TENHE inventors and propretors, after long time
Il spent in perfectng and simplifying their in
vention, and having now received United Stated
Letters Patent on the same, prepared to offer
for sale the exclusive Right of Territory for States,
Counties, and Cities; Machines, with the right to
use. This Is entirely an original inyeRtion, nc.
thing at all smih- having ever before been offered
to the public; the right OF the invention is therefore
uncontesed. Our Machine, by the use of two nee
dies, supplied with thread from spoos, forms a
netc stitch, which will not open ravelin fact, a
fast stitch. 1t is adapted to the sewing all kinds
of fabrics, also leather, in straight circular,

great speed, and requires but little power. By
means of the feed carriage, which is compact and
convenient the stitch may be regulated TO any
length. The needle strikes pcrpendicp.ariy upon

BEET SUGAR IN IRELAND.-The editor of the
New York Tribune in recent letter from Ireland,
states that company with capital of million
and half sterling, has been formed TO prosecute
extensively in that country the manufacture oi
beet sugar, and that this can hardly be deemed an
experiment. He goes on to say:
"That the sugar beet grows luxuriously here
can personally bear witnese; indeed doubt whe-
ther there is soil climate better adapted to it in
the world That the beet grown in Ireland yields
very large proportion of sugar is attested by able
chemists; that the manufacture OF beet sugar is
profitable its firm establishment and rapid extcn-
sion in France. Belgium, &c, abundantly prove.
The Irish company have secured the exclusive use
Of two recently patented inventions, whereby
they claim to be able to produce third more
sugar than has hitherto been obtained, and of a
quality absolutely undistinguishable from the best
cane sugar. They say they can make il at profit
of fully twenty five per cent. after paying excise
of t. 10 per ton to the government, working their
mills all the year, drying their roots for in
months when they cannot otherwise be fit for
manufacture MIR. VIM. X Sullivan, chemist to
the of Irish Industry, states that the beet
sugar manufactured in France has increased from
81 900 tons in lS40 to more than l00 600 tons in
1850, in defiance of large increase in the excise
levied thereon; that the average production of
gar beet is in Ireland Is tons per acre. against less
than J. tons in France and Germany; that each
acre of beets will yield a tons (green) of tops OF
leaves, worth 7s. Cd. per ton for feeding cattle,
making the clear profit ON the cultivation OF the
beet, at los per ton, over f5 per acrc that there
ia shadow Of difference between the sugar of the
beet and that of the cane, all the difference popular
ly supposed to exist being covered by the existence
of foreign substances in both that Irish root.
generally ,and the beet especially contain consider
ably more sugar than those grown on the continent
and that beet sugar may be made In Ireland with

climate of Ireland arc at least equal to, and th,
labor decidedly cheaper than that employed in tn,
same pursuit on the continent, while Ireland her
self, wretched she is, consumes over two thou
sand tons of sugar per annum, and Great Britain
some twenty five thousand tons every pound o
it imported can perceive no reasonable basis fol
doubt that the beet culture and sugar manufac
ture will speedily be naturalized in Ireland, anC
that they will give employment and better wages
at all seasons to many thousands of her sons"
