We lived on it in the lonio and it was excellent, I enjoyed the oold beef at lunch eTery day more than anything, and the mutton cannot bo beaten. 1 am convinced that many a man at home eats it under the itupressiun that he is eating English mutton, The prejudice, I believe, however, is getting le3a. Only the other day a gentleman's coachman, who was driving me (he happened to be living at his bouse finding himself), said he had a delicious dinner last Sunday off a leg of New Zealand frozen mutton, and that he liked it better than the English mutton; that there was a shop in Abingdon, within a few miles of him, and he generally got a ■ joint every week; and that people are beginning to appreciate it, I have no fear as to the future of tbid trade, or of New Zealand, if we only have a decont Government."
