Our army Expenses.

In the course Of the debate in tic
Senate fow days ago upon tho Army
Appropriation Bill, there was somo
in,crcoting discussion in reference to
the cost of maintaining our army, as
compared with that Of England
Schat6r Casserly charged that the
army was too expensive; that it cost
about s, 900 per man, and that while
the i nied States Army Of between
$4,000 and 10000 men cost accord.
ing to tho appropriations in the Bill,
between twenty.nine and thirty mil
lions Of dollars, the British army Of
100000 men cost but seventy mil
lions Of dollars, which was an average
Of only $233 per man. In other
words, England supported four sol.
diers for what it cost Ito United
States to support one.

MYSTERIOUS Occurrence al Sen.
There is n little vessel in Gibralt;

There is little vessel in Gibraltar
whose recent history is even still more
mysterious than t. :: Of the Mur,llo,
and Perhaps similarly trasical to that
Of the Northnect. The Mary Celeste,
an Aucrioali brig lu,isie, was allen
in with by British vessel some 400
miles east Of the Azores, and brought
Ivy her to Gibraltar in Dec. l3. When
discovered she was under foremost
sail aud lib, anil Under this ligh' can.
vass she had been pursuing her way
for ten days, without n soul on board
tho last entry On the ships log being
on Nov. 9Th, No other papers we're
found on board manifest, bills of
laling, every document which could
have thrown any light upon the his.
tory of the derclict had been rcmov-
cd and up to the present time,
though the irquiry is still going on,
not the slightest clue has accn traced
to account for the descrion of the
vessel, and even conjecture Sat fault.
The cargo, consisting Of barrels of
spirits, is untouched, with the excep-
tiou of ono cdsk which had started.
There arc no signs of the vessel hav.
ing suffered from bad weather in any
single respect, tho most minute cx,
animation having failed to detect any
injury above water or below it. a
liarmonium in the captains cabin and
the music books are all III their i'laccs
untouched by salt water. n little
phial of oil was still standing by a
sewing machine, and reel OF cation
and thimtlc had not yet rolled off
the table. Nor had the cabin been
plundercd, for it's contents, belonging
to lady and child, were Of consia-
cradle value. a sword was in its
scabbarl rusty, and with marks Of
blood having been wiped OFF. There
arc mail lis like sharp cuts Oh the top
gallant rail, and on both sides of the
vessels bows, which appear to have
been done on purpose whether this
points to any act Of violence, and with
what motive committcd-why the
vessel was left under sail, or, III the
apparent absence either Of plundcr
