tersburg, but whether he ever reached
his destination or not, we do not recol-
leci, remained sometime in England,
81 returned home within few months
after his departure and received his
$4,000 OUTFIT, $4,000 in ht,and $4,000
for six months salary-makiDg ia all
$4,000.

at ST. Petersburg, returned home, and
received bis $4,000 outfit, $4,000 in
fit, and $4,000 half years salary-ma-

longer in England than in Russia, and
returned home--receiying his $4,000
OUTFIT, $4,000 ia.is, and $4,000, half

BEET SUGAR.
The Norfolk Beacon ventures the
prediction that, within twenty-five
years, the principal productions OF the
northern and middle states, will be
Silk and Sugar. To any one acquain
ted with the efforts, which have mark
ed the last few years, to Introduce the
culture OF Silk in New England, and
the extraordinary success which has
attended them, the prediction, so far as
this article is concerned, will appear
by no means visionary. With respect
to the other, let no southern planter
turn up his nose in contempt at the
suggestion, relying upon the impracti-
csbili,y of cuisvating the cane else
where than in its own genial cline. -
The Yankee will snap his fingers al
hia, and tell him he don't want The
cane, SO long as the BEET ROOT can be
grew in the North. We have, from
time TO time, read with wonder and
deep interest, the accounts which have
reached us from France, OF the success
| which has attended the improved
modes of extracting Sugar from The
Beet. Within few years the sugar
manufactures, ia that country, have
swelled from some 20 OF 80, to more
than 400, and every year is adding sc
the number. The Sugar is Of better
| quality, it is said, and is afforded at a
less price than the foreign.
