The onvcrjion ot the llesh of the horse and of he ass into human lood, or, literally, horse :atinsr and nss eating. On this point, tben. arises the dilemma 'To be, or not tbe?" Philosophy lias already assumed the positive; but Prejudice is all powerful, and covers the pepative as witn a snieia. What, we may ask, is the character of the ijeod thus proposed for our use ? The records t tle past snow, that at a very early period J he flesh ol the horse and of the ass has not jbnly been considered lit for man's food, but lias also in some instances come under the "jpateory of a luxury. Many nations of an tiquity are said to have eaten the flesh of both animals. In Persia, the horse was com mon lood, and the wild ass prized, not only lis an object of chase on account of its fleet pees, but also tor the delicacy of the flesh which made it a luxury even at royal tables; Hind Xenophon tells us, that the army of the Vmnger Cyrus, when marching through Meso potamia, caught several wild asses, and found Vir flesh to resemble that ol the red deer, ly moie tender. But to come nearer to our n selves, it is well known that the Danish liabitants of Northumberland were fond of rselieeh, which thy devoured in groat antitiee. Not, however, to rausack the past lien our object is to come to the present boo, we may be tolerably well assured of is that among many people, both ancient id modem, even if the flesh of these auimals as not always an ordinary article of food, rat when an occasion of scarcity arose both ippoplmgy aiid Onophagy were resorted to, nd.we may assume, with obvious advantage. Has this occasion now arisen? is the next . uestion. It is quite certain that, for some ears past, the demand for meat has greatly xtended in this country, owing to the more triple means of the people to make use of it Js food. This Is a simple fact, for as a well inown writer has observed lately : ''The ause of high-priced meat is not wholly in olved in the supply; there is also a gradual lcreased demand in proportion to our na onal prosperity." And then he adds : "If e first g'ance at our mining importance, it most staggers belief. Glancing only at the nglc county of Cornwall, and its 30,030 per ons daily employed in its mines to say othing of the human ant-hills ot industry riscmbowelling the earth of its riches in the Meet and North of England, Scotland, and iWales.

It evident from this statement that the present ant is not to be looked upon as temporary, Id tractable to the cat le plague only, but a padily spreading difficulty which must be Sldlj met, If we would avoid the evil of want id its usual concomitants disease and lath. irhat objections should be made to this ap- cation or a lood hitherto only looked upon fit for the canme and lelme races kne is only natural, ana aoaa ana tao- bs may have, perhaps, to rue ttas day" of fch conversion of horseflesh.

The dia gue of the dogs was to this effect: "Well, oby. what do you think of this new inven- on?" Toby promptly answers, "Why, I link we shall have meat cheap." It would, ideed, be 6trange, if no w mutatis mutandis man, and not the dog, should find his food cheapened through the economy of horse flesh. The example has already been set In jmany parts of the world .

For upwards of nine years previous to bis decease, the late Monsieur Geoffroy St. 4 Iiilairc, the eelebratod naturalist, had been 1 endeavoring to combat the national preju- dice against the use of horseflesh A9 human Ifood; and it is Owing, no doubt, in a great measure to his exertions that the sale of it as now been legalized in trance; but it is nly by degrees that this has been done, as me experiments were necessary as a pre- inary step ; and hence we find in lwi, in accouu o1 a ,ea8t given at Algiers, a con- HaiI.i niimw men public functionaries, uperlor military officers, 18' ana clergy. ,aru)OK oi a granu oauquet in Tuw he theatre, the greater part of the ilisnJ 01 hlch were com posed ol horse and ass flesh : the Annt nf traHirtcr lin thfl IpflRt.

PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1866. a slaughtered for these establishments without h a certificate from the yeterlnarj' surgeon of the police, fcuch a precaution, however necessary as to horseflesh, would be advan tageous equally with regard to both beef and mutton, if the example was followed in this country, for it is not always easy to detect unwholesome flesh got up for the market, but any disease In an animal could hardly escape detection. In 1804 the same Monsieur Derrolx delivered a lecture at the Garden of Acclimatization of the Bois de Boulogne, on the alimentary use of horseflesh. After showing, by official data, that the supply of butcher's meat ol all kinds, which Is so neces sary to support the strength of man and enable bun to bear fatigue and avert disease, Is not equal to the demand, he proved that if the flesh of disabled horses was Introduced Into public consumption, it would increase the present supply of meat by at least one twelfih, and that in Paris especially, It might daily produce upwards of two thousand six hundred kilogrammes of good meat, even ad mitting that one third of the horses slaughtered were ejected on account of their diseased state, a proportion which he considered ex aggerated. M. Decrolx reminded the audience that the illustrious Larrey, in the course of his military career, had three times prescribed the use of horseflesh for his patients; and that in Egypt especially, he bad, by the use ot this aliment, stopped a scorbutic affec tion which had broken out in the army. More recently, in the Crimea, two companies of artillery bad lived entirely on the flesh cf unferviceable horses, and thereby escapsl the diseases which aflllc'ed the rest of the army; and at Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Altona, and other towns, horseflesh is eaten not only by the lower orders, but by all classes of society. In fcie Independence Beige the following account is given ot an extraordinary banquet of horseflesh which took place early last year in Paris: "The courses were numerous, and in neaily all of them this strange delicacy was served, up in various forms. Alter the dinner several toasts were proposed. M. de Quatrefages, the President, opened the proceedings by calling on the company to drink to the memory of the late Monsieur Geoffroy St. Iiilairc, the apostle of llippophagy. Monsieur Decroix, in response to the health of the veterinary medical profession, declared that all the horses whose flesh had been eaten at this dinner were old and miserably thin beasts, from fourteen to eighteen years of age, and that none of them had cost more than forty francs, and one as little as eighteen francs. Immense applause folio Wfd this announcement; for it was considered that if such aged horses pro duced such good meat, what might not bo expected from five or? six year olds? M. Homon, of the fays, put in the claims of the ass and of the mule to the honors of the cuisine. M. Barral, who proposed Public Education, recommended it as the means of dispelling prejudice and repugnance from the notion of hnrse-eating; and M. Georges Bell, ol the Presse, said that horseflesh was . no novelty. All who partook ot this singular meal are said to have been perfectly satisfied, many ot them having never bafore tasted it." It is some satisfaction to flod from this state ment that age does not detract from the quality of the flesh, for it must be clear that rarely any but aged hoises would be thus made use of. Nor does leanness act as ai impediment where good cookery does its work, so that it younger animals were dished up with equal skill, it is only natural to sup pose that the flavor would be more exquisite. Tiuly the hippophaglsts maybe right after all, and if so, good by, alas 1 to the roast beef of Old England. But some may say conscientiously con sidering the law as laid down by Moses shall we not bring upon ourselves divers maladies aud disorders by flying la the tare ot a positive command? Seeing that neither the horse nor the ass chews the cud nor divides the hoof lor to the e points alone Is the use of flesh limited according to Mosaic law. It might be urged in answer that the vision of bt. Peter would seem decisive for setting aside any prejudice which the old law might suggest. But as this passage is simply oneirophantic, it may be argued that the law waB not annulled by it. But when the subject ol meats was discussed, as it appears to have been by the earlyjGeutile convert, the flit put forth was "to abstain from meat offered to idols, and from blood, and from thiugs strangled." Those, however, who would scripturally object to the use of horseflesh must not forget that we offend already in eating the flesh of the pig, which Is, and always has been, a national food, to say nothing of the claw-footed bear ; the hare and rabbit are also prohibited; and what shall we say It, leaving the earth tor the waters, we j 1 . 1 1 , j 1 1. iiou among ionics miuiuucu iub iuuowi. crab, prawn, and shrimp. Oyster-eaters beware. And oh I ye lovers ot the luscious eel and lamprey, your unscaly aliment must be left uneaten. Truly an appalling cate gory of outcasts 11 strictly maintained. It is well then not to scan these things too curi ously. The horse anJ the ass are at all events clean-feeding animals in themselves, which is more than can be said of many which we treelv devour, and if we have abstained from these hitherto, it is owine perhaps that the dire necessity ol a diminished supply ot ordi nary food has not as yet been severely felt. But we are now dealing with facta which admit neither of doubt nor con cealment. Our consamotion of flesh Is greater than it was formerly, aud Is gradually increasing, and there is ostensibly no means of mee ing the demand. The cattle plague has, ot course, increased the difficulty of pro viding meat for the population, but, indepen dent of that contingency, if we compare the number of the people of these Islands with the number of animals used as ordinary food, the disproportion as regards a sufficiency of sup ply will be apparent. Taking the whole population at thin; muuons. 199 punier 01 cattle is stated to be in all e'ght millions', 61 sheep forty millions, and of pigs four millions three hundred thousand, or a total of fifty two millions three hundred thousand. If to these are added the importations of last year, one million three hundred and,thirty thousand three hundred and eighty-lour, it brings up the amount to fifty-three millions six hundred and thlrtj thousand three hundred and eighty fonr that Is, there would not be two animals each for all it all were slaughtered at once, and this supply lasting only for a limited pcrtoa, JVet e wouid fce none left. This sim ple etdtetncbb will show that, under any cir cumstances, w are far from having a sufficiency at any time, and still less if disease should ever thin the scanty quantity, as has now been the casojweare thus left with a hiatus not only much to be deplored, but difficult to be filled up. There remains, then, scarce any other alternative than that of following the example of our conti nental ne ighbors. The flesh of the horse and of the ass is palatable in itself. It possesses higher powers of nourishment than beef or mutton, upon the authority of Llebig, and the only objection to its introduction is the pre- Iudice which is felt against it ; but many, per laps, are not aware that they have ere now unconsciously partaken of the unwonted delicacy. The tongue of every horse killed in the metropolis is pickled and preserved, anddoes the duty of the ox tongue even at the banquets of the great; and there is more than a Mieplc'on that dried reindeer's tongues, so temptingly called, are nothing but the lingual appendages of the horse. And per haps many of the savory productions sold in the shops under their coverings of paste are not altogether innocent ol the equine element., so that in going the whole horse people would only be charging the name, not the Ihcre is one other consideration which may have its weight In the matter, and that is the very different treatment the horse would undergo at the termination of Its animal career. At present the fate of the noble beast, as we are pleased to call it, Is one of permanent decadence. The high mettled racer, the thorough-going hunter, in the prime of their existence are no doubt petted and caressed, but as tt elr powers wane, or should any accident overtake them, they are forthwith consigned to the dally drudgery of the 'bus or the cab, until at length, worn out and exhausted, they await their inevitable lot, the horrors of the knacker's yard. How different the life of their bovine compeer I Cared for and caressed from his birth, his wants ministered to with studied attention through his calfbood, ho walks the Qcld3 at his leisure, and chews the cud of bis inglorious ease; his food Is made savory to tempt his appetite, and he lives his short life In peace, awaiting only the final stroke that at once puts an end to bis exist ence. And why this diversity ot fate r Beet is tho food of man. Horseflesh cat and doar meat; elevate the flesh of the horse to the same destination, and what a change would come over bis latter end! For while patting with pride his soft sleek pkin. We should think of the future steak within" no longer rejected by man Instead ol the slow torture of his last period of life, as his flesh would increase in value, so would he receive more attention. When no longer fit for work, he may yet be fatted up lor bis master's table, and end his useiul career, having first ministered to tho wants and 1 leasures of man, by at length layincr dowti his life for his sustenance.
