THE object of this Association isfo Manufacture Sugar
from Beet Root, by a Patented Apparatus and Process
imported from France, where they have been in full and success-
ful operation in the largest Beet Root Sugar Establishment in
that Country,
The depressed state of the Agricultural Interest of the United
Kingdom, the high price to which Sugar has risen, and is likely
to advance, and the incontrovertible fact of the extraordinary
success which has attended the proobl!ction of Sugar from Beet
Hoot, both in France and Germany,4llave led to the formation
of this Association for carrying the same object into effect in
GI eat Britain and Ireland.

The advantages resulting to the Agriculturist in particular,
as well as to the Community in general, from this enterprise,
are very considerable; 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 ob-
tained.

It will be of the utmost importance to the farmer, in yielding
a much greater remuneration than is obtained by any crops
now produced from his lands; it will also enable hint to raise
and fatten cattle at a much less expense than at present, as the
residue of the Beet Root, after the sacharine matter has been
extracted, affords to animals a most nutritious 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 ad-
vance in the price of Sugar, which is to be apprehended from
the existing circumstances of the Colonies. It may here be ob-
served from proceedings in the British House of Parliament,
that Sugars have varied from 225. to 38s. per cwt. during the
last year, being a variation of 70 per cent., a very low averar
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. Prom
the present state of the Colonies, no increased importation can
be calculated upon ; and therefore there is reason to believe
that the increasing consumption will shortly exhaust the re-
maining stock. This deficiency may be supplied by Sugar
manufactured from Beet Root, without injury to the Colonial
interest.

The results obtained by the Beet Root Sugar Manufactures
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 those of Ireland,
are better calculated (r the production and growth of Beet
Root than those either of France or Germany, and the art of
cultivation in this country is pursued with much greater skill.
As-a further guarantee of success, the Association commences
its operations under the most favourable circumstances, toge-
ther with the most perfect apparatus and process which have
ever vet been tried, and which embrace ail the improvements
adopted in France, where they have produced results which have
never before been approached.
It may be reasonably anticipated that the returns of profit
will far exceed any that have accrued from any Public Enter-
prise which has been for many years prosecuted by a Joint
Stock Co-operation. The particulars of the Calculations upon
which this assertion is founded, may be inspected by the Share-
holders, upon application to the Secretary.
The Directors have already made the necessary arrange-
ments for the supply of Beet Root, which was requisite from
the advanced period of the season; and they have taken equal
precaution in providing suitable premises for the manufactory,
embracing every advantage of water carriage. The Apparatus
is in a very forward state, and will be erected in the course of
a few months.
