Ponua6el's B- Sulphite Of Lime.-It gives us plea
sure to refer all interested to the advertisement in
another column of Mr.. BoEnabePs very extensive
and complete establishment for the manufacture OF
the Bi-Sulphite of Lime, and in so doing we avail
ourselves of the notice given by our contemporary
OF the True Delta, which is wIltten with thorough
understanding of the SUBJECT That Journal says.
and we endorse its language:
"Ne e understand Improvements Of the most val
ua bic character have been introduced in the MANU-
tacture, and that from comparatively low stand
ard of strength ely ht per cent, it is now
uniformly ten and upwards.
"Skepticsm long held out against the use and u
tiity of the BSulrhlte; can ii surprise any
that this was so, seeing how many agents. chemi-
cal and others, have been introduced III the last
twenty years, to improve the quality of Louisiana
sugars, SO as to enable it to compete successfully
with the foreign article, and to cuuEteract some Of
the disadvantages it has TO contend against from
peculiarltes of climate and hasty preparation for
market
'sThe Bi-Sulphte we are assured, has answered
expectations in almost every instance where no
extravagant or unreasonable hopes have been ins-
pred or indulged and hsps, the very best proof
Of the good results following its use, is furnished
by those intelligent planters who, having used it
when its effects and nature were but mperfectiy
understood, still continue to employ and recon-
mend it as agent OF great value and worthy Of
the most extended application. OF course, much
will depend on the purity of the article and the f.
delity with which its manufacture is conducted
and it is tor this reason, observing in advertising
columns tue notice OF an old and well established
manufacture, that We deem it our duty to refer to
it with so much crcumStantiality. Other estab-
lishme uts may also be deserving OF paronag=: thus

Fl. buNNABEL's Bl-srLPHITE OF LIME.-We are
reminded, in another column, by an advertisement
from the large establishment SO many years in op-
Grafton for the manufacture Of B-Sulphlte of Lime
that thus valuable preparation for the improvement
ofsugar in which it would appear to be eminently
successful, is still in popular request by the plan
ters of this State We understand Improvements
of the most valuable character have been introdu-
ced in the manufacture, and that from comparati-
vely low standard Of strength seven or eight pei
cent it is now uniformly ter and nnwards.

BIySULpHITE OF LlME.-This article has been
wording its way into favor among cur sugar plan
ters,and as an important chemical agent in the ma
nafaeture of sugar it is regarded by many of them
as an Indispensable auxiliary In cases where
prejudice or incredulity, and blind attachment
t0Soid ways andpTsctices have ignored its use af-
ter partial triumph, the cause may be inscri bed
to inferority OF the article and the imperfect man
in which 1t has been manufactured The grand
essential in the article to make it effective for the
use designed is its strength, ade6ciency in whirA
has been the popular objection.
