BOnnabers Bi.SuIphite Of Lime.


| kEw-ORLEAks, september 1st 1857.
Permit me to invite yeur attention to the follow
ing in relation to the manufacture of BI-suLpH1rl
OF LIME, which from the first discovery of the
valuable properties it possesses as depurative o
cane Juice until this time, have prepared at the
New Orleans Southern Chemical Works, in larger
quantities and of greater strength than any other
establishment. My laboratory contains every re-
quisite for its preparation, and neither labor care
nor expense is spared to render it every year
worthy of the patronage with which it has been
favored. Rival Manufactures have entered Ints
competition with me in vain, my Bl-Sulphite hav-
ing as the subjoned testimonials from leading city
journals will show, always commanded from ex-
| perienced planters the preference.
1t is unnecessary to remind Planters, as they are
already aware Of the fact, that this Bi-Suphse Of
Lime. when property used, never fails 10 produce
beautiful white and yellow crystalized sugar that
always commands the highest price in this market,
and the very best recommendation it can have
with Western and other buyers is the fact OF it's
having been made with Bonnabe's B-Sulphite as
they consider that guarantee against any loss in
weight, and are always willing to pay higher pri-
for it. The high repute and favor in which the
Planters generally hold this B-Sulphite, is so
much matter OF notorety that it is quite unneces-
sary to publish here any of the many atterins tes-
timonials received daily from those who have used
it, and invariably succeeded beyond their most
sanguine expectations in not eniy making the best
sugar ever previously made by them, but also in
realizing the highest prices with less loss in weight
than by any other process. Already large orders
are on my books for the approa ching rolling season.
my customers wisely taking advantage of time, so
as to have at the commencement of sugar making
supply on hand
AS there is net, South of Philadelphia, SO exten.
sive and complete an establishment as the New
Orleans Southern Chemical Works, not one in any
manuer comparable to it in capacity to manufac-
ture with the greatest dispatch and of the strong
est quality the Bl-SuLPHITE OF LIaE, / am COM
pelIed to invite the orders of Planters in advance,
SO that no disappointment may be experienced by
old or new customers when sugar boiling con-
mences
The best and staunehest barrels have been pro- |
vided for the BiSuIphitP; they are guaranteed not
TO leak, and when returned will be re-hled and |
shipped and fifty cents each allowed from the price
Planters should be particular in ordering through
their merchants to specify that none but H. Bon- |
nabePs Bi-Sulphite be sent to them.
All orders must be addressed

The NIcARAauA RoUrE-It is reported
that coalition has been effected between the
Rival Commondores, Vanderbilt, and Garrison
and Morgan, who have been SO long contend
ing for the possession Of the Nicaragua route,
and who have alternately supported and OPP
posed Walker as served their rival interests.
Walker con6scatod vanderbilI's property and
steamers on the route, and gave them to Nor
gan and Garrison, as the price of their sup
port. Vanderbilt then intrigued with Costa
Ricaus, and by his agents, operating with the
natives, recaptured his property from Walker
and his abettors Morgan a Garrison, defeat
ed Walker and drove him to Rivas. Wander
bilt and his rivals finding, perhaps, it wiser
to combine, than to contend rs competitors,
have formed coalition in which they mutu-
al y discard Walker, and have determined to
set up government of their own selection,
pledged to their interests, and sustained by
the Costa Ricans and their allies. Walker
will have to make concessions and submit tC
the new dictators and act secondary part,
to those who can now impose their laws or
him; or he will be left to his fate, or be ex
PEELED from the country.
| In any event the Anne rican influences viii
be preserved and theAmerican power strength

ject Of the men who will control the powe
and course OF the new government, being sim

clock, last evening, with the remains Of Dr.
Kane, minute guns were fred by the Gun
Squad, anc the bells Of the city and steam

sadness felt by the community for the death
of one who had excited the admiration and
love of the whole country. The levee was
crowded with citizens and the solemn peals
of the cannon and bells continued for an hour
while the boat lay at the wharf
