MAGHXETfJENT Brooklyn Hails 0agie. The Bowton Murder. The Boston Atlas gives a full narrative of the circumstances attendintr Professor Wuhaju 'e or. Conanress, As we supposed would be the case, the bouse of REAItltlEI), In this city, on the 1st instant, by tho Rev. E.

M. Johnson, James Fakrkll to MisB Catharine Dennis. Professor Webster. This personage, presum ed to bo the murderer of Dr. Parkman, lcctuied before the BrooklynInstitufo, in this city last winter.

He was fond of luxury and Iris habits were expensive beyond his means'; he was greatly embarrassed in his circumstances. 'Aside this there was nothing against him. The Tribune describes him thus Dr. Webster has been Professor of Chemistry in Harvard University since the decease of the late Dr. Gorham, a period of over twenty five years.

In this capacity he is a member of the Faculty of Medicinejn the Harvard Medical School, which has its location in Boston. He is probably not far from 55 years of age, although his maimers and appearance are those of a much younger man. His reputation in his profession is respectable but not brilliant. He is a man of varied accomplishments and of elegant tastes. As a member of society hi Boston and Cambridge, he has always enjoyed an unusual popularity.

His musical talents are of a high order, and he has done much to elevate the standard of musical taste in Boston. His house had been distinguished as the seat of generous hospitality, where, surrounded by a singularly lovely family, he has appeared to enjoy the highest delight in the courteous entertainment of a numerous circle of friends. With a mild, kind and unassuming disposition, with eminently social feelings and man ners of uncommon affability, he probably had not an enemy. His cheracter was far from any stain he was the last man in the world who would be thought capable of committing a crimo. In journeying toward the seat of government, Mr.

Clay sojourned a day or two at Baltimore. On Friday he met his friends at the City Hotel, and addressed them. The conclusion of his remarks was as follows There is one point, however, on which I feel a liberty to express myself fully allude to the Union of the States. This question is, in my view, paramount to every other. is none of sufficient importance to be considered in connection with it.

Under all circumstances, in any and every event, I shall labor for the perpetuity of our Union. Let the storm come from what quarter it may, I am prepared to meet.it, and stand by our glorious confederacy. Here Mr. Clay arose to his full height, and became exceedingly animated, while his eyes flashed with fire, and communicating his enthusiasm to the entire audience, they were deeply moved, and gave vent to their feelings in deafening applause. Mr.

Clay continued I look upon the dissolution of the Union as productive of every evil that could possibly befal us as a people. Should so awful an event take place, even those who dare to meditate it would reap no possible good, but would share the general ruin. In that sad event, our country would need no historian. The history of Greece and of other ancient republics would be her history. Entangling foreign allian ces and internal commotions of every character would speedily follow.

Some daring military chieftain would arise, and play once more the part of a Philip or an Ali xander. We should be involved in wars, wat wars wars, most bloody, unrelenting and devasting, would be entailed upon us. But I trust in God, gentlemen, that such a time may never arrive and I assure you that my untiring efforts shall be directed against it. Our Wooden Walls. Our old worn out navy system is rapidly giving place to a system of working steamers, which is destined, we trust, soon to convert the naval armament of the country into a source of national wealth, and into schools of virtue and industry.

There are now on the stocks and afloat, twenty four magnificent ocean mail steamers, varying from to 3,000 tons. They are the Washington, Crescent City, Falcon, Hermann, Northerner, Ohio, Franklin, Southerner, Georgia, Atlantic, Cherokee, Oregon, Pacific, California, Panama, Arctic, Tennessee, Isabel, Antartic, Columbus, Republic, Empire City, Galveston, N.

1st, Saturday night 10 P. M. I The caucuses are over and I have heard of the results, all of which corresponded witli my expectations. The whig leaders met in pretty full numbers. Mr.

Toombs of Ga, offered resolutions to the effect that tho whig party should not support any measure restricting slavery in the new territories, or abolishing it in the District of Columbia, or prohib iting the inter state slave trade. Some remarks were made in opposition to these propositions as irrelevant to the matter before the meeting. Mr. Toombs. Mr.

Stevens, of Georgia. Mr. Cabell, of Florida, and five other Southern Whig members withdrew from the meet ing. Mr. Winthrop was then nominated as Speaker with the assent of all present.

No other officers were nominated. The democrats, in caucus, nominated Mr. Howell Cobb, of Ga, for speaker, MrFoiney, of Phila. fcr clerk, Mr. Doanu for sergeat at arms, Mr.

Brown for door keeper, Mr. Johnson, present incumbent, lor postmaster. No one supposes, however, that Mr. Cobb can be elected. There were but about eighty members present, and Mr.

Cobb received the votes of 42 a bare majority. The free soilers also held a 'meeting and nomina ted Mr. Wilmot as their candidate. I learn from the best authority that 13 free soilers will standby this nomination. In view of the preseut aspect of things, I must say it is certain that Mr.

Winthrop is defeated, the administration abandoned and prastrated. After much difficulty, excitement and delay, a compromise must and will be made, by which a portion of the Southern Democrats, some North urn Whigs, and a few of the Free Soilers also will agree to vote for a Northern Democrat of moderate views. A compromise candidate must be taken up, and he will be elected in view of the slavery and tariff question, and of locality. Some have talked of James Thompson, of Pennsylvania, and others of McClernand, of Illinois, as meeting these views. I would not be surprised if the contest should be prolonged for days by the obstinacy of the parties, and, ot course, you cannot in the meantime get the message, nor the Annual Treasury Report, which is to go with it.

The Treasury Report is in the hands of the printers, and will be for warded with the message by express. Vermont Coming right. The Constitution of Vermont provides for the establishment of a Council of Censors, whose duty it is, once in seven years to see whether, in their judgement, the constitution has been violated, and also, if the constitution ro quires any amendments, to recommend the call of a convention of delegates to make them. An elec tion for delegates to a constitutional convention thus called, has just been held, which, in one hundred and forty nine towBS, has resulted in the choice of ninety five democrats and fifty whigs. The Vermont Patriot says this is "a gain'of seventy, compared with the same towns at the last September election and adds, "there can be no doubt that the democrats will have a decided majority in the convention." Is this the way General Taylor is to be rewarded for selecting a cabinet officer from Vermont.

After having alluded to the facts narrated by us yesterday respecting the mortage of $450, and the subsequent discovery of a portion of the body of raricman in the vault under Webster a rooms its rative proceeds thus Dr. Bigelow went to the city marshall's ofiice that afternoon, and informed Mr. Tukey of the discovery which had been made, who immediately with some officers proceeded to the college, and found it was so. Mr. Tukey then gave directions for the arrest of Professor Webster, and officers, Clapp, Starkweather and Spur proceeded to his residence in Cambridge in a carriage for that purpose.

Upon alighting from the carriage a short distance from Professor Webster's residence, tho officers found at the gateway a gentleman opening the gate to leave, and Prof. Webster standing in the door way of his house. The officers and the Professor went into his study, and CoL Clapp informed him that the relatives were desirous that a further and more thorough examination should be made of tho college, and wished to have him present at the time. Prof. Webster put on his boots, coat and hat, and accommpanied the officers out of the house without seeing his wife, and took a seat in the carriage with lliem.

A general conversation took place between the parties, in which the subject of Dr. Parkman's disappearance was but slightly touched upon, and Professor Webster said the family must be much pained. In answer to a question whether he had a receipt for the money, he said he trusted to Dr. Parkman's honor to have the mortgage cancelled. He wished to have the carriage stop at the house of the toll gatherer, who saw Dr.

Parkman pass over the bridge on Friday afternoon, which wish was not granted. The carriage was driven to Leveret st. jail, through East Cambridge, over Craigie's bridge, and arrived there about 7 1 2 o'clock. When Professor Webster got into the office, he asked, "What does this mean What am I here for Col. Clapp replied, that ho was arrested on charge of having murdered Dr.

George Parkman, at the Med. ical College in North Grove street on Friday all the reply which he made was "Why is this What is it for He asked to have his friends, Messrs. Dexter and Prescott, sent for, so that his family could be informed where he was. Tho officers, however, persuaded him that it would be better to have the intelligence communi cated in the morning. He was then committed to jail by constable Clapp, and officer Spurr proceeded to the residence of S.D.

Parker, Esq. the county attorney, and informed him of what had been done, and also notified coroner Pratt of the discovery made at the college. About 10 o'clock Mr. Parker, coroner Pratt, Dr. Martin Gay and Mr.

Kingsley visited the jail office. Prof. Webster was sent for by Mr. Parker, and he returned answer that he was unable to come. He was, however, brought up into the office, and appearing faint Some water was offered him, but he refused to drink.

Mr. Parker addressed Prof. Webster, stating under what circumstances he had been arrest ed, and what had been found, and expressed the hope that he would be able to explain the matter, and prayed to God that he might be able to excul' pate himself. Mr. Parker said that they were going to pursue the examination St the college, and asked him to accompany them, and he did so.

The officers, Professor Webster, and the above named persons, then proceeded to the college building, where they arrived about 10 12 o'clock. The pieces of the body found in the vault in the afternoon, were then brought up into the laboratory, and exposed to view in Prof. Webster's presence. A jaw bone, some artificial teeth, particles of gold and silver, and some buttons, found by tho officers in the laboratory, were shown at the same time. A number of other persons were present.

Prof. Webster 'said nothing and nothing was said to him H0 was then conducted to the room adjoining the lecture room, used solely by him for preparing mixtures to be used in making experiments at his lectures. This room is connected with the laboratory by a staircase. Upon his entrance into this room he said: 'This is where I make Tins is all the remark he made while in the college. The examination hnying boon concluded, he was conducted back to his cell in the jail.

rJ he Police were put in possession of the portion of the college building occupied bv Professor Webster on Friday afternoon, after the discovery had been made, and they were engaged in search iug the premises that evening, Saturday and yesterday. On Saturday afternoon officer Fuller discovered a tea chest stowed away in a nook in the laboratory, under some shelves, which was found to contain a portion of a human body, comprising the back and ribs, and in between the ribs was a left thigh. These were covered over first with tan and over that was a layer of mineral substances. In the chest was also found a large hunting knife. oaiuraay mommg tne officers noticed tracks of wuat tney considered blood from the counter in the lecture room, upon the brick floor of the room adjoining, upon several of the stairs leading from this room to the laboratory, and upon the floor of the laboratory to the water closet, down which it is believed the portions of the human body found were thrown.

About 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon Coroner Pratt, in company with several gentlemen summoned as jurors, visited the college, and several reporters of the press were also admitted. The Coroner proceeded to the laboratory, where upon some pieces of boards the parts of the body which had been discovered were placed, and they formed in appearance, the whole of a human frame, with the exception of the head, left lee and feet. Tim fol lowing gentlemen were then sworn in as a jury of innnnaf tnulro o.l .1:1: u.HJt u.au uniguuL inquiry as to how and by what means the body before them came to its death."

Three towels and roller." haviiif srmt a of blood upon them, which were found in the vault, were exmuueu to me jury. 1 lie jury, alter which made an examination of the laboratory, the ronm and closet in the rear of the lecture room, and the lecture room, being the apartments used exclusively by Prof.

Webster. In the examining room, as Prof. W. termed it, were found some cod fish hooks, arranged with pieces of lead in the chape of grnj pling irons, and a large Turkisli knife, in a silver scabbard, which had been found in a drawer of a small table, The examinations of the premises having been concluded, the jury adioumed to mwt on Weduesday next, at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of hearing evidence. Testerday, the officers, in continuing their search found a pair of black ribbed pantaloons, with the name of Professor Webster written upon the linino a pair of slippers used by him, and a saw belonging to him, upon which there were marks of what is Relieved to be blood.

The bottom of the slippers bore the appearance of having been used in treading down tan. Dr. Jackson, it is1 reported, had tested the spots found upon the stairs, and pronounced the stains to have been caused by blood. The above are all the facts we have been able to obtain in relation to this great mystery. Prof.

Webster, it is stated, has been in his apartments at the College during the past week, and while in there he has bolted the doors on the inside, also that he has had fires in places where he has not been in the habit of having them It ib known that he had been home to his family every evening, uuu uuring tiiu weeK just past, paid a visit to Rev. Dr. Parkman, a brother of Dr. George Parkman, and had a long conversation in relation to his sudden disappearance. On Friday, the morning of the evening on which he was arrested with whom he conversed as freely and cheerfully as he ever did.

The night he was placed in prison he was in quite an excited state of ininrf nnH raved somewhat he however cooled down in the morning. He was seen by Dr. Clark, the City Physician, on Saturday afternoon, whom ho requested to see the faculty in relation to the regular lecture on Tuesday, which he should be unable to deUver in consequence of his arreBt. Testerday he was quite calm, but says nothing. TUESDAY EVEIVIMG, DEC, 4.

National Af fairs; We see that six of the hotspur Southrons with draw from the Taylor convention and refused to sup port Mr. Winthrop because the convention would not take distinct ground in favor of protecting slavery in the territories and in the District of Columbia. This fact, in connection with the course of several of the slave states, shows that the 6lavo holders are in pretty much of a fret and ready for anything which furnishes the least chance of protection to the darling institution. Texas, which, three or four years ago, was beg ing, cap in hand, to he taken into the Union, and guarded from the assaults of Mexico, now threatens, through her valiant governor, to make war on us if we do not give her the whole country this side of the Rio Grande and have it consecrated to the sacred institution of slavery. South Carolina, whose white population is about half that of tho city of New Tork, is also talking, through her governor, of making war on the Union and has seriously set about looking at the condition of her arms, arsenals and forts.

She declares, what turn out to be the fact, that as lone as the TTnimi endures there is to be no peace to the slaveholder bo Bne is ior sacrificing tlie Union for the blessings of slavery. These things are too ridiculous, and their effect will be to give the action of congress a more deci. aea tone than it would otherwise assume. They remind us of the threats of Mexico before the break ing out of the war. when the Mexican minister clared he would march an army to Washington and dictate terms of peace in the heart of the Ameri can Kepublic.

All this bluster is made for the purpose of effect on what is understood at the soutli to be the timid northerners. It has always been thus Whenever the south wish to gaiu 7a point they begin to threaten the Union and yet when the venerable John Quincy Adams actually presented a petition to congress from northern citizens praying for the dissolution of the Union, these same men were ready to tear him to pieces for so sacri ligious an act. But it seems that SIX southern braves have actually had the courage to desert their party anil to forfeit all claims to tho loaves and fishes, in order to secuie the blessings of slavery for the new territories. Six out of two hundred and thirty, which we suppose is rather a larger proportion than would stand by the slaveholders on an issue as absurd as this. We sincerely hope that this question will be met and settled, at once, since our southern friends are determined to have it so.

We did think that the south would have been content to let in California quietly wiih her free constitution but since they are bent on raising the question and meeting it in any and every form, we are satisfied to let it come up and be settled on its merits. Da. Parkman. Tnis person, says the Tribune, was about sixty years of age. He belonged to one of the wealthiest and most distinguished families of his native city.

He had received a thorough medical education in early life, and was much interaited in medical science, but the care of his large eitatea induced him to confine his practice to a limited circle. The establishment of the Hospital for the insane and of the Asylum for the Blind, in the vicinity of Bo3ton, were greatly forwarded by the zeal and energy of Br. Parkman.
