OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES PATENT.
(From the Westindian.)

The experiments in maceration carried
on at Belair have had a great effect upon
public opinion. These experiments have
demonstrated that good sugar can be made
from the Juice obtained by maceration, and
that from the first and second juices, mix
ed, good sugar can also be obtained. The
quantity of sugar got from the second
expression at Belair is fully equal to rs per
cent. of that obtained from first crushing.
We have not before us as yet sufficient
data to guide us in an estimate OF the cost
of the sugar obtained from maceratlon, but
the opinion is becoming general that ma
c~eration will pay OF course extravaganza
anticipations are being INDUCED IN 0y OPP
timists, who imagine that maceration Will
prove to them a veritable N UOrGdo'
Without induIging in any such tallaclous
hopes, we NAV point out the very lmpor-
tant influence maceration is likely to have
upon the fortunes of the Colony, should it
prove in practice the success which the
experiments at Belair presage.
We have received tonight from Mr..
King, BeIair, a sample of maceration sugar
made to-day, with equal proportions OF
first crushing and maceratlon juices. The
sugar was treated with 81 gallons of bi-sul-
phate and 53lbs. lime to a clarifer ot7OO gal
Ions, andcured without water. This sample
is quite equal, if not superior, In quality
to the sugar made from ! of maceration
Juice to 3 of first crushing ; it has q better
bloom and is of the kind to command o
good price in the sugar market.
