INDIGENOUS SuGAR.-The last No. of
the North American Review contains an
admirable article on the present state OF
the art of making Sugar from the beet from
which it appears that with the exception of
Great Britain, who has the interests of her
revenue to protect by means of prohibition
duties almost every country in Europe is fast
making itself independent of the colonies
and the topics for an article at once the most
agreeable of the necessaiies, the most uni
versal Of the comforts, and the most innocent
ofthe luxuries of life. Our attention has
been drawn to this subject by notice in
our advertising columns, under the auction
head Of the Mesers. PELL., announcing the
sale, for the 10Th of May next, of a COM
pete Sugar Making Apparatus, constructed,
as we perceive, by Messrs. Martin g. CHAIR
ponnos, the distinguished machnists, of
Arras whose establishment situated, in the
Sugar district o f France, where, in conse-
quence of the introduction of this new and
important staple, the rent of land, and of
course its value, has risen to degree which
almost exceeds belief.

WoNDERrUL FIDELITY.--M. Humphrey
Roberts, butcher, of Tlederwen Montgo-

Ford, near his residence, and the river being
vastly swollen, he fell flom his horse,
(when the animal plunged) and was drown
ed. His dog had accompanied him all the
day, and it appears had seen the accident,
for he followed the body as it sank, and sci
zing the collar of the coat in his teeth had
with great labor brought the body to the
side of the stream, and raising the head
above the water, held it firmly there during
the whole of the inclement night; and,
when discovered in the morning, the faithful
animal was half immersed in the water.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CANAL.-We fine
that the failure of the Senate 10 act on the
bill passed by the Assembly, appropriating
a million and half to the enlargement o.
the canal, has led some to suppose that the
work must necessarily be arrested until the
meeting ofihe next Legislature. This is Q
mistake. There is yet remaining large
unexpended balance of last years appropei
alton, amounting we believe 70 something
like three millions, and in addition to that is
aportion of the accrulng revenue for thi,
year. So the work need not stop tor want
of funds.--Buf. Fat.
