 On Thursday, Mir. Webster. from the GOmuOn- wealth, closed his argument. Judge Putnam then charged the Jury, occupying more than two hours, when at aquarter past the cause was given to the jury.

 The Boston Courier of Saturday says :--At eleven o'clock yesterday morning the jury into Court stating that they could not agree verdict, some difficulty having arisen in the minds of some of the jurors respecting the presence of Knapp in Brown street at the time of the murder, agreeahy to pre- vious arrangement, performing his part in aiding aud abe,ting, he would be implicated and be liable under the indictment much # he had been in the cham | Der of Captain White. If he were there only from curiosity for the purpose of receiving information | when the deed were done, he was not present.

 The jury then rered and were absent 'til 3o'cock, when they returned and the foreman stated that there was probability of their coming to agreement.- The jury were then discharged.

 The Grand Jury immediately presented several oth. CT bills which understood were against the same individuals for minor crimes.

Having raised himself from oI'scury by the force of his genius-hs eloquent voice aud energetic mind have ever been devoted to the of human freetl0m-and his public services pre- emnently entitle him to the confidence and affection of the people-and concur in the sentiment of Mir.
