The ROStOR MRrder--LateSt DiSclo- Slfe& ..- From the Boston Herald, Dec. 6.

1 A chemical analysis has been made of the contents of the veins and arteries l which were dissected out of the thighs and leg. on Monday afternoon, for ex- animation, and neither arsenic, acid nor chloride of zine have been found mixed with them. The absence of these two chemicals conclusively proves, therefore, that the body from which the veins and arteries were taken was not one which had been brought to, the College as a subject for dissection. 1 A portion of the cinders found in the furnace of the laboratory of Professor Webster have also been rigidly analysed and small quantity of gold and silver have thus far been found and the sm.l quantity of each of the metals found would seem to indicate that they proceed from the melting of tho filling of the partly decayed natural tooth. and the plate of the mineral teeth unidentified as Dr.. Parkman's. .--~ A further and more rigid examination has also been made of the conglomera ted masses of lead and tin, which were also found in the laboratory furnace, and minute particles of silver have been dis covered in the composition of the fused metals, but in such very small quantities that it is supposed that this metal was originally contained in the lead or tin, as it is often found in the natural state.
 The supposed drops of blood, found on the pantaloons, slippers and saw of Dr.. Webster, have not yet been exam ined. We shall give the decision of the Committee upon the matter as soon as it can De obtained.
 The result of the examination of the contents of the arteries and veins pro- wing, as 1t does, that the remains from which they were taken, do not form a part of a subject for dissection, adds a new and important link to the fearful chain of circums' antial evidence which surrounds Prof. Webster.
 We learn that large bunch of skele- ton or newly filed keys have been found in the drawers of a bureau in Prof. Web ster's laboratory, which are said to give the possessor an entrance to every room in the Medical College. These keys were exhibited to Prof, w. and he ex- plains the circumstances of their being in his possession, by saying that he found them m the streets, and threw them in. to the drawer, among the miscellaneous articles which were contained in the said drawers.
 It is said that on Friday evening when the murder was committed, Professor Webster was at a party where several of the Faculty of Harvard College were present, and he played whist with them until very late hour of the night. and on his return home was accompanied by Judge Fay to the gate of his residence This fact, which is we'll authenticated, is not at all compatible with the statement of Mr. Littledeld. that Prof. Webster was at the laboratory the whole of Fri day night.
 | A correspondent informs us that some time after the disappearance of the Doc tor, hat was found on Gray's wharf and on Friday the sOth inst, that hat was at Mir. Collamore's. We learn tha Robert G. Shaw, Esq, said it was Dr Parkman's hat, but wished Mr. Collamor to say nothing about it. We communi cated this fact to the Marshal, and learned that it had previously been made know 10 the Police. and that the docks in tn ! vicinity of Gray's wharf had been drag ged for the body.
 From TAe Boston Ratls0ay Ts,nss Dec. We have refiained from expressing any opinion as to the guilt or innocrncs of Dr. Webster, but while all avenues of actual intelligence of facts, by the Coro ner's decision that the inquest should be , private, is closed, and thousand rumor, are flying about that are prejudiciai t' ! the prisoner, we do not think it out of the way to allude to one or two fact, that have some bearing upon the matter On the day of the alleged murder, Dr Webster lectured to the class, and mem bers of it say there was no percep;ibl change in his manner. neither was lher, any observable change during subsequen lectures. On the evening of the mur der he was in company of his friend from ' to 10, playing whist, and evi dcntly enjoying himself, and with ever appearance of serenity and quiet. Hi friends are confident that with his charac teristie nervousness and excitability O temperament. it would have been an i'm possibility for him to have done so, if h. were guilty of the great crime Laid to hi charge.
 A very singular fact has been ascer tained in regard to the blood spots on tn, floor and passage leading to the closet These spots have been tinged with yer million red placed over them, and the blood spots themselves have the appear. ance of being made from subject some time dead. It will not be believed that Dr. Webster has been amusing hlm>ell
