From, the .Ne,rJuryport Herald.

1t is stated that Palmer confessed there
were nine persons concerned directly or
indirectly, in the murder OF Mr.. White
that he was not the first victim intended
two other persons, reputed to be wealthy,
having been marked out before him. One
Of these last was watched for some time,
but no fitting opportunity offered, for the
successful commission of the act. The
daggers used, he said, were melted and
the Ratchet concealed in place which he
designated. He confirms the statement
of Hatch, that the plot was contrived at
the gambling house. During the pro-
gress of the examination, it is said his
father appeared and urged him to dcsist
from further confessions, which he accord
ingly did. Palmer is saiIi 70 be n young
man, and was in the Maine State Prison
before he was nineteen.
The Boston Saturday Evening Gazette
says, we have this day received official in
teligcnce that the elder Knapp has made
full confession of all the facts connected
with the bloody transaction--and it il
probable he will be used Ms witness by
the Government in the prosecution. We
have received series of particular facts
disclosed by Knapp, many of which we
forbcnr to insert upon the suggestion of
some ofthc Committee OF Vigilance that
they wish very little published Mt the
presen moment. The public, however,
are impatient to understand who are the
essential circumstances developed by
knapp's disclosure. We can only say
that they implicate himself as an accesso
ry before the fact--and Richard Crown
inshiold as the william who perpetrated
the murder. The confessed motives
which led to tho act on the part of either
Knapp or Crowninshicld-and other parts
ofthe disclosure, we omit. Parts of the
dirk, with which the stabs were inflicted,
have been found.

shields, was apprehcnded in Prospect, a
town adjoing this, and examined before q
magistrate, when from a disclosure offacts,
circumstances and confessions Of the pris-
.oner, not doubt exists that he is in pos
session ofthe whole mystery,--knows the
persons who committed the murder-the
person who procured it donc--and tho
inducement and motives which operated
on the minds Of both parties.
A letter, written by the prisoner to
gentleman in Salem, requesting the loan
Of $3.50, threatening the disclosure Of u
transaction which would harrow up his
soul" in case of refusal, which letter prov
identially tell into other hands, led to this
detection. From the respectability Of
other persons implicated in the murder,
we forbear at present to mention their
names.
A further examination viii probably de-
vclope the connecting links Of a chain Of
the most extraordinary circumstances ever
disclosed to the public. Suffice it now
to say, that it appears from the confess
ions OF the prisoner, that the Crownin-
shields are the only persons now arrested
in Salem who ware probably concerned
in the murder. Others will be taken into
custody, no doubt, as soon as the result is
known there. We shall then give our
readers such facts as arc proper to be mar
rated without prejudice to trial Of the
accused.

THE SALEM MURDER.

From the salem Gazette OF FRIDAY 18TH.
Two otter persons were arrested at
Wenham on Wednesday evening last, as
accomplices in the murder Of Capt. Jos.
White. their names are Capt. Joseph
J. Knapp Jun. and Capt. John F. Knapp
masters ofvessels. They are goung men,
belonging toa very respectable family,
and the first was son-in-law Of the lady
who was niece of Capt. White and for
many years had lived in his family as
housekeeper.
This arrest we understand has been
made in consequence Of disclosures re-
Gently made by man arrested few
days ago near, Belfast, in the State Of
Maine, by the name of Palmer. Palmer
was in this town from the 23d Of Feb. till
the funeral Of Capt. White. In his dis
closure he mentions that he staid at the
La Faycttc Coffee House some time un-
der the assumed name of Carr ; and on
recurring to the books Of that establish
ment it appears that a stranger who called
his name Carr remained there two weeks
without appearing to have any business
or any acquaintance in town, and spent
his time in reading and in retirement.
The arrest OF Palmer was made in con-
sequence Of letter received here about
ten days ago, by mail, from the vicinity
Of Belfast, addressed to "Capt. J.Knapp,"
purporting to come from one Grant, de-
manding money to be sent to him by mail,
to be left at the Post Office in the town
of Prospect-a person then went from this
town, deposited in that Post Office let
ter with money in it, addrc ssed to Grant,
after waiting few days, a person ap-
peared and called for the letter, saying
his name was Grant ,--the letter was de-
livered to him, and as he was about to re-
tire from the Post Office with it, an Off
Ger stepped forward and arrested him. 1t
turned out that his name was not Grant,
but Palmer, and that his place of resi-
denco was in another town. lie il now
IN custody, and is to be brought to this
town.
A search was made yesterday, under
warrant from Mr.. Justice Savage, about
the premises of the Crowninshields, in
Danyers, hut we believe the objects sought
tor were not discovered,
The Knapps are committed to goal for
Examination.

THE ADVOCATE.


BY Societies now-a-days. There must be
Charitable Societies, Sunday School So
cie:ies, Temperance Societies, and Bible
Societies. There must be great National
Societies, and State Societies, and httle
to,sn Societies. 1t is good thing to
spread the bible, to teach children how to
read, and il is good thing to be tenn
perate; but in what way are these things
aided by great Societies ? can't stay at
home and be temperate and charitable |!
what is the need of all this fuss , There
n my uncle John, used to 60 a delegate
to one Of these great Sunday School So
cieties, and one time he spent as much
money while he was gone, as fifteen mem
bers paid into the funds to buy books for
the children, in a whole year--this. was
his expenses, and thought if he had
staid at home, and given that money to
tho poor children, il would have looked
more like doing business. But however,
il is well enough to have Societies and do
good things, ifit don't cost more than it
comes to, and under the cover of doing
good things, they don't do bad things. II
you make great professions and don't
come up to them, why it is worse than as
though you had kept still in the first plase.
Now there is Jim jarvis, has joined the
temperance society, and the dog gets fud-
died every day by drinking cider. Some
Of these societies appear to be got up by
persons, who want honor from them, and
to be sure it sounds very well to have your
name printed in large letters-ME.
