When hia exhausted system, under the e eess ol pain, sunk, for a moment, from debility, 'Do not weep," shid he to bis adopted daughter; "my sufferings are less than those of Christ up on the cross; for he, too, as a disciple of the cross, could have devoted himself, in sorrrw, for mankind.

President .Tonrs has pledged him self, in his message, to carry out the expressed will of the people. Tut should the President even feel disposed to vetothe bill, Congress could pas the measure by two thirds, having already passed it unanimously. But President Jones will not be mad enough to oppose a measure which he knows he cannot prevent. Mexico will probiibly bristle up and threuten war; but, as she will not be supported by any other power, it will amount to nothing. England miuht be disiosed to assist ; but, she is too fen i fill of her own discordant elements at home, to venture in to a war w-ith any formidable power. Besides, the present pacific ministry of France must soon yield to the popular will, which is a hereditary hatred of everything English, and the French will not be slow to carry out their ancient grudge, the first opportunity that may offer.

In our last paper we stated that we would shew the deep interest the Reading Rait Road Company had in the completion of the Shamo- kin, Mahonoy, and Schuylkill Road. The esti mated tonnage, of the descending liade, we fixed at 110,000 tons, which, at St 50 ;er ton, about tho average ol the present low rates on the Read ing Road, would amount to 10,000. The ton nage, from Philadelphia back, say 00,000, at S3 50 per ton, would make S2t0,000 ; or the, whole amount of tonnage, making an increase in the re ceipts of the Reading Road of ? I'.'O.OOU, the nett receipts of which may be faiily estimated at $210,000, which would pay six per cent on a ca pital of four millions of dollars, and enhance the present value of the Reading Road to er cent on its outlay of ten millions. In this estimate we have not included the receipts from travelling, which would embrace nearly the whole of North ern Pennsylvania. 1'ut, independent of all this. if there was not a ton of this tiade in existence, Jhe coal trade, qn the line of the contemplated Road, would, alone, largely increase the income of the Reading Road, besides paying six per cent on twice the estimated cost of construction. The operators of the Shamokin Coal region can now bring their Coal to this place, I'J miles by horse power, at 1 00 J perton.and would be willing to guarantee to deliver coal at Pottsville at f'.' per ton, where it is now woilh from $3 Ivi to '.'0, and pay 50 per cent more freight and toll than is now charged on the Reading Road. The vast extent and abundance of Coal, and the very u peiior facilities for mining, will enable them to do this with profit to themselves. But a greater part of the Coal region, that will be oened by this Roaif) will not be more than from 15 to l'i miles from Pottsville, and will be able to com pete successfully with the mobt favored mines of the Schuylkill region, and thus increase the tonnage of the Reading Road to an almost unli- j mited extent. The estimated cott of the conncc- j tion, between Shaiimkiii and Pottsville, is i;00,- j 000. We have shown that the tonnage will not I be less than UOO.OliU tons, exclusive of the An- j thracite Coal trade, and taking the ne'.t receipts i at half of the an, omit, fur the same tiade, over, the Heading Road, we have a clear ii.coine of $130,000, on an expeudituie of ?'ilin (,(Ki uy j cover all possible, contingencies, let us lix the a I mount at half that sum and we shall still he ahlu to 1 J divide ten per cent on the amount ol capital in vested, and all without taking into consideration ' a single ton of the coal trade of the region. The nett receipts of The Reading Kail Road, for lees than tun )ears, Would complete this Road, which might hi- properly termed the main aitery i of its future prosperity. We may herealter shew the importance of I his link in the great chain of Rail Road between Philadelphia and F.rie, and the New Voik Rail Road.
