New MODE OF PRESERVING MEAT.-
Gallignanis Messenger, ,f Paris, says
there is now project before the Empe-
ror and minister of War, for the driving
of meat in South America, where it can
be had at about one sou per pound, ard
importing it from thence for the use of
the army and navy. The process is thus
described:
1--WE have seen some specimens Of meat
dried ia Paris, and which at the expira-
ton Of five months were perfectly sweet
and good. The process on which the
Government has now TO give a decision
is simple and apparently eficacious. The
water OF the meat, which forms very
large portion of its bulk, is removed, not
by heated air, which has been frequently
tried, and never with success, but BY
mechanical means: f: the meat is then
plunged into kind of varnish made from
the gelatinous portions of the snimal, and
which not only forms hard surface, but
also enters into the pores of the meat and
angmentS the nutrition, and then the meat
* gradually dried. In about fifteen days
It's fit for packing, and will. according
w ~ Vic dSoCttiUli VI
good for two or three years. When re-
quired for use, the meat is put for few
minutes into water, and it nearly resumes
its original bulk, and is cooked in the or
binary way. Ifit be true that meat thus
prepared will keep for two or three years,
or even for one year, the adoption Of the
process will produce an enormous change
in the economy of subsistence. In South
America, it can be prepared at about two
sous per pound, including every cost.
AS it is reduced in bulk about one-half,
the cost of transport would not exceed
one SOU, and it could be sold in Frarce,
with profit of 25 per cent, at four sous
per pound. South American meat is not,
perhaps, equal in quality to that raised
in France, but even supposing it to be in-
ferior to the extent of 90 per cent, the
working classes and the poor would have
an abundant supply Of a2imal food"

A Reform IN THE SPANISH ARMY has

A REFORM IN THE SPANISH ARMY has
been commenced by the new Minister,
General 0Donnell. tits already decreed
that, in order to reduce the excessive num-
Der ofgeneral officers, in future only one
out of every three vacancies is TO be filled,
and the 3s promotions of Brigadiers and
Mai. Generals previously ordered is to be
limited to ten. This is a very good be
ginning, and it seems by the Madrid
Epocha that it is to be vigorously fol-
lowed up by other reforms, such as the
suppression of unnecessary ranks, the
reduction of the strength of the army.
the permanent designation Of uniforms
for all the corps, SO as to prevent con-
tinual changes consequent upon the
whims and jobbing propensities of In
spectors, Generals, &c. He also pro-
poses to submit to the Cortes law pro-
viding that certain grades can be won
only on the field of battle; that no one
can become general without having first
given proofs Of capacity as Colonel of .
regiment. As many impediments as pos
sible are to be thrown in the way of the
attainment of grades by pronunciamentos
or rev olts. These regulations are wise
and salutary, and reflect credit on the
S, ,atesnanship of the new ministers. But
they are probably devised as much for
economical purposes as for those Of re-
form. The Spanish treasury is, in fact,
bankrupt, in consequence of the ruinous
extravaganza and peculation Of the late
ministers, and the present government is
put TO its wits end for resources. Every
general officer cut of is SD much saved to
The treasury. So also Of the expense for
new uniforms, etc.

sentence, attired in common Jail dress,
his head shaveD, and he was set upon the

He is locked up at six every evening, and
rises in the morning at six. He is, how

his servant man attends him, and he is
permitted to supply himself with food.
