France. The Minister Of Agriculture And ...
FRANCE . The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce has presented to the _Assembl y tbe bill _rek'ive to the Assscia' . ions for Mutual Relief , as proposed and drawn up uy tbe President of the Republic . This project differs a go . od deal from that which has already come under tha consideration of tbe A 3 iembly . ft introduces the intervention of the _governnun ; in the foundation and developement of these associations . The donation proposed by the bill is 1 , 000 , 000 ? . p « annum , comprised in tlie ordinary estimates of tbe Minister of Commerce , and forming a special fund for relief aud the basis for contributions -if a voluntary kind . The _obj « cx of the new
associations is thus defined : — ' Relief to operative * rendered unable by wounds or sickness to pursue thtir ordinary avocations , and tbe defraying the funeral expenses of deceased members of the association . Three systems are concurrentl y _suggested for the benefit of the working classes—one . tbe creation of a savings bank , where the _operatwe shall deposit bis _savings to support him when out of employment ; a came de _retrailtt , formed also of his savings , and desiimd to his maintenance when rendered unable by old age to earn his livelihood ; and a caisse des secours muluelt , in thc event of illness , or wounds , incapacitating him for labour . With respect to the first , tlie state leaves the operative at perfect liberty
to transfer his savings to sucb a fund or not , as he may-think proper . As to the second , tbe state induces bim to contribute to its support by the _attraction of premiums after a certain _specified period . In the third the action of the state is more sensibly felt _. Every association of mutual leiief must , with a vie * to a legal authorisation , bave one co-associate for every four operatives belonging to tbe association , who will perform a portion of the duty without par . tic pjtion in its _benefits . The government engages tn obtain the intervention of all over whom it has _induenw in every class of society . In order to give greater wei ght and authorby to the establishments tbe Wsideut of tbe Association will be named by the _Prudent of the Republic .
The Court of _Cassa'ion rejected on Thursday tbe appeal of the members of the Association , termed , « La SoUdarUe Republicaine , ' against a decision o * the _Inferior Court , by which they were sent for trial befo / e « he Court of Assize for Paris . A _it-ner from Foix , of the 12 th inst ., states that M . Armand _Marrast is canvassing the department of the Ariege _, where a vacancy has been created in the representation by the conviction of M . Pilhes , a _repn-f _native « f the people , before tbe Hig h Court of J stice at Versailles . Accounts from Perigueux of tbe 7 tb inst . mention that a captain of the National Guard of tbat town-has been condemned hy ( he Court of Ass ' z _^ of the _lJ-. 'do .-nedbr having with a number of Socialis' -S cried' Fire la guillotine . '
T > e ' Moniteur * contains a decree by which the last six battalions of tbe Mobile Guard are to be disbanded on tbe 31 st inst . If we are well _informed , says tbe' ConstitutiouneV government intends to subject to a kind of military _organisation a certain number of functions in the lowr ' tVauks of the administrative hierarchy , such as thofeof rural postmen , gardes chamyetres _, canton-K 2 ei _$ .. - aud some others whose _nouiinatr > H being within the attributes of the local authorities , places the nominee in a situation of isolation which deprives birr * of all kinds of advancement , whatever may be h s _Idelligence or good services _, la future gevern _nvm will dispose of tha greater number of these plac s in favoar of old soldiers .
This is a serious measure in pursuance of the centralising system . Louis Napoleon is evidently bent in carry ' _ng out his plan of gathering all the reigns of authority into bis own hands . We shall soon _sse _nominations of gamekeepers inserted iu the * Moniteur * — Snooks ( I know no equivalent in French ) to ha gamekeeper , vice Snooks , dismissed . _Ajjener from Toulouse , of the lath inst ., announces tbe acquittal , by a jury of tbat towu , oi WM . Jjnot , Luset , Berruyer , Villa , Foust , Forcade . Baillard , and Salles _, prosecuted for having conspired to _overthrow the government .
A letter from Chalons _sur-Saone states tbat the acquittal of the political prisoners of that town , pronounced by the Court of Assizes of the _Cotsd'Or , gave rise a few days back to some disturbance . Some of the men who were acquitted being ex pectcd b y tbe railway a number of persons collected about four o ' clock lo receive them . Ouly one , of them , however , arrived , hut he was grepted witBMoud cries of Vice la Repuhlique Democratique et Sociale J The crowd _thortly after separated , but re-assembled , about eigfet o ' clock in the evening ,
_anpns revolutionary _sones , and crying out A las les Blancs ! Vivent les _Gouges ! The Sub-Prefect , the Procureur of the Repuhlique , and the Colonel of the 22 ad _fir-giment of the line , iinmediately acted iu concert , aud ihe crowd was dispersed Calm was restored , and it was supposed that the town again enjoyed tranquillity , when about mid- _, night cries of A las les Blancs ! Vivent les Rouges . ' were heard near the Lyons gate . The men so offendisg were arrested , and the town of _Crsalons then remained quiet for the rest of the rieht .
Tbe ' Courrier a Aaven »» e stales that an attempt at riot was made Ian week at Trevol ( Allif r _. ) with cries of Vice la _Rep-blique Sociale , A bas les Blancs ! A judicial inquiiy into the matter has _commenced . Taxatiox _. _—Dutiag the past week there has been a nn _> ta ; l ? d _debate in the _Legislative Assembly , on the excise tax on spirituous liquors , which , it will be recollected , was repealed by the Constituent Assembly . After an animated discussion , the Chamber came ; oa _division on llomiay , and decided lo take into c « nsu _]? ra ' j : ni the clauses cf the Ministerial bill _, for ; e »' urp » _s ' n _£ tie tax for a limited period , b y 443 to 220 .
A l _.-ttf r from Bell :- _Islr states that at the departure of the bit detachment of the _prisoners who had betn amnestied , the remaining prisoners broke out into open revolt , because ihey also hid not th * bentfit of the amnesty . They shouted * Vive li Repuhlique democral _' qne et sociale / and began to break down the _woodwork of their rooms . Cobnel Pierre , in Command , called out the garrison and arrested ten of ihe _ringleaders . The other _prisoitersthen _discontinued their riotous proceedings . One of "be ten who had been arrested _attempted _ta make bis _escape , was shot di ad .

is accused of having taken part in the murder of Latour . The heavier sentence against Kuchtmbacher was motived by his having been brought up at the cost of tbe state , and joined , after his fli ght , the ' rebels' in Baden .

The Banal commissioner and magistrates exercise no control -whatever over the _lawless 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 wheu _thfse were _seizad by force , the inhabitants fired on the soldiers , and a sanguinary conflict ensued . _^ At Kuma quarters were refused to a squadron of cavalry , who thereu on stormed the houses on wbich they

TURKEY AND RUSSIA . CoxsTAvrisoPLE , Nov . 27 . —Diplomatic relations still continue suspended between Turkey and Russia . The Porte refused to consent to the expulsion of the Polish refugees established in this country previous to the late movement in Hungary , but the Turkish ministers recognise the right given to the Czar by the Treaty of _Kutclmiii Kiardju to demand the expulsion of Dembinski and his companions . The note of the Sultan ' s government to M . de Titoff written in this sense has heen forwarded hy the Russian envoy to St . Petershurgh . This note ha 3 been approved of by the French and English ambassadors . Sir Stratford Canning
and Gen . Aupick boti seem very anxious for the settlement of tbe present question . They have had more than one conference with M . de Titoff , and used what arguments they thought best suited to smooth tbe way towards a renewal of the friendly relations between the Porte and the cab ' net of St . Petershurgh . The Russian minister said that , though he felt tbe force of tbe reasons put forward by Sir Stratford canning and General _Aupick , he could take no step in the matter till he had received fresh instructi > ns from
bis government . The Porte , as well as the French and English ambassadors , see iu M . de Titoff ' s conduct nothing but a wish to gain time . The Russian envoy and his government knew full well tkat the Porte bad no objection to expel Deinbintki and his frieuda from the Ottoman territory ; but that the expulsion of other Polish refugees established here since the revolution 1830 would be refused . The last demand of M . de Titoff has made in sucb a way tbat it was _impossible for the Sultan ' s ministers to understand whether he wished
for tbe 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 tbe consequence cf the nature of tbe _instructions which he bad received from St . Petershurgh . In the conferences which thc Russian envoy had with the Eng'isb and French ambassadors , he said it was simply the doubtful nature of his instructions _wkuh _prevented him from accepting the reply of the Porte and renewing diplomatic relations . He also spnke in the _sa-ne sense to the Giaid Vizier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs . The Porte aud their allies are seriousl y annoyed by thc conduct of the _Czw and his envoy . It can sca-cely be called duplicity on thc part of the Emperor and his
representative , for tbe veil which c -vers tVeir real motives is very transparent . No answer can he received to the note of the Porte , which M . de Titoff has forwarded to St . Petershurgh , 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 game He has sown the seeds of discontent amongst the rayah population of _Turney , and his agents are still daily occupied with the same work . His hopes of a disunion between England and France are still lively , if we are are to believe information which ha 3 reached Constantinople from a hi gh source ; and the latter object once attained the Czar would find in the heart of Turkey itself materials for the ruin of this empire .
The' _Constituiionnel' says that it is assured tbat a _cmirier arrived the day before yesterday in Paris , with tbe news of the conclusion at Constantinople t > f a treaty putting nn end to the Turco . Russ an dispute , and that after being signed by MM . Titoff _andStsrmer , Uwassentfor raiifieation to Vienna aud St . _Pelersburgb .
ALGERIA . Tie'Monbuer _Algcrien' of tbe 10 hannounces that after the capture of Zaatcha , all the tribes of tZ ; ban , who had been waiting the issue , hastened o the camp of General Herbillion to give hostages for their submission , and for the payment of dues inflicted on them . Coloiifl Daurnas , after having established the French authority in Bou Cada , and among thc _ncigbbciuringfractions oftheOnled Nails . _iiad sent force against the _Ouled-Araeur-ben-Ftradj _, owing to th-. nnsat ' s ' actorv rrplies 'hev had made
to his demands ; and on the 29 th ultimo an engagement took place at Djebel-Messad , which ended by the defeat of the enemy , and hy their tents and great part of their flocks falling into ihe possession of the French , after wbich they made their submission . The loss of tbe French in the affair was only a few killed and wounded . The defeat of the _Oaled-Amenr-ben- Feradj , joined to the taking oi _Zaatchii , caus-d such a profound impression , that anotV . er important fraction oi the _: ame tribe , which had been resisting , made its submission also .
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . Wc have received Cape of Good Hop ? news io the 27 th of October , brought by the Windsor . They abound with reports of meetings held to protest against ihe _cilony being made a penal settlement . The convicts still remain on hoard the Neptune , in Simon ' s Bay . The anti-Convict Association are determined to carry out the ' p ledge , ' and will listen to no compromise—ro middle course ; their united cry is , ' Send the Neptune away > ' and nothing short of it will satisfy i $ members or the colony at large . At a meeting at Worcester , a resolution was
passed _entrsating his Excellency lo tend tin Neptune _immediately from the shorp , as the only means if restoring the colony to i _* s former peace and prosperity ; ' but ( _t-ontinued the resolution ) « should ; be base design a ! Earl Grey _bs _pi-rsevercd in , wc « ill rather ( ffer our last drop of _bbmd than that t his colony should _ba _degraded to lucerne a penal settlement .

INDIA AND CHINA . Bombay- , Nov . 17 . —Tbe present mail is unusually barren ; ' . here is scarcely au event which will prove interesting to the English reader . The health ofthe _Msrquis of Dalhoasie is said to !>• _-. Av ] further failing him , and it is nGt thought prubable lie may , at the end of nest momb , bid adieu to India .

Conflicts uiih Pirates . — Hong Kong , Oct . 30 . —The proceedings of the pirates , our interference , and the extensive slaughter committed hy tbe guns of our _sbips-of-war , ara the topics ol general conversation amongst the Chinese . Her Slajesty ' s ships Fury and _Columbine have had an affair with a large fleet . Just prior to the departure of the last mail to Europe the Co ' . urabine was sent after st me _pintes who were reported to have landed and destroyed the town of Tays-ami . This fleet consisted of thirteen ; ho of the largest junks kept up a : apid fire with theCokirabiue during
tbe ni g ht . In tbe morning the chase was continued , and the p irates made towards shore , but were cut off by he steamer Canton , the captain of which vess _. l was in search after the _Cr-quette , and seeing the manceavrie of the junks , be immediately steamed between them and Ibe shore . The Canton took tbe Columbine in tow , earning ber near the largest of the junks : during the chase the Columbine got on shore , and tljfi junk anchored near two small forts . The Columbine ' s boats were lowered and manned , for the purpose of cutting the junk i S _* , _aoatebeing tttulM tbe _comraand of Lietenant wages . After having exhausted their ammuni-
France. The Minister Of Agriculture And ...
tion it was resolved to board the junk , in which operation several of the pirates were driven overboard Mr Midshipman Goddard , observing a roan going down « he hold with a lighted match in his hand followed , but beforfl this officer could overtake the man an exp losion took place . On the first _appoarance of the smoke Lieut . Brid ges jumped overboard , _drangiug a seaman with him , hy which _aeans both escaped unhurt . Two marines and one seaman were killed , and eig ht wounded . Mr . _Gjddardwas mortally woinded , and died on his way to Hong Kong . Of the creff of the junk ( about ninety ) it is said that only one escaped . The Cantonwith the wounded , was despatched to Hong
, Kong , accompanied by a request for assistance to pursue the main hodv of the fleet , which was much too Strom ? for the Columbine . In two hours notice _theFurv 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 pira tical 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 tire ,
which was unheeded and not a single shot returned from the Fury , which vessel steamed at twelve knots through the entire tUet until she got between the p irates and the 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 laud and escape over the hei g hts , carrying the wounded with them . Parties of marines from the Fury succeeded
in shooting a few ot these runaways . A wounded man was taken out of ths water ; he said the shell which took away his leg struck ten other pirates , including their chiefs , Chui-Apoo ; the latter was wounded in the back , but managed to escape on shore .
NEW SOUTH WALES . ASTI-CONVICT MOVEMENT AT SVDNEY . 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 the manner iu 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 Ihe 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 nnder 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 1 The proceedings at the Cape ought to put to shame EarJ Grey and all his colleagues—the violation of public faith on the part of Earl Gr « y 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 Marry Smith and his troops , is an event that will be _relak-d in every British colouy , and held out as an example of the course to be adopted against all rvorthlesa proceedings of the Colonial-office .
We annex an extract from the ' _Lauaceston 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 de . tachment of convicts poured in upon them ; ' and Dr . Aaron , the first speaker , stated that ' Earl Grey had been guilty of tyranny and faithlessness , ' and ihe meeting came unanimously to the following resolutions : — 'That considering the arbitrary and faithless manner in which this colony has been treated by the Ri ght Honourable Earl Grey , this meeting most humbly prays her _Maj-isty to _remove that nobleman from her Majesty ' s counsels . '
1 fhat it is indispensable io the well being of this colony , and to the satisfactory conduct of its affairs , that its government should no ionaer be administered hy the remote , ill-informed , and _irresponsible Colonial-office , hut by ministers chosen from , and responsible to , the colinists themselves , in accordance with the principles ofthe British _constiintidn . ' ' That _c- _'msidering the _discourtesy shown by his Excellency the Governor to the former meeting . anr ! to its deputation , this meeting abstains from appointing a deputation to wait upon his Excellency with the preceding resolutions aud address ( which merely embodied the resolution ' , ) but requests the chairman t > transmit them to him , with a written " request that his Excellency ni'l be pleased to forward Uiemto ber _Majesty the _Qaeen for her gracious consideration . '
Tlie example of the United States is now held up at all the meetings in the colonies , as proper to he adopted _asainst the mal-admiuistration of Earl _Grej ; anil responsible government is no _< v everywhere demanded . We think it time for Lord J . Russell and his colleagues to attend to thc signs of the times . The Body and Papers of Mn . Kennedy , who periahtd in exploring the north-eastern portion of Australia , have been found . A correspondent o ' ihe' _Athenwiuu ' ha 3 forwarded an extract Irom a letter written ou board the ' Harbinger , ' a vessel which sailed iu company with the * Freak , ' in pursuit _i-f these _ohjeits . ' On arriving ? . l the place we armed two boats ' -srerrs . They went ashore , and were successful in finding and obtaining the papers , ai : d burying Mr . Kennedy _wiiiiout any bloodshed . This was much to he wondered at : but it was
_chitny owing to the wise measure of Captain Simpson , of llie ' Harbinger , ' who ordered the men to are a volley over the heads of the Indians while they were in ambush . Tin ' s had the desired effect ; for no sooner did _ih-y bear the report of the muskets than they were < _-ff , at a quicker pace than our people cared ts follow them . ' _U will he seen , that nothing is said oi tlie three men _taft by Mr . _Kennedy at A " eib , _- ) iir : ie . bay , whose recovery ( though against hope ) was one of the objects Willi which ihe ' Freak' was _cornmistmned .
UNITED STATES . The recent attack i = f the London ' Times' on the credit of tlie stata of _Alabama , has exciied much _resentment among its _inhabitants . We . certainly are a very thin _skinned p o )! e , and a sour Engliso parag / aph ia noticed and commented on in all parts of our _country . It appears by an dricial report , jusmade to the Alabama _legislature , that the foreign dent is diminished from nine millions io five millions of dollars , and i ! vi interest now to b •¦ _provided for by _tofion is o . "l y i ' nee hundred _ilmiisaml dollars . Thc state has also promptly paid the interest ol her debt , and intends to du so till the principal is
rxiingui _.-hed . Wc cannot conceive why the ' Times ' is so raliid in its _articles en the financial affairs of Ibis country . 11 is doing more to disturb t ' _ic peaceful relations of Great Britain and the United States than can W ' 11 he imagined abroad . It is rousing a feeling of resentment as _bifter as it is inopportune , and if neither tbe good sense of the English people , nor the admonitions of its friends in hi gh places , can check its rancour , they niil bsforc they know it enjoy tbe satisfaction of having to pay a few more millions uf _pounda sicrling . for an angry adjustment of future _controversies , arisii . g solel y from tbe bad t- roper , and t >; e injurious aspersions of hull a _dazen violent newspaper writers .
' 1 sent you , ' wri ; es the _csrrespondent of thc ' Daily News , ' * per last steamer , an account of a small affair in Mojqnita _, where a party of Amcricaus having been roblwd and maltreated by the negroes , mustered ; orce enough to attack and destroy a ( own hy way of revenge . Let me say , on the authority of a highly _Ksprciahlc person who was in the squabble , that the American side of the story will be found worth listening to . The Urilisli agents
are endeavouring ! o make a dreadful ease of it , but ' audi alteram partem . ' A very respectable Scotchman long resident in that part of the world , called on me on Saturday , and I learned _frum bim , that since the Americans have appeared on the San Juan , very great and favourable changes have _alrearh taken place . Large quantities ol houses and lumber have been sent up the San Juan in schooners which have been able to get up : within forty miles of the lake . '

_^ _TTTworn ia A free _SxATB . -The steamer Emq .. IT bv choosing Robert Semple , of the _SSo _' _sSora _, _Present . The _mtnton , _«* 2 oath to support the Constitution of the United States Some were opposed to organising a State eovernme . it _; but a majority of the Convention were _o ? a _different opinion , and the objectors gave way The vote stood eight to twenty-eight . Ihe firai section ofth e Constitution affirms , in the words ol the preamble to the Declaration of Independence , ' that all men are by nature free , ' & c . The seventeenth section refers to slavery , and is thus explicitly worded :- 'Neither slavery , nor Involuntary
Servitude , unless as a Punishment of Crime , shall ever be tolerated in this State . '—So far satisfactory . But how speedily do the Californians forget their assertion about tbe equably of all menl They no sooner set about settling the suffrage question , than they bejrin 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 the coloured man , go where he will , under the flag of tbe United States , insulted and degraded . We are thankful , howe « r , for the clause prohibiting slavery . This is the result of the large emigration from the Free States . It is probably different from
what was anticipated by our slaveholdmg government . The South , no doubt , hoped to extend ber _patriarchal reign over the territory , In this , Calhoun and company are disappointed , Slavery will not be permitted in California . — ' North Star . '—( We observe iu the Washington correspondence of the New York 'Tribune' a statement to the effect , that Mr . Calhoun will resist tbe admission of California as a state into the Union , with a restriction of slavery as a part of its organio law . He takes the ground that California has no right to exclude slaves , and _ihsreby exclude slave-holders from ber soil , the _sovereignty over which belonged to every citizen of tbe United _^ States , and must he 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 , wbich had created very great _excitemant . We extract tbe iollowing from the many and vamus 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 not heard of until the Friday following . Mcanwhil » , a reward of 4 , 00 fj dollars was offerrd for his discovery .
( From The 'Boston Evening Transcript , ' Dec . 1 . ) 'Since last evening _otr whole population bas been in a state of the greatest possible excitement in consequence of the astounding rumour that the body of Dr . Parkman bas been discovered , and that Dr . John W . Webster , professor of chemistry in the Medical school of Harvard College , and a gentleman connected by marriage with some of our most distinguished families , has been arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of being the murderer . Incredulity , then amazement , and the blank , unspeakable horror , have been the emotions , which bave agitated the public mind as the rumour has gone on , gathering countenance and confirmation . Never ,
in ihe annals of crime m Massachusetts , has such a _sfnsr . tion been produced . The principal reasons for the suspicions assigned are as follows : —Dr . Parkman held a note for 450 dollars against Professor vVehster , which had long been 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 ihe officer who disposed of the tickets for Professor Webster ' s course of lectures , to know if there was a
sufficient balance due for the professor to take up bis note . This circumstance is said to bare greatly incensed Professor Webster , who , on Friday morning of last week , called at Dr . Parkman ' s house , No . 8 , _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 _; bnt was never seen to come out .
' It is said Professor Webster admits that Dr . Parkman was at the College about the time meniiw _\ ed , awl vbat , althoug h he asserts be paid bim 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 » f the College building and grounds , was induced to break the partition wall to the vault under the urivaie laboratory of Professor Webster , in the basement of the building , and there discovered one leg and a portion of the trunk of a human corpse , iu a condition which made it apparent that the remains bad not long bacn there deposited . The discovery , with the fact that Professor Webster is not
aa anatomist or surgeon , but simply a -chemist , and laving 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 foull y and diabolically murdered . Professor Webster was accordingli arrested at his residence in Cambridge , by officers Clapp and Rice , and lodged in _Levevett-street gaol last ni ght to await further developement . We learn that a fur . iher and a thoroug h investigation was made in the professor ' s laboratory this morning , when in the asbe 3 of his furnace were found pieces of bone from
the skull and mher 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 ibe _lecture-room above , were found spots made by a strung acid capable of destroying roaiks of blood which mi ght have been there spilled , or of almost instantly consuming the flesh , if thrown upon the person . It is known that Dr . _Pavkman carried a gold watch and wore some artificial teeth ; hut a * yet we do not barn that any real _identification li _2 s been made concerning these articles , or of the portion of ( he hodv founii . *
