FROZEN FISH.

The success of the Australian frozen meat has developed another Colonial industry o£ a similar Mnd. England is in future to be supplied with frozen salmon from the coasts of Labrador. The royal iish of those waters is little inferior to the best from the Severn or Spey. We hare long had plenty of it in tins; now it is to be supplied by the Hudson's Bay Company in its real freshness and purity. There is nothing -wild or impossible in the scheme. To convey fish in the ice-closet has been for years the practice with the ocean-going Atlantic steamers, and passengers on tbo voyage homewards, when the chip has been fifteen clays out from England, have found on the table fresh fish bought in Billingsgate weeks before. The Bell-Colernan and the Haslam processes are merely a large development of the old practice, and their adoption is certain to bring about a great transmission of fish fi'om place to place. Australians were eager to taste the salmou which the Orient took out to the Antipodes on the first return voyage. They can now count on a regular supply, not of this succulent fish alone, but of chad andlblue-fish and other American luxuries, to say nothing of the finer products of our own English watera. —Homo News.
