In regard to these,sad Mr. Wice, the cattle and sheep on arrival at Loodon or L.verpool, are put into the “reception lair” oo the “Foreign Avimals Wharf.” Toey must be killed within ten days after the landing, exciusiveof the dey of landing.

The meat killed in America snd sold in this one market in one season amounting te 75,890 tons, in Australia $3,831 tons. This will give Patriot readers come idea of the meat consumed in London.
