PROSPECTUS OF THE VICTORIA AND NEW ZEALAND BEETROOT SUGAII COMPANY. Capital 100,000 c, in 10,000 shares of lOC each. Deposit 1C per share. TO be incorporated by an Act of the Legislative Council, and the liability of the Shareholders to be limited to the amount of their shares. Managing Director —J. Sullivan, Esq. Solicitor —S. Toynbee, Esq. Bankers—The Bank of Victoria. A branch of industry which has of late years been very largely and profitably developed in France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, and Ireland, is that of preparing sugar from (he Beetroot; and this company has been formed for the purpose of establishing, on the most improved principles, a Beetroot Sugar Manufactory in New Zealand. More than a quarter of a century ago it was supposed that the sugar-cane was the only substance from which could be obtained a sufficient supply of sugar for the European markets ; but of lalc years it has been demonstrated that such a supply could be furnished frdrn Beetroot, which has since become the principal source from whence all the sugar which is consumed on the continent of Europe is derived. f , In 1850, the whole produce of France was but 8000 tons, but in twenty years it has increased to more than 80,000 tons. Such have been the improvements connected with the manufacture of Sugar from Beetroot, that the price .at which it can now ho produced enables the manufacturer successfully to compete with the producer of sugar made from cane by slave labor, without one farthing of protecting duty. The consumption of sugar, while gradually increasing, is now something immense. In 1847, which may he taken as a fair average for the previous eight years, Great Britain alone imported 556,280,000 lbs. weight, upon which was paid a duty of 3,96f|042 1. The Irish Beetroot Sugar Company, w|ple paying five times as much rent per acre plr annum as the total cost of the fee-simple per acre in Now Zealand, besides 10 1, per ton duty upon the manufactured article, returns to the shareholders a [dividend of 81. per cent., their produce commanding a higher price in the market than the produce of the sugar cane. By recent improvements in the manufacture of Beetroot Sugar, refined sugar can now be produced from the juice of (he roots in the brief space of two hours and a half, and in less than two days the loaves are perfectly dried and ready for use. New Zealand has been selected as the prospective held of the company’s operations, for reasons which appear pre-eminently to entitle it to a preference over this and all the other neighbouring colonies, in some of which it is proposed hereafter to establish similar factories, Among these reasons may be slated the fob
