England is shipping her Fenian convicts
to Australia, and on October Sd sent fifteen
of them from Chatham to Western Austria

victs accompanied them. The Fenian con-
victs, like the remainder of the prisoners,

MUrToN.-Hon. Daniel Webster kept
on his farm in Marshfeld, from sixty to
hundred sheep, chiefly for their meat.
His selections embraced the South
downs and the Leicesters. .. Il
On one occasion Mr.. Webster remark
ed, how little the great mass of Ameri-
cans cared for mutton as food, while in
England the people generally esteem it
the very best of butchers meats. He
said he believed one reason to be, that
the English mutton in general was bet
ter than ours. "You may occasionally" )"
he said, ''tind good mutton in Albany,
New York and Philadelphia-but in
England you find no bad mutton"
A sheep, according to Mr.. Webster,
should never be killed for the table be-
fore it is three years old. A lamb, in
deed, may get nearly its full growth at
a year and a half, or twenty months,
and become very fat, and this is the
age at which they are usually sold for
the shambles; but such early mutton
is not delicately mixed, the lean with
the fat. 1t shrinks in boiling, and when
cut upon the table, it fills the dish with
white gravy. Mutton two years older,
though no fatter, will have a much
higher flavor, the muscles and the fat
being mixed, and when thoroughly cook
ed will fill the dish with red gravy. .
SOMETHING New IN RAILRoADING.-
The Essener Zeitung contains the fol
lowing: .....
"The project of the Rhenish Railway
Company to introduce the nine inch
rail on their line, instead of the five
inch rail hitherto in use, is of such i'm
portance foc all persons connected with
the railway interest that it has created
the greatest excitement, and everything
connected with it is narrowly watched
by all civil engineers for, should it
succeed, it will solve the long debated
problem of the possibility of doing away
with sleepers altogether, which are be
coming every year dearer and dearer.
To the Rhenish Railway Company the
credit is, at all events, due Of being
first in the field to give the new system
a fair trial. The nine inch rails rest
upon a bed of plates, and are then
covered with five inches OF gravel, on
the top of which is a two inch layer of
earth, well stamped down so that the
head of the rail projects only an inch
above the surface. The two lines of
rails are connected every three feet by
round bags Of iron firmly bolted to the
rails below the surface, so that the
whole forms enc sompact body, and
may be compared to ladder lying on
tho Ground half burriad in If This
mode of construction is said to afford
qnite as great security as the present
system of underground sleepers.
