A person named James Healey led the way, by scaling the wall of the ward, which is connected with the boundary wall at right angles. He accom plished this by lashing together three long brush handles, on which he climbed. He soon suc ceeded in reaching the outer wall, which is only about eight feet higher than the other ; and by means or a rope ti e d t o th e projecting spikes,descended i nto the adjoining premises. Fortunately, however, Mr. Dixon's (the gaoler) suspicions having been excited during the day, he had ordered the turnkey to keep a close watch upon the prisoners; and when a second party, named Griffith, was preparing to make his descent, the turnkey entered and gave the alarm. Mr. Dixon immediately proceeded to the other side of the wall, and having secured Griffith, w, nt in search of Healey, whom he eventually found snugly siivated un der a flight of stairs leading from the garden to the parapet of the town walls, resting his body on a plank which projected from the prison wall, and sheltered from view by the lath work. The rope, which was in pieces of about two yards in length, must have been thrown over the walls to the prisoners, as there was none within their reach.—/Verth Wales Gazette. Ton ROM,SN CATHOLIC PRIMACY IN IRELAND.-- The Freeman's Journal states, on the authority of a letter received from Rome, dated the 14th inst , that the Very Rev. Dr. Cullen. President of the Irish College in the Holy City, has been appointed successor to the late Archbishop Crolly in the Roman Catholic Primacy of Ireland. :ADYEW THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS. Yesterday forenoon the thermometer, which during the night of Sunday had fallen to 27, rose as high a 3 48 degrees, with a bright clear sky ; but at six last evening the mercury had again fallen to within one degree of freezing point, and from the rapid fall of the glass within so short a period, here seemed every probability of the frost continuing for scene time longer. The barometer stood at 30.61, with a rising wind from the N N.W. The frost, which continued during Sunday night, had the effect of freezing over those portions of the ice in the ornamental waters of the various royal parks which had become thawed during the middle of the previous day, making the whole much firmer; but, notwithstanding, the ice was far from being safe, and boards announcing that fact were stuck along the banks of St. James's and Hyde parks. From the sloppy state of the streets in the metropolis during the day pedestrians would imagine that the frost had entirely gone; but sucn was not the case in the suburb ,, , for even at Hyde park corner he roads and footpaths were perfectly dry, and in many cases quite slippery from the ice upon them. Subjoined is a list of the official returns made to Mr. Williams, the superintendent of the Royal flunune Society, detailing the state of the ice in the different parks, and the number of accidents yet-terday. THE SERPENTINE, II YDE• PA RIC—TEe. ice was 1k inches in thickness, and very dangerous Although this fact was publicly announced by printed bills upwards of 2,000 skaters and sliders went upon it. No accident, however, took place until a quarter to four in the afternoon, when two young children fell through a hole into five feet of water. They were saved by iceman Thomas Dixon, just as they were going out of sight. The children could not tell their names. [he only other acci-lent happened to two gentlemen, who fell through into eight feet of water, but they were got out by one of the society's men with only a wetting. THE ROUND POND, KENSI NGTON • GARDENS.--Th e ice here was described as being an inch-and-ahalf in thickness, and very dangerous. The number of skaters and sliders about one thousand. About three o'clock in the afternoon an accident happened near the island on the north bank, by which the lives of a highly respectable family of six persons were greatly jeopardised. At that perid Mr. John Merriman, surgeon, of No. 9, Kensington -square, his son 1 homas, his two eldest daughters, and two young ladies of the name of White, relatives, were proceed ing arm-in-arm across the ice, when it suddenly broke, and the whole of the parties fell into eight feet of water. At first the death of some of the persons seemed inevitable, and before they could be rescued, one of the Misses White went under the ice. Icemen Deze and Cook immediately pro ceeded to the scene of the accident, with breaker ladders and the sledge. After considerable trouble the whole of the persons, with the exception of Miss White, were extricated ; and to rescue her one of the icemen was obliged to put his arm under water, as far as his shoulder, when he happily succeeded in reaching her, and pulling her out. She was, of course, much exhausted, and had she been under the ice much longer, she must have lost her life. The residence of Mr. Merriman being nearer than the Royal Humane Society's receiving house, the party were taken there. No other accident of any import. ance happened here. THE LONG WATER, KENSINGTON GARDENS. -- The ice here was returned as being two inches thick, and, although firmer than in other places, was dan gerous. The noblemen and gentlemen belonging to the Skating Club mustered in strong numbers during the day. 'There were also about 1,500 other persons on the ice, but no accident happened. THE R EGENT'S - PARE..--ollly one portion of the ice in this park could be pronounced as tolerably firm, the other parts being very dangerous ; notwithstand ing, about 10,000 persons amused themselves by sliding and skating upon it. The only accident, how ever, that occurred was to a lady and gentleman, who fell through the ice into deep water, but were soon rescued by the icemen. ST. JAMES'S. PARK.—The surface of the ice in the ornamental water of this park having become ice-set during the night, induced an immense number of persons to venture upon it. About eleven o'clock the ice was literally crowded, when it indicated symptoms of breaking in. The Royal Humane Society's men at once ordered the people off, which prevented many An accident from taking place. It was ascertained that M. Soyer, who became immersed the previous hi s day, was, although ou t o f d anger, obliged to keep bed. 'EI:IL COUNTRY MARKETS.

Yesterday afternoon, a few minutes before six o'clock, the room in the Court House, occupied by the jury of inquest, summoned by Coroner Pratt, in the Parkman case, was thrown open, and the reporters of the various papers admitted. Coroner Pratt s'ated that in accordance with the opinion expressed by the Attorney-General of the Commonwealth, Mr. Clifford, and by a vote of the jury, in which vote Le concurred, the evidence before the inquest would be kept secret from every body until laid before the grand jury. He remarked that the inquest had been in session ten days, and had examined a large number of witnesses, and that their evidence occupied over eighty large foolscap pages of writing paper. He then said that the verdict which had been agreed upon would be made public, and accordingly the secretary of the inquest, Mr. Andrews, was directed to read the verdict as duly recorded, which he did, and it is in the following language:— " SUFFOLK, ss.—An inquisition taken at the city of Boston, within the county of Suffolk, 13th day of December, in the year of our Lord 1849, before Jabez Pratt, Esq , one of the coroners of said county, upon the view of sundry parts of the body of a dead man, viz., a thorax, kidneys, pelvis, two thighs, left leg, and sundry bones, there lying dead, by the oaths of Osmyn Brewster, John L. Andrews, Pearl Martin, Thomas Restieux, Lewis Jones, and Harm Merrill, good and lawful men, who being charged and sworn to inquire for the commonwealth, when, how, and by what means the said dead man came to his death, upon their oaths do say—that they all have been demonstrated to be parts of one and the same person —that these parts of the human frame have been identified and proved to he the remains and parts of the dead body and limbs of Dr. George Park man, late a citizen of said Boston, aged about sixty years—that he came to his death by violence, at said Boston, on the 23d day of November last, or between the hours of one and a half of the clock, in the afternoon of that day (about which time he entered alive and in good health, into the Massachusets Medical College building, situate in North Grove street, in said Boston), and the hour of rour of the clock in the afternoon of the 30th day of November last (when a portion of the said remains were concealed in and under the apartments of Dr. John W. Webster, of Cambridge, in the county of Middlesex, in said college building), in which build ing the residue of said remains were afterwards dis covered ; that he was killed in said college building by a blow or blows, wound or wounds, inflicted upon him with some instrument or weapon to the jurors unknown, and by :means not yet known to said jurors, and that said blow or blows, wound or wounds, were inflicted upon him, and said means were used by the hands of said Dr. John W. Webster, by whom he was killed. In witness whereof the said coroner and jurors to this inquisition have set their hand and seals the day and year above said. " Jabez Pratt, coroner ; Osmyn Brewster, foreman ; John L. Andrews, secretary ; Pearl Martin, Thomas Restieux, Lewis Jones, Harum Merrill." (From the Boston Transcript, Dec. 14.) The verdict of the coroner, pronouncing Professor Webster guilty of the murder of Dr. Parkman, does not seem to have occasioned much surprise. For some days the public mind has been prepared for such a result, in consequence of developments, to which we have already alluded, tending to show that the murder was premeditated. The coroner's jury have spoken their convictions freely and fully, without bias, we believe, from any opinion outside the room, where their protracted and careful inquiry was conducted. It now remains to extend to the prisoner a fair trial before the high legal tri bunal of the state. And we trust that the agitation which has existed upon this melancholy subject may be stilled during the interval. IVe learn that Pro fessor Webster's appearance to day is precisely the same which it has been of late --that although he has read time finding of the coroner's inquest, it has not disturbed him in the least, and he remains perfectly calm and self possessed. He is in good health and apparently quite contented in his situation, and satis fied with the treatment which he receives from the officers of the gaol. It has been reported that his cell was better furnished, and his fare more sumptuous than other prisoners. We are informed that his accommodations are only improved by the allowance of some footmats; but it is true that his food is furnished by his friends from Parker's restaurant in Court-square. Professor Webster's time is employed i n rea di ng and epistolary correspo wholly ndence ' with his friends. _TISEMENT ]—The wonderful Cures per formed by Holloway's Pills astonish everybody.

Feilder The examination of a number of witnesses pro and al and the learned defence set up by Mr. Ainsworth. which he sought to prove that cats belonged to the ord o fees 7v:tura, and were consequently worse than valu e less, afforded considerable amusement, to which P o judge contributed not a little, by observing that the 0 05 j was of too much importance to be decided at once, on,. he should th ere f ore reserve his decision till nest cour,: The judge, M r . J. A ddison, said that there were eertsr ancient dicta, to the effect that cats and dogs were worth less. less. In modern times, however, there were particul,' laws relating to dog-stealing; but as the cat in questio; seemed to be a valuable animal to the owne and ssi was against hi s express prohibition that the r, defends°, shot the ca t, h e s h ould decide in favour of the plaintiff.'
