CHEAP MEALS.
A NEW SCHEME. PWsSAsSociftWort.-EieckttTele^apß.ii-CoSJright. London, March 25. A dinner to illustrate Tallerraatt's system of Utilising and boiling joints of beef and mutton for 1 cheap and appetising meals served hot in private houses, was tried in Cannon-street Hotel yesterday. The Agents-General, a number of shipowners, squatters, and commercial men* and also Mr. Weddel, were present. The Agents - General praised the excellent quality of the dinner, but said there was no hope of the Government assisting the scheme except by sympathy. Sir Westby Perceval advised the exercise of caution, as it would not do to pauperise or offend the working men. Although a large amount of capital is required to float the scheme, several private gentlemen have promised to assist in the formation of a syndicate to try the system under Mr. Weddel's direction. Mr. Fitzwilliam Wentworth offered to contribute 5000 sheep and to take the payment in shares.
