THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEEs.-The brief in

firm the rumor by the previous on that the
Hungarians are to be imprisoned in Turkey
TO crafty Nicholas, and it is probably untrue
Still they appear, by letters from Widden, to
be under close surveillance. The rooms in
which they are confined are every moment
visited by soldiers or police and if they stir
out, they are, either on foot or on horseback,
everywhere followed by armed patrols. The
refugee soldiers, enclosed within the Gordon
Of their camp, without coverings insufficiently
clothed, and suffering with cholera, are ex-
posed TO the hotssun by day, and TO the bitter
cold and Danube dews by night, while their
converted brethren roam at large in the free
enjoyment of the abundance lavish piety
showers upon them.

HUNGARY.

A banquet was recently given al Hamburgh
in honor of several distinguished refugees
who had arrived there from. Hungary.--A-
mongst the number was Klapka, the defender
Of Comorn and one of the truest patriots of
the Hungarian struggle. One ofthe speakers
on the occason, having exclaimed, ''Hungary
is crushed to death" Klapka instantly re-
piled:
"No! no! Hungary is not crushed TO death
she is but little relaxed from her horrible
struggle with two overwhelming powers !;
but verify she wants only a breath to inhame
her again TO a second heroical insurreciion." !"
The following has been translated for the
Journal of Commerce, from some Of the Ger
man papers;
Gorgey was characterized by General Kappa
a real traitor and common-p place ego,st, dest-
tute of a lofty inspirations for the holy cause
of liberty. He further believes that Gorgey,
who has been overrated, may not have de-
spised Russian gold but tits not ascertained
though no doubt exists, that he frustrated
the plan of Kossuh for annhilatng the Aus
tran Government at Vienna, last spring
which was matter of no difficulty before
the inroad of The Russians, as the Austrians
were at that time entirely routed.
Gorgey also anxously concealed from the
the Hungarian army the report ofthe glorious
sally of the garrison of Comorn on the Sd of
August, under Klapka and did it not become
known till after his detection on the 18th OF
August The disastrous catastrophe at Villa
sos was to such degree perplexing, that
every nope from resistance vanished. Klapka
was at that time recruiting 5000 men, and
preparing for an invasion of Styria.
The highest veneration is paid by Klapka
to the genius and greatness of the character
of Kossuih. In Klap&a's opinion, Kossu,b Is
worth 100, 900 Hungarians; but Kossu,h arm.
ed too much at once, and was too decided
for the entire independence of Hungary, and
for republican government. But for this
the most favorable conditions would have
been agreed to, in the spring, by Austria
under English and French guaranty.

The Body of DR.. Parkman Identified.

BOSTON, December 3.
The teeth and jaw found in Prof. Webser's
CRATE have been identified by DR.. Keep, the
dentist who operated on DR.. Parkman's mouth
a short time since. The jaw also fits the
mould taken at that time. The family of
DR.. p has claimed the body for interment,
and have had the same encased in a leaden box

in the ribs, through into the cavity Of the

TO refer to some accomplice) has BETRAYED

sort afloat, but how much credit to attach to
them we leave our readers TO Judge.
We learn that farther and thorough in.
vestigation was made in the professors labo.
ratory this morning, when in the ashes of his
furnace were found pieces OF bone from the
skull and other parts of a mans head, TO-
gether with several false teeth, some coat
buttons, and some grains Of gold, apparently
from watch melted down. On the stairs
leading from the laboratory TO the lecture
room above, were found spots made by
strong acid capable of destroying marks Of
blood which might have been there spilled,
or of almost instantly consuming the flesh if
thrown upon the person.
1t is stated as suspicious fact in connec-
ton with the recent unusual closeness of Pro.
fessov Webster's laboratory, that from its
chimney an uncommonly dense and constant
smoke has been observed to issue for several
days past, and that great amount of pitch
pine kindlngs has been used there.
Saturday morning brought with it still fur
lher discoveries. Officer Rice, in arranging
things in the laboratory, found: in "A recess
formed by the brick-work of the furnace and
chimney, tea-ches,, apparently filed with
specimens Of minerals, but emitting strange
odor He at once upset the chest, and found
in the bottom, imbedded in hemlock bark,
the left thigh, and the half-roasted trunk OF
the body. The skin had been wholly bnrnt
or stripped off from the trunk. The thigh
was only stained with the bark. All the
parts found are such in size that they may
very well have belonged TO DR.. P's body
The missing portions, and supposed 10 have
been burnt up, are the head, contents OF the
body, left leg and foot, arms and hands, and
right foot.
Among the secondary facts, it may be sta
ted that four bloody towels were found in the
vault very large clasp knife, with hunting
figures on the blade, was found with the trunk
in the tea-chest; some grapples, made OF cod

were found in DR.. Webster's apparatus room
This room is in the rear of the lecture room
and connected with it by door. On the
inner side of the apparatus room is a large
| closet, with several hundred bottles of chemi'
Gals, arranged on shelves. Near the door ot
this closet, on the floor, commence scattered
marks of blood, which extend the whole
length of the apparatus room, and appear or
nearly every step of the stairs leading from
the room down into the laboratory. DR.. Web
ster's official duties as professor required o
him no handling Of bodies; nor was it allow
able to have subjects in that part of the build
ing. On Sunday, pair of trowsers, marked
with DR. Webster's name, and with marks o
blood upon them, were found in the large
closet; also, under settee in the room, ;
pair of slippers, marked with spots of blood
also, small saw, with blood stain.

Correspondence Of the Public Ledger
FROM WARRINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, 1S49.
There is some danger now of general
row in the House Of Representatives. Should
the election Of Speaker be delayed by se-
ries Of unsuccessful ballots, which would force
both great parties in Congress and the country
to SPLIT up into fragments, there exists strong
probability that we shall have a bois.erous,
perhaps disgraceful session Of Congress,
notice that, for the last two days, there does
not exist between members Of opposite par
ties that friendly and even polite intercourse
which, in former days, marked the gentle
man Of either, and distinguished society in
the metropolis from that Of other cities in
the Union. see that the Wings have COM
ple,ely separated from the Democrats, and
the Free Sellers will hold no communication
either with Democrats or Wings. On the
other hand, it cannot be denied that the cor
dial support which MIR. Howell Cobb has re.
ceived from the Democratic party, South and
North, show that the national heart is still
beating in its right place, and that the Union
with all rational and thinking men, is still
considered the palladium Of our liberty.
| The Calhoun men of the south do not give
cordial support to Mr.. Cobb; and dare moi
lump over the caucus wall. In conversation
they frankly admit that they would as soor
see Whig organization Of the House as q
Democratic one; their object being really tc
disorganize rather than to build. They labo
under the singular delusion that the whole
federal compact which binds them 10 The
north is radically wrong and that the only
way to put it right, is 10 annul it and max,
a new one. Children have never played
moIe foolishly with razors than these self
same Calhoun men play with the union o
the States, and the honor and prosperity o
the country.
