BY TELEGRAPH. Boston, August 29, 1860. There is not much excitement here relative to the execution of Professor Webster, nor is there any sym- pathy except for his family. It is not expected that he will commit suicide. Dr. Putoam reports him calm and firm, and that he bas selemply promised not te commit suicide, but to meet his fate penitently, His family entered his cell at 2 P. M., for the last time. They remained with bim for several hours. At about 6 P. M,, the two persons who are to remain with him during the night, entered his cell. As he will now be under the eye of the authorities until the moment of his execution, it is not probable that he will hav opportunity to commit suicide, if he desired. About two or three hundred persons will be admitted to the jall yard, including several reporters. It is generally thought that « further contession has been made, and will be published after his death, though this is not certain. He is stated to have exprossed a wish to be buried at Mount Auburn, After the executio: body is te be returned tothe ell to remain until dark and then will be conveyed to Cambridge, where his funeral will take place on Saturday.
