Many persons openly denounce Wen
dell Phillips and Theodore Parker as the
direct instigators Of the murder Of Bach
elder.
Indications Of an organized attempt TO
lynch them are so strong as to induce the
Mayor to detail police force for the
protection Of their persons and property.
No o,ub.e TX to-day.
The Court House Square was cleared
has, night. A detachment of 100 U. s..
troops is quartered in the Court House.
Two companies OF Boston militia are
stationed at the City Hall.
The following handful has bsen circu--
lated to-day in contradiction Of the re-
por, tina, Col. Suite had sold Burns:
1.-THE man is not to be bought; he is
still in slave pen Court House. The
kidnapper agreed to sell him for $1,000:
That sum was raised by eminent Boston
citizens, and offered to him, but he claim
ed more, and the bargain was broken
of. The kidnapper breaks his agree
ment, although the United States Com.

The examination. is likely to last for
several days, as a large number of Wit
nesses are to be examined. Soldiers
still occupy all the passages leading 10
the Court House, and no one is allowed
to enter without a permit. II is stated
that the claimant OF the slave had made
several attempts to charter vesse. to
carry off the slave. In case he is re-
leased, there are rnmors that the Gov
ernor will Withdraw the militia, but it is
barely probable that he will do so, as the
rioters would then doubtless anemp, a
rescue.
A petition for the repeal Of the slave
law has been largely signed to-day, IN
GLIDING the names OF some of our frs.
merchants. Strangers continue TO pour
into the city by most every train. Ellis,
III his defence to-day, remarked upon the
inconsistency u the warrant, saying tina.
