The Beet Sugar business will receive a generous 

 impulse from the bounty of three cents per pound for 

 five years, offered by the act which has just pnssed our 

 legislature. It will enable the Northampton Conip.'.ny 

 to pay well foi the Beets, and thu.-^ grneron.Nly compen- 

 sate llie farmers. This conipany,by the way, will com- 

 mence operati^ins early in May, or sooner, if Mr Isnard 

 returns from France. A suitable location for the facto- 

 ry will he found, buildings erected, and tlie machinery 

 put in, in season to u.«e the beet crop of this autumn. — 

 Tlie difficulty will probahlj^be, in not obtaining enough 

 of the raw material this fall for their imnndiate con- 

 sumption ^JVorthampton Cou.
