ARMY AND NAVY EXPENDITURE IN 1857.—
Detailed accounts were issued yesterday of the receipt and
expenditure for navy and for army services for the year
ended 31st of March, 1857. The expenditure of the navy in
1856-57, amounted to £14,664,091 4s. 10d., while the par-
liamentary grants for that service amounted to £16,568,614,
thus showing a surplus of receipts over expenditure of
£1,904,100 6s. 9d. after deducting £432 Bs. 5d., an amount
Mitten off as irrecoverable from naval defaulters. In
eleven of the items of expenditure the outlay was
£2,493,139 15s. 7d. less than the original estimate; in
the seven other items of which the expenditure is composed
the outlay exceeded the original estimate by £588,607 Os. sd.
The army and militia expenditure for the same year reached
£21,114,210 los. Bd., whereas the sum granted. by Parlia-
ment for the service was only £20,478,034. In 14 items
the actual expenditure was £556,605 less than the grants
but in the other seven items of the account the grants were
exceeded by £1,192,782 Os. 7cl. The difference between the
receipts and the expenditure was made up by drawing upon
the vote for the extraordinary expenses of the Russian war.
TurNEw CAMEL CORPS.—The new Camel Corps
is thus described by an Allahabad correspondent of the
Delhi Gazette :—" Last evening the Governor-General,
Commander-in.-Chief, and suite, were out on the maidan re-
viewing the Camel Corps, about 400 of these ungainly
beasts going through military evolutions. It was a novel
and curious spectacle to see these animals performing, almost
all the movements of cavalry. Besides the native driver
kwho is of course armed) there is on every camel a hardy
Briton who occupies the back seat, and is quite in a
position to use his rifle. The camels are well trained
to the word of command. On a recognised
knees,
hosf the
guiding-string down would they drop on their _ th:
rifleman would be off in a second and go into skirmishing
till the word of recall was issued, when they would
shoot back to their places, remount, and almost &ranks-
neously, like a brown mass growing out of the ground,
Would the camels regain their feet (so to speak) in their
own awkward mode—that is first their hinder parts and
then their long stretching necks I You can fancy what a
rare scene the whole was."

.A TIGRESS IN A TRAP.—A full-grown tigress
was killed on Thursday, on the farm of Mr. W. van Oudt-
shoorn, Witteboomen, Constantia. One of Mr. van Oudt-
shoorn's men having sustained much injury in his garden
by porcupines, placed a trap in a bush about 40 yards from
his pondok. The following morning, his wife going to see
Whether anything was caught, found the chain broken and
the trap gone ; when she, following the spoor, discover&,
about ten yards from there, the trap with a tigress in it, on
which she gave alarm. Mr. van Oudtshoorn, with his gun,
two hounds, and four men proceeded to the spot ; but be-
fore he could shoot the animal, the men (being in advance)
despatched her with their knobkenies. She measures, from
nose to tip of tail, 5 feet 8 Lucile/4-014 •drvo.
