier in the hands of his most intimate friends, who last evening possessed themselves of the evidence satisfactory to Mr. Sickles that Mr. Key had rented a house of a negre in 15th street, which he used as a place of ren- dezvous with Mrs. Sickles.

On Sunday morning, being in great agony of mind, Mr. Sickles, in the presence of two witnesses, charged his wife of having had illicit intercourse with Mr. Key. At first Mrs. Sickles declared her innocence. Mr. Sickles then paraded before her the evidence of her guilt. She became overwhelmed with the sudden arraignment, fainted, and finally confessed her guilt. Mr. Sickles was not satisfied with this verbal confession, but desired Mrs. Siekles to make confession in writing. She complied. She also informed him how often _Mr. Key had been in the habit of seeing her, ani his mode of telegraphing to her by a wave of his handkerchief when he wanted her to come out.

Mr. Sickles’ residence is No 7 President’s square, in view of Jackson's Statue, which is opposite the White House. In full view of Mr. Sickles’ residence, on the other side of the square, in 154 street, is the Washington Club House, where Mr. Key frequented, and from the windows of which Mrs. Sickles says he was in the habit of telegraphing her with his white handkerchief. If Mr. Sickles was absent, she was in the babit of returning the signal.

About two o’clock Sunday Mr. Sickles saw Mr. Key come out of the Club [louse and go round the square and walk past his (Sickles’) house two or three times. He made the signal for Mrs. Sickles once or twice, when Mr. Sickles armed himself with a five-bore six-inch revolver and two | single barrel Derringers, which carry each a ball double the size of the revolvers; went out of his house and walked down past the Presidents’, and met Mr. Key. The latter greeted the former, and was about offering him his hand, when Mr, Sickles, refusing to take Mr. Key’s hand, said: “ Sir, you have dishonored me—prepare to die !”

Mr. Key started back a few feet, exclaiming: “ What for ? what for? don’t! don’t!” and made a movement as if seek- ing for a weapon in his left breast, but which proved to be an opera glass, which he threw at Sickles.

Mr. Sickles then drew one of his Derringers and shot Mr. Key, who staggered some. Mr. Sickles shot at Mr. Key again, with his second Derringer, which sent Key reelin against a tree. He cried out “ murder,” when Mr. Sickles fired a third time, from his revolver, and Mr. Key fell. Mr. Sickles, believing him dying, desisted, and did not fire again,

Mr. Samuel F. Butterworth, Superintendent of the Assay Office, New York, was conversing with Mr. Key, when Mr. Sickles came up, and witnessed the affair, and then went with Mr. Sickles to the office of United States Attorney General Black. He expressed a desire to surrender himself, and accordingly seut for the Mayor, the Marshal of the District being absent, and, in company with that magistrate, rode in his carriage to the District Jail.

Dean Sin,—In your paper of this week you give me fur’ more eredit respecting the affray in Pownalestreet, than is my due. I was not at the commencement, but when thera I assisted the efforts of others to the best of my abilities and’ powers; but the persons I saw most active, aud who inter- fered at great personal risk, were the Rev. Mr. Phelan, the. High Sheriff, Messrs. Stephen and Arthur Swabey, Monk, Alley, Lockhart, MeKenzic, and subsequently, Mr. Hales, J.P., and Pope Welsh ; and it is most likely that in such a crowd there were several others (besides the Police) who did not come under my observation, and whose names I do not oinit intentionally; but I write this to disclaim the right of so prominent a mention where there were so many others better entitled to a public recognition of their exertions,

I am, however, of opinion that when such unhappy occur- rences break out, no one, far less a Justice of the Peace or corporate officer, should decline to use his best efforts to preserve the peace.
