A NOVEL. 0 0 D.
" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a NV rlter of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essa s
on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has market per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
nerses, and Smythes."—Observer.
" Silwced' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The ether ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
Impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

Assembly were yet resounding with that prediction.
Meantime Democracy remains serene in the midst of '
its invulnerable principles; it can afford to await in
patience the hour of its fulfilment.

Our impression of Wednesday contained one of
the most remarkable confessicns relating to a tragedy
of real life that ever fell from a convicted criminal in
any part of the globe. It is the statement of Pro-
fessor WEBSTER, detailing the full particulars of the
melancholy transaction by which one gentleman, a
man of education and learning, was suddenly hurried
into the presence of his CREATOR, " unanointed,
unanealed," with all his sins fresh upon him, and
without any preparation for the momentous change,
and by which another, of considerable acquirements,
and who had previously occupied a peaceful and
tranquil position, imparting scientific instruction to
those about to become members of a learned profes-
sion, has forfeited his life to the offended laws of his
country. Although some time has elapsed
since the discovery of the murder of Dr.
PARKMAN, and although it occurred in ano-
ther hemisphere, and could not therefore be
supposed to excite so deep a sensation of horror as
a homicide committed in our immediate neighbour-
hood, at our very threshold.s, much interest was felt
even in the country respecting the fatal occurrence,
while among our Transatlantic brethren it created a
feeling not surpassed by that occasioned by the acts of
Rum or the MANNINGS in merry England.
The entire transaction was enveloped in the deep-
est mystery. Many persons gave implicit credence
to the assertions of the accused, who in the strongest
terms protested his entire innocence of any participa-
tion in the sanguinary outrage. There was no direct
testimony that his had been the hand to deprive his
victim of life, and afterwards, by a refinement of
what might be considered cold-blooded cruelty, to
dismember the lifeless corse, and make away with the
disjecta membra, the mutilated and scattered remaies.
But there was a mass of circumstantial evidence that
could leave no rational doubt of his guilt—no link in
the chain was wanting, and, after a patient and pro-

tracted investigation, the verdict was pronounced
which must consign Professor WEBSTER to a painful
and ignominious death, unless the parties to whom
the prerogative of mercy is entrusted by the Repub-
lican institutions of the United States, should believe
that there were extenuating circumstances which
would warrant them in mitigating the capital
punishment, and dispensing with the extreme penalty
of the law.

Such a confession as that, which we pre-
sented to our readers on Wednesday, must
ever be received with suspicion. The
criminal even at the last moment of his
existence, when all earthly hope bath passed away,
even at the very moment of resigning himself into
the hands of the executioner, is often nervously
sensitive respecting big character, to divest the
" affair" for which he has been condemned of its
most atrocious incidents, and to cause himself to be
regarded, so far as practicable, as " the victim of
circumstances" over which he had no control, and

thus to obtain the public sympathy for himself and
his surviving family. This suspicion must neces-
sarily be increased when the confession is made, not
merely to gratify the public curiosity after his death,
but also as a means of inducing his judges to take
a lenient view of the case, and thus to obtain
an extension of mercy for himself—a prolongation of
his own miserable existence—although it may be
dragged on in a dungeon, in the most deplorable
wretchedness. The document must therefore be
scanned with a curious eye. Every point must be
subjected to the closest scrutiny, and if it does not
hang well together, if there is anything strained or
improbable that is not consistent with the various
acts that have been elicited during the judicial inves-

tigation, and with the previous dispositions and cha-
racters of the parties concerned, of the murderer and
his victim, it must be altogether rejected as unworthy
of credence, or so far received only as it may be sus-
tained and borne out by the ascertained facts.
But the narrative to which we have referred will
bear the application of the moat stringent tests.
There is a verisimilitude, a vraisemblance running
through it, that may defy the most acute and even
prejudiced critic, and convince the world that it

has heard an " ower true tale," descriptive no

only of the death of Dr. PARKNIIN, and the subse-
quent proceedings of his murderer, bat also of the
motives and causes that produced that untoward re-
sult which involved several respectable families in the
deepest misery and suffering. A strong moral may
also be deduced, warning with a voice of thunder
against the dangers of indulging in abusive language,
or suffering the angry passions to obtain uncontrolled
dominion, so that one hasty and ungoverned act may

lead to a labyrinth of crime and mendacity, from which
extrication is impracticable.
The entire circumstances of the case must be so
fully in the recollection of our readers, that it is un-
necessary to make more than a brief and paesing
allusion thereto. Dr. PARKUAN, a highly respectable
medical practitioner, was suddenly missing from his
usual places of resort in the latter end of November
last, and after his absence was unaccounted for a few
days, the most gloomy anticipations were entertained
as to his probable fate. Strict inquiries were instituted,
and it was ascertained that the last time he was seen
alive he was about visiting Professor WEBSTER, who
was indebted to him in a considerable amount,

the non-payment of which had excited Dr
PARILMAN'S anger in no ordinary degree.
He was traced to the lecture-room of Professor
WEBSTER in the middle of the day, about half-past

one, P.M., on Friday, the 231 of November. No
tidings of him could be learned subsequently to that
visit. He had unquestionably entered the fatal
apartment, but it could not be discovered that he
had ever emerged therefrom ; there were
" Vesiigia nulla retrorsum."

It is almost unnecessary to say that the apartments
of the Professor and all the places communicating
therewith, in which the body, or even any portion of
the property of Dr. PARKMAN could by any possi-
bility be concealed, were subjected to the most strin-
gent scrutiny, and at length the mutilated remains
were discovered, partly concealed in a sink and
partly buried in a cellar, to which there was
means of access from the lecture-rooms of
the Professor, who was thereupon taken into cus-
tody, and subsequently convicted of the murder ;
a writ of error, which had been preferred on his behalf,
being decided against him. There is now pending
a petition for the commutation of the punishment, and
the confession under notice, purporting to give an
accurate account of the entire transaction, has been
brought before the Council, whose decision will be
conclusive as to the fate of the prisoner, by the Rev.
Dr. PUTMAN, who is styled his, " spiritual adviser."
For these facts we refer to that extraordinary docu-

meat which appeared in extenso in The Sun of Wed-
nesday. It will be seen that the convict acknow-
ledges the homicide, but positively asserts that
it was wholly unpremeditated—that it arose, in
fact, from the momentary impulse of passion,
occasioned by the gross and unwarrantable language
of the deceased. It is scarcely probable that if the
murder had been planned with malice aforethought
that Professor WEBSTER would have invited his in-
tended victim some days previously to his own lec-
ture-room, in the most public hour of the day,
when the precincts of the place intended to be con-
verted into a human shambles would most probably
be crowded with students—and that by an unsealed
note; and that he would have called at Dr. PARK..
sieN's house on the very morning. Had the murder
been at that time determined, some other time and
place would have been selected. The remainder of
the statement follows naturally enough. Dr. PARK-
MuArNs t

was
not t o receive his
calling s money,
the
b
Professor " scoundrel and liar, and heaping on him
the most bitter taunts and opprobrious epithets." The
debtor who, according to his own statement, was
"irritable and passionate," who declares that " a
qubiecskehttaing sin of hisndedandb life;riefthatviolence h
ofe h
temper pteen an o
rhad beennly
a
child, much indulged, and had never acquired. the
control over his passions that should have been ac-
quired in early life," speedily grew indignant in
turn. He ceased to apologise, and at length on Dr.
PARKMAN " thrusting his flit in his face," he seized a
stick that happened to be lying by, and with it dealt
a single blow, which speedily proved fatal. In the
deepest terror and remorse he endeavoured to re-
animate his victim, but in vain. Life had fled, and
he found himself a homicide without the possibility of

establishing the extenuating circumstances of the case.
The other revolting facts, the dismemberment and
concealment of the body naturally followed the first
fatal error, and afford a further illustration of the
truth of the old adage, " Nemo repente fuit turpis-

simus."

The fate of the murderer is as yet unknown in this
country. A salutary warning may, however, be
drawn from the entire transaction against the habitual
use of intemperate language, which occasioned the
death of Dr. PARKMAN, and against giving way to
angry passions, which has led to a man of education
and ability, and of great sensibility of disposition,
which rendered him beloved by all his friends and
acquaintances, being degraded from a respectable po-
sition in society to that of a convicted murderer,
awaiting in trembling and agonised terror the final
decision which may consign him to an ignominious
death, or, under the most favourable circumstances,
must condemn him to perpetual incarceration, which
by many may be regarded as the more formidable
branch of the alternative.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Assembly voted the payment of the dowry of
the Duchess of ORLEANS by a majority of 368 to 177
The speech of General De L4MORICIERE has caused
terrible alarm among the Enfans terribles of the
Ely 42, of whom M. DE MONTALEMBERT is to be
reckoned as one. " The Empire without its genius, its
grandeur, or its glory," is one of those mots which
in France tell frequently more effectively than blows.
The disputes between General D'fisuzrouL and
General CBANGARNIER have become of so aggravated
a character that the former has, it is said, been forced
to retire from the Ministry of War ;.it is added that
General D'llAirrour, intends explaining to the .A.s-
semb ly the reasons which have led to his retirement
from office, and directing attention to the danger
to be apprehended from the misuse by General Cueri-
GARNIEIL of the enormous powers entrusted to him.
The Presse gives the following as some of the
results of the new Electoral Law in the depart-
ments :

" Everywhere," says the Presse—" it will Le ob-
served that half at least of the citizens previously
inscribed are excluded, whilst at Line, Amiens
Elbeuf, manufacturing towns, the proportion is
much larger; nearly three-fourths of the electoral po-
pulation will be deprived of their rights. At Angers
and Rennes tho loss is almost as great. The following
returns are from communes exclusively rural:—

Thus the electors of the country districts are, in many
places, stricken in proportion much more pitilessly than
those of towns."

was only released, after a thorough searching.
Public attention does occasionally require to be roused
to the position of railway companies, but it is extraor-
dinary that shareholders should, as a general rule, know
so little of their own affairs. The way to elicit truth is
to give a fair hearing to all sides, and if half be correct
of what is contained in a letter from Mr. Thomas
Wrigley, of Timberhurst, the condition of the East
Lancashire line must be extremely unsatisfactory,
though susceptible of great improvement. Much
in this communication would apply to the manage•
ment of railways in general, but space will nut
allow of our entering into those details, and we address
ourselves more particularly to one or two points, includ-
ing the great question of the day, Sunday travelling.
Mr. Wrigley observes :—" The directors have, in direct
violation of a vote of the proprietors, closed the railway
on a Sunday to that description of traffic called 'cheap
trips.' Whilst I exercise my own opinion on these
matters, I am at the same time wishful to be tolerant to
those of others, and all that I contend for is my right
to a voice in determining this question. The principle
upon which I raised the question last year was that
the directors had no right to assume this power.
That to suspend the profitable working of the railway
in any degree out of regard to their own peculiar views,
(granting them to be conscientious) is to appropriate the

sproperty- of the shareholders to their own iisc;, by pur-
chasing at our expense, the gratification they covet of
blockading the working classes of this densely peopled
district, in their smoky towns, in their ill-ventilated
houses, on this the only day in the week when they
have the opportunity to breathe God's pure atmosphere,
and admire his works, It is for the shareholders now
again to say if they approve of this appro-
priation by the directors. I call upon them to
say if this is to be a Puritanical railway,
and, like the Post-office, to be shut up on Sunday.
Thero should be no inconsistency. If it be allowed to
carry a gentleman who can pay 5e., it cannot be wrong
to carry a working man or his wife for 2s. 61. I con-
tend that the shareholders alone must determine this

question, and say whether this railway, now the high
road of the district, is to be made available for the ra-
tional and healthful recreation of the masses. Shall it
he made to promote the physical. social, and moral
welfare of tens of thousands of working men and
women, on the only day when they have the means
to write or read a letter, to visit a relative or friend, or

shall it be a power in the hands of half-a-I,zen men
who claim a monopoly of holiness, to use for their own
personal gratification? It is a principle that I shall
never cease to contend for, that so long as we outrage
neither law nor custom, we have a right to use the
railway for the accommodation of the public, and the
profit of the shareholders; end when I inform them
that this homage to cant is costing us on an average
3001. per weelr, through all the summer months, I think
they will be of opinion that we are paying rather dear
for this whistle of the directors.
"Let me caution you against a very common result in
railway difficulties, viz., a committee, or investigation,
or consultation ; it can serve no practical end ; there is
nothing to discover. The directors and their accounts
are honest and true—their very truthfulness is their
worst feature. You will see your capital is expended,
your railway incomplete, your traffic decreasing, at a
time when the whole district is enjoying un•.
exampled prosperity, the working expenses enor-
mously extravagant, and an entire absence of dividend.
What more do you require to know ? A change, a
thorough change of men, is the only course left for you.
The mere introduction of what is called new blood into
the board will not cure the evil, unless it eradicate,
root and branch, that which has bean the bane of this
railway, viz., the disposition to keep the management in
the hands of the directors. Apply the money now
taken by the directors to the payment of a manager,
and lot him have the opportunity of working the rail-
way clear of contending influences, with the single end
in view, the profit of the shareholders, and I feel con-
fident, with an honest energetic man in this position, we
shall see a change in the value of your proferty."

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.

The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to
this morning's market, coastwise and by land carriage,
was limited; but a large portion of Monday's unsold
supply was on off.r. Owing to the showery weather,
factors were tolerably firm in the early part of the day,
but subsequently they were compelled to accept is per
quarter less money for the middling and inferior kinds,
at !which the market closed heavily. Nearly 17,000
quarters of Foreign Wheat have come in this week. For
all descriptions, the demand was wholly in retail, and the
currencies were next to nominal. Scarcely a sample of
English Barley was shown; but the supply of Foreign
was good. Malting parcels were held at lull
prices. In other kinds next to nothing was doing.
The quantity of Malt at hand is only 1,130 quarters;
yet last week's quotations were barely supported. Very
few home-grown Oats were received, but not less than
31,840 quarters have arrived from abroad. Good sound
Corn was quite as dear, but damp qualities were easier.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Four were excessively
dull.
