flowing, viz., the great facilities winch exist for j obtaining land 1 in sufficient quantity and at a moderate cost for the Company's purposes ; the ’peculiar adaptation of the soil ; and the cheapness and abundance of labour. The Government of New Zealand has not yet been apprised of (he important objects which the Company have : in view, and it cannot therefore he stated whether the Company will obtain a free grant of land for their purposes, or whether they will have to purchase under the ordinary regulations. But under any circumstances, they will he enabled to possess themselves of the feesimple of any quantity of land that may he desired at a maximum price not exceeding ten shillings per,acre. The adoptibility of the soil of New Zealand for the growth of the raw material is unquestionable; roots of all kinds flourish in all the greatest luxuriance, and from satisfactory tests which have been applied to (hem, have Leon found singularly rich in saccharine matter—a circumstance which, taken in conjunction with IJicir great size and weight, point to New Zealand as a country possessing capabilities sufficient to rank it the first sugarproducing country in the world. In France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany, the average; produce is 25 tons per acre. In Ireland it is 50 tons per acre ; and it may be fairly estimatedthat the fertile soil and favoured climate of New Zealand would yield an average not below that of the last named country. Upon the third point, viz., the cheapness ai d abundance of labour, no reasonable doubt can exist; the New Zealanders arc industrious labourers, and can be engaged, in numbers far exceeding the requirements of the Company, at the rate of half-a-crown per day. There are many other sources of profit which remain after the sugar is produced, among which may be mentioned those arising from salted leaves and (he pulp, which is left after the juice has been extracted; Loth of which afford excellent food for cattle. Besides which there is another feature in this undertaking far too important to be overlooked. In the process of manufacturing sugar from Beetroot, certain portions of the machinery require occasionally to be thrown out of gear, by which means a great amount of steam goes to waste; (o turn (his to profitable account a circular saw and American planing machine will he fixed, ,with gearing, in connection with which will bo also a brick-making machine. Plans and estimates have been carefully prepared, and can be inspected at the temporary Offices of the Company.
