Wilson k fo.'s Great Christmas and Tears Brother Jonathan. This vast sheet of pictorial illustration j for the coming Holidays has come to hand, and we must say that its merits are not over estimated by the publishers. The large Engravings of " General Taylor and his Cabinet," and the " Pleasures, Follies and Miseries of Christmas in New York," are valuable and spirited pictures, which will do credit to American Fine Arts. We understand that the designing and engrav ing of these two grand features of the pa per cost over one thousand dollars. Alto gether this number of the Pictorial Holiday Brother Jonathan outstrips any of its pre decessors by great odds. The price re mains as usual, 12 cents, or ten copies for one dollar.

LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT. —On the 14th inst., u young man named George Wilber, eon of Mr. Wilber of Duncans vilie, about 16 or 17 years of age, was run over by a train of cars, near the Portage Iron Works, and instantly killed. ACQUITTED.— John H. Bossier, editor of the Fayette County Democrat, has been j acquitted of the crime of which he has been charged before the United States District Couit at Pittsburgh, of robbing the I mail. rae Pardoning Power. Judge Parsons recently took occasion to i give a fling at Governor Johnston for hav ' inr pardoned different persons convicted of ' criminal offence*, and said ** it is difficult . 'to conceive what justifiable motive -could 44 have operated upon the Executive to " have induced him to open the doors of •• the penitentiary and let loose so large a •' per cent, of its worst offenders. In fortunatelv for the Judge, the reasons given ! to the Governor by those who solicit par dons arc put on file, and the records show that in the case of -Michael M'Canna, con victed of rape, the erinH/ud was pardoned on the rcorhioutidalion of JVDCK PARSONS • himself. In the case of John D. Herbert, the fol lowing note to the Governor will also help to clear up the obtuse memory of the Judge: i 44 To His Excellency, Win. F. Johnston, Governor : We, the undersigned, Judges of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, for the county of Philadel ' phia, do hereby recommend to your Excellency the pardon of John L). Herbert, convicted in our : Court of the crime of manslaughter, and sen j tenced to two years imprisonment. We have the honor to be vour fellow citizens, EDWARD KING, A. V. PARSONS, WILLIAM D. KELLEY." Comment on such inconsistency as the Judge has exhibited is unnecessary. The Telegraph, in noticing this matter, ; recapitulation of pardons granted by Por ter, Shunk, and Johnston, from which it appears that Governor Torter pardoned during the last three years of his administration (a part of i which time Judge Parsons was Secretary of State) 491 Average number annually 163 Governor Shunk pardoned 350 Average number annually 100 j Governor Johnston pardoned 11G of which 62 applications were on file at the" time Governor Shunk died, seven being - endorsed fey Jesse Miller as fit subjects for executive clemency. I Average number annually ?7 From these statements, derived from of ; ficial records, the people can see who opened the doors of the penitentiary, and judge of the sincerity of those who are ! endeavoring to make polt'ica! capital out ' of this matter. Bank* and Banking, and the Lwroforo*. Almost every locofoco paper we open contains a column or two of strictures on j what it is pleased to term white banking. ; No does an institution of this kind, j no matter where located or by whom man | aged, get into bad repute, than the com monwealth resounds from one end to the ' j other with the groans of locofoco editors, j every one of whom at orec charges that it ! was a whig concern. Some of the people ! of course are gulled by this chicanery, | but a moment's reflection would convince i any reasonable man that the whigs have had less to do in chartering had banks than the logpfocos. Within ten or twelve years past the former have had the ascend- , ancv in the State Legislature but three sessions, during two of which tle governor was locofoco, hile the latter had work • • /* "X i i ing majorities for seven or eight years I ; —how, then, could the whigs charter banks without the aid of locofoco votes ? i Or, if they succeeded in having a bill pas sed, how could it become a law without the approval of a locofoco govern r ? A little reflection on -uch 1 acts. would con vince any unprejudiced mind that the ; whirrs in this respect arc tn<>re 44 sinned I against than sinning." The last case brought forward t illns trate the peculiar views of locofocos, is the Susquehannah Bank. This shaving shop was chartered by a loeofoco legislature, and has been exclusively under the control of members of that party. T. P. St. John, tlic late Cashier, as well as both the former cashiers, are locofocos. Ansel St. John, the New York broker, who owned the bank, i- also a loeofoco, ami to show how the " democracy" hate banks and bankers, we learn that while T. P. St. John, the cashier was in jail ort a civil process, and preparation had been madr for his arrest on a criminal charge, he was bailed out on Siriiday evening, the 11 tit November, by Messrs. Hartley, Grow, Johnson, Brown and others, and made his escape out of rhe State. The Register says these gentlemen arc all prominent lu~ cofocoH ; and \et there are editors in this State who would make their readers be lieve that this bank was a whig concern \ THK PITILAUDLI'IIIA MUSLI M. —The old and valuable collection of curiosities, pain tings, <tc., the largest in the country, was sold at Sheriff's sale on Monday morning, and purchased by Mr. P.

POLYGAMY A MONO THE DKSEULT M<K >IONS.—A correspondent writing from the city of Salt Rake, states that the laws of the community permit the men to have as many wives as they can support, and thai some of the older ones have twenty, but that 'he \ oui.g men content themselves with five. : ftefictt la thr Tr^mary—One of the Con •ieaeneeo of the Mexican War. It i.s stated that in the amount of revenue . ■ requisite to meet the expenditures of the Government for the fiscal yeais ending the 30th June, and the 30th June, 1851, there will probably be a deficit of • from fifteen to twenty millions of dollars. This will not be owing to any insufficien cy of the estimated revenues of those years to meet the ordinary expenses, hut to the debt incurred in the prosecution of the Mexican war, and in the stipulations of the treaty of peace. Until the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury appears, we cannot furnish the precise details of the deficit here referred to, but to those who remember the condi ! tion of things which existed during the last two years of Mr. Polk's administra ' tion, and who did not repose entire eonli ! dencc at Mr. Walker's estimates, the an nouncement of the deficit itself has caused no surprise. In 1817, the receipts into i the National Treasury were $26,346,790, j and in the same year the expenditures of j the Government were $55,929,093, In 1818 the receipts were $35,436,750; the [ disbursements $42,811,970. The instal mcnts under the Mexican treaty, payable j in May, 1849, and May, 1850, make to gether $7,260,000, and the further sum of $3,250,000 is provided for in the same treaty to be applied to the payment of j claims of the citizens of the United States against Mexico. Taking the excess of . outlay over income in the two years spoken of, and adding to that excess the amounts just mentioned, we have a total of $47,467,523 as a pre-existing deficien j cy with which the present Administration : have had nothing to do. — I A correspondent of the Centre Demo- I z- , i erat says tuat a Coroner s inquest was j held bv Joseph Humgarner Esq., of Eagle ville, Centre county, on the 17 th ult., on the body of a man who was found dead in j O rge Furst's Camp on Beech Creek, ; about 13 miles from the settlement, at the : mouth of the creek. The deceased was 5 feet 7 inches in stature; supposed to be about 30 years of age; black hair, quite heavy ; large whiskers; ound teeth ; had j i on coarse sewed boots ; black broad-cloth pantaloons, lined with muslin ; vest cross barred, red colors; striped cotton shirt, i stripes blue running down the sleeve.

B 1 E D. | In Baltimore, on the loth November, after a long and painful illness, Mrs. LOUISA FORNEY, aged 77 years. The decease of this amiable j lady, after a long life of usefulness and virtue, ' chequered too by a series of severe family dis pi-n aUons—having lived to see deposited in the j grave a husband and all her children, who were struck down in the prime of life by that fell dis- j ease consumption—is an event that will bring j forth the tear of regret to the eves of hundreds j ; who knew and loved her well. They hive lost a friend who was over ready to confer favors— . one whoe-urbanity and kindness shone for'h on • all occasions without pride < r ostentation, and with a sincerity which forced the conviction that it came from the heart. But the poor will suf- : fer more by her death. Year after year, with a generosity that knew no hounds, her bounteous hand gave life and sustenance to numbers who otherwise often might have felt the pangs of ; want. In sickness or health, she was ever the same, ministering to their comfort in a manner that will cause her memory to be cherished for long years to come, and even her late residence ai the corner of Green and Fayette streets looked upon with reverence as the source from whence the "good old lady" dispensed blessings to those less favored in wordly goods than heiself. She now sleeps her last sleep—a sleep into which she sank with the consciousness of having per formed her duty to Him who ruleth on high as , well as to her fellow beings. ■ii ' "i i ■ i ii T T is well observed by Flaw! in his excellent work. ! 4- The Mystery of Providence, that '-there are hard 1 text* in the works, as well as in the wor ! of (Sod." 1 have been railed lo interpret some trying providences, in repealed attacks of ill health, incapacitating me from . ministerial services, and the conclusion I have drawn from them is, that it o> my duty to give up the ministry, j not altogether, hut yet altogether as a vocation of rrJu i rive employ men! and support, and lo enter on n rouisc of ' life affntdirg reason to hope, by the Divine blessing, for some measure of health and usefulness. 1 have therefore returned to reside in a community i w here my manner of life formerly is well known, to pros- ' ecute a i ailing for which 1 think myself qualified by ex perience and by bu.iues. habit- In past years.

RUSSIA AND TFRKEY. —Fuad EfFendi has been into, in ed by Count Nesselmde that the Czar demands that the Hungarian refugees Khali be located in the interior of i Candia, or on such other point of the Turkish territory as may aiTord the great : est facilities for keeping them under sur ; vtilance. If any of the refugees wish to go to France or England, they may be pet mitted so to do. The Czar will take r.o ! notice of their departure, notwithstanding i the danger that may attend them, whether | in Franee or England. There can be no doubt but that the ref ; ugees will busy themselves in preparing for a new revolution. The decisive attitude assumed by Eng land on the Turkish question has annoyed*"" the Emperor very much. He has caused Count Nesselrode to address an energetic note to the English government on the sufcject. In this note, the Ernperor pro rests against this hostile demonstration in the midst of peace, and against the right which England arrogates to herself to in terfere in a matter which regards only- Russia and the Sublime Porte. As to the difficulties which this affair may give rise to, the interpretation of the treaty between those two powers belongs (says the note) to them alone, and England ought to remain completely unconnected with it.

Rumors were still rife at Madrid, on the Ist inst., of a change in the ministry ; and these had such an effect on Narvaez, that he addressed the queen on the subject, who assured him of her confidence in him and his colleagues. Notwithstanding this, the return of Gen. Concha, and the haughty tone assumed by the king, who has recovered his influ ence with the queen, towards Narvaez, augur unfavorable for the continuance of the political power of the latter. ITALY. —It was expected at Rome that the Pope would be at Benevento on the 30th of October. The President of the Council, on the 4th. announced, officially, to the Chamber of Deputies at Turin, the appointment to his office of Gen. Lamarmora. Seven Days Later—Arrival of the Canada. FRANCE. —The political news is unimportant. The ruoat gratifying feature of the week's news is the interview between the President of Franre and Mr. Hires, the new American Minister, at F.lysec National. The American Minister made an address on the occasion, but observed total silence respecting the misunderstandings be tween France and the United States, arising o. t of the conductof M. Poussin.

There is now every probability of this affair ending ia the bombardment of Tangier. ROME. —From Rome we have but little that is certain and Interesting.
