His career since has been one disfigured, as his

r*tioxiCa's CALL HEAD MIDNIGHT
Tuvalu:me Nwur, Jane 9th.— After:religious ser
vices, by the Kew. Messrs. Street and Kinstl,Spring
was asked how he felt? He answered :—‘, I ne
ver felt better in my hie. I never murdered any
person, and I expect to die a Christian. I believe
an the Lord Jeans Christ—and that he alone can for
give my sins and wash my soul in hie blood, and
that he alone can save me, and I never did believe
iu.anything else. I also believe tit the resurrection
of the body, end in a judgment to come, and hie
everlasting atter death ; and that every man m e et
give an account of every action of his life, whether
it be good or evil, and in a place of misery for the
wicked."
To a question pot to him (with the open Bible
in his hand)....Do you feel that God for Christ's
sake accepts you and fingives yoU? 'he ansvrered,
'• I trust he dues, and death does not trouble me."
To a question put to him—" Do you, in the fear of
Gqd, before whom you will appear in a few hours,
forgive every , one who has in any way or manner
injured you'?" lie answered—" I do, and i trust be
will forgive me as l forgive them."
His last statement was—Although the boy bro't
home the money, he never told me that he mut.
dered the women, neither do I believe he knew
anything about the murder, fur if he hid he would
have told me Nei;h!r do I believe be had any
band in it. These are to be considered as my dy
ing words
He hail previously gone into a long detail (so
often told) about his son's visit to Mrs Shaw arid
Mrs- Lynch alter midnight and bringing home the
money. He then, in positive terms, declares he
was in bed on the night of the murder; and though
the son brought home the money and "put ii in iris
pocket book, yet he declare) that he believed his
eon had no hand in the murder of the women, and
that he is entirely clear.
" After having gotthrtitigli his statement, he com•
vnericed to irke and laugh, although reminded ut
tits necessity of being solemn. Ile said " I have
got a long journey to take in the inorning, WI I
don't think they will gel me nu turd after dinner,
as I want to lay in a gitc.d stock of provisions."--
And then he went on to relate an anecdote...in rel.t
non to two men swimming a rare That one of
theft took a week'. provision on his back, and
when the other saw this, he gave up the bet,
The prisoner then langhed heartily 'until remind.
ed of his condition 'To the, he rem AI ked that he
could not help it, as he was so glad to get off. In
answer to a remark that every per-on in the clm•
enmity believed him wilily, and that we, his spiritm,
-ail advisers, .believed it also, he said, o you mum
think I am a Greek," and thus he went on until we
left him, about inttlitigh', to t ike hit last sleep pre
vious to awakening in eternity
After the departure of the Rev. Messrs. Street
and .Kensil, the et.aplain of the prison, the Rev Mr
Alexander. took his place, and the . pri-over,
after
'rime conversation w hitn,slept for several hours
He awoke about 4 o'clock, and joined in prayer
with the Rev. Mr. Alexander. The prisoner then
prayed fur the welfare of his son, arid asked Mr.
Alexander to krin him in a prayer for his dear Ar•
thur. The religious services were continued up no
7 creleek, with occasional intermissions, during
which Spring asseverated his innocence, and his
belief that his son was also clear of the guilt of
blood.
The neighborhood of the prison was at an early
hoot in the morning surrounded by a throng of per
sons, who besieged the various entrances to the
building, most of them having circulars from Sher.
HT Allen, authorizing their mini ision as deputies
appointed fur the occasion. The anxiety to obtain
a view at the lest scene in the tragedy was more
universal than on any previous occasion, and had
the Sherdl granted all the spplications made to

firmly and ascended the steps boldly and firmly.—
Hc was clothed in an old black bai l up, black vest
grey pants, and a thaw hat
The Reverend. gentlemen ascended tl,e steps •Si
the gallows, after the prisoner, and was followed
by the Sheriff and Marshal
The Rev. Mr Allen commen"ed the religious
exercises by trading the appropriate services of the
Episcopal Church The efeigy joined in si n gi n g a
hymn. after which the Rev Mr. Street thus ad
dressed the prisoner,
who had remained with his
eyes closed during the seivices;
Arthur Spring, you have been convicted and sap
termed to death for the murder of Honors/Straw and
Ellett Lynch, and the execution of that sentence is
now about to take place We have nid ceased i n
warn you 01 your fate, and to induce you to repent
and make your peace with God I now ask you
in the presence of the Almighty God, before whom
you will shortly stand are you guilty or not guilty
of the murder of !home women
Prisoner—No sir! no sir! • .
Mr. Strew—The Grand Jury have also, by their
presentment charged you with the murder of Mr.
Rink. Are you guilty or not guilty of that crime?
Prisoner--No sir. 1 newer saw the wan in my

tion to ask you Before Gud, is your son, Arthur
Spring, en'irely clear of the murder of Mrs. Shaw
and Mrs. Lytithl
Prisoner—l believe be is. He had no more Ao
do with it than I had .
At this response there was a general groan from
the spectators, which was, however, but momen
tary. ,
Mr. Street then said,." May God have mercy op.
on your soul."
All upon the scaffold then kneeled, and the Rev
Mr. Kermit prayed as follows:
Almighty God, the father of our spirits, the Re
deemer of oor souls, whose eyes are now upon mi.
and is hoknowest the secrets ol all hearts, we would
approach Thy mercy seat on this solemn occasioh,
though the merits and righteousness of out Lord
Jesus Christ, and humbly beseech Thee to look
down upon tins condemned man, who is to pay the
penalty by the forteit of his life. We humoly be

with the secrete of his heart, and as Thou well
knowest who was tne murderer of those for wnose
dra hhe is how to suffer,, if he Loot is uuilry , do
Thou so move upon his heart, liar he may declare
before God, his Maker, whether he is me gu ilty

Thee compasionately to look upon hum i n mercy.

M the conclusion, the prigoner spoke a few words
to Ifr. Street, antt.that izehtlernait wipt about to re.
peat it. when the Sherifi interposed slid toldehe piJs

Hr then said that he went to bed on the nir , ht oi

The. ques , ion wits then ruain asked him, "

Mr Al , .xander here exclaimed, " Let this go

The:executioner then arranzett the knot and drew
the cap over his lace, and the Sheriff having kit
him, the props were removed from beneath the
platform. and at a quarter after II ti'clock the drop
fell and die victim of offended juidice hung betwixt
Heaven and earth, 'tying with scarcely a struggle
After hanging about ,twenty•6ve mint:Pee, the

NEW YORK, Weilueeday June 15, 1853
bIR. EMTOIt: We are truly in the midst of Sum
mer, and old Sol nobly does his drily. Seldom
have I felt the heat more than dining the past week,
am', as every body tells the same story, I have con
cluded it is really hot weather As a necessary,
consequence, our streets, in the lower part of the
city. are less crowded with cases turned out for
shipment; our metchants have time to ask those
they meet how !key are, instead of simply melding ;
and our clerks, from entry clerk to buuk•keeper ate
lounging on unopened bales of goods or saunter in.
to the store of some of their neighbors, for the pur
pose of concocting mischief, retailing idte gossip,
or of criticising the dress or the manners of some
fair . acquaintance.
The hotels are filled with those who are passing
dimmer* our city on their way to the Springs, to
Rockaway, or to Newport; while our own citizens
fall into the current which sets steadily horn the
cit 3, and seek "repose" in the hurrying and ee
citing scenes of fashionable retirement. It is not
my good fortune to find lime to rusticate (even lot
a week at the homestead 01 my revered parents,
although they are less than ten hour• front nie.)
yet were I enabled to do so the haunts of fashion
and frivolity would never have me for a guest.—
Some "cool sequestered spot," where the dadypn
pees odd reach me, btu from which all other tne
mentos of .a city life could sac - redly excluded; and
nought but rusticity and primitive simplicity could
find admission; such a spot would he my choice
above all others. Such a spot, one of these days,
I hope to find as my home, to which with my fami
ly and my brinks I may retire and spend the rem
nant of my days in peace. When that hope will
lie realized it were idle even to guess.
You will hardly expect, during :he hot weather,
to find out much that rs wonderful in this city, for
the office seekers even begin to walk on the shady
ride of the way, and are Inn lazy to press .heir own
't claims how much more reasonable is it, there
fore, to expect little from ordinary ources Poli
tics. since the adoption of the new charter last
week, are totally dead ; and I much doubt if Col
krAtm Et,iniAcin turd Paoma Aar Fowler do not have
very good times now. a-days.
On Monday the city screwed up its courage to
test nn ,;ested in the reception of the Mechanical
Etigtite Company of 54himore, by our file depart
ment, and thousands lust halt a tray to see the sight.
Nearly thirty of our companies turned 001 with
!heir apparatus', each with its band of music, and
die sight, although a familiar one, was exceeding!)
fine. Yesterday, the guests, escorted by -Nu 14,"
their hosts : visited all the public titstituttints, the
High Bridge, the Reservoirs, and oilier places of
interest in and aroun I the city, in omnibuses pro.
voted for the occasion. Friday they visit Brooklyn,
Greenwood Cemetery, &e., and next day wino
hums. They are a tine looking set of men, arid
were.properly enterianied.
Out Finlay last, the " Leander," hearing the Bri
tish contrioutions and the E of Ellesmere, the
ch 'omen of the Royal Commission, came into our
harbor. Two of the commission had anticipated
the Earl; the other two came in the Canada, which
reached Halifax on Monday. The delay in open
in the exhibition proves very detrimental to the in
terests of all concerned; and it is hoped that the
calculations of the Board are based on proper data,
and that further time will not be asked or required.

(1;:r The Intervention of the British, American
anti French squadrons in the Chinese war, which
was announced by the preciilmg arrival, is virtual.
ly contradicted by the Pacific. It is true that the
assertion is repealed, in somewhat different phrase
ology, but, in connection with it, appears the spe
cial fact that the British naval commander had re.
lased to allow British merchantmen to carry pro
visions fur either party, and that the American Cran
odore would intimate the example. As this is in
compellable with the idea' o► having agreed to as.
sisi the Emperor, and as it is asserted for a specific
fact and not a general, vauge declaration, and there
fore is of the two the more creditable, we conclude
that the naval commanders in the Chinese seas
have prudently resolved to let the Emperor and
the rebels fight out the quarrel unassisted. Indeed
it would have been the height of presumption for
the Captain of * mere frigate, or even ►or the Com
mender of a Squadron, to involve his count r y in
hostilities, by tatting sides in the Chinese civil

As advertised. Signor Gavazzi met a numerous

About halt-past 7 - 9eclock, we went to .he dow ol

strong posse ol police, same twenty or thirty men.
.%t this tone and (or about hall an hour atter groups
of wild, IHard looking melt were . Resembled
around the door of the church, and at different points
between the church and 111ThIl-street. Wd mixed
freely among these people, and conversed with
more than one of those a tio are considered the lea
ders of the.frish Catholic party. We were assured
by them that they had only come to the ground to
use 'heir influence to pretreat a disturbance, and
that we might rem eati.fied that the lecture would
pass off quietly We ere ore, however, satisfied
with the aspect of affair's, and -remained on- the
groom!
At 7 3-4 o'dloek a band of ruffian's, we learn.

SCROFULA
Mrs. C—, says Dr. Tyler, of delicate conslitution,
when nineteen years of age, was afflirted with a
cough. and her neck was thickly studded with Scrof
ulous tumors. Under the influence of a free a,e of
a decoction of Rock Rose, she recovered her health,
and has not been afflicted with any such symptoms
since. The above is taken from a work pui.lt4hed
by U. A.Tyler. M. D, of New /keen, et in 1846,
and proves the wonderful efficacy of the plant Rock
Rose. as a cue fur Scrofula.
