which, after deducting expenses, about $l1,O0O
ana donation of 81. 1858 to the Protestant aud

amount which will be realized from The sale of

The San Francisco HcraH thinks it is to be re-
GREETED that The exhibition was not continued an
other week, ut reduced prices, believing that
hundreds of the residents of that city would
have availed themselves Of the information and
amusement there conccatrnted. Referring to
to the success Of the Exhibition, the Herald says
Viewed in any light, this exhibition presents
much food for rejection, the most important be
ing the fact that California is abundantly able to
supply nearly all her wants from her own resour-
ces, and at rs cheap rates as they can be import
ed. The fact has been tiumphanty shown. that
we possess artiZaus and mechanics inferior to no
other portion OF our country, and they only re-
qulre the patronage and support Of their fellow
citizens TO encourage them TO further and more
satisfactory efforts
IN inventive faculty we have shown ourselves
equal to any Of the New England States the rel
auve age OF California and other drawbacks con-
sldered and we feel sanguine that in one or two
instances, the discoveries and improvements
made, are destined to effect serious and highly
beneficial revolutions in the scientific world.

a PROCLAMATION.

Fellow Citizeus:-To render to Almigh-
ty God, who controls the destinies of ma
tions and nnen, the homage of degout grati-
tude and praise for his goodness and his
mercy, is the appropriate aud solemu duty
Of free aud highly favored people, As
the giver of every good and perfect gift We
should ever recognize His hanl in our mer-
cies, and acknowledge our dependence upon
His providence; and although adversely
may throw its dark shadow across cur path
way, yet we should be assured of this "the
Judge of all tlIe earth will do right"
During the past year the bounties of u
kind Providence have not been Withheld from
our Commonwealth. Our free institutions
have been preserved, and our rights and
privileges, civil and religious, enjoyed and
maintained. The arts and sciences, and the
great Interests of education, morality and
religion, have claimed the attention and re-
ceived the encouragement Of an intelligent
and liberal people. Honorable industry in
its varied departments has been rewarded;
and although recent and severe financial re-
vulsion has filed with gloom, sorrow and
distress, the hearts aud homes of many of
our citizens, yet no fear OF famine, no dread
Of impending public or social calamity, min
giles with our emotions of gratitude for past
blessings, or weakens our trust for the fu-
ture, III the providence of Him who wounds
but to heal, and ''whose mercy eudureth
forever" A plenteous harvest has crowned
the .abers of the husbandman--peace with
its gentle aud reforming influences, and un-
won,ed health with its benefits and nlercies
have been VoIchsafed to us.
In acknowledgement of these manifold
blesSiugs,we shold offer unto God thanksgiv-
ing and pay our VOWS unto the most High:
and cali upon aim sin the day Of trouble
He will deliver thee and thou shalt glcrify
Him."
Under the solmn conviction of the proprie-
~ OF this duty, and in conformity with estab-
llshed custom and the wishes of many good
citizens, |, JAMES PoLLoox, Governor of
the Commonwealth of Penns ylyania, do here
by recommend THURSDAY TIE TWENTY
SIXTH DAY OF NOVEMBER NEXT, as day
of general thanksgiving and praise through
out this State, and earnestly request the
people that abstaining from their usual avo-
cations and all worldly pursuits they assem-
bic on that day according to their religious
customs, and unite in Offering thanks TO Al
mighty God for his past goodness and mer-
cies; and while humbly acknowledging our
transgressiou, and imploring His forgiveness
beseech Him, with sincere aud earnest de :
sire. to return and visit us again with His.
loving kindness, make us worthy of His
bounties, and continue to us the rich bles-
sings of His providence and grace.
Given under my hand aud the Great Seal
{ ~ of the State at Harrisburg, this
L. 6. nineteenth day of October, in the
~ year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and 6fty-seven, and Of the
Commonwealth the cighty-second.
