Extraordiuary Meat PreseryalIon.

Iron the New York Sun, March Al
On Monday evening about fifty gen
tlemen assembled at the Everett House
at the invitation of Prof. John Gamgee,
of London, to apply the test of the pal
ate to the results of q new process in
vented by him for the preservation OF
meats The party on being ushered
into the dining room found neat re-
past before them, and among their
dishes, as set forth IN the bill of fare,
mutton in various styles served up
from carcasses slaughtered three and
four months ago. This mutton coming
from England, was no doubt of choice
quality; but all seemed to admit that
il was sweet and palatable, lacking
only, perhaps, the lively, juicy flavor
of tie fresh article. The color of the
flesh when cooked is strongly pink,
which, however, soon fades on expos
ure to the atmosphere.
After the viands had been disposed
of, Prof. Gamgee arose, and with a
few predatory remarks, described the
process of preserving the meats which
had Just been eaten, together with the
objects in view which had led him to
make his experiments. The process is
briefly as follows: fs
A close bag containing carbonic
oxide gas is thrown over the head Of
the animal to be slaughtered, when
partial asphyxia quickly ensues The
animal is bled to death, and bleeds
we'll. The body is then hastily dressed,
and, while still warm, the parts to be
preserved are placed IN an air.tight
iron case, into which carbonic oxide
gas is introduced. A small compart-
ment connected with the case contains
charcoal, which has already absorbed a
certain quantity of sulphurous acid
gas. These materials penetrate the
fibre of the flesh, and arrest fermenta-
ton and decomposition. The special
province of the snlphurous acid gas is
to combine with every particle of the
oxygen in the remaining air, and thus
render the case practically air-tight. f.
The Professor stated that the presence
of a considerable degree Of heat .would
be no detriment to the process, and
hence it could be successfully complet-
ed in warm climate. The design. is to-
bring the vast cattle region of South
America and Australia at the doors of
the populous cities of the world. For
the present. operations looking to a
full test of Professor Gamgee's process
will be conducted in Texas, where a
marketable steer is valued at about
80 It is said, by the way, that the
Texan beef is of superior quality, ow-
ing mainly to the peculiar juices of the
mezquit grass of that region.
1t ought to be mentioned that not
only all kinds of meats, but fish,
fruits, &C., according to the Professor,
can be preserved in like manner.

the WARFARE OF TEE ST. Louis Police
ON GAMBLING HoUsEs.-The St Louis
Democrat of Friday has the following:
"The war of the police on the gambling
houses goes bravely on. The enemy still
hold out, b1t with reduced numbers and a
scanty supply Of ammunition. The splendid
mahogany furniture, ivory chips, and solid
silver faro boxes that formerly adorned
the den of the tiger have been reduced to
ashes by the irrepressible raiders, and 10
their stead are rough pine tables, clay
ships, and tin boxes. Since Capt. Kohl.

and his party entered by back door, but
the gamblers had fled by some secret pas
sage, and the only prisoners captured
were two young men from the country,
two colored men, and Obey's little black
and tan dog. The appearance of the
room showed that the gamblers had left
in great haste Chairs were upset, chips
scattered on the floor, and the faro box
and s27 in money remaided in the drawer.
The dealing-table was an old greasy pine
kitchen table, covered with piece of dark
cloth. The property taken was of small
value. The two men from the country
were released, and told to go home and be
good boys. The raiders next made a des-
cent upon the keno house at the corner Of
Fourth and Elm. KOhlbund entered at the
front portal and Gore at the rear. About
30 gaml lers were surprised and sent to the
calaboose. The furniture was of the
cheapest kind. The tables were rough
pine, and the keno box was made of cedar
and the cards were of a cheap kind. The
table was spread, and the supper was
nearly ready. Capt. KOhlbund, on enter
ing announced that ''keno was correct,

A SINGULAR ACCIDENT from burning
fluid occurred in New York on the 22d
inst. 1t is thus recorded: ~
Coroner Schirmer yesterday held an
inquest on the. body of Frederick W.
Efberling, who was employed as assist
ant engineer at the Gramercy Park Ho-
tel. On the 18th inst., Elberling was
directed to thaw out.a frozen gss-pipe,
by applying cloths which had been
stepped In boiling water. Instead Of
doing this he took lighted candle and
a can of alcohol, aud pouring some of
the alcohol on the pipe, set fire to it.
The fire communicated to the can of
alcohol, which exploded, and the burn
iug fluid was scattered over Eibefling,
burning him severely. He then leaped
into large tub TO extj1guish the flames,
but unfortunately turned on the hot
water instead of cold, fatally scalding
himself.
