The coroner's inquest in the case of the late Dr.
Parkman adjourned last night in consequence of
the disappearance of an important witness. Pub
lie curiosity is still in very feversh state few
days since there seemed To be a reaction in the
opinions OF people relative to the guilt Of Professor
Webster. Many persons to be found, who,
Notwithstanding the strong Prescriptions against
him, argued warmly in behalf of the probability of
his innocence The number of these persons is, /
regret TO say, daily diminishing. So many minute
circumstances corroborating suspicion have turned
upso many facts relative to the accused, both be-
fore and after the murder, have been brought to
light, that the hopes of the Professors satisfactory
acquittal are hourly growing fainter and fainter.
The proceedings of the inquest have thus far been
kept wholly undivulged, notwithstanding the sen

bride doorkeepers, and sending reporters to listen
