Eleventh Day—NiAnon 30.
Attorney General Clifford, this mor
ning simined up at length, the testimony
given on the trial, and having concluded
his remarks, which were listened to with
no less attention than those made by the
defence. Chief Justice Shaw, with much
emotion, stated to the prisoner that it was
.privilege now to address the jury, if
he had anything to.say, or any explana
tion to make.
• Professor Webster rose, and in a very
distinct voice, made the following remarks.
• ' I have desired to enter into an explana-
tion ofthe complicated network of circum
itinceO which, by my pecnliar position,
the government has thrown around me,
and which, in nine cases out of ten, aro
completely distorted, and probably nine
tenths of which could be satisfactorily ex
plained. All the points of the testimony
have been placed in the hands of my
' counsel, by whom -my innocence could
have been firmly established, Acting en.
lirely under their direction, I have sealed
•my lips during the period of my confine
meat, trusting myself entirely to them.—
They have not deemed it necessary, in
their superior wisdom, (this was said in an
ironical tone) to bring forward the evi
dence which was to exonerate me from
a'variety of these acts. The government
haid brought whatever consummate inge-
nuity could suggest against me, and I
hope it will not have an undue influence
upon my jury. I will not• allude to many
of the charges, but there is one which 1
touches me ' and that is the letter which'
has teen produced. It is not the first I
- .had read in the daily .prints which have
b4.n distributed in my appartments,•and
various publications which have .been
made respecting them. Ono statement
' was' that I Lad, after the disappearance of
Doctor Parkman, purchased a quantity of
Oxalic acid to remove the stains of blood,
and it instantly occurred tb ino that this
ptircel might be saved and produced when
necessary. For several days Mrs. Ntreb' 7

order to produce the changes from dark

My counsel have pressed me to keep calm.
My very ellniness has been made to bear

to inoney,.l must say a word. The mon

trunk in-my house in Cambridge; but uri
antunately, no one ever saw .me take it
out--therefore, I•can only give my word
that such is.the fact. Several years ago,
I had Students who were in the habit of
being in my laboratory, and who injured
my apparatus ; therefore, I prepared every
thing for my own use in my lectures with
my own hands, and that is the reason
why I excluded persons from my Inborn-
tory.
As regards my whereabouts from the
hour of Dr. Parkman's disappearance, I
have put into my counsel's hands satisfac
tory information, which will account for
every day I spent during that week—for
every day and every hour. I never was
absent from home. As to being seen by

my counsel was, that on the Friday on
which the alleged murder was said to
have been committed, I had purchased
Humboldt's hew work' "Cosmos," and
while waiting for an omnibus, stepped into
Brigham's to take a mutton chop, and, in
coming out to take tho omnibus, had for
gotten my book ; but after-my arrest re
membered the place where I had left it, and
mentioned it to my counsel. They had
sent to Brigham's, and the book had been
found."
The Professor here Sat' down, but al
most instantly arose and stil4 "I will
say ono word more. I have felt very
much distressed by the production of
those anonymous letters, more so than by
anything that had occured during the tr►-
al. I call my God to witness, that, if it
was the last hour of my life, I never
wrote those letters. Since the trial corn-

this very 'Civis' by one of my counsel.—
If this person has any spark of humanity
I call upon him to come forward. A no

Dr. Webster again took his seat, hav-j
ing evidently made a deep impression
upon all present, by the seriousness of his'
remarks, and the earnestness of his man
ner.
THE SENTENCE.
Bosrox, April 1
The court room this morning was dense
ly crowded, to hear the awful sentence of
death passed upon Professor Webster.—
Shortly after 9 o'clock the prisoner was,
brought into court, when Attorney Gen
eral Clifford moved that the Court should
pass the final sentence of the law upon
the prisoner.
Professor Webster looked gloomy, but
calm and collected. When asked by the
clerk, whst he had to say why sentence
of death should not be pronounced against.
him, he bowed his hand in silence,_and
took his seat.
Chief Justice Shiiw then addressed .liirn
in the following words
JonN W. Wenerea.—ln meeting' you
hero for the last time, to pronounce that
,sentence which the law has affixed to 'the
high and aggravated offence of which you
stand convicted, it is impossible, by Inn
, gunge, to give utterance to the deep con.
'sciousness of responsibility, to the keen
sense of sadness and sympathy with which
we approach this solemn duty. Circum
stances, which all who are hero may duly
appreciate, but which it may seem hardly
fit to allude to in more detail, render the
performance of his duty on the present oc
casion, unspeakably painful.
At all times, and under all circumstan
ces, a feeling of indescribable solemnity at
' Inches to the utterance of that stern voice
retributive, which consigns a fellow being
to an untimely and ignominious death ;
but when we consider all the circumstan
cesbf your past life—your various relations
in society-the claims upon you by others
—the hopes and expectations you have
cherished, with your present condition,
and the ignominious death which awaits
you, we are 'oppresSed with grief and an
guish. Nothing but a sense of imperative
duty, imposed on us by the law, whose of
ficers and ministers we are, could sustain
us in pronouncing snch a judgment. A

you stand' Convicted-' , --a crime at which
humanity shudders—a crime every Where,
and under all forms of society, regarded
with abhorrence;--tho law has denounced

'of all rights, may be more effectually
cured.
; By the record before us, it-appears that
'you have been indicted by the Grand Jury
of this county, for the crime of murder;
last,ing the t• on the 23d day' of November
you mnde.an assault on the person of
Dr. /George Perkinan, and by acts of
olence,.you deprived him of life with mat
ice aforethought. • This,ip alleged to have
been, done within the apariments.of a pub-,
tic institution, 'in this city, the Medical
College, of which you were a Professor
land instructor, upon the person of a man
ofinature age, Well ,known and of exten..
sive connections in this community, and a
benefactor of that institution:
The charge ofan offence so aggravated,
in the midst of a peaceful community,
created an instantaneous outburst of sur
prise, alarm, and terror ; and was follow
ed by universal end intense anxiety to
learn, by the reeults'ef a judicial 'procee
ding, whether this cha pee was true. The
day of trial came. A Court was-organ
ized to conduct it. A jury, almost of your
own choosing, was selected in the manner
best calculated to insure intelligence and
impartiality. Counsel were appointed to
assist y i p in conducting your defence,
who have done nil that learning, elotitienee
and skill could accomplish, in presenting
your defence in its best aspects. A very
large number of witnesses were carefully
examined; and, after a laborious trial of
unprecedented length, conducted as we
hope, with patience and fidelity, that jury
have pronounced you guilty.
To this verdict, upon a careful revision
• of the whole proceedings, 1 am constrain
ed to say, in behalf of the Court, that they
can perecive - no just or legal grounds of
exception. Guilty ! How much, under
all these thrilling circumstances, which
cluster around the case and throng our
memories in the retrospect, does this sin
gle word import! .The wilful, violent and
malicious distruction•of the life of n fellow
man, in the pence of God and under the
protection of thelaw—ves, of one in the
the midst of life,with bright hopes, warm
affections, mutual attachments, strong.
extensive, and numerous—making lifb a
blessing to himself and others. •
We allude thus to the injury you have
inflicted, not for the purpose of awakening
one unnecessary pang in a heart already
lacerated, but to remind you of the irre
parable wrong done to the victim of your
cruelty, in sheer justice to him whose
voice is now hushed in death, and whose
wrong can only be vindicated by the liv
ing action of the law.
If, therefore, you may at any moment
think your case a hard one, and your pun
ishment too severe—if one repining
thought arises in your mind, or murmur
ing word seeks utterance from your lips,
think, oh think, of him instantly deprived
oflife by your guilty hand. Then, if not
lost to all sense of retributive justice—if
you have any compunctions arising from
your conscience—you may be ready to
exclaim in the bitter anguish of truth, "1'
have sinned against Heaven and my own
soul. My punishment is just. God be
merciful to me a sinner !"
God grant that your example may af
ford a solemn warning to all, especially
the young. May it impress deeply upon
every mind the salutary lesson it is inten•
ded to leach—to guard against the indul
gence of unhallowed and vindictive pas
sion—to resist temptation to every selfish,
sordid and wicked purpose—to listen to
the warnings of conscience, and yield to
the. claims of duty ; and whilst they in
stinctively shrink with abhorence from
the first thought ofassailing the lila of
nether, may they' learn to reverence tl
laws 'of God and society, designed to se
edo the protection of their own.
We fOrbear, from obvious consideartions
from adding such words of advice as may
be sometimes thought appropriate on oc
casions like the present. It lies only with
in our province, on occasions like this, to
address the illiterate, the degraded, the
outcast, whose early lile has been cast
among the vicious—the neglected, the a
! bandoned, who have been blest with no
means of moral and religious culture ;
who have never received the benefit of
cultivated society, nor enjoyed the sweet
and ennobling influences of home. To
such an one, a word of advice, upon an
occasion so impressive, may be a ;word
fitly spoken, and tend to good; but in a
case like this where these circumstances
are all reversed, no word of ours could bo
More eflic ncious than the suggestions of
your own better thoughts to which we '1
commend you.
But as we are assigned, this last sad
duty of pronouncing sentence, which is
indeed the voice of the law and not our
own, yet in giving utterance, we cannot do
it with feelings of indifference, as a formal
and official act. God forbid that we should
bo prevented from indulging and express
ing these irrepressible feelings of interest,
sympathy and compassion, which arise
spontaneously in our heart.
We most sincerely and cordially de
plore the distressing condition into which
crime has brought you ; and though we
,have no word of present consolation or of
earthly hope to offer you, in this hour of
your af fiction. yet we devoutly commend
you to the mercy s of our Heavenly Father;
with whom, in his abundance 'of mercy,
and from VvLoni; we .may all hope for par

THE TRIAL OF WEBSTER.
This paper contains the conclusion of
the evidence in the trial of Professor Web
ster, together with the address of the pris
oner and the sentence of the court.
Our readers are now in possession of
all the facts connected with this inhuman
murder, and they will see that the result
is a conviction entirely upon circumstan
tial evidence, though of such a clear and
unmistakable character as to, force con
viction upon the m'nds of any jury. There
are others, however, who think differently,
and who frankly express the opinion that
there was not sufficient evidence to war
rant a verdict of guilty. Whilst there are
still others who seem to think that Webster
has been the victim of a deep laid, damns
hie conspiracy, and that be is a perfectly
innocent man. Time may remove the
veil.
TILE APPOUTIONIat BILL VETOED.
Governor Johnston, on Wednesday last,
sent to the House of Representatives a
message vetoing the Apportionment bill.
We have not seen a copy of it, but under
stand it is quite lengthey, and particularly
severe upon the Democratic majority of
the Legislature. Whilst we disliked the
bill because of the unwieldy representa
tive district which it gave us—Clearfield,!
McKean and Elk—yet we are free to de
dare it as our opinion, that, viewed with
regard to its political bearing—and in
which character it was most probably
viewed by the Governor—its fairness and
liberality is not.to be complained of, and
that it is quite ns much so as any other
that is likely to pass the, present session.i

'Great Fall of Blood null Flesh.
Eztraordinary Phenomenon in Samp
son (minty, N C.—Wo received on Wed.
nesday last the following communications
from Mr: Clarkson, through Mr. Holland,
of Clinton, and take great pleasure in lay
ing the astonishing particulars before our
readers.
On the 151 b Feb., 1650, there fell with
in 100 yards of the residence of Thomas
M. Clarkson, in Sampson county, a show
er of Flesh and Blood, about 30 leet wide,
and as far as it was traced, about 250 or
300 yards long. The pieces appeared to
be flesh, liver, lights, brains and blood.—
Some of the blood ran on the leaves, ap
parently very fresh. Three of his (I'. M.
C's) children were in it, and ran to their
mother exclaiming, "Mother there is meat
falling!" Their mother went immediate
ly to see, but the shower was over; but
there lay the flesh, &c.
Neill Campbell, esq., living close by,
was on the spot shortly after it fell, and he
pronounced it as above. One of his chil
dren was about 150 yards from the show
er, and came running to the rest saying
he smelled something like blood. During
the time it was falling there was a cloud
over head—having a red appearance like
a wind cloud. There was no rain.
The above you may rely on, and by
Mr. Holland you have pieces of the flesh,
which are reduced. by being kept so long.
Yours, 4-c. 'l'. M. C.
The piece which AV us left with us, has
been examined with two of the best micro
scopes in the place, and the existence of
blood well established; but nothing was
shown giving any indication of the charac
ter of the matter.
It has the smell, both in its dry state
and when macerated in water, of putrid
flesh; and there can scarcely bo a doubt
that it is such.
It is astonishing, and we may say pro
; yoking also, that an occurronce of the kind
should happen within 13 miles of a Nil-
Inge (13 miles southwest 'of Clinton) of in
telligent persons, and no - one felt interest
enough in it to go and get information'a
hout it. It is three weeks after it occur
red before any account of it is sent to the
press. An occarence that is calculated
to strike men•with' awe ;'and we are told
that some persons listened to the relation
of it, and looked upon it as an . idle tale,
deeming it 'impossible that such a thing
could have occurred
The cloud from which it fell is said to
have been of a red appearance, which is
ascribed to the clouds in former cases of
this kind.

not the first time such an occurrcnco has;
