FTuD BOsTOW TRAGEDY. FURTDER AND STARTLING DEVELOPEMENTS. All Doubts of the Identity of the Body of Dr, Parkman Removed. BURIAL OF THE REMAINS, Blo, Gir, Me m the Bostom Transoript, Dec. Owing to information obtained, it is said, by ome person employed at the jail overhearing 4 con- Versation between Professor Webster and his coun- eel, officers Clapp and Hopkins were dispatched, last evening, to € @ general examination of the house of the proteesor, at Cambridge. : Mrs. Webster received them politely, and inter dno objection to the search. On opening Pro- fessor W.’s private desk, they discovered, beneath a quantity of other papers, the identical note, for ear, which Prof. Webster has stated he took up on the Friday that Dr Parkman was last seen to enter the Medical College. So far as the finding ‘of this note is concerned, it only corroborates what Prof, Webster has stated, in regard to taking it up. But a further search produced evidence of a more description. ay grey note payable to Dr. Parkman, for $2,400, dated in 1847, and becoming due in 1851. ‘he note was secured by mortgage. We could not learn the month or day of the month the note was dated, but the tact that a note for the above sum, running five years ead payable in 1851, was yesterday discovered among Prof. Webster’s pape!s, iy true und beyond question. The back of this last named note contained numerous endorse- ments, but to what wmount, or whether sufficient to cever the face of it, we have not been able to feurn. Another statement 1s, that the note was iully liquidated by the endorsements on the back, and that the note for $187 was the only demand which Dr. Parkman held agaist the accused on rhe day he mysteriously sipepooared Dorivg Jaet week several « hecks, drawn by Dr. Webster, on the Cambridge Bank, were presented at the counter of that institution for payment, but the teller’s invariwble answer was: ** Mr. Webster has no money here, nor has be had for some ume.” ‘We were shown « check yesterday, drawn in favor of Mr. Cummings, blacksmith in Cambridge street, for $9 15, that was refused some ten days tince. {From the Boston Herald, Dec, 6.) ‘A chemioul analysis bes been made of the contents of the veins and arteries which were disswoted out ef the thighs and leg, on Mouday afternoon, for examina- tion, aud neitber arsenic soid. vor chloride of zine bave been found mixed with them, The sbseuce of these two chemicais conclusively proves, therefore, that tbe body from which the veins and arteries were taken was vot ope which bad been brought to the College as & subject fur cisrection.

Very Late from the British West Indies, By the arrival of the steamship Crescent City we have received a file of the Morning Journal, pub- lished at Kingston, Jamaica, from the 19th Novem- ber to the 1st December, but we find themextreme. ly barren of news of importance. Kinaston, Jamaica, Dec. 1, 1549. Reciprocity and Annexation in Jamaica—Dvecline of Prosperity, §c. The decline of British West Indian prosperity has been so great, and the present condition of those islands is so impoverished, that in the opinion of a great and influential portion of the ia- habitante of this island, there 1s no remedy for our distress but annexation to the great American re- public. This is conceded, and although we are all certain that the consummation of such a mea- sure would be in the highest degree beneficial, it is deemed certain that it would be opposed by a great many, and by the colored population to a man. The movement, however, has been begun, not by a flat-footed declaration that annexation 1s intended, but by commencing an agitation, having ostensibly for its object a treaty of reciprocity with the United States, such as nas been talked of in Canada. By beginning in this way itis thought the public mind will be gradually brought to con- template annexation, and by making it familiar with the subject, will in the end become recon- ciled to it, and embrace it as the oaly means of retrieving this beautiful island from the ruin which it 1s now in. The great difficulty in the way is to unite the white pope atiote and that secure, it is thought the way to bring about anaex- ation would be easy. We expect, of course, deci- ded opposition from the colored race. They will oppose annexation because it would be a death- blow to their social or political ascendency, a thing which they aim at; but we expect to be uble to nullify all opposiuon from tbat quarter, if the whites can be brought to unanimity in the matter. Time will teil what view England will take of this movement, whea it shall have been fully developed i ali its proportions. It is feared, that although she has brought ruin upon us, and al- though she is too dishonest to support us, he will et compel an allegiance which she cannot retain by national benevolence. But it is too soon te speculate. ]’ll write again, and keep you regular- ly unformed of this annexation movement. The Jamaica Council have ‘ ordered, nemine contradicente, that his Excelleucy the Governor be requested to direct her Majesty’s Attorney General to prosecute the editor of the Colomal Standard tor groves contempt of the dignity of the Council in general, and ef the Honorable Alexan- dre Bravo in particular.” js The Kingston journals are discussing the pro- 1ety of forming a reciprocity treaty with the United States, similar to that which Canada a posed. ‘The Colonial Standard ot the 30th No- vember, says on this subject:—* Why, thea, not uke an efiort for Jamaica in the same direcuon? lcis notyettoo late, advanced as the session is. Let an agent, competent to the duty, be appointed to visit Washington to negotiate such a treaty as that in Which Canada is engaged. The expense would not be great, and whatever it might be, it would be titling 1m comparison to the importance of the object to be gained.” : The Barbados papers mention that although No- vember had been perfectly dry, scarcely a shower of rain having fallen, there was no great fear that the agricultural condition ot the island would there- by be materially affected. It was hoped the month would not end as it had commenced. * Scorching sunshine, with no rain in the West Indies, is (the Mercury observes) a serious subject for considera- tion, aud we pray earnestly, and with sincerity, that the seasonable showers of this season may de- cend upon, and mature the products of our fertile soil. For unless the present month should prove favorable, whatever might have been our brilliant prospects of an early and a large sugar crop, these will be considerable damped and frustrated unless, within a tew days, a change of weather should oc- cur; and, instead of Warm suns, these are succeed- ed by genial showers.” ‘Lhe canes are represented green, vigorous, and arrowing, giving promise, being favored with good weather, of a large return, The provision crops Were maturing and being reaped, such as corn and potatoes ; plenty of early yams, grain, &e.—_| The Guinea corn crop had profited nothug by the late dry days. Local aflairs were exceedingly dull, and there was litte doing in the Assembly. ‘The immediate- ly Retrenchment Bill had been abandoned, and & prospective one introduced, which it was thought would pass. A large and respectable meetung had been held to petition Parliament in favor of the en- forcement of treaties with foreign countries for the suppression of the rlave-trade. ‘The Bishop preai- ded atit.

Aiter a whole day’s debate, the British connexion par- ty sucoveded in passing @ resolution affirming the loy- alty of the League. aed repudiating all sympathy with the annexatiouists. But the republican section of the letguers had their triumphs also. A resolution was pasced almost unanimously, which is regarded as @ vir- tual declaration of independence. In view of tho al- tered commercial policy of Great Britain, they resolved that “it is obviously uojust to perpetuate the imperial power to interfere with the proceedings of the colonial government, adopted to foster and advance our soolal aud industrial welfare.” The interference of Downing btrect in our local affairs has been the standing com- plaint of the liberals for at least twenty years previous to the full concession of reponsible government. This complaint was always pointed at by the tories, as a proof of the disloyalty and republicanism of the libe- rals, When imperial interference was under the eon trol, and ready to be put forth at the instance of the tories, they delighted in it, and were to denounce us rebels and traitors all who cried out against the “baneful domination of the mother country.” In fact, this very expreseion, which was used by Joseph Hume, M. P.. io @ private letter to MoKenzie, in 1436, au leaked out by rome means, was caught up by the go- vernment and their tory supporters of that day, and appliod as @ rebellious stigma te the whole body of re- formers in the two Canadas Even Hume, though an influential member of the British House of Commons, not escape their denunciations as a rebel, for baviog used such lan, No explanation would be heard. ‘The fact that it was used hypothetically, aad in refe- icipated refusal or neglect to correct difference; the man who used it was « reformers cf the country, to one of ers it was addressed, were ail rebels, The became stereotyped in every township of the province, and bad an important infaence, from the skilful way in which it was handled by the tories, in ; frustrating the rebellion. But now, the tables are turned. The mother country has given up, to the full- eet oxtent, the control of our local affairs; we may le- plate pretty much as we like, have yet to earn that, under our present system, uanccessary interference will be avtempted with our local measur but it seems the tories have got new light on tho jest of “domination,” and can no longer endure the ex- even the abstract right. It is “obviously un- ay the loyal leaguers, “to perpetuate this ‘© interfere.” Two amendments were moved, supported by some. on the ground that the resolu- ticm was republican. But they were both lost, and the resolation was carried by a large majerity. Aiter propeunding such ® doctrine, the leaguers stultify themselves by opposing the proposition tu elect our own goversor; for, it this fauctionary is to be appointed by the imperial power, it would sadly puzzle these wirescres to name the other power, @ right ro- tained by the homo government, which ean be given up #0 Jong as we remain acolony. The truth is, their re- solutions aad proceedings are ® Jumble of covtradic- tions and absurdities, from beginning to ead One half of the convention were in favor of annexation, but hesitated to avow it openly, When the vote condemnatory of this bold proposal had to be taken, (an amendment intended to shy the question, having Ween lost,) many of the annexationist leaguers walked out,and the rest satstill, No division took place.
