 From tke Nes0- York Spectator. a$@ KEY WEST, May 9s.

 Departed this fife, at Key w est, on the a4th inst. William Allison McRea, Esq. late Unit ted States Attorney tor the Southern Judicial District of Florida, int the eSth year Of his age.

 While walking down one of the principal streets of Key West on Sunday evening last, he received 2S wounds from . double barrel. led gun, shot from the window of an adioin. the Mexican Navy; from the effects of which he survived not more than two hours. Be-

 tween Hawkins and himself. there had exis-

 ted personal difficulty for some months

 and 1t had been intimated to him, that he

 would be attacked; but, believing that he was

 contending with an enemy too honorable and

 brave to avail himself of an assassin's cover,

 he refused (thOugh urged) to resort to the le.

 gal means to prevent 1t; always supposing that

 he would be able to resist an open assault

 which he might receive. Thus has he fallen

 sacrifice to his own honorable feelings, and

 to the dastardly act of u coward, but he still

 lives in the memory of his friends, and tn the good feelings of the community. ar's

 In addition to the foregoing painful narra. tive, we learn that Hawkins and the deceased have fought two or three dnels. during the ex. istence of the fsld. They last met some where in the West Indies, and the deceased was then wounded by Hawkins, in the leg.- But his thirst for the blood of his victim was unsuitable. One story --and certainly the most

 charitable-is, that Hawkins has been insane

 these 5 years.
