WILLIAM TELL OuTDoNE-Several OF the
feats of the skill and daring OF the Chinese, are,
to the unnitiated, truly astonishing, for instance;
Two men from Nankin, appear in the streets Of
Canton one places his back against stone
wall or wooden fence, the upper part Of his per-
son being divested Of clothing. His associate,
armed with large knife, retires to a distance
say from one hundred to two hundred feet At
given signal the knife is thrown with an un-
erring aim, in the direction Of the person oppo-
site to within hairs breadth Of his neck, i'm
mediately below his ear. With such certain
ty OF success is the blow aimed, and so great is
the confidence reposed by the one in the skill
Of the other, that not the slightest uneasiness
is discernable in the features of him whose life
is the forfeit of the slightest deviation on the
part of the practitioner. Th is feat is again re-
peated, and with similar success, only varying
the direction Of the knife to the opposite side
otthe neck of the exposed person, or to any o.
thei point Of proximity to the living target, as
the spectator may desire.

Judge Lewis.

"The Governor has nominated the Hon. Ellis
Lewis as the successor of Judge Champneys
Rather strange this, when an impeachment is
openly talked of, for Judge Lewis conduct, in
his present district. Is the nomination in part
payment for his exertions in the lumber bust.
ness OF lS40!"
The above elegant extract is taken from tie Ma
tionai Forum, a rabid whg paper published in
Philadelphia. Wha, the motives oflhe editor could
have been, in making such charge, it is hard to
say. We are aware that some editors casionally
find it convenient to manufacture their own news,
hut editor who aspres to the character Of gen.
teman, should have some little regard for truth,
when he attempts to assa the character of fellow
citizen. "The impeachment of Judge Lewis open.
ly talked of in his own d strict!" This is news,
indeed! We venture to say, tina, there is no,
man in the district, who heard word brealhcd
upon the subject, until enlightened Ivy the Forum.
To show the utter fnlsi,y Of the charge, and the
standing of Judge Lewis in this district, we neel
only relate the following circumstances, in relation
TO his recen, nomination:
Ga Friday, the 9th inst, during the session of the
court, Judge Lewis read letter from the clerk of
the Senate, stating that he had been nominated by
the Governor, as Prcsdcn, Judge Of the Lancaster
District, which appointment be had concluded TO
accept and that he must therefore take leave of his
friends in this district This announcement was as
sudden as unexpected. After the surprise, which
at the time it had occosioned, Samuel Hepburn,
Esq., who occ upes high position in this district
a gentleman and lawyer, arose in behalf of the
Bar, and without any previous preparation, adde's
sed the Judge, in an eloquent speech, which was
listened to with deep interest and attention, and
which did infinite honor to the head and heart OF
the talented speaker
In the evening, the members of the Bar, joined
by number of citizens of this place. gave the Judge
an elegant supper, at Whurtcn's Hotel We have
neither room or time to record all that took place,
hut should be doing injustice to Judge Lewis, to
omit the following toast Of Mr.. Bellas one Of the
senior members of the Bar of this district:
The Honorable Ellis LeUis.-May his judi
cial career in the district TO which he has been
recently appointed, be as pleasant and as agree
able TO himself, as his administration here has
been satisfactory TO the Bar, and advantageous
TO the community.
To this toast Judge Lewis responded in short
speech, in which he warmly expressed his gratitude
for the many manifestations Of kindness and respect
which had been extended towards him 10y the mem,
hers of the Bar of this district and citizens gener al
ly, and his regret in leaving known and well tried
friends, to 60 among strangers.

Louisiana i, appears, made ss,000000 lbs, or
seven-tcn,hs of all the sugar made in the Union,
while all the Other States made but So 600 900 lbs.
The manufacture Of sugar from the maple and beet
root increasing in the northern, middle and western
States; and should the production of corn stalk su-
gar succeed, we learn it promises to do, the i'm.
portaton Of foreign sugar will rapidly diminish, and
probably in ten years or less, the United States will
make all the sugar they consume, and have some to
export. We estimate the crop of Louisiana for ls42
to be equal in amount to that Of the whole United
States fn ls4l, while probably $4,000 900 lbs. will
he made in other States.

Postage Reform.

We have high qualification in stating that the
consultations at Washington, between the Post-
master General and the Postmas,ers of the pinci-
pal cities has resulted in the following conclusions
!. The Rates Of Letter Postage are to he greatly
reduced. Ten cents is to be the highest rate char.
ged for conveying a letter from any point TO any
poin, within the United States. We believe the
only minor rate is to be fire cents for distances
shor, of 200 $50 miles, but this point our in
formation is no, definite.
.. The Frankng Privilege is TO be greatly redu-
ced. Posimisers may frank letters strictly conf
ned to the business Of their respective offices, and
none others while the letters sent without pay
ment by and TO the Executive Departments Mem
hers of Congress &C., to be charged to the Co.
vernment.
We have not doubt that these Reforms will be
readily concurred in by Congress, and that they
will prove highly acceptable and beneficent to the
people. The Revenue may Temporarily fall of in
consequence, but il cannot fail to recover The
present rates Of postage are e1orbltant, and are e.
vaded in every way, beside the restriction of the
number of letters written. The fact that the charge
for conveying a iet,e, from Troy to New York is
higher than tina, at which barrel Of fur is often
transported over the same route would seem to be
conclusive.-N Y. Tribune.
