AMERICAN LEEF IN ENGLAND Reportof the Amerlenn Consul at Nowease tle-on-Tyne. WasnineTon, D. C., Dee. 15,—The Consul of the Unitea States at Newcastlc-on-Tyve trans- 1nits to the Department of State a report upon the anlmal faod supply of the United Kingzdom, with special referonce to the importations from the United States. It appears from this report that, previous to 1842, exotic aniinal food was subject to a considerablo import duty, and wav confinedd to cured or salted meats and dalry produce. The foreien supply up to that year acarcely excoeded the quantity exported; the trade was chiefly carrled on with the colonies and dependencics of Urcat Hritaln, Since 1843, however, when free-trade measures were adopt- ed under Sir Rohert Pect's Administration, the people of the United-Kinmlom have, to a great extent, heeome dependent unon forefen eoun. tries for their sunolies of anfinal food, includ- ing tlesh-vielding Hve-stock, The fmportations of ilve-stock nto Great Brilain during 1873 were as follows: Estimated welghts, 2u,534,170 50, #48, 870 3 8,055,030 The transportation across the Atlantic of either live stork ur Tresh meat was little moro thun experimental until within tho present de- eade. Loss In most cases nttended such enter- prises through the death of '8 great proportion of the aulmals shipped and by the meat becoin g, by s putreiaction, sufit to be foud for man. Some of the evils attendlng the transit ot cattle from Ameriea” have, to n great extent, been mitigated during late years. Under this system tho anhinals are ket fu boxes or cages while contined in the hold, and aru holsted un deck for exercise and afr whenever the state of the weather may permit of it. By this means cattlo have = fre. quently ot late been cearried across the Atiantie with ittle or o n('rl'u‘ptlhlu deterforn- tlon of the condition in which thev were shipped fn Amerlen. But it must be borne n mind that thia improved mode of conveying cattle across the sca Involves great additiuial cost of frofghity and furthermore, during adverss weatlier the fmproved system becomes lmpracticable, and the old dangers and diswdvantages return. For rome years past the exportation of buteh- era' mieat Inita fresh state from Amerien into the British 1sles was frequently attempted, but with very uncertaln success. Last year (1870), however, the problem of how to obtain un un. Timited supply of this most important necessary of Iife to Great Britain was mort satislnctonly solved, The plan adopted for the preserva- tlon of thy wmeat fv o sound and sweet con- ditlon ia the speedy withdrawal of the animal ditlon ia the speedy withdrawal of th imal heat fmmedintely on the extinetion of the life from the aulmal,” Thia is acconplishied by o re- frigerating process at the temperature of 8% deg. to 40 dey.
