DAMAGED MEAT.
Large quantities of frozen; mutton from New Zealand (says the European Mail), amounting altogether to over 3000 carcases, were on October 6 detvdyed by order of tho London port authoiities. The ine'at came by the sailing ship Mataura, 1 aud we are informed, on behalf of the Haslam Poiin-' dry and 'Engineering Company, that tb.e cause the meat going ba£ was that it had 1 not been carefully ftmen before being packed m the freeVihg chamber. Thl )-efrigerating apparatus' worked Well during the vpya,g6, and a portion of the cargo was latideit : iii ' f g6od order. To lose *ihree or Jour thousand sheep after sending them to England is a .serious misfortune to anybody, and the London public may claim a share of the misfortune as theii-s, for they have lost the opportunity of buying the finest mi\t- &># m the world at alow piice. It will i>e a national misfortune if this mishap should check the enterprise of colonial breeders and shippers.
