Young ladies, who form no insignificant portion l of the readers of the circulating library, will find much to interest and entertain them in the history of Nora's Trial. The domestic group at the " Nest," to which we are introduced in the first volume, is sufficiently attractive. The impetuous but sensitive Nora, and the bright and fascinating Fanny, are happy girls, under the wing of a tender and charm ing mother. Mrs. Lennox, during the brief period that she remains on the scene, is a most delightful character, while Mr. Lennox, we cannot but think, is hardly dealt with by the novelist. From his very first introduction we are constantly induced, by sundry hin is and inuendos, to regard him with suspicion, while in reality he is a most affectionate father, and even in the hour of Nora's trial absolutely refuses to submit her to the sacrifice. Mr. Lennox certainly does not justify the evil expectations we had been led to form of his charac ter and conduct. As for Nora, the heroine, whose trial is indeed severe, but endured without resignation, she learns in ,suffering, but the lesson is painful to herself, and the descriptions of her sufferings and the rebellious utterances to which they give rise, able though the descriptions are, are singularly distressing. We do not wish to " spoil the story," and therefore we shall not allude to the particulars of the " trial" which afflicted Nora ; we shall content ourselves with remarking that the sacrifice should not have been undertaken unless the fair martyr were better prepared to un dergo it. Very different is the example of Emelia Wyndham, not that even that admirable heroine was justified in her.sacrifice.—" Marriage," says Shak spere, " is matter of more worth than to be dealt with by attorneyship." Before taking leave of Nora and her trial we must quote a sentence of practical wisdom administered to the disconsolate mourner by the matter-of-fact Annie Bolton. She tells her to be " a Christian, and give herself two things to do—to love God and love her neighbour, and she will have no time for weeping." OLYMPIC THEATRE. Mr. Horace Wigan commenced his regular winter season last evening, on which occasion he produced two now pieces ; one, , a comedietta, entitled " The Best Way ;" and the other, a new and original drama in three acts, by Mr. Tom Taylor, entitled " The Whiteboy." The latter is an Irish drama of the " Peep o'Day" and " Colleen Bawn" class, and but for the announcement we should never have attributed the work to Mr. Taylor, who has given us some of the best acting plays ever produced upon the stage. " The Whiteboy" has, however, been produced with the utmost care, and although the acting of all engaged was unexceptionable we can not predict for it a long or brilliant career, as the plot is a very tangled one, and the situations, but with very few exceptions, conventional in the ex treme. The scene of " The Whiteboy" is laid in Ireland in the year 1795, and the hero is Red - mond O'Hara, a light-hearted, rollicking Cork - peasant, who belongs to a " lodge," one of the objects of which is the delight of distilling potheen by moon light in the ruins of an old abbey. Capt. Trevor, an English officer, in the King's service, is quar tered in the Galtee Mountains, with the duty of preventing illicit distillation, and whilst engaged in the business he makes the acquaintance of Mr. Corn elius Moriarty, a blustering claret-drinking, duelling Irish gentleman. The captain also secures the affections of Moriarty's daughter, and as that lady's father has determined his daughter should never marry an Englishman, they make up their mind for an elopement, which is overheardby the villain of the piece, one Paddy M‘liew, who determines to frus trate the runaway match, and to rid the mountains of the red-coat captain by assassination. A "lodge" is called, and Paddy ivl'Kew so arranges that the lot of murdering the captain falls to Red mond, but he, not feeling disposed to shoot a man on the eve of his (Redmond's) wedding day, sends a message to Captain Trevor not to pass the abbey ruins as he intended that evening, and the friendly hint being taken, one, Mr. Cicero Rabbits, an English attorney journeying to Cork, is mistaken for him by a lot of the boys and narrowly escapes the fate intended for the soldier. Here one of the best bits of the drama occurs, viz., the agony of Rabbits, ,when his real character is discovered, atbeing ordered by the whiteboys to eat the writs and mortgage deeds he has brought with him to Ireland. Captain Trevor, to show his grati tude for the preservation of his life, writes a few hurried words to his bride Grace Moriarty to give to Grace Dwyer, her foster sister, and the beloved of Redmond O'Hara, a rouleau of guineas as a marriage portion, and this generous act leads to unthought of misery to the rustic lovers. When Grace shows the gold to Redmond, after their marriage, he becomes uneasy as to how she became possessed of the fortune, and she refusing to satisfy him, Paddy M‘liew, the spy and rejected lover of Grace D wyer, insinuates villany on the part of Capt Trevor. Redmond believes the false accusation, and casts his new made wife off in the midst of the party who is celebrating his wedding. Grace is heart-broken at the accusation, and Red mond, becoming almost mad, determines to seek out the Captain and take summary vengeance for the act. The parties meet at an " old Shebeen up among the hills," and just as Redmond is about to shoot the Captain Grace O'Hara rushes in and prevents her husband from becoming a murderer. An explanation now takes place, the Captain tells Redmond that the letter he addressed to " Grace', was written to his own wife and not to Grace D wyer, who restores happiness to the heart of Redmond. Mr. Moriarty gives his consent to the marriage of his daughter to Captain Trevor. Paddy M'Kew is dis covered to be the villain who has caused all the misery, and is marched off to prison accordingly, and the little English lawyer, to his inexpressible delight, is provided with the means of returning to Thavie's Inn, anl thus the curtain falls upon the general joy of the characters. Miss Milly Palmer, who made her first appearance at this theatre as Grace D wy er, played the part with great feeling and tenderness, and Mr. H. Neville as Redmond O'Hara represented the part with his usual discrimination and excellence. Mr. Dominick Murray, as Rabbits, the lawyer, is provided with a serio-comic part, which he worked out with great skill, and Mr. G. Vincent as Paddy M'Kew gave a very vivid realisation of the part. The scenery, dresses, and music were all in ex cellent keeping, and showed that the manager bad omitted nothing that could give effect to the drama. The house was crowded in every part. THE LATE FENIAN DISCOVERY IN LIVERPOOL.-- The recent discovery of Fenian war munitions and destruc tive combustibles in Liverpool has been productive of a greater "scare" among the Brotherhood there than any thing which has occurred during the last.l2 months. On Saturday, after tiro four persons who had been arrested the previous evening were remanded at the Police-court, meet ings were summarily called at three or four places of Fenian rendezvou, and in the evening there were assembled such members as had remained scattered through the town, and even yet, although the number has been much reduced, the body is not insignificant. What passed at the meeting did not transpire, but a portion of what was done may be stated. Up to a very recent period the "Brotherhood" were ambitious to have allusions made to their proceed ings, but on Saturday evening this view was departed from and caution was the word. It is a fact, neverthel ess , which has transpi re d th a t a ll f ormer " s i gns " o f recognition were abolished, and ono new general one was adopted. Singular though it may appear, this sign was so rapidly transmitted that it was used and recognised among the brethren on Sunday. This is one of the mysteries con nected-with the movement, and shows how well it is orga nised. On Saturday evening emissaries were despatched to various parts of the country, and to Ireland, to warn the fraternity as to the altered state of matters. It alsoappears that there is no present lack of money among the body, from what source soever it may be derived, and payments are made in gold and silver. Chatham and Dover Railway. The result of the meeting of debenture holders, held to-day at the London Tavern, was the passing of the following resolution, with but one dissen tient:— "That in order to protect the interests of the debenture holders of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany, a committee should be appointed, conaisting of Mr Peak°, Mr. Prow, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Bramwell, Mr. Broom and himself, with power to add to our members." Visit of the Prince and P:incess of Wales t Dunrobin Castle. Gotsrin, Tuesday Evening. The Prince and Princess of Wales arrived at Dunrobin Castle yesterday evening. A visit of Royalty to this part of the country had been long promised, but the disappoint ments were so frequent that the accomplishmentof the pro mise began to be despaired of. . When intimation was first given this season th a t th e v i s i t was to take place the nor them public wait e d f or f urther confirmation before placing much credence in the report, and when it was again de ferred by authoritative announcement they regarded it as an event which was to have been expected. The surprise, therefore, was all the more agreeable when it came to be known that the engagement was really to be fulfilled, and that the day of the visit was positively fixed. Their Royal Highnesses were conveyed by special train from Aboyne to Bonar-bridge, the terminus of the Highland Railway system, and they proceeded thence in an open car riage to the seat of their noble entertainer. In attendance on the Prince of Wales were General Knollys and Colonel Keppel ; and the Hon. Mrs Coke attended:on the Princess. Prince Victor and Prince George were also of the party. At all the halting -places from Aboyne to Dunrobin pre parations had been made for giving them a suitable wel come. The Inverness station, where they remained for about half an hour, was gaily decorated, and the Prince was presented by the Provost and magistrates with the freedom of the burgh. At Bonar-bridge two splendid arches of ever greens were erected, bearing the inscriptions, "Welcome to Sutherland." From this place to Dunrobin the distance is 25 miles, and the road lies through most picturesque High land scenery. At Clashmore, whore they arrived a little before 7 o'clock in the evening, the party made a halt of ten minutes for the purpose of changing horses. The Dornoch company of Volunteers, numbering 74 men, were drawn up as a guard of honour under Major W. S Fraser, and a great crowd of country people had ef imed at the spot, who cheered loudly as the curia : ea approached. The Duke of Sutherland, who Met Lis visitors at Keith, presented the following gentlemen to the Prince while the remained nec h a t ; C is a r . Fordyce, 8 hm or e l —Major F raser an d C apta i n sheriff of th e count i es of Sutherland and Caithness, an d Sheriff Fraser, Fort Willi am . Their royal highness es ac k nowledged the cheering most party Taylor, courteously, and bowed to the crowd % the carriages drove off. At Golspie, the village in the immediate vicinity of Dunrobin, the inhabitants had exerted themselves to give the royal party as magnificent a reception as their limited resources would permit. A range of steep hills rises in rear of the village, and on the highest peaks huge bonfires had been piled —one on Cambusmore, another on an emi nence locally known as the Silver Rock, and a third on Ben Braggie, on the summit of which stands the statue of the grandfather of the present Duke of Sutherland. These were lighted as soon as night came on, and from their command ing situations they had a most brilliant effect. Golspie boasts of only one street, but the houses aro neat and clean, and the decorations were all tastefully got up. The ingenuity of the population had been expended on an arch in the centre of the village, and a strong structure of pine saplings adorned with heather had been the result. Coloured lights were hung thickly upon the columns, some of them forming the letters "A.A.,"and other graceful designs. The windows of the houses were illuminated, flags were flying at all con spicuous points, and-the eye was greeted on every side with inscriptions such as "Long live the Prince and Princess of Wales," " Welcome to Britain's future King," &c. There were no decorations on the approach to the castle, but late in the evening a number of men wore placed in pairs at regular intervals for more than half-a-mile, each with a torch in his hand, which he was instructed to light as soon as the royal party approached. The Sutherland Rifle Volunteers also turned out, under command of Major Weston, and the Artillery, under command of Captain Loch. Great crowds had assembled to obtain a glimpse of their Royal Highnesses in passing through the village. The carriage drove up about 8 o'clock, and as it approached the Artillery began to fire a Royal salute with pieces that had been taken from his Grace's yacht the Undine. Hats were off in an instant, and loud cheers welcomed the Royal visitors, demonstrations which were acknowledged in the most gracious manner. The horses proceeded at a rapid pace through Golspie and along the approach to the Castle, the blazing torches which lighted their passage giving a peculiarly striking effect to the whole scene.. The Rifle Volunteers, uuder Major Weston, formed a guard of honour at the Castle. The following distinguished persons are the guests of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland:—His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward and the Princess of Saxe-Weimar, Earl Spencer and the Countess Spencer, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Lady Adelaide and Lady Gertrude Talbot, and the Hon. Reginald Talbot, Lord Ronald Love son Gower, Lord Archibald Campbell, Mrs. Hay Mackenzie (mother of the Duchess of Sutherland), lion. E. Coke, Mr. and Mrs. Summer, General Knollys and Colonel Koppel, in attendance on the Prince of Wales ; Hon. Mrs. Coke, Lady in Waiting to the Princess ; and Lieutenant Haig, Gentle man in Waiting to the Duke of Edinburgh. Several other noblemen are expected. To-day (Tuesday) the statue of the late duke was inaugu rated. Some apprehension was felt lest the statue shoulcj not be ready in time, but the sculptor (Mr. Noble, Lonflon) finished it with an effort, and it arrived at Dun'Sobin on Monday at noon. The cost including th'e pedestal is £2,000, of which half has been subscribtrA by the tenantry and half by the Duke. The statue, on which Mr. Noble has been engaged for the last year, is of bronze, 10 feet in height, and is said to be a good likeness of the late Duke. A fac-simile in marble has been taken for the Duchess Dowager. The figure rests on a pedestal of grey granite very similar to that used on the Thames Embankment. The height is 13 feet. The lower step of the base of the pillar is a huge times of granite, nine feet square and 19in. thick, being the finest block used for such a pur pose in the kingdom. It is erected on the north side of the Castle, and the end of the road forming the approach, and is directly in front of the principal entrance. Its erec tion was superintended by Mr. Fowler, architect. The chairman of the committee of subscribers was Mr. Sidney Hadwen, of Ballblair, and Mr. Gray, banker, Golspie, was secretary. There is no inscription upon the monument. The ceremony of unveiling the statue took place at 12 o'clock on Tuesday. At that hour the party came up from the Castle. The Princess of Wales was dressed in purple velvet, and the Duchess in blue silk, with white silk trim mings. The Prince was dressed in full Highland costume as Colonel of the Sutherlandshire Volunteers, and the Duke was in the same uniform, the trews in his case, however, being substituted for the kilt. The Duke of Edinburgh had a kilt of Stuart tartan. The ceremony was commenced by the Rev. Mr. Macmillan, of Loth, who offered up an appro priate prayer. Mr. Had Won, who was dressed in the uni form of a deputy-lieutenant, then stepped forward and read the following address : "My Lord Duke, —The sincere respect and regard enter tained towards your late noble father, the Duke of Suther land, during his lifetime by all classes in this country are well known, and no sooner had his lamented death occurred thea there was expressed at once an earnest and general desire to possess some permanent memorial of him. Of his virtues I need not here speak further, perhaps, than to say that they were such as to cause him to be known and spoken of by all as the good Duke. It was the unanimous wish of the subscribers that the particular form of the memorial should be determined by her in whose sorrow they so deeply sympathise, and she having given her decision the memo rial has taken the form of the statue now about to be un veiled, and which, in the name of the subscribers, it war only remains for me to hand over to your Grace and your family as a lasting memorial_ of their attachment. We deeply regret that her Grace the Duchess Dowager is unable to be preeent here this day to witness a ceremony in which she Must feel so deep an in terest. I beg that I may be also permitted to express the sincere gratification which we all feel that we should have on this occasion the high honour of the presence among us of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh." The Duke of SUTHERLAND returned thanks in appro priate terms, expressing his sorrow that the Dowager Duchess was unable, from ill health, to attend, as she had fully intended to be present. The covering was then removed, and the bronze figure exposed to view. The iiuke then presented Mr. Noble to the Prince and Princess of Wales; both of whom complimented him on the manner in which his work had been completed. The statue and the party in front were afterwards photo graphed by Mr. James, Golspie. Cheers were then given for the Queen,. the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, and for the children of the Prince and Princess, after which the party returned to the Castle to luncheon. The afternoon was spent by the party in deer -stalking on Ben Braggio. The return issued by the Bank of France shows a decrease of £20,000 in the bullion, but there is also a diminution of 2256,000 in the notes in circulation, and £24,000 in the advances on stock. 'The bills discounted have run off £360,000, and the current accounts £776,000. The Treasury balances are £746 400 larger. It has been announced that a general meeting of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China will be held on the 17th October, for the purpose of declaring an interim dividend for the past year. POLICE INTELLIGENCE .—This Day. BOW-STREET. ' Henry Bolter was placed at the bar charged with having in his possession a dog, supposed to have been stolen. Police -constable 46 E, said he was on duty a few nights ago in High Holborn, when he saw the prisoner with the dog—old, but well-bred and in good condition. Knowing him as the companion of thieves, he asked him what busi ness he had with the dog, and he said a lady had asked him to take care of it. Feeling satisfied the dog was stolen, witness took him into custody, and on the way to the station ho struck witness a violent blow in the ribs which caused him to loose his hold, and then prisoner started off at full speed, but he was stopped by another constable, who took him to the lock-up, Prisoner at the station-house and when first brought before the magistrate, said he found the dog straying about the street—that he took him home and fed him, and then brought him back to where he had found him. Inquiries had been made, but no owner had been found for the dog. The prisoner said he never said that he told tlo police man that a lady gave him the dog. It was a foolish state ment, which he should not be silly enough to use even if he was a dog-stealer. Any one with the slightest expe rience must know that it would be the next thing to tell ing the constable that he had stolen itat once. All he did say to the constable was what he had now stated. The dog was perfectly worthless, and it would not be acknow ledged by its owner, even if it had one. Mr. Vaughan said it was perfectly obvious that the pri soner had stolen the dog, though it would be difficult to convict him on that ground, as the owner could not be found. He (Mr. Vaughan) should be quite justified in convicting him as a rogue and vagabond, but ho did not feel disposed to do so, as it did not appear that he had been convicted before. For the assault on the constable ho should, however, commit him to prison for 21 days. WESTMINSTER. Prosecutor—Yes, when lodgers are not up. Mr. Selfe—Yours is a great state of trustfulness. Do you apprize your customers in any way when you leave the cans ? Prosecutor—Yes ; I call out milk. Mr. Selfe—And take the chance of its being taken, or taken in ? It seems to me if boys are thirsty it is a great temptation. John Steel, 80 A, proved seeing the boys at nine this morning in the Green-park trying to conceal the empty can. Harker—l did not take it. He (Evans) did. Evans—He told me to do it. Mr. Selfe—Are the friends of either of them here ? Harkar's mother-110's my boy, and he never did a wrong thing before in his life. Mr. Selfe—Then all I can say is, he is a natural curiosity I should suppose ho is the first boy that ever reached his age with such a character. Evans's father-31y boy is as bad a boy as can be; I can do nothing with him. Mr. Selfe—Correct him for this, and if brought here again I must punish him. The boys were then discharged. MARLBOROUGH STREET. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Joseph Riccas, a French shoemaker, was charged be fore Mr. Knox with attempting to commit suicide at the Cafe Regence, No. 1, Tichbourne-street. Leopold Boor, a waiter at the Cafe Regence, said that about half past ten on the previous night he went to one of the closets, and not being able to open the door, and not getting any answer to his knocks at the door, ho looked over the top, and saw the prisoner suspended by a piece of cord round his neck, and fastened to a water pipe. The prisoner was cut down and the police sent for. Police constable Elliott, 43 C, said that he was called to the Cafe Regence, and found the prisoner lying on the seat of the closet in a state of insensibility. He spoke to the prisoner, but could not get him to answer. He took the prisoner to the station, and he afterwards told him that he had been in prison three months for stealing a coat, and rather than be dishonest he thought he would destroy himself. Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner for a week, and a communication should be made on his behalf with the Prisoners' Aid Society. BANE OF FRANCE.

From which it appear s that the Russian and Prussian Railways accommodate tho working classes at the cheapest rate, while the tariff of Great Britain and Ireland is the highest of them all for first, second, and third, and express trains. It must, how_ ever, be borne in mind that, in those foreign countries whore the railways do not belong to the state, the share holders receive considerable government assistance in con sideration of their being obliged to adopt a low tariff. A TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGE AND ITS VARIOUS READING."—A gentleman the other day had occasion to telegraph to Cambridge for a book. The book was a copy of prize poems containing, as the telegram was worded "Johnson's Poem on Plato." By the time thb message reached Cambridge (it would have to pass through London on its way) it had become altered into "John Pomens on Plato Money." The bookseller at Cambridge wrote by re turn to say that he regretted his inability to find any such work. TEMPTATION.—Thomas Harker and James Evans, two boys, were charged with stealing a half-pint o 4 tho can containin g it. and David Thomas, a dairyman, said that, l* .ie loft the can and milk at the door of a customer in ;tafford-placo, and at half-pas bsequently nom' 7 this mo rn i ng. it was taken away fr om th ere, su a "I ,l :wet - flan brought the pri soners an d the empty can 4 1 - 0 him.

NEWMARKET. Our Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire horses continuo to do first-rate, more particularly Lothario, who, this morn ing, galloped two miles very fast, and Breeze went two and a quarter, the pair pulling up fresh and sound. In fact the mare is improving wonderfully; and if she can only stand the necessary severe preparation, which we fear she will not, Breeze must be troublesome for the long dis tance handicap at our next meeting. Lothario, however, has the Baron's especial confidence. Broomielaw bolted at exercise this morning, and, showing a deal of temper, was taken in early. Emigrant galloped a mile and a half, but cannot be got ready in time for the Cesare witch. Jollity went two miles and a half at a real good pace, and though a plainish animal is a most useful one. Nu has got as thin as a rail, but she went a rattling two miles this morning, a n d M e di n a galloped about a mile and three-quarters. Eakring has been eased again ; his stable companion, Sealskin, did a mile and a half gallop nicely. Knight of the Garter and Hippie were walking and trotting; but Julius, Bowbastes, The Rake, The Her mit, and several other leading two-yr-olds took mile gal lops. Plund er , V espasise , Pl u tus, Problem, Delium, Water Cure, Cecrops, Janitor, Magician, Miss Harriett e , Toma hawk, Ch a p e l R O9 Bl, Whitby, Duke of York, Guinivere, Honiton, Cromwell, Ettrick, Verulam, Sunnylocks, Madile. Charolais, S u ltan, II Re Galantuomo, Paris, Peon, Slender, Claymore, Fitzroy, Breadalbano, and several others were also doing good work. FINDON. Rama has got into work again, but goes very steadily Potomac galloped two miles this morning, going very free, and looking uncommonly well. Sidawind is also at exer cise again, but in slow work only. Thalia went a mile and a half at a clipping pace ; and the rest of our horses aro in good health, and aro promising. MARLBOROUGH. The Flutter gelding took Bradainante, Pintail, the Split vote colt, and Dulcimer, two miles and a quarter this morning at a clipping .pace, the Cesarewitch favourite settling down to her work like a lioness, and getting through it brilliantly, her action being superb. If the Newmarket heath be only favourable ou the 9th of the ensuing month she is sure to run into a place, oven if she does not beat all comers. The Mayonaiso filly is still amiss. Adam Bodo was again walking. Nimble led Overture, Pussy, Bugler, and Overtonian a mile and three quarters. MALTON. Treasure Trove and the Lion were trotting only this morning, having been in physic.

A very interesting reunion was held yesterday at the London Tavern, the object of which was the important one of ascertaining whether our present very deficient supply of animal food might not be supplemented from the illimitable Pampas of South America. The object of meeting was stated by Mr. Paris, who explained that at a pre vious social meeting held in the London Tavern in November last the advantages of an invention for preserving meat fresh was tested, and was pro nounced to be successful. The inventors were Messrs. M'Call and Sloper and the process was the introduction of a certain gas, the nature of which is still the secret of the patentee, by means of which the meat was preserved fresh for any possible period. Armed with this invention, and provided with par cels of English beef cured according to the Sloper- M'Call process, Mr. Paris proceeded to Buenos Ayres, and at a public entertainment there con vinced all the local authorities that beef could be pre served perfectly fresh over the voyage to England. The government of Buenos Ayres, seeing the ad- I v antages that might accrue, gave Mr. Paris every facility for procuring the beef of the country, and it was some of this beef cured according to Mr. Can process that was served up at yesterday's luncheon. Before its introduction Mr. Paris stated very can didly thatthe experiment was made under unfavour able circumstances, the present year having been a very bad one for cattle in La Plata ; the agent of Messrs. Sloper and M'Call having fallen sick, and been obliged to communicate the curing process to him (Mr. Paris); and the local workmen having put the beef into pans of pine wood instead of that which had no flavour of turpentine. The meat, however, was prepared under the inspection of Messrs. Zim merman, the principal merchants of Buenos Ayres, and it now came before the London public, genuine South:American beef of the Pampas, and prese rve d solely by the process patented by Messrs. M'Call and Sloper. After this exordium, the luncheon, whichpuetoonn sisted exclusively of Buenos Ayrean beef, was the table in the various forms of ,roast, stewed, and in pies and puddings. The company ate heartily of the beef in all its varieties, and were unanimous in their approval of its freshness and flavour, giving, however, credit to Mr. Nicholls, the eminent chef of the London Tavern, who had taken care that it should be dished to the best advantage. The roast beef was very fine, quite as good as the filet de bceuf of the first class Paris tables d'hôte, and the stewed beef and puddings were admirable. There could be no doubt but that if imported extensively the La Plata beef, prepared according to the M'Call process, would be a most valuable addition to the food of London, especially as we can state, on the authority of Mr. Paris, that it couid be sold by retail over the counter at prices varying from 4d. to 6d. a pound, according to the capacity of the retailer. At the conclusion of the luncheon, cases of the „ w meat which had been imported from Buenos Ayres were opened in presence of the company, a nd appeared yes terday. It was, in f ac t, rea lly go od, succulent meat, and smelt as f res h as if th ey had been packed and was unhesitati ng ly pron o unced to be such by Mr. Warrener, the well -known preserver of fresh meat for the army. Th e importance of this pr ocess , as well as the labbperoocvuerrirangteda can hardly i a supply of thermv o when we recollect that two an d a half millions of labours ofMr. Paris black cattle have up to the present date be en annually killed in La Plata solely for the sake of their hides, the meat being left to the vultures, whilst we in this famine prices f or meat of not superior een quality. payin g At the clo se o f t h e pro ceedings, hae b resolution affirming the success of ito process was proposed by Mr. Ravolta, and assented to by general acclamation. war costa wish their died Go- has Re niral oard the San- new Val- rim= :had 9th. war, nish 1 on port UllO ►llao 503 pas- and ac ker, ) as oni her in.; -orn. ,ver 5rS. the ) to lab ,he 011 11a 100 100 100 all 100 100 ,100 100 2 100 •100 'MEN 104 105 103 105 100 981 f 93 21 ROI I
