Governor of the said Commonwealth. A PROCl,A3IATOar. 1111. promise that "seed time . and harvest shall not cease" has 'again been fulfilled: A God of in finite goodness has watched over and cared for us, as a. reople, du ring another year ; Plenty has poured her I reasures into our garners ; Peace has presi ded over our councils, and Health and Happi ness have been universally enjoyed : Civil and religious liberty has been more widely spread and the foundations 01 those Institu tions which our Fathers laid, have been deep ened and strengthened by the Providences thus vouchsafed to us. To that gracious Giver, to whom belong "the Eurth and the fullness thereof for these manifold evidences of his beneficence, the Citizens of this Commonwealth owe public demonstration of their humble dependence and adoration, and of their heartfelt gratitude and thanksgiving. Deeply impressed with the propriety of the duly, and in accordance with venerated cus torn, I, William F. Johnston, Governor of the said Commonwealth, do hereby appoint and designate Thttrsday, the 27th day of November, next, as a day of general THANKSGIVING through out the State, and I hereby recommend and earnestly invite all the good People of this Commonwealth to a sincere and prayerful ob servance of the same.

OTAlbcrt Philips is the first Whig Sheriff elected in Bucks county, in more than twen ty years, and has received the largest major ity (87) of any Sheriff within that period, with a single exception. This is a little re markable, to say the least. Gen. Wiuficld .Soot I. There is but one opinion entertained among the Whigs of this quarter, says the Hollidays hurg Register, in regard to the next Presi dency, and that is, that with no other man than Gen. Scott, can they have any expecta tion of- carrying the State; whilst with him iis their leader they are as certain of victory as if the battle were already won. And in deed so strong does the feeling run in favor of the Old Hero that many avow their deter inination to support liim regardless of party conventions, or any thing of the kind. For our own part, we are for Scott and Victory and fur just such a course as will secure his election. We have been for him "from the start;" and from the hour that Polk, Marcy Pillow & Co. villainously robbed him of his command, and disgraced him on the field 0 his glory and in the face of his gallant army xmr heart and our hand have been set for his promotion to the Presidency. Scott and Victory is now our watchword. City. mortality. The deaths in the four great Atlantic cities "for the week ending October lSlh, may be computed as follows: Deaths. Population.

A House Destroyed by a Meteor. The English papers received by the steamer America, state that a house in Westminster street, London, belonging to a carver and guilder, was set on fire and nearly destroyed by a meteor, which descended upon the roof in tne stupe of a ball ol fire. A Valeoittory. The Daily American having been discontinued, Mr. Edward Mc Pherson, the Editor, published the following pungent valedictory : The Editor of the American during the recent canvess retires from his post this day. He has endeavored to do his full duty. He returns his thanks to the Whig press for the kind manner in which they have received the American, and to the Locofoco press for the foul manner in which they have abused it edward Mcpherson. The paper has been conducted with distin gakned ability during the campaign. The Editor preved himself able to grapple with any of his opponents. The Weekly American is to be contined by Mr. McCurdv. The drought is so severe on the road between Pittsburg and Washington, that travelers have not been able 0 procure water for their horses at one dollar per bucket.

Mr. Walsh, long a resident of Paris, writes rom that city under date of September 16th, to the Journal of Commerce, as follows : " That great events are just before us, is certain. That crisis of which I have often spoken to you is drawing very near. Between the 16th day of September and the middle or end of next May, the destinies of Europe for probably half a century which in these days is a very Jong time will be decided. A fierce struggle it may be a most desperate and bloody struggle between liberty, civil and religious, on the one hand, and hoary des potism in politics and the religion on the other. What will be the issue, God alone knows ! "I find that there is a wonderful activity here in the political world. The foreign am bassadors, espicially those of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, have frequent conferences, and are constantly sending and receiving des patches. Nor the Ministers resident of the smaller Powers, such as Sardina, Naples, Spain, the States of the Church, Belgium and iionanti, luie. nose of England and the U nited States are wide awake, and the former has not a little to do to look after these Con tinental Stales, and the movements of their rulers.

The news from the whaling expedition in the Northern Pacific is most distressing. The whole fleet is all but a complete wreck. and the enterprise, as fur as it has gone, is an utter failure. In consequence of this in telligence the holders of oil and bone in New York refused to name any price for those ar ticles. It appears that the whole whaling fleet lau winierea in tne uult of Aanadir in the northern part of the sea of Kamschatka, in in ivussia, in Asia, anu, on coming on ot spring had set sail for Bherings Straits ; but in at tempting to pass through the Arctic Ocean, the fleet was environed by ice, and a large number of vessels were wrecked. 1 he crews of the destroyed vessels are re ported to have reached the main land in safe ty ; but it is said that in some disturbances af terwards with the natives, eleven of the whale men lost their lives.

Winfield Scott, addressing him as the undoubted Whig candidate for the next Presidency, and re questing his opinions upon the various politi cal questions which have agitated the coun try.

From the N. O. Picayune. The Plague in the Canary Isl ands. Our Havana Correspondent, under date of the 2d inst., says: "I send you a statement of n tnrrific rinidemic. the plague, at the Canary Islands. They got it fishing on the coast of the sea." It is feared that the negro traders will bring it to Havana. The following is our translation of the statement referred to: The year 1801 opened under the.most fa vorable auspices for the Canary Islands, their increase in commerce and population being well known. The fine arts also flourished. But the destiny which for a moment seemed to rest from the persecution of these islands, which had dated from the time when they took the name of " the Unfortunate," again fell upon them with more fury than ever. Before its terrible anathema, commerce was paralized, the theatres were closed, conster nation seized every mind, the inhabitants hid themselves or retired to the country, and soon stupor, sadness, and almost despair, replaced the hours of felicity of those once happy peo ple. On the Gth June, 1851, the official journal of the province contained the following: "The Board of Health of the District of Las Paimas, in the Canaries, has informed the Superior of the Province, under date of the 5th inst, that in the barrio of San Jose, in the city of the same name, some cases of ep idemic cholera morbus have appeared." In consequence of this, precautionary measures were ordered to be taken. For some months this infirmity has been prevailing in the city of Las Paimas, display ing itself in isolated cases. The faculty, through ignorance or malice, classed it as malignant quincy. But the authorities, as- ribly disfigured, ordered the Board of Health cf the Island, under the strictest responsibili ty, to declare the nature of the epidemic. Then, with general terror, the announcement j we have alluded to was received. History does not record anything so sad as the spectacle which the Island of Grand late such misfortunes and horrors, and words would not be sufficient to depict their inten sity. The epidemic now raged with such fury that the inhabitants, in consternation, aban doned the town, without caring for anything but their nersnns. tn Rimb nn pvtfint that thav I cven forgot the ties of blood. Death surprised ; tjjein jn tj,c nridstof their flight, so that roads were covered with corpses, over which not a tear of friendship, or of filial or fraternal love was shed, because terror had smothered eve ry sentiment except that of self-preservation As was to be expected, the fugitives, carrv ing with them the fatal germ, infected the country, which became the theater of the I most horrible scenes. i Tllf? bn.1Rt3 nUanAnnnA in lin r.U J for want of food, and the decomposition of; , their bodies, together with that of the hu- man corpses which remained unbuned in the streets, vitiated the atmosphere to such an ex- tent mat any unfortunate person who mifht return to the city fell dead almost as soon as lie entered a house. However, this new con trctempts was stopped as soon as possible by j the energetic measures taken bv the worthy Military Governor, and by the humanity of tlir ennrmri nInln)A I- fi " 1 1 "v.wwiu uiuiaut- ui urn ourrujnuor, anu va- nous younff m of wh f u yictj to their heroism. i. uiuuv ui wiiuin mil vicums At last the supposition was confirmed that ' the epidemic was not the cholera, but the ! terriDie piague of the Moors, it havirnr been ascertained that it was introduced into the Is land of Grand Canary by the fishing vessels wnicu irequent tne western coasts of Africa. The persons in the Island devoted to this traf fic, numbering about 1,800, have almost all perished, as there remain only enough to man a single vessel.

The Bishop is one of the persons in Grand Canary who have contributed most to the al leviation of suffering humanity.

Proclamation of the President in regard to the Expeditious against Mexico. Washington, Thursday, Oct. 23, 1851. The following has been issued by the Pres ident: A PROCLAMATION. Whereas, there is reason to believe that a military expedition is about to be fitted out in the United States, for the purpose of inva ding the Mexican Republic, with which this country is at peace, and whereas, there is reason to apprehend that a portion of the peo ple of this country regardless of their duties as good citizens are concerned in, or may be seduced to take part in the same. And Wiiekeas, such enterprises lend to degrade the character of the United States in the opinion of the civilized world, and are expressly prohibited by law, now, therefore, I have issued this, my Proclamation, warning all persons who shall connect themselves with any such enterprise, in violation of the laws and national obligation of the United States, that they will thereby subject themselves to the heavy penalties denounced against such offenders ; that if they should be captured within the jurisdiction of the Mexican au thorities, they must expect to bo tried ami punished according to the laws of Mexico; and will have no right to claim the interpo sition of this Government iu their bc-lialf. I therefore expect all well-diaposed citizens who have at heart the reputation of the coun try, and are animated with a just regard for its laws, its peace and its welfare, to discoun tenance, and by all lawful means prevent and any such enterprise ; and I call upon every officer of this Government, civil or military, to be vigilant in arresting, for trial and pun isnnieht, every such otTendcr.
