Prof Webster, Sc, &c.
Some days since we published a des-
patch from Boston, mentioning the arrest of
Prof. Webster, on suspicion Of having muir
dered the missing DIR. Parbman. The fol-
lowing from the Boston Courier of Satur-
day evening week, gives the particulars Of
the arrest and the circumstances which led to
lit:
CDR. Webster" says the Courier, has
been for upwards of twenty years, Professor
of Chemistry at Cambridge. He has wide
circle of acquaintance. and has maintained
throughout life an unblemished reputation
He has paid a strict attention to the duties
of his profession, and his conduct has been
marked by uniform sobriety and steadiness.
His disposition was frank and open, his man
ners lively and social he was esteemed by all
who knew him as a good citizen, 4 peacea-
BITE neighbor,, and a kind and aHectionate hus-
band and father In every moral and intel
lec,ual characteristic, he might be regarded
It's one who was placed beyond the suspicion
oil tendency to the commission of a crime.
IL IS hardly necessary to say that the shock of
this sudden and most unexpected disclosure
has fallen with terrible weight upon his fami-
~ and friends"
When it was decided to arrest Professor
Webster, officers CIapp, Starkweather and
Spur proceeded to his residence in Cambridge
in carriage, for that purpose. Upon alight-
ing from the carriage, a short distance from
Professor Webster's residence, the officers
found at the gateway a gentleman opening
the gate to leave, and Professor Webster
standing in the doorway of his house. TheI
officers and the Professor went into his study
and Col. Clapp informed him that the rela-
tives were DESTROYS that further and more
thorough examination should be made of the
college, and wished to have him present at
the time. Professor Webster put on hist
boots, coat and hat, and accompanied the Of |
ficers out Of the house without seeing his wife,
and took seat in the carriage with them. A |
general conversation took place between the
parties in which the subject ofDr Parkman's
was but slightly touched upon
and Professor Webster said the family must

LOUISA RAIL ROAD.

A Bill has been reported TO the House of Del
egates to change the name of the Louisa Compa-
ny 10 that Of the Virginia Central Rail Road
Company, and to guaranty the bonds Of the said
Company.
The Bill reported, heretofore, forthe extension
of the Louisa Rail Road to Covington and for the
construction of Rail Road, on State account,
thence to steamboat navigation on the Kanawha,
came up for discussion on Wednesday. Mr. Sc
gar had moved to amend:
"By providing al present only for the extension of the
railroad TO Covng'on; changing The time within which
the james River and Kanawha Company may locate
their route, from To two years. and in place of the
appropriation for the railroad West Of Covington declar-
ing that ,rhen HE said road shall be completed 10 a
point al or near Corngton. The State shall procde, as
mag be, for It's extension from such point 10 The
head Of steamboat navigation The Kana,cha."
After long debate the 9th section of the bill
was substituted by Mr.. Segar's amendment, and
the bill was then ordered to be engrossed-vote
not stated. As we understand it, the State sub
scribes three fiiths of the money necessary to
make the road from Staunton to Covlngton, and
pledges its faith to extend the road hereafter to
the kanawha on State account.
