-JJnoTriER Jonathan's mammoth sheet for the
coming Halidays has made its appearance, and a
grand and imposing spectacle he presents to his
numerous readers and admirers. It would be al
most impossible to overrate the truly splendid col
lection of engravings which appear in this magni
ficent Christmas sheet. The fine large and graph
ic, picture of the ""Pleasures, Follies and Miseries
of a New York. Christmas,'! is a masterpiece of
American Fine.Arts; and either that or the group
of spirited portraits of " General Taylor and his
Cabinet," is alone worth double the cost of the
whole paper. We. have not room to enumerate a
tithe of the fifty -or sixty beautiful Engravings and
popular reading which go to make up this stupend
ous sheet. Of one thing we are ccrtarn. It is by-
far the best and handsomest pictorial' paper ever i
isucd in America or any where else. Published
by Wilson & Co., New York, at 12 cents per co

ISM, furnishes the following statement of the
whole number of pardons granted since 1841,
which includes the last three years of Gov. Porter's
administration. These are made up from the offi
cial records in the office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth, and show that since Gov. John
ston has occupied the executive chair, a period of
sixteen months, he has granted 116 pardons, or an
average of 87 annually, while the annual average
under Gov. Shunk, his immediate predecessor,
was 100, and under Gov. Porter 1G3! Moreover,
the number of rioters pardoned by Gov. Porter
was 50! by Gov. Shunk 37 ! while Gov. Johnston
has pardoned three, li is evident, therefore, that
neither the cause of justice, much less the cause
of truth, dictated tho animadversions of Judge
Parsons, and the public, who know all the facts,
can arrive at their own conclusions as to his mo
tives. The statement Is as follows :
Governor Porter Pardoned, during the last three
years of his administration 491
Average number annualy 1 03
Convicts pardoned in the city and county of
Philadelphia during these three years 130
Number for riot pardondohed in the State 50
Number for riot pardoned in the city and coun
ty of Philadelphia 10
Governor Shunk Pardoned - 350

to the government. They desired to be given
cannon and numerous flags ; and hinted at a wish
for more money than the treaty stipulations allow
them. The Commissioner stated the impossibility
of yielding to their desires, and that the Great
Father, the President, could not go beyond the
allowance of presents. The chief, White Hair,
desired the uniform of a General, which was al

Private Accoussts fvoin Calsforseia.
We have had an opportunity of conversing with
a gentleman residing at Worcester, Mass., says the
N. Y. Express, who arrived from California in the
Empire City steamer. He gives a melancholy
picture of affairs in California, and predicts that
the next steamer will bring intelligence of a gen
eral smash-up there. Property, he says, is tum
bling down, wages are reduced, and hundreds of
persons are begging for chances to work their pas
sage home in the steamer, guaranteeing at the same
lime, to pay their passage after their arrival here.
This gentleman also tells us, that miners return
ing from the mines to San Francisco, have ceased
to bring gold, and now bring instead, sore heads,
sore legs, and ruined constitutions ; according to
his account, many persons have perished at the
mines, and upon the road for lack of food and rai
ment. But we cannot give his report more in de
tail it is a most melancholy one, and he says,
what makes affairs siijl worse, is that speculators
in California are doing their best to send out fa
vorable accounts, in order to ge'tout of the scrape
themselves, by putting their burdens upon the
shoulders of new adventurers.
Arrest off Counterfeiters.
Infernal Machine Mystery Revealed. It' will
be recollected that a diabolical attempt was made
jn May last,7to take the life of Thomas Warner,
Esq.", and his family,-by means of a box filled with
explosive combustibles, which was sent to this
houso, during his absence at Philadelphia ; and,
upon being opened by Mr. Warner, exploded,
throwing down the partition wall between his dining-room
and hall, damaging the ceiling of-the
room, and throwing the windows into thc street,
Mr. Warner and family escaping just in time to
avoid destiuction. Since that lime, Mr. Warner,
Air. Geo. Wilkes, arjd officer A. M. C. Smith have
been indefatigable in their exertions to forret out
the perpetrators of this outrage; and, about two
months since, Samuel Drury, Jr., in a conversation
with an individual (which was overheard by Mr.
Wilkes and officer Smith,) stated that his father
had prepared the infernal machine, ' ahd that he,
(the son) had, disguised as a Spanish "ttegrtf, de
livered it at Mr. Warner's house,' also saying that
he was very sorry for it, and regretted doing it.
The evidence? thus obtained, was sufficient to im
plicate the son ; but further testimony was neces
sary in order to "connect the father (who, since
the occurrence, has been suspected as being the
perpetrator of the. plot.) in such a manner as to
warrant his arrest. ' f ...
-On Tuesday last this! evidence was' obtained.
In conversation with twh notorious characters in
the upper part of -the citj, Drury; Sen.,' was over
heard; by officers Jenkns and Crasseau of the
Sixth Ward, to say that he had constructed the in
fernal machine, and had1 used every means in his
power to make it effectual in destroying the lives
of Mr. Warner and his family, and urging them to
I take the matter in handi In the course of conver
sation with these two men, he reverted to his suc
cess and-that of others in passing off a large quan
tity of altered bank-bills of the Eagle Bank of
Bristol, Pa., for which offence a man by the name
of Ashley and a young woman named O'Connor,
were arrested m Boston some time since. He
also conversed about the price of dies, plates for
the counterfeiting and nltering of bank bills, and
for manufacturing spurious coin, fc. On this in
formation being obtained, the necessary affidavits
were made, a warrant issued, and officer A. M. C.
Smith and Mr. Geo. Wilke, 'arrested Mr.-Drury
and his son at Brooklyn. Immediately on the ar
rest, one of them dropped four $10 altered bills on
the Eagle Bank', which were picked up by the
officer, who conducted them to the Tombs, where
ihey were locked up. The officers proceeded to
his house in Astoria, and upon searching it, found
a large number of dies tor counterfeiting doubloons,
and other Spanish and American coins, vignettes
and apparatus for counterfeiting and altering bank
bills, and several thousand dollars wotih of gold
watches, silver spoons, &c, the greater part of
which is supposed to be the proceeds of a burglary
committed at Roxbury, Mass., some time since.
N. 'Y. Tribune, Nov. 19.
(TJ? Mr. Drury is a man of considerable wealth,
estimated to be worth sonic $80,000. l' He owns
thofaTtn he re&ides'on at" Astoria, valued at near
$15,000; he is also proprietor ofu bank, called
the " Merchants1 Bank," at Canandaigua, in this
State. He has resided about nine years at As
toria, and was known as a smelter that is, a pur
chaser of sweepings from jewellers' shops, which
he purchased and melted the same into bullion.
Some few years ago his premises at Astoria, were
consumed by fire, and a rumer was raised that he
had fired the same, for the purpose of obtaining
the insurance. Indictments were found against
him for arson, and he was tried and -acquitted on
all. Since that time the inhabitants of Astoria
have considered Mr. D. an injured man. Tfcrald.

IE? There is now living in New York city, in ex
treme want, a man, who at one' time had one hun-;
dred and eighty thousand dollars, amassed by a
few weeks' successful gambling. For some years
he lived in the utmost luxury, having over four
hundred suits of clothes, but the smiles of fortune
deserted him, and at last he has been reduced to
beggary. In thread-bare coat, and without either
energy or character, he is daily seen in Broadway.
Oiar State.
The State of Pennsylvania, says Mr. Skinner,
comprises about as many acres as the six New
England States, and supports a population of less
than they, by about 500,000. But Pennsylvania
feeds 100,000 more horses than all tliose six States
united. Now supposing 50,000 of these horses
give place to 50,000 oxen, and then there will be
50,000 horses more than in all New Fngland, how
much beef could be raised, for feeding men, on the
300,000 acres now dedicated to tho feeding of the
50,000 horses, supposing three horses consume
the produce annually of six acres of oats, each at
33 1-8 bushels to thc acre ?
TIae Treasury Deficit.
The Republic, in referring to the deficit of between
fifteen and twenty millions, which it has already
been announced will exist in the amount of reve
nue requsite to meet the expenditures of the gov
ernment for the fiscal years, ending- the 30th June,
1850, and the 30th June,. 1851, thus explains it
from official documents : Our receipts ifl 1847
were $26,340,790 ; our expenditures in the same
years were $55,929,093. Our receipts in 1848
were $35,430,750 : our disbursements in the same
year were $42,811,970. In the same -years.1847
and 1848, therefore, our expenses exceeded our
income 830,957,523. By the law providing for
the exeution, in part, of the twelfth article of the
