| Bonmabers BIZ -Sulplhc of Lime-It gives US plea.
to refer all interested to the advertisement ia
another column of Mr. BonnabeFs very extensive
| and complete establishment for the manufacture o.
! the Bi-SuIphite of Lime and in SO doing we avail
! ourselves of the notice given by our contemporary
of the True Data, which is written with thorough
understanding of the subject. That journal says
| and we endorse its language:
| 1--WE undeI nd Improvements of the most val
liable character have been Introduced in the manu-
lacture, and that from comparatively low stand
ard oil strength, eight per cent, it is now
uotfo'naiy ten and upwards.
''Skerticism long held out against the use and u
tty Of the Bt-Snphite nor can it SUI prise an one
that this was so, secog how many agents, caem-
cal and Others have been Introduced ia the last
twenty years, to improve the quality Of Louisiana
sugars; as to ensble it to compete successfully
with the foreign article aod to counteract some OF
the disadvantages it has to contend against flom
peculiarities of climate and hasty PREPARATION for
market.
The Bi-Sulph;te, we are assured, has answered
expectations in almost every instance where no
extrayagant or unreasonable hopes have been ms
pired iDduIged and perhaps, the very best proof
of the good results following it's use, is furnished
by those intelligent planters who, having used it
when its effects and nature were but impeffecty
understood, still continue to employ and recon-
mend ita an agent of great value and worthy of
the most extended application. Of course, much
will depend on the purity of the article and the e.
deity with which its manufacture is conducted
and il is for this reason, observing in advertising
columns the notice of an old and we'll bshed
manufacture, that we deem it onr duty to refer to
it with so much Enthusiastically. Other estab-
lishments may also be deserving of patronage this
enc has already name well known to consumers
and therefore does not require special reference
comnaendation fiom us. The chemical product it.
self deserves however, fair trial from every one

ii. BoNNABEL,s BI-sULPHfTE OF LtME.-We are
reminded, in another column, by an advertisement
from the large establishment so many years in op-
Grafton for the manufacture of B-SuIphite of Lime
that this valuable preparation for the improvement
ofsugar, in which it would appear to be eminently
successful, is still in popular request by the plan
tiers 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 per
cent. it is now uniformly ter end nnwards.
Skepticism long held out against the use and
utility of the Bi-Sulphite, nor it surprise any
one that it was so, seeing how many agents, che
mical and others, have been introduced in the last
twenty years, to improve the quality of Louisiana
sugars, so as to enable il to compete successfully
with the foreign article, and to counteract some of
the disadvantages it has to contend against from
peculiarites ofclimate and hasty pfepa ration for
market
The Bi-Sulphite, we are assured, has answered
expectations in almost every instance where no
extravagant or unreasonable hopes have been ms
pired or INDUCED; and, perhaps, the very best
proof of the good results following It's use is fur
nished by those intelligent planters who, having
used it where its effects and nature were but inn
perfectly understood, still continue to employ and
recommend it as agent Of great value and worthy
of the most extended application. Ofcourse, much
will depend on the purity of Che article and the f.
deity with which it's manufacture is conducted;
and it is for this reason observing in advertis
ing columns the notice Of an old and we'll estabishs
ed manufacturer, that we deem it our duty to refer
to it with SO much circumstantiality Other esta-
blishnent may also be deserving of patronage; this
one has already name well known 30 consumers,
and therefore does not require special reference or
commendation from US. The chemical product it.
self deserves however, fair trial from every one,
snd planters should not permit any prejudice to
atand ia the way Of testing its merit.
NesO- Orleans True Della
working its way into favor among our sugar plan
tiers, and as important chemical agent in the ma
nufacture of sugar it 10 regarded by many of them
as an indispensable auxiliary. In cases where
prejudice or incredulity, and blind attachment
to old ways and practices have ignored its use af
ter partial triumph, the cause may be inscri bed
to inferortY of the article and the imperfect man.
In which it has been manufactured. The grand
essential in the article TO make it effective for the
use designed, Is its strength adefciency in which
has been the popular objection
