REA DINO RA ILIMAD.- Not a little anxiety is felt and almost t.Uurly espressed, as to the probable time when the Reading Railroad will he completed to our borough. We have made diligent inquiry, , at the proper sources, for the .purpose of satisfying this nat ural curiosity of the public, and the sum and sub stance of the information gleanedis as follows : The Tunnel at Port Clinton is completed, and the rails in it have been laid ere this. Below the Tunnel, a few day fl since, there were several tons of rails to lay, which, doubtless, base been laid likewise. The em bankment at Mount Carbon will require a few days more to finish. We also learn that 'the road is so far completed, that on Tuesday next a loconiotive will leave Reading for Pottsville, fur the purpose of trying the water stations, &c. Although the Road Ira's been pushed on with the greatest rapidity, eve ry attention has been paid with reference to its strength and durability. In this respect it cannot be excelled, if equalled, by any railroad tict the Uni ted States." THE CATHLIII NE FUR"; ACE.—The Catharine Furnace, in Blossburg, Tioga county, has been put in blast.

I ' Prz 711145 M litiront.— The Tark—W6 learn from the National Iptelligencer that the annual report of tbe- , beeretary of the Treasury ties been sent to both ionises of Congrtse. The following is an • al:bieviation of the Intelligenctes abstract of the report , : There will be an estimated deficiency, in the Treasury On the first of January nest, requir ing immediate provision to meet' it, of $627,559. An' extension in the time for the redemption of the twelve million loan is asked. For the next year (1842) the Receipts into the Treasury (excluding - the proceeds of salee of Pub lie • Land.) are estimated at,. sl9,2oo,ooo—from which is to be deducted 1627,559, the estimated deficiency at the end of the prpent year. The Ez pfmtlittares for the year, including the amount news eery to redeem seven millions of outstanding Trea sury Notes, are estimated at $32,791,010 ; leaving in be provided for, on aceonnt of the expenditures of 1342, the estimated sum of $14,218,670. To meet Mid deficiency in the resents.' for 1842, the Secretary recommends to Congas to authorise an extension of the term of the portion of the twelve million loan not yet taken, and a re-issue of the Treasury Notes heretofore authorized by law, amounting to five millions of dollars; _ the balance of the deficit in the ways and means, together Nub two millions el dollars (a surplus deemed necessary to be in the Treasury to meet emergencies in the public service.) to be supplied from i nports upon such foreign articles imported into the United States G. as may be selected with due regard to a rigid re striction, in amount, to the actual waists of the Go vernment, and a proper economy in its administra tion." This is the outline of the Budget, as it is very plainly and clearly stated, in the Secretary's Report. The Report then goes into an argument upon the principles which ought to govern the adjustment of the Tariff to the wants of the Government. Tea Dirrinsrics.—Prum the Report of the Post master General it appears that in 1790 the whole number of post offices in the United States did not emceed 75 ; the number of miles of post road, 1,875; the Revenue, $37,936A . the expenditures, $32,140. In 1840, the whole number of, post offi ces in the United States was_ 13,488 ; the number of miles of post load, 155,739 ; the gross revenue for the same year was $4,539,205, and the expendi ture was $4,759,110 CHITILE9TO7I le the only city in the Union that has been retrograding in numbers and wealth dur ing the last ten years.

'The violent storm of mow which visitesl us last week appears to, have- been felt in all directions. In our . immediate neighborhood, if there was not much damage done, a great deal of inconvenience was.experienced. Between Pottsville and Danville 'the average depth of snow could not have been less than two feet; but the wind blew with such vita lence that parts of the mountains were literally im passible. The snow drifted in some places to a height of ten, twelve and even fifteen feet. The stages that left Danville on Friday morning did not reach our, borough until Saturday evening, Al though there was no detention between Vottsville and Reading, the fall of snow was ea heavy below the latter place, that the Reading Railroad was clo sed for about - forty eight hours, and Saturday and Sunday's mail from Philadelphia did not reach here until Monday evening last. The Philadelphia, New York end Boston papers contain a long cats• logue of disasters—principally marinethe effects of the same storm. Many ships in the harbor of New York dragged their anchors, one steamer and several sailing vessels, on Long Island 9 ,und, Were driven ashore and bat, and many others were disa bled. We have heard of no loss of lives, but the amount of property destroyed must be very consi derable. Mr. Benade's long -s4pected painting of Potts ville this arrived, and has been left at , our office for inspection. All who have seen it pronounce it a perfect gem. It is indeed beautiful. The specta tor is supposed to be standing, on the top of Law ton's Hill," and the time is about sunset, of a glo rious summer's day. In the foreground we nave ,one of our mountain pines, exquisitely finished, some cattle, and a miner returning froni his sqloterranean labors. Below lays our borough, end each house will be easily recognized by our citizens. In the distance, Morris' Addition and Mount Carbon is seen to advantage. .

The variegated colors of the moun tain foiliage are given with great truth and effect, and ale among the chief beauties of the piece. The painting is for sale ; but before the delivery to the purchaser, it must he sent to Mr. Benade, for the purpose of having the same transferred on stone. The lithographic views will be executed as soon as there is a sufficient dumber of subscribers to warrant the undertaking ; and we doubt not that there is spirit enough among our citizens to procure the re quisite number.

When she arrived at Trenton, she set out to walk by the Canal bank, to some acquaintance in Law rence. - She became very thirsty and made several attempts to get water from the Canal, in ell of which she failed, on account of the steepness of the bank, and in the last, lost her balance, and her child fell into the water. She could not recover it; and stu piSed by gin, and horror-stricken by the thought that her child was drowned through her, intemperance, she at first determined to deny all knowledge of the body." CAPTURE OF THE SANTA Fa EXPEDITION.—We have been show) a semi-official letter from a high public functionary in the Mexican capital, which stater explicitly that the Teams had been captu. rettentire. and were held prisoners by the-Mexican troops. We fain would hope that all these accounts may not be well founded ; that our brave friends may not have been overpowered by ruthless num bers; and that they may yet return in safety and freedom. Bat our hope waxeth weak. We learn verbally by the same arrival that in formation had been received in Yucatan of five Mexican Commissioners, charged with special powers for arranging with' that State the terms on which she would return as a member of the Mesa. can Republic, now that the mother had resumed her acknowledged duty, and embraced the Federal Republicanism of 1824. Most of tho Mexicans be lieva that Yucatan would readily agree to return, and again become a Mexican State. We shall shortly see. [ N. 0. Bulletin, 7th. The New York Tribune of last Saturday gives the following particulars of theiccident to the New Haven steamers during the storm of Thursday nigh:: The steamboat Belle left this city on Thursday afternoon at about 4 u"cloak, but was soon forced by the storm to anchor under the lee of Hart's Island. At about ten she dragged her anchor; which was cast in a new place. The cable soon parted, as did that of the second anchor. The machinery was set in motion, but the tiller ropes gave way, and the boat was driven at the mercy of the winds, and went ashore at half past ten. She continued to withstand a most furious sea until half past one, when she sprung a leak and noon filled with water. The passengers, crew and freight are all saved. During the whole, the captain acted with great coolness and discretion, and the crew with promptitude and vigor.
