The amoiitit madu from the cane ie 160 millions, from maple 2:1 milliuns, which is nearly equal to one sixth of ihoc.no product. And this is produced will) but lilt le attention, should more cure be paid to this imcreeti. g manufacture, a l arge increase could icndily ho obtained. It requires thir ty pounds of sugar lo supply each individual, young and old, iu tho United fetaic. Already Michigan furnishes ten pounds for each individual in the state. The Detroit editor, on the sul jeel oflhe sugar maple, says; "The resources of Mi chigan making a sufficient quantity of sugar, not only for consumption, but fir exports to our sister states in quanlilic of millions of pound, is tin tlouhtrd, ben we eons'nb r that we have 30,000,000 of acres of land in our slate which abounds w ith maple sugar, which is not only a profitable tiec for sugar, but it affords most agreeable molasses, and un excellent vim gar." According to the usual profit of a sugar nutplo tree, it is worth to the far mer from two to lliTce dollais, and it is to bo hoped that Ihe m-rlei, in clearing his lands, will tare the ina k. On a farm of SOU acies, in the sugar maple districts of Michigan, there ore from 0 11140 trees to the ncre, and in two hundred acres we find C00O, If only 2000 of them were suffered to remain, and each tree niToided 5 pounds of sugar the ai.nual profit of the faim in sugai alone, at 7 cents per pound, would be 550 dollars, in addition to the allotting 150 lo defray the expenses of making it. The editor adds that it will be in ihe power of Michigan in 1850, with proper attention to this subject, in the produc'ion of sugar, to stand next to Louisiana. It appears fiom this very important statement, that the maple is a most valuable tree, and that it may justly be placed along side of the cane in it product. For ourselves, we can hardly conceive any thing more interesting than a grovo of these inapbs, supplying its owner with a most beautiful sugar, ford iinrst c u-esand for exportation. (ireen county, Wisconsin Territory, supplies the whole population with a very excellent sugar, from the maple. There are many first rate orchards in Wisconsin. The State of Indiana has any quantity of sugar mnplcs growing within her limits. S?o iu the West generally, Pennsylvania has a large quantity of these trees mid makes good sugar. The farmers every where should pay strict attention to the pre servation of tho sugar maple. The late Dr. Kush, many years ago, wrote an excellent paper upon the impoitancu of this tree.

Iinigination is a powerful ug nt in deceiving even intelligent people. We find in a late English paper on account of a trial of Edward Glover, on a ciiargo for having in bis pocssion 2000 pounds of fabricated lea. An ulficer testified that having received a warrant to seaich the defende ill's premises, be and two other persons, proceeded there, and discovered an im mense quantity of leaves tlosely lesemhling China Tea. omo of it was in sacks and hainpeis, and a great portion was bung ubout fur drying, for which purpose (he place was fitted up with the ne cessary slotes and utensils. They immediately gave notice to Government of the result of tht it in vestigation, and Mi. liinl, the surveying ixuiuuie- general of excise was otjered to make a further ex amination. Mr. Dird stated be leceit d possession of eight sacks of the rubbish, which was so line an imitation of lea that at fust fright any person would have eupposed it to be the genuine article. On testing a sample from each sack, he found the whole to bo composed of blackthorn, and fern leaves. Mr. lSird produced eight samples of thestull and mixed tbein with puic tea to the extent of one half of each.

Edinburgh Cabinet Library. Discovery among the Mars. M. Dessell, a German Astronomer, has made ono of the greatest discoveries, of modern limes, by hav ing ascertained Ihe parallax of the doublo star Gl Cygni, He found, from repeated observations, made from August, 1837, to March, 1640, that ihe psrull x of a Cygni did not exceed 31 hundtcths of a second, which places the distance of that star from us at nearly C70.0C0 times that of Ihe sun, or which is nearly 61 millions of millions of miles, (or more nearly C3,(i50,(itiO,000 miles.) This im. menco distance can belter be conceived when we slate, that if a cannon bull were to Iraveise this vast spare at the rate of 20 miles a minute, it would occupy more than C.000,000, years in coming fiom that star to our earth ; and if a body could be pio jected from our earth to 61 Cygni, at lliiity miles an hour, (which is about the same rate as carriages on r.iilrouds tiavel,) it would occupy at least llG, 900,000 years.

Anthracite Iron. We were pleased to see, while travelling !n Ihe packet lute from Harrisburg to Northumberland a few days since, a great number of boats laden with anthracite iron from Columbia county, on its way to market. This iron is, we believe, nearly all con signed to New York, where we presume it will be extensively used in the fine large c.istings that are now making for the magnificent steam ships about to be con.atiucted in that port. For that purpose it is superior lo any other, as it has been found, by re peated experiments, to possess more tenacity and strength than iron smelted by charcoal. We trust some enterprising capitalist will soon undertake to make the iron T rails for rail road from the same mrt.il. Nothing would be morn important to the interests of Pennsylvania, and lo the whole Union.

The stockholders, it seems, have agreed te place the institution under the control of the lo gislatuic, in relation to any law that they may enact fur the purpose of regulating the banks. This is a surrender of an important privilege, without which, Mr. Diddle and the directors positively refused to accept the charter of the present bank in 183G.

May 6, 1841. Dear Sir: The Western Mail, this eflcrnoon, brings us the mortifying news that the war is not over yet. On the afternoon of the 3d inst, a citizen was shot near FortTarver, by the Indians: ho was penetrated by three balls i yesterday morning he was still alive, and said he saw two oflhe Indians when they fired. Tho troops at Micanopy, at soon as the news arrived, were instantly put in motion, lo drive these daring marauders from their present haunts near the settlements. It is supposed this outrage was done by Allecktusteennggee's band, who has lately refused lo come in to Tampa Bay or negociate leaving it to be infened be intends to be hostile. The Western Trade. The Fort Wayne (Indiana) Times says, We were gratified tho other doy lo see one of the Trans portation Companies' freight boats come, loaded to the water's surface with bacon, nicely packed in largo tierces, marked for 'Philadelphia.'

This is the be ginning of an immense poik and bacon trade, that will spring up in northern Indiana as fast as tho resources oflhe country can be developed. Tito years ago our mnrket was supplied with bacon by wagons from Ohio. The Cross Cut Connl.

Some going on to Cleaveland and the northwest, others going south and west ; a very considerable amount has been lent to Massil Ion, Woostcr, Canton, cVc, More Imposition. The Morris Canal Company has just issued note in the form of Bank bills, payable in twelve moid lit and from the total want of confidence in that in stitution, exhibited in New York, we would seri ously adviso our citizens not to touch their notes The Journal of Commerce says, "the stock of tin company is worth little or nothing in market; in deed, large claims against it are lying in dishonor An institution thus situated, is at best no very pro misiug we think it altogether promising sou re. for currency, even if payable on demand. Mucl less ought it to be trusted when it puts its promise in so improper a shape as that of Post Notes." l'oltsville Einpurium. Danville Furnace.
