PARDON OF DIR. BEALE.

The community was somewhat startled on
Thursday morning by the announcement that
Governor Pollock had extended the executive
clemency on DR.. Stephen T. Beale, convicted
OF an outrage upon the person Of young Ia
6y while under the influence Of chloroform.-
DR.. Beale was sentenced to an Imprisonment
OF four years and six months. the term COM
mencing on the 2Sth of November 1854. lie
has, therefore. served nearly year OF the
term for which he was sentenced. In the
document of mercy the Governor fully states
the reasons which actuated him in granting
the pardon.
He had received communications from
about one hundred and forty dentists and
twenty-tbree physicians, of this city and the
country, stating their belief that the testimony
as to matters transpiring under the influence
of ether is unsafe and unreliable from q
number of other physicians named, that they
believe him innocent; from large number
of the bar, and citizens of various States, in
cluding the names of Governors, Attorneys
General, &c, that they believe he was con.
vcted on insufficient testimony; from num-
ber of clergymen, that they believe him inno-
cent; from the Mayor of Philadelphia, and
fifty members ofthe Philadelphia City Coun-
cls; from members of the Legislature, Jud
ges of the Supreme Court, editors of Phila-
delphia newspapers, and five Thousand other
citizens of Pennsylvania and New York, with
FIVE of the jury on the trial, all asking for his
pardon. After enumerating all these facts,
the Governor says:
And whereas, the Board Of Inspectors Of
the said Philadelphia County Prison, las ap-
pears by their communication on file in the
Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth
how p,,cl1r Ial ba m
of the said DR.. Stephen II. Beale, because, in
their opinion, the end contemplated by the
law in the moral reform of the prisoner has
been attained--because full and ample satis-
faction has been rendered TO public sentiment
by the Imprisonment he has already under
gone---because his health is undoubtedly
breaking down under the sufferings of body
and mind which he has already endured, and
because the destitute condition of his aged
| parents and bereaved and sorrowing wife and
children imperatively demand the presence
and support of their son, husband and father
And whereas, after full and careful exam
ination of the facts and evidence in the case
aided by the scientific discussions to which i,
has given rise, (without any intentions to re
feet upon the prosecutrix, who no doubt tes
titled to what she believed did occur-nor tt
impugn the integrity Of the learned judge
who tried the case nor the honesty of the ju
ry who convicted the prisoner,) am now salts
fed that the defendant, DR.. Stephen Il. Beal
is not g~ilty of the crime whereof he stand
charged, and was convicted upon evidenc
unreliable in its character and insufficient il
amount.
l do, therefore, in consideration of til
premises. pardon the said DR.. Stspen I
Beale of the crime whereof he is convicted a
aforesaid and he is hereby fully pardoned &C
cordingly.

MIKE WALSH.

The Louisville Journal Of the I'd ult., gives
the following incident Of the tender years of
Mike Walsh
"The Hon. A. II. Stephens, in late speech
at Gifin, Ca, called for three cheersi or Mike
Walsh. and they were given from four thou
sand throats.
Mike has certainly been true to the South,
and with all his errors, we believe him to be
an honest man and patriot. We first saw
him nearly twenty-one years ago when he
wasn't more than twenty one years old. He
came into our Office with an old suit of clothes
muddy from head to foot, took dollar from
his pocket, which he said was all the money
he had in the world, and offered it to pay for
advertising scoundrel who, on his way up
the river, had stolen every thing belonging TO
him. We could not take the poor fellows
dollar, but we published his advertisement
We had forgotten the circumstance until he
recalled it to our mind, in the presence of
some of his congressional colleagues last win
| ter.
1t seems that Mike was coming up the ri
yer with few hard earned dollars in his fob,
when fellow who claimed to be the son of a
clergyman in this city. got in the kind hearted
youths good graces by representing himself
! to be sick and utterly destitute. Mike put
/
of his money, and took good care of him.
When the boat stopped at a landing the
invalid prolessed great desire for milk, and
begged Mike to 60 to house half mile off
and obtain some for him. Mike demnfred
saying the boat would leave him. But the
fellow made such piteous appeals to him that
he actually went, and the boat left him sure
enough, whereupon the invalid, recovering
suddenly, took possession of Mikes trunk and
all his worldly possessions, except what he
carried upon his back in his excursion after
the milk. Mike went to chopping wood till
he got to Louisville, and on arriving here
found as he expected, that his customer wa,
unknown in these parts.
Without farthng about him, he went tc
shovelling in the canal, and the first dollar he
made there was the one he brought to us =
He toied in the mud until he made enough
to 60 to Cleaveland on his way home, ant
there he met the man who had swindled him
The swind!er ran like deer, but Mike pur
sued him like greyhound caught him, ant
thrashed him nearly to death in the street be
fore any one could interfere Mike was sent
to Jail for assault ard battery, and his victim
was sent to the penetentiary. Mike is true
hearted, possesses very considerable talent
and is an utter stranger TO either personal oil
political fear We say with Mr.. Stephens
three cheers for Mike Walsh"

ANEW ZEALAND "LADY."

A Young gentleman who left Preston in
England, above four years ago, thus writes
home from Wacanni, in New Zealand, to a
friend :--"N eede-women are much wanted

important as wives, in the second as dressma-
kers, &c. All young men should marry be-
fore emigrating, Many who come out here

tives. My partner is native, and though
faultless in form. her complexion not more
fair than black-ia plain language she is a
woman Of color the exact shade approaching
much nearer to polished brown paper or ma
hogany, than anything else ! can remember.

what she elegantly terms kdi tupekd-An-
glice, food tobacco. Her hair hangs in neg
igent gracefulness, and is of a beautiful and
brilliant black Her eyes are brown, her
person tall and erect, and her carriage fault
less and as digniied as that of any European.
From one ear is suspended sharks tooth
and the other is embellished with a bit Of col
ored worsted. Her feet were never tortured
by shoes, nor concealed by stockings they
are as free as when nature formed them. She

Izaak Walton would have shrunk in opposi,

these remarks, as they will apply to the whole

that English and Maori connections are little
noticed. The practice is common and the
dark complexion, naked feet, and kai tupekd
have become familiar to us as possible.
