INTERVIEW OF ARTHUR Spp,xc ,r
ooS'-Afthur Spring, the murderer, who is to
be executed in Philadelphia, on FRIDAY nsrt
is beginning TO relent, and on Monday had an
affecting interview with his son, who ., ,ho
instance of the authorities, had been hro,.h,
on from Washington, under a belief Tho,
other and last interview might induce the 49,.
demned man to confess. The North Amer;c.,
says:
The meeting between them was mos, sf.
fecting. complete reconciliation took place
The guilty father clasped the son to his breas,
cried over him btterly-called him his dear
darling toy-teId him that he torgave him, and
asked his forgiv while the boy wept up ON
his parents neck. He begged young Arthur
not to leave him, but to stay till the execution
was over, and see his remains inferred. He
also cut off lock OF his hair, which he en-.
trusted to Arthur to take to his orphaned j
daughters.
Young Arthur piteously and teuchinglv ap.
pealed to his father to excalpate him, and, al
though the culprit did not yield to the boys
entreaties, still he refrained from criminating
his son. The elder Spring was greatly sub.
dued after the meeting was over.
Hopes are at last entertained that the mur.
derer may yet make clean breast of his
crimes, and relieve the reputation oil his son
from all faint of suspicion.
liz will be perceived by paragraph under
our latest news head, that Spring subsequent
ly exonerated his son from all guilt in the
murder of Mrs. Lynch and Mrs. Shawl

cence. He nov expresses a willinsness TO
forgive his son. He has increased in flesh
since. his imprisonment and his appetite is good.
The heavy chain which is fastened around his
ankle, and attached to the floor, seems TO be
very repugnant to his feelings, as he makes
great efforts to conceal it from those who visit
him.
The condition of Capie and Emmos is the
reverse of that of Spring. Terror and anxiety
have made fearful ravages upon their frames.
Broken in health and depressed in spirits. their
lot is truly pliable. The prisoners are both
young, and great efforts ore making to obtain
pardon for them.-Phitadelphia Inquirer,6 6.
REMARKABLE SUCCESS In WHALISG.-The

barrels of oil. In the capture OF these twenty

not one lost. The only loss of craft or tow.
lines sustained was upon the whale which was

eleven births on board during the passage.
