ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.
A further large amount of gold, namely £240,000,

was yesterday added to the stock of bullion held in
the Bank vaults. It is, therefore, presumed that the
total must now represent about £19,600,000; and
there is every probability that during the next few I S
days a further considerable accumulation will take
place. The present state of the Eastern and
continental exchanges prevents the expor-

tation. of specie ; and. there being no other
demand for the supplies that arrive from
Australia and New York, they are scut into the
Bank of England as the only available market for
their disposal. The stock of the precious metals is
now nearly equal to what it was in the early part

of 1853, when it will be remembered the rate of dis- si
count was 21 per cent. ; and it may be remarked
that the reserve of notes is considerably larger than s:
it was at that period. Many are, therefore, still of
Do

A. very limited amount of business has been

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. 'dd., an amount
Witten 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 15s. 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. 7d. The difference between the
receipts and the expenditure was made up by drawing upon
the vote for the extraordinary expenses of the Russian war.
THE NEW CAMEL Conrs.-The new Camel Corps
is thus described by an Allahabad correspondent of the
_Delhi Gazette :—" Last evening, the Governor-General,
w
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
(who 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 touch of the
guiding-string down would they drop on their knees, the
rifleman would be off in a second and go into skirmishing
order till the word of recall was issued,
when they would
shoot back to their places, remount, and almost simulta.-
nsDusly, 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 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, discovered,
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 knobkerries. She measures, from
floes to tip of tail, 6 foot 8 inches.—Cape Argun.

I.IJV INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

CLAILItt V• TILE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY
-IMPORTANT TO PERSONS TRAVELLING BY STEAM-

This was an action brought to recover the sum of £1
paid by plaintiff in excess of the fixed rates of travelling
charges on the journey from London to Edinburgh and
back.

Mr- Winkles represented the company.
Plaintiff stated that he and his son went on board the
company's boat going to Edinburgh, and when half over
tile journey he applied to the captain for a return ticket for
the two. He was informed by the captain that he had
no pcwer to grant return tickets, and he (plaintiff)
must pa? the full fare. The return tickets were 30s.
the double journey, and the single fares £1 each way.
Plaintiff had t:.`een in the habit of travailing by defendants'
Yarmouth boats, and then the captain had the power to
issue the return tickets. Mr. Winkles insisted that as the
company appointed an officer to issue the tickets prior to
the starting of the boat, it was plaintiff's duty to have taken
one of him. Again, plaintiff was directed by the bill issued
by the company to apply to the chief office, in Lombard-
street, to obtain berths and pay passage. The plaintiff had
gone half the journey before he applied for his
ticket. The journey to Yarmouth was 'a short passage,
and that to Edinburgh was a long one, and the company,
as a privilege to the public, sent a man on board to issue
return tickets. The captain had no power to do so.

.....
His Honour would like to know if a person came on
board in a little boat from Greenwich would he not get a
return ticket from Edinburgh?
Mr. Winkles—:Certainly not. It is the rule of the com-
pany not to issue return tickets after the sailing of the
vessel. In some instances the person authorised to issue
them has gone a short distance in the boat for the accom-
modation of the public.
His Honour always thought the captain the agent of the
company, and there was nothing on defendant's bill which
notified to the pOlic that they could" not get return tickets
from the captain. Passengers who had travelled by the
Yarmouth boais assumed that they could do so, and there-
fore his Honour would give a verdict for plaintiff. It would
be as well for the company, who greatly Accommodated the
public, to notify on their bills 'that the capi.ain could not
issue return tickets on the Edinburgh journey.
Mr. Winkles said the company were always satisfied
with his Honour's decision, and would adopt his advice.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.--(This Day.)

XEEPING DISORDERLY HORSES IN WESTMINSTER.
Edward Kelly, a man of about 45 years of age, pleaded
guilty to an indictment charging him with keeping certain
houses in King's Head-court, Westminster, for the pur-
poses of prostitution.
Mr. Bodkin, who appeared for the prosecution, said he
should call a few witnesses to prove the extent to which the
prisoner had carried on his detestable business.
Police-constable 100 B said—l' have known the court in
which the prisoner resided for a number of years. I
have frequently been called upon to quell disturh-
ances occasioned by the quarrelling of disorderly
prostithtes. The prisoner kept a number of houses in King's-
head-court, which he entirely devoted to the purpose of
prostitution. I have seen girls, between the ages of fourteen
and fifteen, go into them at all hours of the night with men.
I have also frequently seen women quarrelling with the
prisoner for harbouring and encouraging their children to
Come to his place.
By Mr. Metcalfe, who appeared for the prisoner—The
neighbourhood of the Broadway, Westminster, has for the
last ten years been getting worse and worse, but not more
so:than other parts of London--the Haymarket, for instance.
Women, all the time I have known the place, have been in
the habit of loitering about the top of the court, talking to
all sorts of persons. I have seen numbers of soldiers enter
the house kept by the prisoner.
By Mr. Bodkin7-The inhabitants residing in the vicinity
of the court have continually complained of the nuisance.
Police-constable Carr, 206 B, said—l know the defendant.
1 recollect' a man, one evening, complaining of having teen
robbed of his watch in one of his houses. I went to him
and asked him to lend me a candle to search for the missing
article. He refused, in a very abrupt manner, and when I
told him the house ought to be indicted, he used a very
obscene expression, and told me to get out as soon as I
could. I recollect a man coming to Kelly's house
to look for his daughter. He did not find her.
I watched the house all the next night, and I saw har go in
accompanied by three other girls. The father again called
for his daughter, and was very much enraged with Kelly for
harbouring his child, and complained that her clothes had
been changed for others of a tawdry description. When
the girl was going away, Kelly demanded money for the
two nights' lodging. _ _

Committed for a month.

MIDDLESEX STAKES.

By Mr. Metcalf—The houses are not common lodging-
houses—they are brothels of the lowest description. When
I went to the prisoner's house to look far the man's watch,
I had no need of calling ,the prisoner up, although it was in
the middle off the' night, He was -alwdys up, and wide
awake, (Laughter.) Whenever them was a row in the
court, the prisoner was amongst the first in the mob.
Mr. Young, leather seller, living in the Broadway, said
—I am one of the parties who have complained to the paro-
chial authorities with respect to the brothels kept by the
prisoner. I have seen Kelly and his wife standing at the
corner of the court, and afterwards enter several of the
houses. I have heard that the inhabitants have com-
plained of women having been seen in a state of
nudity dancing in the prisoner's room. Since the prosecu-
tion has been instituted the houses in King's Head-court
have been shut up, but I have heard that the prisoner
has lately given £7OO for two houses at the top of
York-street. For the last ten years the greatest
annoyance has been occasioned by the prostitutes frequent-
ing the houses kept by the prisoner.
The Prisoner How long do yod say I've kept the

houses ?
Witness—l don't know. I only know that for the time
I have mentioned the neighbourhood has been annoyed by
scenes of the greatest immorality.
Mr. Farrell, a native of Ireland, an inhabitant of King's
Head-court, said—l know the houses kept by the prisoner
too well. I have never had rest night or day for years.
(Laughter.) lam continually annoyed. Thieves, robbers,
greeks (laughter), and the scum of St.Giles' enter the houses
kept by the prisoner. It did not matter to him how bad
they were. He never inquired into their character. (Laugh-
ter.) He never asked for the marriage certificate—(laugh-
ter)—of the men and women who lodged in his house. 114
kept eight houses in the court, all of which he devoted to
the worst pirposes. Robberies, burglaries—(laughter)—
murders—(laughter)—and all bad things were done in
those houses. I have seen girls dancing in some of
the rooms in the same state in which they were born.
(Laughter.) I have also seen fathers and mothers come to
the prisoner and ask him for their daughters.
Mr. Metcalfe—l suppose you mean the jury to under-
stand you were disturbed in your bed.
Witness—Disturbed in my bed—rather ! (Laughter.) I
have had no rest for the last test years, for the robberies,
burglaries, and murders in the house. (Laughter.)
Mr. Metcalfe—You don't mean to say that parties have
been actually murdered in the house ? •
Witness—No, no one actually killed. (Laughter.)
Mr. Metcalfe—l suppose the principal cause which led
you to complain against the prisoner's house was that you
were annoyed by the young ladies ?
Witness—The young ladies, as you call them, don't in-
terfere with me. lam too old for that now ; but they might
have done so when I was a young man. (Laughter.) Oh,
no, the prisoner's a bad man. He's neither a soldier nor a
friend of his country. (Laughter.) He's a bad fellow, and
he look's it. He wants to be king of the court. How can
he wear a gold watch which ho has got, if he did not get it
by roguery ? (Laughter.) He's a bad man, and I am
sure he'll never see God Almighty. He's a bad fellow—a
bad fellow.
The witness then left the box loudly exclaiming against
the prisoner.
The learned judge said the prisoner had been guilty of
a misdemeanour, under very aggravated circumstances.
After remarking upon the wholesale and disgusting manner
in which the prisoner had carried on his detestable business
he sentenced him to pay: a fine of £lO and also .to be com-
mitted for six months to the House of Correction With hard
labour.
Sophia Jackson pleaded guilty to a similar indictment,
but the parish authorities did not press for a severe punish-
ment, because " she had frequently assisted the Scripture
Readers when they visited her locality, and had shut up
her house."
She was ordered to enter into her own recognizances to
come up for judgment when called upon.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day),

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A DANGEROUS MENDICANT.—Thomas Kelly, a deter-
mined beggar, dressed in a soldier's undress uniform, was
charged with begging and assaulting a constable.
Smith, 28 C, said that about seven last evening his atten-
tion was called to the prisoner by a gentleman who com-
plainedevery respectable person who
that he was annoying
passed him. He saw the prisoner go into a shop, strike the
floor with a stick which he carried, and demand relief,
saying he was " a poor soldier." He watched him a little
farther, and saw him go in front of two gentlemen, thrust
out his stick, and heard him cry out "halt," and ask for
relief. He then took him into custody, on which he threw
a handful of tracts into his face and gave him a violent
blow with the stick, and he was also very violent at the
station-house.
The prisoner, who formerly was a soldier, but was dis-
missed out of the regiment in consequence of his bad cha-
racter, and is one of a numerouz class of beggars who do not
ask relief but demand it, was committed for three months
with hard labour.
ASSAULT ON A DOCTOR Sheen Sheen was charged with
the following impudent assault on Mr. William Henry
Sherwood, M.D., of 5, Richmond-terrace.
Mr. Sherwood Said, on the previous night he was waiting
et the end of Oxford-street, with his little boy, for an'orani-

bus, when the prisoner came behiitd tn and deliberately
knocked his hat off, and kicked it into th e road. Taking it
as the act of a drunken woman, h e walk ed on, but .on its
being immediately afterwards repented, and knowing that
such things are often done for the purpose of causing crowds
to assemble for the purposes of robbery, on public grounds
he gave her into custody. _ _ _

A constable said she was drunk, and male 480 of very
bad language.

THE PASSPORT SYSTEM.—Mr. Victor, a manly-.looking
English gentleman, residing in Church-lane, IVb itechapel,
applied to Mr. Yardley for a recommendation for a, passport
to enable him and his -laughter to travel through France.
Mr. Yardley—ls there any one here who knows. you, Mr.
Victor ?

Mr. Victor referred to Mr. Johnson, of Jamriica-street,
Stepney, who stepped forward and said that Mr. Victor was
a most respectable man.

Mr. Yardley—lle don't look much like a nonspirator.
(A laugh.) Are you known to any one here, Mr. Johnson'?
Mr. Johnson looked round the court, and no one recog—
nised him.

Mr. Yardley—You are only known to the unknown 111:r.
Victor, and I cannot comply with your request. Do yoga
know this gentleman, inspector ?
Inspector Griffin, of the K division, replied in the nega-
tive.

Mr. Victor put into the hands of the Magistrate several
letters and documents, which he said would prove he wars
the person he represented himself to be.
Mr. Yardley had no doubt the applicant was a most re-
spectable man, and that neither he nor his daughter intend ed
to visit France with any hostile intentions towards the rul-
ing authorities, but he must have a recognition from sorae
one known to him or the officers of the court, or otherwise
his functions would be a mere farce.

Mr. Victor—lt is only a little girl who is about to vi sit
France that I require a passport for.
Mr. Yardley—We are called upon to do a particular duty,
and we must do it effectually, and I cannot give you, a
passport until I know who you are. Are you a Briti
Fh
subject ?

Mr. Victor—l am, sir, and was born in Lincolnshire.
Mr. Yardley—Very well; inquiries shall be made about
you. I suppose you don't want my certificate directly?'
Mr. Victor—Yes, sir ; I want to apply at the Fore'ign-
office for a passport this day.
Mr. Yardley—Very well, sir ; an officer shall accompr ny
you to Whitechapel, and when you are recognised by- any
respectable person known to the officer, come back 'with
him, and I will give you the document you require.

Mr. Victor bowed and retired with Howland, an, officer
of the court.
