UNITED STATES. Ve jeara by the United States papers that the trial of L'rofessor Webster for the murder of Doctor Parkman

has resulted inthe conviction ofthe defendant. The:

evidence against Professor Webster is stated to have been clear and conclusive. He has been sentenced to to be hanged. Great excitement was felt in Boston at the issue of the trial, but the verdict of the Jury is uni- versally heid to be a just and righteous one.

Sincgurar Srarement Revative To tue Muraper or Dr. Parxman.—The rumour that Dr. Webster was discovered over the dead body of Dr. Parkman proved true. ‘The student was returning to the lecture room for his over-shoes, and found the door locked. He then went down through the basement into the lower labora- tory, aad passed up stairs to enter the Jecture room by Dr. Webster’s. private door. As he got into the upper laboratory, he saw Dr.Webster standiag over the corpse of Parkman. Either by entreaty or threats, the student was induced to take a solemn oath. not to.divulge what he had seen, and the next day he left for home down east. A short time since he wastaken with brain fever, and in hia delirium, raved about the mysterious merder. He called fora clergyman, and ked him ifhe was bound to keep such an oath as he“described. The re- sult was that he divulged all to thé minister, who came to Boston and informed the goverignent, but it was too late to use the evidence.

The space we have this day given ® the insertion of matters of intelligence precludes our fiving publicity to. some remarks in reply to the editorial in the last Islander, wherein it is attempted to beshewn that the Government of the Colony can be a in spite oi the House of Assembly, and that Mis Excellency can violate the laws of the land by applying cer- tain portions of the public money to@the payment of the expenses of his administration, It will be a very easy task—-which we purpose to, accomplish in Satur- day’s paper—to prove that eitaer Dunca% Maciean is a very great fool, or that he believes the paople of Prince Edward Island can be gulled by his absfrd musrepre - sentations of fact upon this subject.

Meetinc or THE LeGIsLaTuRe.—A fyoclomation appeared in last night’s Gazette, calling theqLegisiature to meet for the despatch of business on the Shth instant.

The Editor of the Gazelée—whoever that Worthy indi- vidual may be—asks, in last evening’s Nog will the House of Assembly persist in refusing a Revue B: ii ? We may answer, we think they will not, if théy ieuten- ant Governor accede to their wishes on Rekgpnsibie if he don’t, it will be their duty mgt only o. refuse a revenue, but to do something more, of which

something” His Excellency will\no doubt be adver- tized in due course of time. It is pot likely that the majority of the Assembly are dispos@d to play the game

of “fast and loose,” and resolve to @o onthe 25th of

April. what they had determined not ie do on the 25th of March, unless better reasons tothe contrary are given than those which have been urged x Jast night’s Gazette.
