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

that 'he \ oui.g men content themselves

: 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.

| 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.

Latest Foreign News.
ltv THE CALEDONIA.
Mr. Rives the American Minister to the
Republic of France, was received on the
B'.h inst., an event which will put to rest
whit has been the subject- here of a thou
smd rumors and numberless conjectures.
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.
TURKEY.-A correspondent, writing from
Constantinople, thus refers to the activity
prevailing there:— 4 The Turks continue
their warlike preparations, and their whole
fleet will be ready very quickly, for they
are actively at work upon every ship fit
for service.'
Turkey is now in a state to defy Russia.
FRANCE. —France has been quiet under
{ the extraordinary circumstances which oc
curred in the capital.
The manoeuvring of rival parties, since
the fall of Louis Philippe, has never ceased;
and in such a crisis as the present, muri
have been carried on with even increased
activity; but this has been less apparent
than before.
Orders have been forwarded by the
French government, for a steam frigate to
proceed to Portici, to be placed at the
Pope's disposal, as he appears decided to
return immediately* to Rome.
M. Pierre Paleocanoe is appointed Min
ister of Public Works.
SPAIN. —The Cortes was opened on the
30th uIL, by the reading of the royal de
cree declaring the session open.
Senor Maynas was elected, by a large
majority, provisional President of the
Chamber of Deputies. M. Mon had de
clined the nomination.
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. The President,
however, alluded to the affair in terms flat
tering to the American Minister and his coun
try.
The dispute between the Emperor of Morocco
and the French seems to increase in violence.
The French Consul at Mogadore has been treat
ed harshly and ignominious!}*, and a French
frigate has been sent to his relief. 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. It seems, however,
that the Pope really meditates an early return
to Rome, and, indeed, his arrival at one mo
ment was actually announced.
HUNGARY AND AUSTRIA. -rFrom Hungary wo
learn that fresh condemnations are taking place,
and no fewer than fifteen additional executions,
at Arad. are threatened daily.
The valedictory address of Kossuth to his
countrymen, written at Orsova, has been pub
lished. it is written in a most enthusiastic, po
etical style.
Gen. llaynau is carrying on his unrelenting
cruelties, unchecked by higher authority.
The Jews of Pesth are once more threatened

tions demanded.
LONDON, NOV. 16. —Advices from Constanti
nople to the Ist instant, state that the British
fleet was at anchor in Alonkin Bay, and would
remain there until the arrival of the courier
with the answer of the Czar to the communica
tion of Fuad Eflen li. Should that answer provo
unfavorable, the fleet will proceed at once to
Constantinople.
Sir Stratford Canning has communicated to
the Turkish government that the English Cabi
net had unanimously agreed to form an offen
sive alliance with the Porte, in the event of hos
tile proceedings on the part of Russia. A simi
lar communication has been made by Gen. Au*
lick, in behalf of the French government.
