NEW Process IN THE MANUFACTURE or SUGAR.
The following, from late number of the Mark
Lane Express may have interest for some Of our
Louisiana friends. Let us, by the way, inquire
why tbs that meet with so little encourage
ment in that quarter' Is it that we have demon
strated that now they give five bales of cotton in
exchange for one, whereas they ought to give but
three, II they would force the loom to come TO the
cotton instead of sending their cotton to the loom
at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Loom, and .7nrii.
"SuoAR.-Several samples Of sugar of very
superior quality, respects granular texture and
brightness Of color, have recently attracted con-
siderable attention in the Bristol sugar market,
which has led to much inquiry as to the process
of manufacture among the merchants and pro-
prietors of West Iudia estates. II appears from
inquiries we have made, that, by combination of
several patents-among others, the cleansing and
drying ofsugar by centrifugal force-sugar which
formerly took three or four weeks TO refine is now
done in as many minutes. Sugars heretofore un-
saleable in the English market are, by the new
process, converted, as if by magic, into an article
realizing 3Os. 90 GAY per cwt. The machine by
which the process is carried on is very cheap,
probable, and easily worked, and the raw produce
shipped in state which prevents the waste OF
some twelve to fifteen per cent. in the shape Of
leakage from molasses Next to the discovery
of the vacuum pan, the improvement Of Messrs.
Fingal and Son, Of Bristol, ranks first in the scale
Of importanc and they have happily succeeded in
combining the interests of various patents held by
Messrs. Seyrig, Hardman, Rotch, and others. "
