SHOCKING DISASTER. About one O'Clock Mon

IN Sprucest.' New York, fell in burying beneath the
runs SIX or seven laborers. One was taken out in
about 10 minutes, badly bruised as to be unable to
stand and to all appearances fatally injured. His
clothes Were nearly all torn off, part of the wall fell
over striking upon the floor Of the upper story the

tall took down all the other floors. Some Of the men
ran IN time to escape. Two others have been taken
out; one was able to walk, but the other is probably
MORALLY injured.

men still under the ruins; it is hardly possible that any

me vacant Districts.

Three seats of the Massachusetts Delegation in Con-
Dress are now vacant just the time when questions are
ana;np the most momentous that acted upon
bv that body II is ofhe highest importance, than that
these vacancies be promptly filled, and by who will
faithfully represent the principles of the constitution,
and the opinions of vast majority of the people Of the
State on those questions 1t is time that all minor con-
siderations should give way this great paramount OBJ
ec and that the palry and frivolous pretences, which
have long prevented the reelection of the able and
faithful representative of the Fourth District should
Weld to the promotion of National Interests, and of the
welfare of the Human Race. Why is it, that men
not elevate themselves above the standard of housing
politicians, seeking only individual or party aggran-
dizement and for once, strike for Justice Freedom,
and Humanity? If such determination should be
made and acted upon, the question would be quickly de-
cded in each ohe vacant districts and Massachusetts
would have three champions of the right stand
by Allen and Manu. in the great contest between Free
dom and Slavery.
The men to be sent to Congress should be such and
such only the people viii feel an abiding and
verng confidence in, that they WILL at all times and on
all occaaons be true as steel to Massachusetts prnci-
PIES aithess friend is far worse than an open and
avOwed enemy. Of what use is the man, who, nine
times in ten, votes right, when it is Of little consequence
how he votes whether lie at all, butt the tenth
time, when question Of the most vital character is to
be decided either votes wrong, lodges out of his
seat and does not vote at all? 1t is time to teach
such lesson, and select true men, only for the
public service.
The tin1p is short To tho dauo ~ ale Va bo,o
it will be improved in the adoption of measures which
shall secure the triumph of the right. We little
by what party name man has been or may now be
Called that have full assurance of his integrity on
the question of Slavery and Freedom. That is the
great question of the age, and must be till it is settled
on the side of Freedom. 1t cannot be prevented and
any compromises that may be patched up will but make
the agitation rage the fercer Let the Friends of Free
dom consult together then and make such selections

PROF. WEBSTER. The Boston Daily Advertiser
contradicts the report that Prof Webster still retains
the professorship in Harvard University He ceased
to be an officer of the University, soon after his con-
yiction. Before his trial, and while it was pending it
would have been unbecomng in the corporation to dis
miss him, as it possible he might be innocent, and
such an act might have had improper influence on
his trial. On suggestion to him shortly after his con-
vction he readily resigned the office, with an express
sion of gratitude to the Corporation for not preudgng
him. The following paragraphs appeared in the Bos-
ton Transcript last week:
student at the Medical College has this morn
ing for the first time disclosed that at the time Of
the MURDER while he was in the dissectlng room en-
try, he distinctly heard sounds of something being
dragged over the stairs leading to Prof. Webster's
lower laboratory-which he has now no doubt
were thus produced by the descent Of Dr. Parkman's
body.
An examination of the sink in the upper laborato-
ry, described by Prof. Webster as the one he used
for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of the body, demonstrates
Its positive ncapaciy for the purpose, it being of ve
ny small size.
And furthermore, the hand hose which the pro-
fessor speaks of in his letter of explanation to the
Council, as used bye him to convey water to said
sink, was this morning measured by officer o. IL
Spnrr and found to be couple of feet too short for
that object!
