A Dinner OF Horse-Meat.

Tie following note, from an American gentle
man travelling in Europe, gives some account
of dinner at which he ate horse-meat, not
so greatly TO his own disgust as might be sup
posed:-
"STUTTGARD, March 26, 1851 dIned yester-
day with the society for the Protection of AMI
mails oD the occasion of their animal banquet.
The society availed themselves OF this occasion
to prove to the public that horsehesh is de-
srable addition TO the meats now in use, and Is
SO cheap and nourishing that efforts should be
made to bring it into use. We had it served
and cooked in different ways, and having eaten
it in each shape Tin fact, dlned altogether from
it, can speak knowingly OF its merits.
tWe nrst had JLet de cheudt.
"This was well cooked, and was tender and
Juicy, and do not think that, If it were placed
Side by side with flet de O9ut, one person in a
dozen could tell the difference.
''The next dish was tongue OF horse. This
was dry, not fat hard, and had disagreeable
flavor, Something resembling the smell OF harts.
horne. Its hardness may have been the tauit OF
the cook, but it was entirely wanting IN the
melting tenderness that is the excellence OF
beef tongue.
Next came O roast horse; this was again
very good, well favored aud juicy. The animal
was seVen-vear old horse, not tat ened or pre-
pared in any way. In fact, beef or mutton as
lean as this horsefesh was, would think, have
been 100 dry TO be eatable. If the prejudice
could be overcome, our tat Tom or Charley"
would furnishieed tor the summer. w. 9. p"

says:-iWe have been requested TO draw alten-

The hat measures twenty-seven inches in length,
twenty-five inches in breadth, and is twelve
inches deep; not only large enough to protect
the head against sunstroke+-its avoWed pur-
pose-but sufficiently large and buoyant, we
should imagine, to serve as a canoe on occasions
of emere ency. We commend 1t to the consdera-

In the United States Court yesterday, q
decision was rendered on the demurrer and
motion for an injunction in the case oil II
Meyer and others against the Milwaukee
and Prairie du CHEN Railroad. This was
q bill filed by the preferred stoc,. holders
against the corporation, to enjoin the exc
cution Of bonds and mortgages intended to
be issued under the act Of the last legisla.
ure, known as Senate bill No. 81. The
bonds enjoincd were to have been issued
to take up the preferred of the COMPANY.
and the Court decided that the corporation
could not lawfully issue bonds for such an
object, and that the legislature could not
constitutionally confer upon the company
power to do so against the will Of any Of
the holders Of the preferred stock. 1t was
held that the holders OF stock who should
accept such bonds would thereby acquire
Il lien prior to those who declined to accept
1t, which priority would be contrary to the
equality established by the original articles
at association. The amount of mortgages
to be executed was over six millions of dol.
lars part Of the bonds we're to be used
in the construction of the Monroe and Du
buque railroad, and an injunction was moi
asked or ordered against those.
The effect OF this decision is to mvalidate
