A New Industry.
A London correspondent writes to an exchange : — There is a good projpect of a new aud profitable industry being opened up in New Zealand. I suppose most people in the colony know that valuable and nutritive stimulant , bovril. Possibly some may have heard ot il ßovril Johnston," wbo virtually " rons that sliow." Mr " Bovril " Johnston and Mr Thomas Mackenzie wan near neighbours while the latter lived at Dulwhh, and Mr Mackenzie had several opportunities of impressing upon Mr Johotton tbe large resources possessed by N-jw Zealand in the way of beef, on which the Bovril Company might well (3 raw for material to be manufactured into their famous meat extract. Tbe lesult is that Mr Johnston is sending ouo of his staff out to New Zealand for tbt express purpose cf ascertaining what can be profitably done in the way of purchasing cattle wholesale out there, and sotting up local works for the purpose of manufacturing the essence. If the result of bis investigations should prove satisfactory, a useful industry will be started m New Zealand.
