The cbristimptidh ofAuStraliahme'atinthe mother" couhtry has never been. so extensive, as its' 'combined °qttality ! aiid cheapheps 'deserve, it being 'ittfexior in quality only to the. best Ehglisli fresh beef and mutton, cooked iiiiexce'ptionably, and which costs "double as much. Lately this trade has received an immense 'impetus, : and the spacious •manufactories 'in 'the col&hy areincreasing in number. Withiti their walls handicrafts are carried -t>n, with improved.^machinery and skilled labor, to produce those red canisters labelled or 81b.,; which- should become'familiar to 'every British housekeeper. A series of cheap, but' nutritious workingmen's dinners haS'lately been inaugurated by the Lbndon -representative of the colonial companies. The repast' cbnsist'ed of "bxtail^ mulligatawny, pea, and- gravy soups made from ..Australian meat.; also, legs of mutton,beef,, vegetables, cheese, ,celery, &c- The hearty manner in which the various" dishes were disposed: of, abundantly, testified to the good quality of 'the Australian meat when properly cooked aiid'-served^up. • The- extremely low priceat which it can be furnished .will be seen from the fact ,that Mr Wackett st4ted he could supply g'ravy 'soup.iat Id ! per plate, Irish stew at 2d, and ste\y.ed beef at 3d. He also stated that' these dinners were, not; prepared. frcjm. the. salt meat, as he used nothing but 'the very best' tinned meat imported by the... Victoria Meat [Preserving Cbmpany.and the ßaradrnie Company. Various local 'clergymen havespbken rri'bst' favorably of Australian . preserved nieat as being • calculated to 'relieve great' distress amongst the poorer classes ; and their experience had shown them that it had "been the means of doing immense goodin^providing such pebple with cheap and whols'spine.food. . If . a..more impartial test were made of the meat, and the qualities it possesses ,. fairly, put^ to the trials ''■'niuch' "ol the prejudice which' exists against ita .consumption, ia. the, minds of cer.taiii sections of the public, would undoubtedly disappear. ---Ibid.

Though he purposely laid no stress on these words, and said them; in a quiet unconcerned tone of voice, the dog, .who appeared to .-.be; asleep, immediafcelyl j limped up, and leaping i through the open window scrambiedup the turf roof of the house, frbmvwhichihe cbnld^see the^ potato e' Afield ; he theft, not seeiug her 1 there; raivand looked into .thei byre I. where -she' wa^;';standingj and finding that all wasr.right rdame, back <-$o tlie house.
