THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 19, 1851. tf fto C..• 41 - 4 • • s 0/7 = 4 • atilt LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1851. The second portion of the Naval Estimates, that relating to the dock-yard expenditure, will be brought under the consideration of the House of Commons on the Ist of May next. There is, therefore, ample time for Honourable Gentlemen to make themselves sufficiently acquainted with the subject, so as to be enabled to arrive at tolerably correct conclusions on the various questions that may come before them, and to justify the votes they may finally be induced to give. We have already noticed with regret the culpable apathy exhibited by too many of the chosen representatives of the people on all points relating to the estimates—that is to say, the sums that will probably be required for the due support of the various branches of the public service during the ensuing year. The most important of these estimates, those in which the greatest savings may be ef fected without, in any degree, impairing the effi ciency of the department, is in the materiel of the navy, or in other words, the dockyard ex penditure, for which the sums, amounting, in the aggregate, to no less than 2,011,3071., are demanded. Before an expenditure so enor mous can receive the sanction of the defenders of the public purse, it must be shown to be absolutely required by the exigencies of the case, and that it is dispensed with a prudent and judicious economy ; so that the nation may receive a full equivalent for its outlay. It is, however, unfortunately but too note,. rious that the grossest jobbing is practised in these establishments ; that vessels are constructed at a vast expense, which remain rotting in the water without ever being put into commission, or rendered in any degree serviceable, until, with occasional de mands for repairs, they rot away and become utterly valueless. Now, as Sir CHARLES NAPIER justly re marks, " continuing the system of building ships to rot is throwing away money." We will also add, that dismantling and paying off vessels which are in porfect order and condition, condemning and turning them over to the dockyards to be over hauled, or, in other words, to be pulled to pieces, when they might be continued in active employment for years without any important alteration or repair, is also "throwing away money" in the most ridiculous and absurd way. If it were necessary to keep the artificers (which we positively deny), it would be more judicious to let them remain perfectly idle, for while they keep up the appearance of working, putting together and taking asunder— adding to, or cutting down vessels, for the sake of appearing to be occupied, we are required not only to pay their wages, but also to provide a large and expensive supply of stores and materials for their ex periments. Every artificer discharged from the dock yards will lead to a considerable saving in stores and other materials that are now consumed without the slightest practical utility. On this point we would direct the attention of Honourable Gentlemen to the admirable letters of Sir CHARLES NAPIER to that effect, which appeared in our impression of yesterday, as well as those to which we gave insertion in the beginning of October and on the 14th of March last. We deeply regret that the Gallant Admiral has not a seat in the House, to put forward personally his views on matters for which he is pre-eminently qualified to form sound opinions. But, as no constituency is so fortunate as to have him as its representative, it is incumbent on others to ascertain and to give expression to these views, by which, as he judiciously remarks, the House of Commons may be enabled " to refuse the house-tax," the necessary supply being provided for out of the savings of the dockyard. At present we have no less than 63 line-of-battle ships, from 70 t 0,120 guns each, besides four steam screw ships of 68 guns each, making in all 67 liners, ready for immediate employment. besides fourteen or fifteen of different sizes, some fit for repair, and others not. Where then should we look for, and how long would it take us to find ex perienced and efficient crews for these vessels already at our disposal ? We cannot again resort to the in famous system of kidnapping that was so long sanctioned under the tyrant's plea of necessity, but the real cause of which was, that we did not choose to hold out sufficient inducements to those gallant men to flock voluntarily to our standard, and made our own paltry and cbecsepuring parsimony, in a !natter wherein generosity should have been exhibited, the pretext for acts of robbery and invasions of the liberty of the subject, utterly inconsistent with our much- vaunted justice and the freedom of our insti tutions. We cannot now attempt to man our fleet by im pressment, and unless a very different system from that at present in operation be introduced, we shall not get volunteers sufficient for half our vessel.. 'Wh y , then, should we complete the 21 liners, from 80 to 120 guns each, now on the stocks ? We are, per haps, not as yet sufficiently powerful in the steam department. The three screw-steamers may, therefore, be finished, but let us take the advice of the hero of Acre, and permit the other eighteen ships on the stocks " to remain as they are to season," and withdraw the men employed on them. By this means a very considerable saving may be effected (fully equivalent to the amount of the contemplated house-tax) without the slightest injury to the most important branch of the national service. We hope that every Reformer who has a seat in the House prove himself faithful to his former professions, and worthy of the confidence of his con • stituency, by attending in his place on Thursday, the Ist of May, and strictly scrutinizing every esti mate that may be brought:for ward. It has long been a subject of regret with every well wisher to Ireland that, with the exception of the linen establishments in the province of Ulster, she has no manufactures. Could Ireland, it is said, become a manufacturing country there would soon be abundant employment for the whole of her labouring popula tion, who would then cease to be redundant, and who would be enabled to earn, on their own native soil, that subsistence, to obtain which they are now com pelled to toil hard in the towns and cities of England, or to clear the forests of the North American conti nent. But there are great difficulties in the way of establishing pny of the textile manufactures in Ireland ; the capital which would be required to esta blish a cotton factory; for instance, would be enor mous, and the difficulties in the way of opening up a new market for the sale of the manufactured article almost insuperable ; but if it were possible to establish in Ireland extensive manufactories of an article of rs r a l l y consumption, the ra w ma t er i a l f or the pro ducingucelia which was the pr o d uc t o f h er own so il , an d so peculiarly adapted to that soil, as, by its supe riority over the similar products of other countries, to give Ireland a practical monopoly of the supply of the manufactured article, then should we see Ireland become prosperous, and, as a natural consequence, peaceful and industrious ; then should we find the agriculture, manufactures, and commerce of Ireland not antagonistic to, but aiding and assisting each other, as the prosperity of one must inevitably and directly, in such a case, involve the prosperity of all. We entertain a sanguine hope and expectation that such a process of manufacture as we have described has been discovered, and we think that the future in dustrial prosperity of Ireland will, date from the day on which the first manufactory of beet-root sugar, according to the plan proposed by Mr. CROSSLEY, shall be established in the sister island. The manu facture of beet-root sugar is a subject of much im portance, to which too little attention has been paid in this country. We have been told by those inte rested in the manufacture of cane sugar that beet.rot,t sugar could not be produced at a rate which would enable it to compete with cane sugar without investigati on a high protecting duty, and this assertion has been taken for gran t e d w ith o ut ;etbwuetenwchen inquiries are made a s t o the competiti on b France beet -root augerane sugar and beet - root sugar in Franc e , th e contrary is found to be the fact. In hag no protection ; for many years past th e duty imposed on beet-root sugar, the production of France, d aa " cane sugar from the West Indies, has been precisely the same, and yet year by year the production of beet -root sugar in France has been rapidly progressing. Now, the soil of Ireland is much better suited to the production of beet-root than is the soil of any other European country. We are told, on high authority, that the average produce of a statute acre of land of the white Silesian beet is in The northern departments of France 19 tons. French Flanders ... 16 „ Belgium ..• ..• ••• 18 „ Germany ••• ••• ••• •.. l 6 England 22 „ Ireland •.• ••• ••• •• • 30 ,g The usual prices paid for roots.by the manufacturers per ton is— In France ... ... 12/. In Germany ... ... 16/. to 181. In Ireland, from to/. to 121. But not only is the yield of beet-root con siderably more per acre in Ireland than in any other country, but its quality is greatly superior. Pro fessor SULLIVAN, in a communication to the Royal Dublin Society, on the 27th December, 1850, states, as the result of his analyses, that not beet-root only, but that all bulbous roots generally grown in Ire land, yielded nearly 25 per cent. more saccharine matter than similar roots grown in Belgium or France. It is clear, therefore, that so far as the manufacture of beet•root sugar is concerned, no country on the European continent can possibly com pete with Ireland ; but it would appear that the beet-root of Ireland possesses nearly equal advan tages over the sugar cane of the West Indies, as is shown in the following statement : " A statute acre of land in the West India colonies planted with sugar cane, yields upon an average of raw sugar 2O owt. In Ireland, a statute acre would produce 30 tons of roots. 15 tons being required by the ordinary process to produce 1 ton of sugar, the produce of sugar per acre would be Again,— " 1001bs. of sugar canes yield of sugar from sto 71bs. 1001bs. of Silesian beet, by the ordinary mt-thod Or when refined 5 to silbs. 1001bs. of beet-roots, dried and operated upon by the improved methods, which extract the whole saccharine 8 to 10Ibs. Or when refined " Thus showing that about the same quantity of refined sugar is produced from beet-roots us from an equal weight of sugar canes I" A great objection to_the introduction of a manufac ture, such as that of sugar, which has hitherto been confined to " crop time," is, that it does not afford'con tinuous labour to the inhabitants of a district, but overworks those engaged in its manufacture during one portion of the year, leaving them absolutely destitute of employment during the remainder; this objection is entirely obviated by the invention which Mr. CROSSLEY has patented . for the use of cut and dried roots, which can be preserved for any length of time, and thus enable the manufacturer to carry on his manufacture during the entire year. We consider that the introduction of this improved process for manufacturing beet-root sugar into Ireland will give an impetus to: the agriculture of the country such as it has never yet received, whilst, at the same time, by providing abundant employment, it will tend to raise the rate of wages, and thus to give to the labouring classes a greater command over the comforts . of life. For the sake of all classes of our Irish fellow-subjects we would desire that this manufac ture should be introduced into Ireland with the least possible delay. THE FRENCH 'REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Assemblie Nationale publishes the manifesto of the Fusionist party, and it is certainly one of the coolest productions, as regards the PRESIDENT of the Republic, that has yet issued from the press. It is a clear and distinct declaration on the part of MM. GUIZOT, DUCHATEL, and their coadjutors, that they consider M. Louis BONAPARTE solely as the planche Napoleoienne, over which the Bourbon pretender is to cross in safety to the throne, this said planche to be kicked away the instant it has served the purpose. The Aseemblee Nationale says— " All our policy is to make the country comprehend and accept the re-establishment of that Monarchy as its true and only means of safety. We say it openly, and those who repeat it will render us a service. What would be the result of it with regard to Prince Louis Napoleon ? Shall we at present take Fart for the pro longation of his powers? Certainly not. We ardently wish, and we regard it more desirable for the present welfare of France that he should definitively quit in 1852 the deplorable and precarious condition into which he was thrown by 1848. But if in 1852 he does not de finitively leave it, if the vital question of his destinies cannot then receive its true solution, we think that France will do well not to overthrow at all risks the tent 1 under which she now shelters herself. Let there be no engagement, and no premature and absolute exclusion ; that is all that can 134 e and ought to be said at this mo ment on the subject." Certainly, never since Louis NAPOLEON BONA PARTE was elected President of the Republic, on the 10th December, 1848, has there been published in any journal an article so insulting to him, or so cal culated to bring him into contempt, as this article of the Assemblee National. The journals all contain the following announce ment : " The Charivari of yesterday was seized at the post office, and at the office of the journal, by order of the Procureur of the Republic, for a lithographic print, under the head of Actualit6s, le prix de l'adresse aux Champs Elysees, in which the President of the Republic is represented as encouraging the candidates for posts in the Ministry to discharge targets at a figure representing the Constitution, and promising a portfolio to the per son who should succeed in striking it most effectually. A prosecution has been commenced against the pub lisher of the journal and the author of the print, on a charge of libel upon the President of the Republic." We find the following in the Liberia of the Pas de-Calais : " Much attention is attracted by a very energetic cir cular which M. Isim Faucher is said to have addressed to all the prefects, directing their attention towards the proceedings of the Socialists, and urging them to use their utmost efforts to arrest the progress of their propa gandism. We understand that the Government is about to present two Bills of great importance. One is rela tive to domicile in Paris, and will place at the disposal of the Government persons of suspicious characters, whom the Prefect of Police may, at his will, remove from the capital according to the abrogated law of 1810. It is stated that this law will be to remove from the capital 25,000 individuals of the most dangerous character in times of revolution. The other Bill is relative to the publications of French political exiles residing abroad. These publications will be interdicted in France." The Putrie publishes the following communicated note from the Prefect of Police:— . " Several journals have quoted from the Inde dorisgsaonlivzeadtioni o i f Bs t o h e by S o c i i e h t e y of Gn v t e h r e n ni D e ix pendance of Bruss e ls some d eta il s as to the re n Dnt, akem reor ganizationbre at the head of whi c h i s placed a , person of the name of d'Olincourt. As soon as the Prefect of Police was made acquainted with the circumstances pointed out, he hastened to make them known to the Procureur of the Republic, begging him to obtain infor mation on the affair. The Prefect of Police is moreover authorised to disavow the said M. d'Olincourt, and to de clare that he has no relation either direct or indirect with the Government or with the Elykee, and that he acts without mission and without any authorisation." The Messager publishes the foll ow i ng l etter, ad dressed to your number General berof th P . iIA4Toi instant you ann ounce , :— In on the authority of the lndependance of Brussels, the organization of a society founded by an old member of the Society of the Dix Decembre, and you head your article with the title of Besurrection du Dix Dicembre.

Madrid journals of the 13th have arrived. The Orden, which is a semi-official organ, in no ticing some rumours in the Opposition journals of disaccord in the Ministry, declares that they are without foundation. The Espana states that the Government has refused permission to Marshal NARVAEZ to visit bis mother, and that her illness is not of a dangerous character. The preliminary meetin g of electors of the Pro gressista party a t Madrid was numerously attended, and it was resolved that the party should bring for ward candidates.

The Upper Chamber of Prussia has rejected the Iktinibterial Responhibilities Bill by 72 to 59. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has been confined to his room by illness, but was better on the 13th. GREECE. Intelligence has been received from Athens of the Bth. We perceive by the Athens journals that the statement of the dissolution of the Greek Cham ber of Deputies, received via Trieste, was un founded. The Courrier d'Athenes of the Bth contains a report of the sitting of the 4th, in which questions were put to the Minis try on the subject of the depredations and atrocities committed by bands of armed brigands in different parts of the territory. The Minister of Finances ad mitted that the evil complained of had become very serious, but declared that the Government had adopted measures of repression, the success of which could not be considered doubtful. The Courrier publishes seve ral accounts of the proceedings of these brigands, all of which show the absence of proper means of protection for life and property. One hand had arrived at Tatoi, within a few miles of the capital, and put to flight a detachment of gendarmes after killing one of them. At Vranesi a band of thirty brigands, after commit ting other atrocities, poured boiling oil on the breasts of three females, and then sacked the village, carry ing off their booty without meeting with any resist ance. TURKEY. Constantinople journals of the 4th have been re ceived. A meeting of the Turkish Ministers bird been held at the Mint to take into consideration the present state of the Bank, and the question of the exchanges. A number of bankers and merchants were invited to attend. The principal subject of discussion was whether the establishment should be kept up, when it was ultimately decided that it should be maintained, but that means should be devised to ameliorate the prisent condition of the Bank, and diminish its loskfts and expenses. Sir Stratford Canning had gi ven a grand dinner to the following personages, who were about to proceed to London to attend the Exhibition :—Gelaledin Pacha ; Mustafa Pacha, vice admiral; M. Mussurus, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary in England ; M. Aleco Vogorides, councillor of his mission; Sali Bey, cap tain of the steam-frigate which is to convey the articles destined for the Exhibition ; the Mufetich of Tidjaret ; Raouf Pacha, son of Rifaat Pilch ; Sali Effendi; Captains Slade and Baxter, of the English navy, now in the service of the port ; Mr. Redhouse, member of the office for Translations of the Porte; and M. Charles Lafontaine, a merchant. At the dessert Sir Stratford proposed the health of the Sultan, and M. Mussurus that of the Queen of Eng- land. In the evening there was a brilliant and numerously attended soiree. LLOYD'S SHIPPLN G.—( THIS DAY.) LONDON, APRIL 19.—Wind at noon S.E., light brecz fine and clear dry weather. CLYDE.—Arrd.
