"Anscl of death did no Prcsaging sign
Announce thy coming, and ihy way prepare!
No warning voice, no hariiugcr WAS thine
Danger and fear seemed IasJ-bul thou vert

Prophetic sounds along the earthquakes path
Forctell the hour Of Natures awful throos;

Sends forth some herald from lis dread rcposc
But thou, dark Spirit swim and unforeseen,

NEY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CASE OF FRO
fEssoR WEBsTER.-Wc have Just learned OF
some facts which 20 far TO show the utter
falsity of Professor Webs.cr's confession as
TO the disposition of Dir. Parkmans body, and
by which he attempted to show his want OF
premeditation in the killing. A Student AT
tho Medical College has this morning, for
the first time, disclosed that at the time of
the murder, while he was in the disseciing
room entry, he distinctly heard sounds of
something being dragged over the stairs
leading 10 Professor Webster's lower labora-
tory-which he has now no doubt were thus
produced by the descent of Dr. Parkman's s
body. An examination Of the sink i'll the
upper laboratory, described by Professor
Webster as the one he used for the dismem-
berment of the body, demonstrates its posi-
tive incapacty for the purpose, it being Of
very small size. And Furthermore, the hand
hose which Professor Webster speaks of in
his letter of explanation to the Council, as
used by him to convey erto the said sink
was this morning measured by officer O. IL.
Spur, and found TO be couple of feet too
short for that purpose.-Boston Transcript,

The MINUTE Gun At SEA The royal
mail steamship Canada, when about four
hours out from Liverpool met the Niagara,
with the flag of the United States at half
mast at the fore. As the Canada appeared
in sight the Niagara commenced firing min
ute guns. The two vessels then approached
within speaking distance, and the mournlul
intelligence of the Presidents death was
communicated to those on board the Canada.
The news would be in London, probably, on
the evening of the 2Oh, only eleven days
after his decease, and without any previous
waning of his illness.
