The importation ofj dead meat in 1881 was 6,831,000 cwt ;, and in 1882 it was 7,567,000 cwt, thej largest quantity yet received.

The shipment of live hogs from New York to England has been entirely discontinued. A correspondent of the Daily News who has lately seen Cetewayo in Zululand writes as follows “ Cetewayo said he was grateful to the English for letting him out of captivity, but very sore at heart be--*cause his country had been so much cut up. He says it will lead to trouble and complications before long, and he is quite' right. The Zulu nation does not seem to understand why the English return Co+ewayo and then divide Zululand and put it under so many rulers. They say, * Why, Cetewayo is the Queen’s son. To whoto will the country belong that is now being cut oil?' : The Zulus as a nation wish Cetewayo to rule over them. Of course • there are, in every country, a few who are dissatisfied, but these are in a very small minority. It is true that in many places - the Zulus were frightened from meeting Cetewayo. Rumors ware spread by. unscrupulous rascals. One of them ‘ went, as follows: ‘lt is not Cetewayo 1 -whom the English are returning, but an image. Don’t meet him, you Zulus, for ’itis a traprlaid for you. The English want yon to come in numbers, so that they may capture and send you to India, and sell wives and children, and cattle, etc. ’ ”
