SUGAR DE NOVO.

Uader The above heading a writer in the
TIlnjdad Chronicle, from whom We gave some
extracts in a late number of the Auis, gives
the following historical sketch of the
sugar cane:
"IT will be seen, from what has been already
advanced that the culture and manufacture of
cane sugar, compared with that of beet sugar,
has made but little progress; and it is idle to
attempt 10 escape the conviction that the
exotic industry has really become so far natu-
faIIZed as to bear removal from the hot
house OF protection to the open air of free trade.
The men who were induced by the first
Napoleon to enter upon this peaceful cam
paign, and their successors and cOadiutors,
have bravely kept the field, and at length come
up with their rivals. The years of protection
have afforded them the time to perform that
which takes time to accomplish and they
have done it. However much We, connected
with the cane sugar industry, may wish it
otherwise, the fact remains-and We are being
deluded into a false security in denying or con-
cealing it-that we are now meeting, upon
perfectly level ground, an antagonist which
with fewer resources and less gelSt perhaps,
has nevertheless more elan. This, then, is The
moment when a clear comprehension of their
position and prospects is OF supreme
Importance to all who are pecuniarily
interested in the direction of a branch of in
dustry, the prosperity or decline of which in
wolves collaterally the well-beiug or ruin Of
thousands besides themselves.
As an apology for devoting some attention
to what is usually deemed such an Improbable
subject as history, the writer c%onfesses to a
PencAant for beginning at the beginning. 1t
might also be pleaded, in extenuation of such
a misapplication of time, that the history of

OBIT UARY ".

Again it is our painful duty to record the
death Of a man who will be much missed,
missed not on account of his welding
the magic wand Of the almighty dollar,
but for his many other good qualities,-
missed, not only as necrologists usually
have it, by a large number of friends, for
his friendships were perhaps not of the
ordinary kind, in which there is generally
some touch Of cliquism, not to be too
cynically condemned, perhaps, but still
not much to be extolled.
His heart was big enough to encompass
also such as are apt to be forgotten
by those with more pretentions. Mr..
William Plaskett, the subject of this
obituary, died on the 18th inst, at the age of
81, at one of his properties in this island,
estate AnnaIy, where he had been residing
Of late years. managing the estate himself,
ana his remains were accompanied to their
last resting place by a very large ~conc0urse
OF people. Mr.. Plaskett was a native ofthis
island, and at an early age he went to
copenhagen to be educated. While there
he contracted numerous and valuable
friendship s, and they proved to be of that
lasting kind which might perhaps make
the misanthrope pause ADD ask, if after
oil people are $50 bad. We know that
many at home will heartily join US ia
%condolinR with his family in their grief.
But Mr.. Plaskett was not only a good
triend-to the poor no less than the
well-to-do-not only as hospitable a man
as these isles, proverbial for hospitality,
ever produced, but he was a good citizen,
enjoying the confidence of his fellow men,
as was shown by their e%lecting him as a
member of the Colonial Council, and
although not a professional politician-the
