HAMILTON,) Middlesex, EalingAccording to the latest Returns, the amount actually expended under the Naval Ordnance Vote up to the 7th of December last was £901,000. The expenditure for the whole year cannot yet be accurately stated, but it is considered that it will not fall far short of the total Estimate—namely, £1,863,500.
