WHITE CAMEL.  A very interesting addition has been made during the past week to the Zoological Gardens. On the 27th May Major Frank Graves, of the 20th Hussars, wrote from Cairo offering to the society a pure white camel, two and a-half years old, just broken to saddle, and quiet. The camel was captured by him at the battle of Machin. A number of Arabs, mounted and dismounted, tried to rush the left flank, of which the major had charge, so as to take the English infantry in rear. Major Graves had a number of men dismounted waiting for them, and when they got within 250 to 300 yards, half a dozen volleys were fired, upon which the Arabs turned and fled, leaving this camel and another one behind. Major Graves, with six men, galloped in, and captured the camel before the enemy had time to rally. On the 28th July the camel was shipped at Suez, by the Orient steamer Cuzco, and arrived in London safe and sound, but rather pulled down by the voyage. It is a very handsome male camel of the fast kind, and as it has still three years to grow will be one of the most valuable of the breed.  A PROCESSION of Nationalists attempted to enter Coagh on Saturday evening about six o'clock. Mr. Nagle, resident magistrate, fearing that the consequence would be a conflict with the Orangemen there, ordered a detachment of dragoons and a party of police to intercept the procession and stop its progress. This led to some stone throwing on the part of the Nationalists. Meanwhile the Orangemen of the town, gathering in force made an attempt to get through the police, and failing in this, executed a flank movement with the object of passing them and attacking the Nationalists. In this way they were foiled by the cavalry. The Nationalists were forced to retire by the police, who followed to cover the retreat. The Orangemen, after jeering their retiring opponents returned into town, shouting their party cries. Both Nationalists and Orangemen carried flags and drums. During the evening revolver firing was frequent., but happily no one was injured. Party feeling runs high, and the authorities are greatly concerned lest it should find vent in more serious rioting  THE New York Railway Central Traffic Association has agreed to establish a money pool to cover a great extent of territory. It has also been agreed to restore the rates for east-bound freights to the schedule of July 13, that is a basis of 20 cents per 100 lb. of grain from Chicago to New York, and 25 cents per 100 lb. of provisions. THE steamer Crystal, from New York for Leith, with a general cargo, which went ashore on the Gunfleet, came off after throwing overboard a large portion of her cargo. She arrived at Harwich Harbour under steam, with two tugs in attendance. About 30 smacks brought to Harwich over 4000 bags of flour, soap, sugar, &c., part of her cargo. ' ' "  A SHOCKING tragedy has been perpetrated by a young man named Walter Jenkins, a grocer's assistant, who in a fit of jealous frensy shot his employer, William George Smith, grocer, Llangafilach-street, Swansea, and afterwards attempted to take his own life with the same weapon. The cause of the rash act is said to have been brought about through Smith paying attention to the sweetheart of the young man Jenkinv. On his person was found three letters, one directed to Mrs. Smith, the wife of the murdered man, another to his mother, and one for his sweetheart.
