France. T The Mir-Is'.Er Of Agriculture ...
FRANCE . T The Mir-is ' . er of Agriculture and Commerce has iprespresented ( o the Alterabl y the bill relative to the J Ass : Associations for Mutual Relief , as proposed and cdrai drawn up hy the President of the Republic . This 1 pro ] project differs a gqod deal from tha » . which has j aire already come undsr the consideration of the Assem-1 My , bly . it introduces the intervention of the governl mei ment in the foundation and davelopemen t of these i ass associations . The donation propwed by the bill is 1 , ( 1 1 , 000 , 000 s . p ? r annum , comprised in the ordinary est estimates of the Minister of Comnrcrce , and forming
a e a special fund for relief and the basis for contrihutio tions of a voluntary kind . Theobjfctof the new as ; associttions is thus defined : —* Relief , to optralives re rendered unable by wounds or sickness to pursue th thtir ordinary avocations , and trie defraying the fane nersl expenses of deceased members of the awockti lira . ' Three systems are concurrently suggested for tl the benefit of the working ctesses—one , tfee creation oi of a savings bank , where the operative shall deposit fc ins savings to support hits -alien out of employment ; ¦ 8 -8 cause de retrains , formed also of his savings , and d destined to his maintenance when rendered unable 1 fay old age to earn his livelihood ; andawaisse des * zecours muluelt , in itoc event of illness , or wounds , i incapacitating him for labour . With respect to the
I first , the state leans the operative at perfect liberty i to transfer his savings to such a fund or not , as he 1 nay think proper . As to the second , the state ini duces him to contribute to ite support by the at-1 traction of premiums after a certain specified period . In the third the action of the state is more sensibly fell . Every association of mutual relief must , with a vies to a legal authorisation , have one co-associate for every four operatives belonging to the association , who will perform a portion of the duty without participation in its benefits . The government engages to obtain the intervention of all over whom it has influence in every class of society . In order to give greater weight and authority to the establishments the President of the Association will be named by the Presdeat of the Republic .
The Court of Cassaion rijicted on Thursday the appeal of the members of the Association , termed , * la Solidarile Bepublicaine , ' against a decision of the Inferior Court , by which they were sent for trial before the Coartof Assise for Paris . A letter from Four , of the 12 th inst ., states that M . Annand Marrast is canvassing the department of the Ariege , where a vacancy has been created in the representation by the conviction of M . Pilhes , a representative of the people , before the High Court of Justice at Versailles . Accounts from Perigwux of the 7 th inst . mention that a captain of the National Guard of that town has been condemned by the Court of Assize of the Dordozne for having with a number of Socialises cried' Vice la guillotine . '
The « Moniteur * contains a decree by which the last sis battalions of the Mobile Guard are to be disbanded on the 31 st inst . If we are well informed , says the' Constitntionnel ' government intends to subject to a kind of military organisation a certain number of functions in the lower ranks of the administrative hierarchy , such as those of rural postmen , gardet champetra , cantontiters , and some others whose nomination being within the attributes of the local authorities , places tbe nominee in a situation of isolation which deprives Mm of all kinds of advancement , whatever may be his intelligence or good services . In future government wilt dispose of the greater number of these placs in favour of old soldiers .
This is a serious measure in pursuance of the centralising system . Louis Napoleon is evidently bent in carry i ng ont his plan of gathering all the reigns of authority into bis own hands . We shall soon see nominations of gamekeepers inserted in the ' Moniteur * —Snooks ( I know no equivalent in French ) to be gamekeeper , « ce Snooks , dismissed . A letter from Toulouse , of tbe 15 th inst ., announces the acquittal , by a jury of that town , o ? MM . Janot , Luset , Berruyer , Villa , Foust , Forcade , Jfaiilard , and Salfes , prosecuted for having conspired to overthrow the government .
A letter from Chalons sur-Saone states that the acquittal of the political prisoners of that town , pronounced by the Court of Assizes of the Cotzd'Or , gave rise a few days back to some disturbance . Some of the men who were acquitted being ex pected by tbe railway a number of persons collected abont four o ' clock to receive them . Only one of them , however , arrived , but be was greeted with loud cries of Fire la Republique Democratique et SocialeJ The crowd shortly alter separated , but re-assembled about eight o clock in the evening ,
singing revolutionary songs , and crying out A lias fej Blancs ! Yivent les Houges ! The Sub-Prefect , the Procnreur of the Keputiiique , and the Colonel of the 22 nd Regiment of the line , immediately acted in concert , and the crowd was dispersed Calm was restored , and it -was supposed that the town again enjoyed tranquillity , when about mid- , nig ht cries of A las les Blancs ! Tieent les Routes ! were heard near the Lyons gate . The men so offendi-. g were arrested , and the town of Chalons then remained quiet for the rest of the B'ght .
The'Courrierd'Auvergne ' states that an attempt at riot was made last week atTtevol ( AAlier . ) With cries of Vise la Rep'ihlique Sociale , A las les Blancs ! A judicial inquiry into the matter has commenced . Taxation . —During tbe past week there has bean protacted debate in the legislative Assembly , mx tbe excise tax on spirituous liquors , which , it will be reco llected , was repealed by the Constituent Assembly . After an animated discussion , the Chamber came to a division on Monday , and decided to tale into consideration th ? clauses of the Ministerial bill , for re-iuipusing the tax for a limited period , by 445 to 229 .
A letter from Belle Tsle states that at the departure of the last detachment of the prisoners who had been amnestied , the remaining prisoners broke out into open revolt , because tbey also had not lh < benefit oi the amnesty . They shouted * Vive la Republique democratique et sociale , ' and begun to bieak down the woodwork of their rooms . Colonel Pierre , in command , called out the garrison and arrested ten of tbe ringleaders . The other prisonersthen discontinued their riotous proceedings . One of the ten who had been arrested attempted to make his escape , was shot dead .
ITALY . Rome , Dec . 7 . —M . D . Corcellus has returned to Home from Portici , aud positively announces ibat Jf . Bara ^ u ay d'fiillier ' s mission has been unsuccessful . The Pope , he says , will not return to Rome . The cause as signed , he adds , by the carmarilli , is the fear of a coup d ' etat in Paris . It is genera ly supposed that Al . Baraguay d'Hilliers will send in his resignation . Letters of the 1 st , from Verona , announce an aggravation of the stale of siege in consequence of
frequent conflicts between the Austrian soldiery aud the people both of the town and country , who were exasperated beyond hounds at their insolence . It was forbidden by a proclamation to sing or cry out in the streets ; places of public resort were closed « t ten ; the patrols and sentries were enjoined , upon Occasions of the least insult , to make use of their arms . The opening of the Teatro Fdarmonico is put off for a month . There , also , the cold was exceedingly severe ; the heights about tbe city were covered with snow ; the Adige rolled down large fragments of ice .
The little Republic of San Marino is occupied by Austrian troops . Letters from Terracina state , that 4 , 000 of the Spanish troops in the Roman States embarked for Spain on the 3 th . The remainder ( 3 , 000 ) were to follow . . Accounts from Rome of tbe 8 th state , that the contracts for the provisions of the French army have been renewed for three months . PIEDMONT . — From Turin , the news of tbe 13 th inst . is , that , out of IG 3 known elections , the conservatives had obtained 101 , the remainder being for the radicals and the Left and Left Centre . Twelve elections ia Piedmont were still unknown , and those of Sardinia Proper were not yet published . The ' Concordia' states that llf- Pinelli is appointed ambassador at Madrid .
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . Viesxa . Dec . lOWTuere was posted about Vienna to-day a placard announcing three sentences against fugitive offenders by tbe court-martial . One of these sentences was death by tbe rope , nktch ms executed this morning , upon a figure stuffed with straw , a gallows being erected for this purpose on the glacis before the Neutber , where the murderers of Latour suffered . The name of the condemned , Kuchenbacher , was inscribed upon a tablet affixed to the gibbet . The tffo others , Untsrschill and Real , were condemned to twelve rears' imprisonment , with hard labour , ia heavy irons , and Jfteen years imprisonment in a fortrejy . Al ! three *« e pfheers j fl mAmtritn service . uZSl

is accused of having taken part in the mnrder of Lalottr . The heavier sentence against Kuchenbacher was motived by his having been brought up at the cost of the state , and joined , after his fli ght , the ' rebels' in Baden . According to tbe " Lloyd ' s' correspondence from Perth Paul Nyary has been set at liberty . The * Prag , * an evening paper of Prague , was suppressed on the 7 th . On the day before ive students were arrested . Anarchical Rkscixs of ' the Triumph of Orber . '—Symptoms oi the Humour with which the Servians receive their new Woiwodina are already manifested in Syrmia . . Letters of the 25 th
represent that country in astate of complete anarchy . The Baual commissioner and magistrates exercise no control whatever « ver the Iawirss multitude , and shrink intimidated from the assertion of their authority . The still existing Servian commission has sent instructions to the county authorities to receive no command but theirs , not even those which are issued from Vienna . In Csalma the imperal dragoons were refused teams for draught ; and when these were seized * y force , the inhabitants fired oo the soldiers , and a sanguinary conflict ensued . * At K'im * quarters were refused * to a squadron of cavalry , who there * on stormed the houses on which they were billeted .
TURKEY AND RUSSIA . Constantinople , Nov . 27 . —Diplomatic relatims still continue suspended between Turkey and Russia . Tbe Porte refused to consent to the expulsion of the Polish refugees established in this country previous to the late movement in Hungary , but tbe Turkish ministers recognise the right given to the Czar by the Treaty of Kutchuki Kiardju to demand the expulsion of Dembinski aud bis companions . The " note of the Sultan ' s government to M . de Tttoff written in this secse has been forwarded by the Russian envoy to St . Petersburgh . This note has been approved of . by the French and English ambassadors . Sir Stratford Canning
and Gen . Anpick botb seem very anxious for the settlement of the present question . They have had more than one conference with M . de Titoff , and used what arguments' they thought best suited to smooth the way towards a renewal of tbe friendly relations between the Porte and the cabinet of St . Petersburgh . The Russian minister said that , though he felt the force of the reasons put forward by Sir Stratford canning and General Aupick , he could take no step in the matter till he had received fresh instructions from bis government . The Porte , as well as the French and English ambassadors , see in M . de Titoff's conduct nothing but a wish to gain time . The Russian envoy and bis government knew full well that the Porte had no objection to expel Dembincki aud bis friends from the Ottoman territory ; hut
that the expulsion of other Polish refugees established here since the revolution 1830 would be refused . The last demand of M . de Titoff was made in such a way that it was impossible for the Sultan s ministers to understand whether he wished for the expulsion of all Polish refugees or only those who had taken part in the late war in Hungary . M . de Titoff pretends that he is in the same state of uncertainty , and that the vagueness which the Porte observed in his demand , was simply the consequence of the nature of the instructions which he had received from St . Petersburgh . In the conferences which the Russian envoy had with the Eng lish aud French ambassadors , he said it was simply the doubtful nature of his instructions whijh prevented him from accepting the reply of the Porte and renewing diplomatic relations . He also spoke in the same sense to the Grand Vizier and the
Minister of Foreign Affairs . The Porte and their allies are seriously annoyed by the conduct of the Czar a-. ; d his envoy . It can sca'cely be . called duplicity on the part of the Emperor and his representative , for the veil which covers tVeir real motives is very transparent . No answer can be received to the note of the Porle , which M . de Titoff has forwarded to St . Petersburgh , till the middle of next month . And when the answer does arrive it will not be difficult to find fresh means for keeping the
present question unsettled till the end of spring . The Emperor is playing a safe gam ? . He has sown the seeds of discontent amongst the rayah population of Turkey , and his agents are still dailyoccupied with tbe same work . His hopes of a disunion between England and France are still lively , if we are are to believe information which has reached Constantinople from a high source ; and the latter object once attained the Czar would find in tbe heart of Turkey itself materials for the ruin of this empire .
The' Constitntionnel' says that it is assured that a Courier arrived the day before yesterday in Pari ? , with the news of the conclusion at Constantinople of a treaty putting an end to the Turco-Russ an dispute , and that after being signed by MM . Titoff and Stunner , it was sent for ratification to Vienna and St . Petersburgh .
ALGERIA . The' Monilner Algs-rien' of the 10 h announces that after the capture of Zaatcha , all tbe tribes of theZ ; b & n , who had been waiting the issue , hastened to the camp of General Herbillion to give hostages for their submission , and for the payment of fines inflicted on them . Colonel Dauroas after having established the French authority in Bon Cada , and among the neighbouring fractions of theOuled Nails , had sent force against the Ouled-Ameur-hen-Feradj , owing to th j unsatVactory replies they had made
to his demands ; and on the 29 th ultimo an engagement took placs at . Djebel-Messad , which ended by the defeat of the enemy , and by their tents and great part of their flocks falling into ( he possession of the French , after which they made thfrir submission . The loss of the French in the affair was only a few killed and wounded . The defeat of the Ouled-Ameur-ben- Feradj , joined to the taking oi Zaatcha , caused such a profound impression , that another imponant fraction of the tame tribe , which had been resisting , made its submission also .
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . We have received Cape of Good Hope news to the 27 th of October , brought b y lbs Windsor . They abound with reports of meetings held to protest against the colony being made a penal settlement . The convicts still remain on board the Neptune , in Simon ' s Bay . The anti-Convict Association are determined to carry out the * pledge , ' and will listen to no compromise—ro middle course ; their united cry is , ' Send the Neptune away J' and nothing short of it will satisfy its members or the colony at large .
At a meeting at Worcester , a resolution was passed entreating his Excellency to send the Neptune immediately from the shore , as the only means of restoring the colony to its former peace and prosperity ; ' but ( continued the resolution ) ' should the base design el Earl Grey he persevered in , we will rather iffer our last drop of blood than that this colony should be degraded to become a penal settlement . ' Those shopkeepers who have taken the' pledge' have their shutters partially closed , as a demoastration of respect to public grief , while those who remain entirely open are avowed and abandoned by their regular customers . Such is the substance of the principal news conveyed by the above vessel .
INDIA AND CHINA . Bombay , Nov . 17—The present mail is unusually barren ; there is scarcely an event which will prove interesting to tbe English reader . The health of the Marquis of Dalhousie is said to be still further failing him , and it is not thought probable he may , at the end of next mouth , bid adieu to India . When last heard of , he was on his way from Simla towards the provinces , whence he would visit Lahore , and probably Peshawur , thence descending the Indus to Kurrachee , taking a look at Mooltan on the way .
Conflicts with Pirates . — Hon g Kon g , Oct . 30 . —The proceedings of the pirates , our interference , and the extensive slaughter committed by the guns of our sbips-of-war , are the topics of general conversation amongst the Chinese . Her Majesty ' s ships Fury and Columbine have bad an affair with a large fleet . Just prior to the departure of the last mail . to Europe the Columbine was sent after some pirates who were reported to have landed and destroyed the town of Tays-ami . This Heat consisted of thirteen ; t-v 0 of the largest junks kept up a rapid fire with the Columbine during the night the
. In morning the chase was continued , and the pirates made towards shore , but were cut off by the steamer Canton , the captain of which vessel was in search after the Coquette , and seeing the manceuvr / s of the junks , he immediately steamed between them and the shore . The Canton took the Columbine in low , carrying her near the largest of the junks : during the chase the Columbine got on shore , and tp junk anchored near two small forls . The Columbine ' s boats were lowered and manned , for the purpose of cutting the junk out , the boats being under tbe command of Lielenant Bridge ? . After having exbaujffd their mmunU
France. T The Mir-Is'.Er Of Agriculture ...
tion it was resolved to hoard the junk , in which oper ati on several of the p irates were driven overboard . ' Mr . Midshipman Goddard , observing a man eoing down the hold with a lig hted match in his han-j followed , but before this officer could overtake the . man an explosion took place . On the first anyarn * of the smoke Lieut . Bridges jumped overboard , dragging a seaman with him , by which aeansboth escaped unhurt . Two marines and one seaman were killed , and eight winded . Mr . Goddardwas mortally wounded , and died on his way to Hong Kong . Of the crew of the junk ( about ninety ) it is said that only one escaped , lhe
Canton , with the wounded , was despatched to Hong Kone , accompanied by a request for assistance to pursue the main body ' of the fleet , which was much too strong for the Columbine . In two hours notice the Fury was under steam , and proceeded to the assistance of the Columbine to a place called Mirs Bay , about seventy miles distant from Hong Kong . The piratical fleet was observed at anchor , with flags flying at their mast heads and the crews dressed for the occasion . The Columbine keeping to seaward , the Fury proceeded towards the junks , and , approaching the latter , they opened a deadly fire , which was unheeded and not a single shot returned
from tbe Fury , which vessel steamed at twelve knots through the entire fleet until she got between the pirates and . tbe shore , when , having cut off all chance of escape , the Fury anchored . The Fury ' s bulwarks were thrown down , and the guns opened upon the junks , throwing shells with such precision that scarcely one failed in its object . By noon fourteen of the largest junks were burning . As the Junks were firing , the crews were seen to land and escape over the heights , carrying the wounded with them . Parties of marines from the Fury succeeded in shooting a few of these runaways . A wounded man was taken out of the water ; he said the shell which took away his leg struck ten other pirates , including their chiefs , Cbui-Apoo ; the latter was wounded in the back , but managed to escape on shore .
NEW SOUTH WALES . ANTI-CONVICT MOVEMENT AT SmVKY . "We have seen the result of the anti-convict movement at the Cape—a triumph over the Colonial Secretary after passive resistance and a novel kind of rebellion by starving her Majesty ' s public officers and troops as well as seamen . . By the last file of newspapers from Sydney we are informed of tbe manner in which the Secretary of State for the Colonies is respected in New South Wales , and it would appear prudent in a wise government to remove from office a man who has , by his
public acts , so thoroughly and so generally disgusted the population of our colonies . Demerara has been for the last three years in a state of rebellion and of great hostility to Earl Grey , having refused the supplies called for by his tool , Governor Barkley . Ceylon has been subjected to military law , i . e . ' the abrogation of all civil rights , ' by the governor , Lord Torrington , who has acted under orders of Earl Grey ' and has received the sanction of her Majesty to the hanging and shooting of the . unfortunate inhabitants of that fine island ,, which has been rendered a scene of barbarous military executions and banishment .
The approbation of Earl Grey to the atrocious conduct of More O'Ferrall at Malta , in refusing an asylum to the unfortunate patriots from Rome , has disgusted every thinking Englishman ! The proceedings at the Cape ought to put to shame Earl Grey and all his colleagues-rthe violation of public , faith on the part of Earl Gray did excite an expression of disgust to an extent that we believe has never before been manifested by the inhabitants of any British colony towards a British Secretary of State ; and the triumph of the inhabitants , after their union against Sir Harry Smith and his troops , is an event that will be related in every British colony , and held out as an example of the course to be adopted against all worthless proceedings of the Colonial-office .
We annex an extract from the ' Launcfston Examiner- ' that expresses very forcibly the position of Earl Grey in the hearts of the inhabitants of Sydney . At a public meeting , in the open air , of 6 , 000 persons , the chairman of the meeting stated that , ' in defiance of all good faith , they had a large Wetachment of convicts poured in upon them ,- ' and Dr . Aaron , the first speaker , stated that ' Earl Grey had been guilty of tyranny and faithlessness , ' and the meeting came unanimously to the following resolutions : — That considering the arbitrary and faithless - manner in which this colony has been treated by tbe Right Honourable Earl Grey , this meeting most humbly prays her * Maj'Sty to remove that nobleman from her Majesty ' s counsels . '
' That it is indispensable to the well being of this colony , and to the satisfactory conduct of its affairs , that its government should no longer he administered by the remote , ill-informed , and irresponsible Colonial-office , but by ministers chosen from , and responsible to , tbe colinists themselves , in accordance with the principles of the British constitution . ' ' That C msidering the discourtesy shown by his Excellency the Governor to the former meeting and to its deputation , this meeting abstains from appointing a deputation to wait upon his Excellency with tbe preceding resolutions and address ( which merely embodied the resolutions , ) but requests the chairman t ) transmit them to him , with a written [ request that his Excellency will be pleased to forward them to her Majesty the Q-ieea for her gracious consideration . '
The example of the United States is now held up at all the meetings in the colonies , as proper to he adopted against the mal-administration of Earl Grey and responsible government is now everywhere demanded . We think it time for Lord J . Russell and his colleagues to attend to the signs of the tiaies . The Body and Papers of ¦ Mb ,- Kennedy , who perished in exploring the north-eastern portion of Australia , have been found . A correspondent of the' Athenaeum' has forwarded an extract from a
letter written on board the ' Harbinger , ' a vessel which sailed in company with the ' Freak , ' in purr suit « f these objects . ' On arriving t . t the place we armed two boats ' -crews . They went ashore , and were successful in finding and obtaining the papers , aud burying Mr . Kennedy without any bloodshed . This was much to be wondered at ; but it was chiefly owing to the wise measure of Captain Simpson , of the * Harbinger , ' who ordered the men to fire a volley over the heads of the Indians while thev
were in ambush , this bad the desired effect ; for no sooner did they hear the report of the muskets than they ; were off , at a quicker pace than our people cared to follow them . ' It will be seen , that . nothing is said of the three men left by Mr . Kennedy at Melbourne-hay , whose recovery ( though against hope ) was one of the objects with which tbe ' Freak' was commissioned .
UNITED STATES . The recent attack of the London ' Times' on the credit of the state of Alabama , has excited much resentraent among its inhabitants . We certainly are a very thin skinned people , and a sour English paragraph is noticed and commented on in all parts of our country . It appears by an official report , just made to'the Alabama legislature , that the foreign debt is diminished from nine , millions to five millions of dollars , and the interest now to bs provided for by taxation is only three hundred thousand dollars . The state has also promptly paid the interest of her debtj and intends to do so till the principal is extinguished . . We cannot conceive why the ' Times '
is so rabid in its articles on the financial affairs of this country . It is doing more to disturb fie peaceful relations of Great Britain and the United States than can well be imagined abroad . It is rousing a feeling of resentment as bitter as it is inopportune , and if neither the good sense of the English people , nor the admoni tions of its friends in high places , can check its rancour , they will before they know it enjoy the satisfaction of having to pay a few more raiilionsof . pounds sterling , for an angrv adjunment of future controversies , arising solel y from the bad t-mper , and tbe injurious aspersions of half a dozen violent newspaper writers . ' I sent you , ' writes ' the correspondent of the 'Daily News , ' « per last steamer , an account of a small affair in Mofquita , where a party of Americans been robbed
having and maltreated by the negroes mitstned crce enough to attack aud destroy a town by way of revenge . Let mem , 0 «' ' the auihoriiv of a highly respectable person who was ill the squabble , that the American fiide of the story will be found worth listening to .

eve But bow speedily do the Cahfornians orget their assertion about the equality of all men I They no sooner set about settling the suffrage ques ion , than they begin forthwith to contradict themselves . Indians , Africans , and descendants of Africans , are specially excepted , as not to be allowed the right to vote , or , of course , in any way to interfere with the measures of government . Thus is tbe coloured man , go where he will , under the flag of the United States , insulted and degraded . We are thankful , however , for the clause prohibiting slavery . This is the result of the large emigration from tbe Free States . Itis probably different from
what was anticipated by our slaveholdmg government . The Siutb , no doubt , hoped to extend her patriarchal reign over the territory . In this , Calhoun and company are disappointed , Slavery will not be permitted in California . — ' North Star . — ( We observe in the Washington correspondence of the Nsw York ' Tribune' a statement to the
effect , that Mr . Calhoun will resist the admission of California as a state into the' Union , with a restriction of slavery as a part of its organic law . He takes the ground that California has no right to exclude slaves , and thereby exclude slave-holders from her soil , the sovnreignty over which belonged to every citizen of the United States , and must be exercised by : their representatives in Congress . We may expect a tough contest therefore on . this question in Congress at the ensuing session .
HORRIBLE'MURDER-AT . BOSTON , UNITED
STATES . The American papers are filltd with accounts of a horrible and mysterious tragedy at Boston , which had created very great excitement . We extract the following from the many and various accounts published , The mysterious disappearance of Dr . George Parkman . of Boston , had been-a theme of comment in that city for some days . He left his residence on a Friday , and was nit heard of until the . Friday following . " Meanwhile , a reward of' 4 , 000 dollars was offerfd for his discovery . ( From The 'Boston Evening Transcript , ' Dec . l . )
- 'Since last evening our whole population has been in a state of the greatest possible excitement in consequence ot the astounding rumour that tbe body of Dr . Parkman has been discovered , and that Dr . John \ V . Webster , professor of chemistry in the Medicil school of Harvard College , and a gentleman connected by marriage with same of our most distinguished families , has been arrested' and imprisoned on suspicion of being tbe murderer . Incredulity , then amazement , and . the blank , unspeakable horror , have been the emotions , which have agitated the public mind as the rumour has gone on , gathering countenance and confirmation . Never ,
in . the annals of crime in Massachusetts , has such a sensation been produced . The principal reasons for the suspicions assigned are as follows : — -Dr . Parkman held a note for 450 dollars against Professor Webster , which bad long bean overdue , and upon which , although it was secured by a mortgage of some real estate in East Cambridge , the doctor had several times importuned : for the money , and been from time to time put off . At length he applied to the officer who disposed of tbe tickets for Professor V ' obster ' s course of lectures , to know . if there was a
sufficient balance due for the professor to take up his note . This circumstance is said to have greatly incensed Professor Webster , who , on Friday mornim of last week , called at Dr . Parkman ' s house , No . S , Walnut-street , and left word if he ( Dr . Parkman ) wanted his money on that mortgage , to call at the Medical College about one o ' clock that afternoon . ' —The doctor is known to have proceeded to the College at the time specified—was seen to enter by several persons in the vicinity ; but was never seen to come out .
' It is said Professor Webster admits that T ) r . Parkman was at the College about-the time mentioned , and that , although he asserts he paid him the 450 dollars , he cannot show a receipt for itwhen it is well known that Dr . Parkman was very methodical in his business matters .- It is also stated , that during the whole of the past . week , Professor Webster has kept himself very secluded — that his rooms at the College have been kept constantly locked — circumstances quite unusual with him . From these and other alleged facts , such suspicions were aroused that , in the professor ' s absence last evening , Mr . Ephraim Littlefield , who has the care
of the College building and grounds , was induced to break the partition wall to the vault under the private laboratory of Professor Webster , in the basement of the building , and there discovered one leg and a portion of tbe trunk of a human corpse , in a condition which made it apparent that the remains bad not long been there deposited . The discovery , with the fact that Professor Webster is not an anatomist or surgeon , but simply a chemist , and having nothing professionally to do with the dissection of bodies , was sufficient to give rise to the astounding suspicion that Dr . Parkman had thus been most foully and diabolically murdered . Professor Webster was accordinglj arrested at his residence in Cambridge , by officers Clapp and Rice , and lodged in' Leverett . street' gaol last night to
await-further developcmenV We learn that a further and a thorough investigation was made in the professoi ' s laboratory this morning , when in the ashes of his furnace were fnurid pieces of bone from the skull and other parts of a man ' s head , together with several false teeth , some coat buttons , and some grains of gold , apparently from a watch melted down . On the stairs leading from the laboratory to the lectnre . room above , were found spots made b y a strung acid capable of destroying maiks . uf blood which might have been there spilled , or of almost instantly consuming the flesh , if thrown upon the persen .
