MEAT IN SAILING SHIPS.
A London correspondent says : Next to ths mysterious departure of Sir Julius Vogel, the great event of the fortnight lias been the arrival of the Albion Shipping Go’s vessel Dunedin with the first consignment of frozen meat from New Zealand. This shipment, which consists, of no fewer than 5000 carcases, has proved in fine condition and realised excellent prices, although the Dunedin was 98 days at sea and experianced great heat in the tropics. The Bell-Coleman Refrigerating Company, under whose superintendence the venture has been brought to a success-ful-issue, are naturally very proud of it and will agree with them that “ this is the most remarkable instance of what can be accomplished by mechanical refrigeration.” The Times devoted a long leader to the subject, and Sir Dillon Bell also wrote a letter to the Times.
