The objec.i of this AssJc:ation is to manufacture Sugar from
Beetroot* by a Patented Apparatus and Process imported from
France% e the! have been in full and successful operation in
the laxgest Beet-Root Sugar Establishment in that country.
The depressed state of the agricultural interest of the United
Kiugdom, the high price to which Sugar has risen, and is likely to
advance, and the incontrovertible fact of the extraoadinary success
which has attended the production of Sugar from Beet Root,
both in France and Germany, have led to the formation of this As-
sociation for carrying the same object into effect in Great Britain
and Ireland.

The advantages resulting to the agriculturist in particular, as well
as to the community in general, from this enterprize are very con-
Niderable, as it will necessarily appropriate to a new and lucrative
branch of agriculture a large quantity of the best land, the returns
for which will far exceed those now obtained.
It will be of the utmost importance to the farmer, in yielding a
much greater remuneration than is obtained by any crops now pro-
duced from his lands; it will also enable him to raise and fatten cat-
tle at much less expense than at present, as the residue of the Beet
Root, after the saccharine matter has been extracted, affords to ani-
mals a most nutricieus food, it being by the process deprived of its
natural acid; and it also supplies the richest known manure for
land.

These facts, have been proved in France, in the Beet Root Sugar
departments, by the experience of many years.
To the public it will prove a security against the further advance
in the -price of Sugar, which is to be apprehended from the exist-
ing circumstances of the Colonies. It may here be observed, from
proceedings in the British House of Parliament, that Sugars have
varied from 225. to 38s. per cwt., during the last year, being a va-
riation of 70 per cent. a very low average of which variation would
be 10s. advance per cwt. ; the public are therefore now actually
paying upwards of two millions a year for sugar more than they were
formerly paying.
During the last year the consumption of Sugar far exceeded the
importation, and greatly reduced the stock on hand. From the
present state of the Colonies no increased importation can be cal-
culated upon ; and therefore, there is reason to believe that the in-
creasing consumption will shortly exhaust the remaining stock.
This deficiency may be supplied by Sugar manufactured from Beet
Root, without iujury to the Colonial interest.
The results obtained by the Beet-Root Sugar manufacturers in
France and Germany are too well known to admit a doubt of the
success of this undertaking. It has been ascertained that the
lands of this country, and more particularly these of Ireland, are
better calculated for the production and growth of Beet Root
than those either of France or Germany ; and the art of cultiva-
tion in this country is pursued with much greater skill. As a
further guarantee of success, the Association commences its ope-
rations under the most favourable circumstances, together with
the most perfect apparatus and process which have ever yet been
tried, and which embrace all the improvements adopted in France,
where they have produced results that have never before been
approached.

It may be reasonably anticipated th the returns of profit will
far exceed any that have accrued from public enterprise which
has been for many years prosecuted b joint-stock co-operation.
The particulars of the calculations upon which this assertion is
founded may be inspected by the Shareholders, upon application to
the Secretary.

The Directirs have already made the necessary arrangements
for the supply of Beet Root, which was requisite from the ad-
vanced pariod of the season; and they have taken equal pre-
eautiOT, in providing suitable premises for the manufacture, em-
braciug every advantage of water carriage. The apparatus is
in a very forward state, and will be created in the course of a few
,ntbs.

Secretary, No. 14, George-street, Adelphi ; and also to the Soli-
citors, No. 30, George-street, Hanover-square, on or before the
Safi instant, immediately after which, shares will be allotted.

a Bill to effect the same purpose, and WI obliged to
relinquish it on account of the di,ssatisfactioh it gave,
not only to the Dissenters, but to almost all 016 frielnlS
of civil and religious liberty in the kiugtlonr. After
this, and the declaration lately mAcie ll j Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, that he thould consider the measures al-
ready proposed ;tip' the relief of the Dissenters, as very
inefkiont, unless relief were also afford•A them in the
matter of Church-rates, we cannet PH it moment
doubt that it is the intentitmt 'Of his MAJESTY'S Mi-
nisters to propest the entire abolition of this obnoxious
and del.,,,,taxVing tax. Sure we are that if thty are not
prepared to go this length -if thty have not made up
their minds altogether to 'root out " the unholy thing"
from the land.---they had much better not moot the
question at all this Session. For if they were to proceed
on any such trimming principle as that of robbing
PETER to pay,PAtit —ifthey should propose anything
short of the utterextinctiOn of the evil, they would lose a
great deal of the popularity which they have so justly ac-
quired, by the liberal and enlightened course of policy
which they have hitherto pursued. This, we think,
is too great a risk to run, for a matter of little mo-
ment, in a pecuniary point of view, though of the
first importance, when it is considered that the princi-
ple which excepts a man from punishment for his reli-
gious opinions is at stake.

We may also be permitted to remark that nothing (at
least within our knowledge) has occurred, since Lord'
ALTHoRP's measure was rejected, to make the Dissen-
ters particularly enamoured of Church-rates in
any form. The barbarous cruelty inflicted on
Mr. CIIILDS of Bungay, , for refusing to support
a form of religion of which he conscientiously
disapproved, and the persecution of Dr. HA MPDEN,
because he is favourable to the admission of Dis-
senters to the Universities, are incidents by no means
calculated to overcome the reluctance previously existing
in the Dissenting community, to contribute towards the
wants of an ecclesiastical system which they believe to
be unscriptural, and which they feel to be oppressive.

j There is a correspondent in the Morning Post,
signing himself " ZETA," who is but too much in the
habit of inflicting on that urbane journal a column or
upwards of most surpassing twaddle. Sometimes he
affects the facetious, " for gentle dullness ever loves a
joke ;" and when this is the case, we know of nothing
which his jests so closely resemble, as the airy and
elastic capers of " a tame elephant." More com-
monly, however, he strives to be serious, and then his
earnestness never fails to call forth the laughter, which,
his waggeries are unable to elicit. Fortunate scribe,
who possesses the rare art to be as droll in his serious-
ness, as he is serious in his drollery ! This morning
he strives to be specially earnest, and tide consequence
is, he is as irresistible as LISTON or LONDONDERRY.
He tells us, for instance, with a grave, mysterious
shake of the head, " I have an opinion that Ministers
, will hug the chains of O'CONNELL, and boldly de-
termine to reject the wise and prudent ame,rdments to
the Irish Municipal Bill, which have been proposed
by Lord LYNDHURST." " Wise and prudent !"
What a wag the fellow is He is correct how-
ever in his surmise. Ministers will reject the
amendments, " wise and prudent" though they may
be. ZETA goes on to say, "at an earlier period of
the discussion, Government may have contemplated a
different line of policy, but the aspect of affairs has
strangely and suddenly altered within the last fortnight.
Recent occurrences—a sudden attack of the gout—
and a sudden attack of something else—have rendered
Lord MELBOURNE anxious to retire into private life ;
and in all probability the third reading of the amended
Irish Municipal Bill, by a large majority, will be used
as a convenient pretext for his Lordship's retirement."
There are here nearly as many lies as sentences. In
the first place, Ministers never contemplated any other
line of policy than that which they are now following
up. Secondly, the aspect of affairs has not undergone
the slightest change during the last fortnight, Govern-
ment being just as determined at this moment to render
equal justice to Ireland, as they were fourteen
days ago. And thirdly, Lord MELBOURNE has
not the slightest intention of resigning 'the helm.
So much for Tory facts, which at best are but
synonimous with Tory fictions. As the witch
in the fairy tale never opened her mouth but to
let drop a viper, so your Conservative Journalist never
opens his mouth but to let drop a lie. .He lies preme-
ditatedly, and with malice aforethought. If he ever
speak the truth, it is by accident, and astonishes no
one so much as himself. We wonder he has not yet
thought of attributing yesterday's Eclipse to the evil
agency of O'CONNELL. This would be a charge in
exquisite keeping with the general character of his ca-
lumnies. As for the present Tory prattle about Lord
MELBOURNE'S retirement, it is a lie so utterly absurd,
as to be unworthy the trouble of refutation. No doubt
the Tories believe that he entertains a notion of retir-
ing ; but this is the very reason why all rational people
should disbelieve it. His Lordship is just as likely to
gliit office, as the Conservatives are to enter upon it.
He knows better what due to himself and the coun-
try, and will not be driven from his post by the scan-
dals of a Tory club or tea-table.

Letters and Papers from Madrid, to the Sth instant,
have been received. The factions in the Estamentos,
opposed to the Government,- have been using all their
influence to embarrass the Ministers, and, if possible,
effect a dissolution of the Cabinet. It appears, from
tl:ge reports of the debates in the Chamber of Procu-
radores, that, during the sitting of the 22d ultimo,
Senor BARONA, Deputy for Santander, commenting,
upon the statement of the Minister of Finance re-
specting, the supplies demanded for the use of the
army, observed, with caustic emphasis—" That, if
the Generals of the army were actuated by the true
spirit of Spaniards, they would seek supplies in the
camp of the rebels, instead of adding to the burdens
of the people." This spirited rebuke of CORDOVA,
called up Count ALMODOvAR, the Minister of War,
who defended the Generals and the army against the
implied charge of cowardice ; and concluded by say-
ing, that the officers principally interested, would de-
fend themselves as they deemed most befitting their
rank and character. No sooner was this discussion
made known w CORDOVA, than the Commander-in-
Chief addressed a" furious letter to the Madrid Jour-
nals, in which he not only defended himself, but at-
tacked those Deputies who concurred in censuring his
conduct as a General. ESpARTERo likewise ap-
pealed to the public in his own justification ;
hut, as he spoke modestly of himself, and at-
tributed no evil or unworthy motives to those
who called ,•his abilities as an officer in question,
his letter displeased no party. Not so CORDOVA'S
diatribe. The letters from the two Generals were
published in the Madrid journals of the 4th inst., and
in the sitting of the same day, Senor BARONA pre-
sented a petition to the Chamber, in which the letters
were denounced as a breach of privilege, and praying
that the Estamento would resolve itself into a secret
Committee, to inquire into the means of preserving in-
violate the dignity of its Members. The Committee
was appointed, and the discussion on the petition oc-
cupied the greater part of two several sittings. The
Ministers were hard pressed to defend themselves
against those who condemned the conduct of COR-
DOVA, and by implication, that of the Government in
retaining. him in the command. There was no mincing

of natters on the part Of "BARONA, arid thds2 whirl
agreed inopilk With hith.. 14e frankly that
In' his OPiilidn 63iirWiTA.- *at incompetent to Com--
tnand the army, and moreover, that were his abilities
as a general unquestionable, his fidelity was nikliWpos-
- above suspicion. We ate Sokty for this attack
upon Mini..?,teN 'e%Ncially as the ComMittce closed
lts labours without coming to any iesillt f.k6l la t et
to
endanger their-existence 'at a Cabinet. BA noNA,
at the solieitation of the Chamber, withdrew his peti-
tion; and mutual explanations and apologies between
himself and ALMODO VAR terminated an affair which
at first threatened to be followed by very unpleasant re-
sults. Had Senor BA RONA'§ prayer that CORDOVA
should be cited before the Chamber, there to be tried—
not for a breach of privilege only, but for incapacity as
a General—been carried by the secret Committee, there
would have been an immediate dissolution of the.
Cabinet. Our opinion of CORDOVA is so well known
that there is no occasion to repeat it. We
wero among the first to denounce his intrigues
with the French party ; and we shall only retract our
former statements respecting him, when he has suc-
ceeded in extirpating the seeds of the Carlist rebellion—
a feat for the performance of which Spain has his ho-
nour as a pledge. Wc learn that MEND IZA BA r, is now
more his friend than ever ; and that nothing will in-
duce him to listen to any thing against the Commander-
in-Chief.. The President of. the Council must have
reasons unknown to us for thus seeming to place such
great reliance in the good faith of Cordova ; especially
as he himself is privy to a sehenie by which the Com-
mander-in-Chief hoped to exchange the command of
the army, for the Presidency of the Spanish Council.
In the Chamber of Proceres, the opposition to the
Government has been marked by a spirit of all but
personal rancour. During the sitting of the 6th inst.,
the Peers, by a largo majority, voted a petition to the
QUEEN, praying the suspension of the Ministerial
decree for the sale of the national property, till after
the restoration of tranquillity. MENDIZABAL op-
posed the petition, and contended that the sale of the
property was necessary to maintain public credit, with-
out which the. civil war could not be terminated. When
the petition was carried against him he took care to inform
the Peers
,that they had wasted their time to little
purpose, as the vote of confidence which they had
'passed empowered the Government to sell the pro-
perty—and that in pursuance of that vote, and of the
decree of the 19th of February, the property would be
sold. This was certainly assuming a bold position,
and we trust that the President of the Council will be
able to maintain it, in spite of the
~intrigues which his
enemies are carrying on against him. In the Chamber
of Proceres he has to contend with fearful odds, if we
may judge from the division upon this petition. When
the scrutiny had taken place, it was found that only
fifteen votes were given for the Government proposition,
while forty-five were given against it.
The Spanish Proceres are at once the proudest and
the most ignorant body of Legislators in existence.
With minds filled with prejudices, and entertaining
the most ridiculous notions of their own importance,
they are totally disqualified for performing the func-
tions which constitutionally devolve upon them—espe-
cially during a period of great political excitement.
A Minister who would save Spain, must first deliver
her from the direct influence of the pernicious coun-
cils of this body, by acting independently of its remon-
strances whenever its voice is found to be at variance
with the voice of the people and their deputies. We
refer only to what may take place before the termina-
tion of the civil war.

The Paris papers of Friday and Saturday, received
this morning, announce the remittance of six millions
of francs from the Spanish Government to Bilboa, to
defray the expenses of the troops. This appearance
of full coffers in Spain was not overlooked by the fre-
quenters of the Bourse, with whom Spanish stock was
previously not the most desirable of securities, in con-
sequence of the vote adopted by the Chamber of Pro-
ceres on the 6th inst., in favour of a petition praying
the Regent not to sanction the sale of the public pro-
perty before the close of the civil war. There was
also a report in circulation on Saturday, which stated
that a battle was fought on the 9th inst. near Aretas,
in which the Carlists suffered severely, having lost
1,000 men, of whom 400 were made prisoners. The
Christinos were commanded by CORDOVA, who was
present during the engagement. Such is the re-
port, but we fairly admit that we attach no credit to it.
The next arrivals will show if our incredulity be well
founded.

The Chamber of Deputies sat on Friday and Sa-
turday, when the report of the Committee appointed
to inquire into the way in which the 100,000,000
francs, voted in 1833, for finishing the great works lie-
gun by NAPOLEON, had been expended; and also
whether an extraordinary credit of 4,980,000 francs
demanded by the Government, for completing the
works yet 'in an unfinished state, should be placed at
the disposal of Ministers. M. DUGABE condemned
the extravagance of M. THIERS, whom he accused
of paying no regard whatever to the votes of the Cham-
ber, so far as concerned the devoting of specific sums
to specific purposes. This was denied by the -Presi-
dent of the Council, whose speech, however, was not
concluded when the mails of Saturday left Paris for
London.

Upon this .question we think the attempt now
making to upset the French Cabinet exceedingly fri-
volous. It is absurd to suppose that M. TIIIERS
could be guided by the votes of the Chamber in the
completion of certain public works, when the Cham-
ber itself knows that the real object of the Minister
was to find employment for thousands of disaffected
workmen, ready to plunge the country into the abyss of
Another revolution. It is unfair to keep the real mo-
tive ought of sight, and thus turn round upon the
Minister when the dangers which he foresaw, foretold,
and all but entirely prevented, are passed away.
The latest accounts from Bayonne are to the 10th
inst. General EVANS had not been able to occupy
Ernani, and the Carlists under EGurA were advancing
',d defend it with a large supply of cannon and military

stores.
The Dukes of ORLEANS and NENIOURS arrived at
, Berlin on the 11th inst.
PARIS, MAY 3.—A pamphlet was to-day distributed among
the Deputies, treating on the Political and Commercial situa-
tion of the French Establishment in Africa, The author,
during four years' residence at Algiers, profoundly studied
the facts which have successively ialuenced the state of the
country. •

Despatches, which arrived at the department of Foreign
Affairs yesterday morning from Vienna, gave occasion to a
conference between the President of the Council, Count
d'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador, and Baron Werther, the
Prussian Ambassador. Both their Excellencies went to the
Palace, where they had an audience of his Majesty,
Baron Mortice, our Ambassador at the Hague, seems to be
destined to be very successful in his negociations. At one of his
first conferences with M. Verstolk de Soelen, he was going to
speak to him of the Dutch and Belgian question. The Mi-
nister interrupted him, saying, " Do not speak of that ques-
tion ; I know that you have not received any instructions from
your Government on that point ; but, if you please, let us
talk of tariffs, of customs, and of commerce." And Baron
Mortier, who in fact had no instructions from the Cabinet of
the Tuileries respecting the affairs of Belgium, talked or
tariffs and commerce with Baron Verstolk.
Some days afterwards he had an audience of King 'William,
and attempted to put in a few words about Belgium, Limburg,
and Holland. The King did as his Minister had done. " You
are paying great attention in France," said he, " to iron rail-
roads and manufactories ;" and a long conversation took place
on manufactories and iron railroads. This is all that the diplo,
