This is believed to be very much under the actual amount : but no complete returns appear to have been published. It is known from colonial returns, that the annual cost of each of the two regiments maintained in the colony was, down to 1850, nearly 60,000l. In addition to this, there have been two or three men-of-war, and, for a long time, an armed steamer. Very extensive barracks, which cannot have cost altogether less than 100,000l., have been built in various parts of the island.
