THE MARSALA.
By the San Francisco mail, Mr A. C. Begg has received further advices regarding the refrigerating steamer Marsala. It appears she does not come direct to New Zealand, but calls at Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney, and will no doubt partially load cargo at the latter porl, coming on here to load the meat early in September. We understand this is only the precursor of several other shipments of tho same kind. By the exertions of the Australian Company (Limited), the Company which owns the Marsala, cold storage has been provided in London sufficient to take in meat measuring 700 tons of 40 cubic feet, in case of it being needful to hold for a short time. The army of the Home district, which, we presume, means the troops stationed immediately around Louden, and which, to about 5000
strong, were using the New Zealand meat when the mail left.
