Correspondence of the Republic.

BosToN, Dec. 4, lS49
The only facts of interest developed to-day in re-
gard to the Parkman tragedy are, that the human
remains found at the Medical College have been 50
far identified, that the family of DIR. Parkman are
satisfied they are his. They have been according
ly given up to them for nterment, and the funeral
will take place during the week
1t appears that DIR. Keep, the dentist, on examn-
ing the artificial teeth found in the laboratory OF
Professor Webster's furnace, at once pronounced
them to be the same he had manufactured for the
deceased. This is a terribly strong link in the
chain of circumstantial evidence.
Professor Webster was formally arraigned in our
police court yesterday By advice of his counsel,
Hon. Franklin Dexter, he waived examination,
and remanded to Jail to await the action of the
grand jury, at the January term of the municipal
court to- morrow. While in court, Professor Web
ster appeared calm and selfpossessed. We shall
have the decision of the coroners inquest to-
in regard to the human remains found at the Medical
College. The grounds upon which the family Of
DIR. Parkman have identified these remains, have
not yet been made public. -

LOCAL MATTERS.

THREATENING Mr.. CLAY.--A man was overheard
in the Senate gallery yesterday express his deter
animation to take the life of the distinguished Sena
tor from Kentucky, who was below in the chamber;
whereupon he was promptly arrested by the officers
and taken to the Capitol watch room and an in
vestigation of the matter was had before Justice
Goddard, Captain of the Auxiliary Guard. The
Sergeant at arms of the Senate, Robert Beale esq.,
and one OF the messengers of the Senate testified
TO the hearing of repeated assertions of the arrest
ed man ''to kill Mr.. Clay" and he was thereupon
committed to the county Jail for safe keeping for
the present We learn that his name is James Ro
berson, Of Baltimore, where he is well known as
a harmless, inoffensive person; and that he is evil
IDENTIFY laboring under partial insanity. Robert
son is a low stature, and is apparently about
thirty five years old.
Soar FAcToRY.-A petition, numerously signed
by citizens of the ncighborhood, has been present
cd to the proper authorities, against the location of
proposed soap factory, near the junction Of llth
and c streets and Pennsylvania avenue The
wishes of neighboring residents should be regarded
TO some extent in such matters, there SO
many localities in the city where they can be con-
Quoted without any objection.
THE CENTRE MARKET.-The Mayor has been
authorized by both Boards of the City Council to
furnish them plan and estimate for an extension
of the Centre Market-the increase of business
there of late having rendered the present dimen-
sions entirely inadequate for the accommodation OF
buyers and sellers, and large amount of the traf
fc is carried on in the adjacent streets.
The NIoHTISGALE SEREsADERs.-This popular
band Of vocalists annoince few concerts in this
city, the first Of which will commence this evening
at the Odeon, corner Of A. street and Pennsylvania
avenue. They arc accompanied by that wonderful
Ethiopian Ellsler, Master Floyd, whose burlesquc
cachucas and dances are inimitable
DAGuERREoTYPEs.-We refer to the card, in an
other column, of Mr.. CARvALHo, artist, who has
established himself in our city. He has acquired
much celebrity, and understands the art not only
oftaking Daguerreotype likenesses, but ofdrawing,
painting, &c, thoroughly Mr.. c. is well known
in Baltimore, and has now in that city a superb
and highly attractive gallery Of paintings. We
refer those who may desire his services to his estab
lishment, and are confident they will be suited in
the very best manner.

1t seems to be regretted by all, of every party
here, that mere choice Of men should be the gov
erning principle in the present contest for Speaker
in the House ofRepresentatives. Parties, we hear,
have sworn that they will maintain their present
positions 1t is evident that if present positions
adhered to, there can be no election. What then
We shall present the strange and unenviabe
anomaly of great republic without govern
ment. And this because the interests of party men
preferred before those of the country. Party
is truly the bane of republics.

Commentators.

The examination in quite important case
closed yesterday at p. m, having been in pro-
gress for two days, before Recorder Bacon The
prosecuting attorney, Mr. Stewart, on information,
lodged a complaint against Josiah Priest, for being
engaged in counterfcitng United States coin. On
Friday night he went, with officers Boyt and
McMichaeI, 20 search the premises and found va
rious implements for counterfeiting, and brass
mould for casting American half dollars Of the date
of lSis. The mould is very perfect, and must have
been the work Of an experienced hand. Among
the tools found with the mould were for cutting
of the neck Of the half-dollar after IL taken
from the mould and fine double file for milling
the edge. Several samples Of halfdollars, made in
the mould, exhibited in court, and all, except
in the material, were well calculated 10 deceive.
The informer and principal witness iona
than Wicker suspected of having been long engaged
in business Of this character. He testified that he
cognizant Of Priest having the tools in his pos
session for years, but during his testimony denied
ever having seen the moulds or knowing any thing
Of them. Tic sworc also TO having been watching
Priests house ON Thursday night 10 detect him in
countcrfcitng, while il was proved by others that
he was at another place and used the identical
mould found in Priests house; subsequently he was
at Priests house, where Il is supposed he left the
mould 10 strengthen the suspicious against him.
After very full examination-thc testimony Ia
ken by the Recorder covering some eighteen pages
of foolscap-thc brought to a close. AL
though the testimony and other circumstances were
of that nature to create strong suspicion against
several rather notorious characters, IL not
deemed sufficient 20 warrant more arrests, hold
any upon the complaint. Priest was discharged.
| From the discrepancy in Vicker's testimony and
that of Others with regard 10 his know ledge In the
matter, the court bad him committed, for perjury,
| to take an examination this morning at O'clock.
II is said that Priest had him arrested for coun-
! tcrfeiting ON former occasion.
Wicker recently tried by the United States
circuit court for making counterfeit sixpcnny
pieces and is one Of established character. -" De

vessel and brought with her to this port, for being
engaged in the slave trade, and indicted by the u.

complaint Dismissed for want of sufficient evidence
to sustain it. This, however, does not decide the
question whether the vessel was engaged in the
slave trade, which has yet to be tried.
