"'Beport of-the Postmaster General.
The number of post offices in June last
was 16,747 921 being new offices, end
333 discontinued. During the year end
ing in June there were 6,333 postmasters
appointed, 2103 removals. In 1845 it
.u .1 . . o .
ry mails, but they are carried for 5 cents
now on the average. In July last there
. were 4,943 mail routes, of 1C7.703 miles
T making 42,547,069,049, and the reve
nue $4,905,176: " The current year w ill
cost nearly all that can be received, unless
some 400 tons of franked documents be
curtailed, which are usually poureu out on
t.he country, without much benefit to any
one. -This does not include the letters
tent by Congressmen, or the matter re
ceived by. them. The Senate matter
alone,! if taxed with postage, would pay
$792,000.
The" clashes of service now required are
three; the care, transportation and delivery
first of letter, second of newspapers and
pamphlets, third of matter carried without
compensation. It is by postage on the
two:.first classes of service that the whole
expenses of the Department are now sus
tained.
The whole number of letters charged with
postage passing through the mails, the past
year, rockoned on the postage received,
agreeably to a basis heretofore approved,
amounted to sixty-two millions.
On all these letters, the postage collected
was $3,882,762, on newspapers and pam
phlets $819,910. It is well known that
the postage on newspapers and pamphlets
in proportion to their weight and numbers
is in a very great degree less than the let
ter postage; so they do not pay their pro
portion of the expenses of the service. It
therefore follows that the letter postage
pays now not only for its cost, but also for
what the letter 'postage falls short of its
proportion, and also for all operations and
services of the Department, including the
expense of all the. matter carried for the
public without pay from Government.
Congress is to decide whether the Irank
ing by its members is a valuable public
service proper to continue; and it is not
intended to make any remark on that topic.
Were it abolished, there would probably
be very much less of such matter printed.
But the postage on the remainder, together
with that on the correspondence of the
members and the relief of the expenses of
the transportation and delivery of this
franked matter, would enable the depart
ment to sustain itself, though the postage
were materially reduced on letters. But
if Congress continue this frankinu it is
but just and proper that the correspon
dence, by a reduction on its postage, be re
lieved from its support; and that provision
be made ' therefor, in the same manner
that other branches of public service is
sustained.
Another great additional demand of pub
lic service by the Post Office Department,
without compensation, is made this year
that is the transmission of all the blanks
returns and correspondence required in
taking the census of 1850. Three thou
sand reams of these blanks are already en
gaged. It has been said that the newspaper and
pamphlet postage is not in proportion to
the cost of their transportation, but it is not
to be, therefore, understood that any in
crease of that postage is proposed. It has
long been regarded as a sound public pol
icy, to promote the circulation of these pub
lications by cheap postage, and may be
advisable to proceed further in this policy
especially in promoting their circulation
in the vicinity of their places of publica
tion, provided no decided injustice be don?
to the postmasters within that same vi
cinity. . . It would be desirable to have a fixed
sum granted from the Treasury for this
public service as to free matter, and then
the postage so reduced and arranged as to
provide for the remainder; but that course
is impracticable, as the money from the
Treasury cannot be drawn until that from
postage is first exhausted; and therefore,
the only safe way is to make reductions
of postage from time to time, until justice
is produced, by leaving a balance, to be
drawn annually from the Treasury, equiv
alent to the public service performed; and
no extent of reduction, which does not
produce this effect, is sufficient so long as
public service is to be performed free of
postage.
The most obvious and prominent fea
ture now in our postage is the double price
ten cents, charged on all single letters car
ried over three hundred miles. The re
duction of this ten cent postage and char
ging all single letters at five cents each,
would much simplify the manner of ac
counting, and render the same both more
facile and perfect would remove the dis
satisfaction arising from the great differ
ence m the postage in different offices,
even in the same vicinity, but separated
by this arbitary line, and would promote
and encourage the correspondence and in
tercourse by mail, between the rmost dis
tant parts of the country, which most need
and demand it, in precise proportion as
tneir other means of intercourse are slow
and unfrequent.
Mail Service in California As early
as November 1848, a post master was ap
pointed for San Francisco, and agents
were appointed and sent on that business.
That postmaster entered on his duties, and
for a time attempted their discharge; but
finding, as he writes, no snffi
from the postage to pay the expense of
uuin aim assistance, or even for his sup
port, he resigned. No report from these
has ever been received. In April last
another agent was sent, who immediately
. departed and entered upon his duties, and
also another postmaster for San Francis
co, who has also arrived there; and from
information received from them and oth
ers, there is good reason to believe that all
reasonable exertions are being made to
give to the people there all the mail facili
ties the limited means legally applicable
will afford. The laws regulating post
office duties and service are; in many re
spects, ill adapted to the circumstances and
condition of that country. Many letters
have been sent there for persons passing
the overland route and if the same were
to be treated as dead letters at the end of
the second quarter after their arrival, they
would be sent back before those persons
would arrive there. Indeed, the sending
as dead letters to the department here
those letters mailed from one office to
another in California would be more than
useless. i
No sufficient pecuniary means are at
command of the department for this ser
vice. The price of labor, of personal ser
vice, and the price required for office
room, are such that no allowance now au
thorized by law can secure a post office
in California. Nor can the mails be
transported within the country for any
compensation which the postage received
there will furnish. No sufficient returns
have been received by which to determine
the expense of what has already been
done, but it fully appears that provision
must b made much beyond the yield oi
the postage there, to meet the cost of even
a limited supply of mail accomodation in
that country. This subject requires the
early attention of Congress, and at the
same time provision should be made for
extending mails to Oregon and New Mex
ico. A Naval Scene off Cronstadt.
The United States ship Independence,
under the command of Capt. Nicholson,
sailed for Cronstadt, in 1837, from Bos
ton, carrying out Mr. Dallas, the United
States minister to Russia. The following
interesting incident was described at the
time, as having taken place soon after the
arrival of that noble ship off the port of
Cronstadt:
"We arrived off Cronstadt on Saturday
morning, 26th July, and a most lovely
morning it was. The harbor was covered
with ships of war, and vessels of all na
tions, and every size and description. To
increase the interest and beauty of the
scene, a Russian fleet, in the direction of
Peterhofi, was formed in two opposing
squadrons, and, after maneuvering some
time in sham fight, opened their batteries
against each other.
"We had scarcely anchored and fired,
and received the customary salute, when
a steamer, crowded with officers, was
seen making for us and soon an officer,
evidently of high rank, accompanied by a
larfe staff: came on board our ship. He
was introduced to Commodore Nicholson
as Prince Menchikoff, minister of marine.
In his suit was an officer whose uniform
was distinguished from that of the rest of
the staff, by the top of his cap being white
instead of the rival green. After the usual
forms of introduction had been gone thro'
and the Prince invited into the Commo
dore's cabin, this officer separated himself
from the rest, went forward among the
men, and thence down to the mam berth
deck, and, in short, he went all over the
ship, examining every thing very particu
larly. On the main deck he met the nurse of
Mrs. Dallas, with little Charlotte, a beau
tiful curly-haired cherub, whom he took
from the nurse and caressed. On return
ing to the quarter deck, his general ap
pearance and lofty mien, soon caused him
tc be recognized as the Empcrcr himself,
but as he had come incognito, all the hon
ors and attentions were paid by the Com
modore and his officers to the Prince, as
long as they remained on board the ship.
The Emperor went into the cabin,
which he praised for its comfort and the
taste with which it was furnished. He
had obviously come on board, as he did
so immediately on our arrival, in order to
see the ship in her every day condition,
and he did see her, and must have felt the
admiration he expressed the next day to
the Commodore. He spoke particularly
of her battery, which looked, he said, as if
the ship was made for fighting.
Prince Menchikoff, having been taken
through the ship, took leave, and, in his
barge, pushed off for the steamer, the Em
peror acting as coxswain. The moment
they were nil on board the steamer, we
manned our yards, hoisted the Russian
flag, and fired a salute of forty-one guns,
thus apprising the Emperor that he was
known to us. He then hoisted our flag
on board his steamer, ordered one of his
frigates to return the salute, and stood on
his way. As soou as the firing was over,
the Emperor; in compliment to us, hoisted
the imperial standard, on the appearance
of which, all the ships and forts in the
harbor opened a salute; and a more beau
tiful and animating scene I have not wit
nessed and cannot imagine."
FIRE.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning, a
fire broke out in the third story of the tin
shop of Mr. J. Brown, Liberty street.
The firemen had great diffiulty in arrest
ing the flames, but, by hard labor they at
length succeeded in saving the building
from total destruction. Mr. Brown's loss
is three or four thousand dollars. He had
no insurance. '
The stock of Mr. Brown's fruit store,
was considerably damaged bv water, all
of which is lost, as he had ho insurance.
The stock in the leather store of J. Young
was slightly damaged.
The three buildings belonged to Mr.
Verner, of the firm of Verner& White.
His loss is covered by insurance-. Pitts

Particulars of the Cincinnati Conflagration.
The following are the particulars of the
very destructive fire which took place in
Cincinnati, on the 7th inst. We copy
from the Daily Enquirer of the 8th inst:
The alarm of fire was sounded, about
half-past one o'clock, and it was immedi
ately discovered that the pork packing es
tablishment of L. Pugh & Co., on the
Southeast corner of Canal and Sycamore
street, was in flames, as they were seen
to burst out of the third story of the build
ing in which the smoke-house was located.
The fiery element spread rapidly, and in
a short space of time communicated to the
roof of the building opposite, occupied by
Messrs. Slagg & Shays, and in less than
half an hour it spanned the entire roofs of
the two blocks extending from Ninth
street to the Canal.
The stock inside being pork and lard,
was of such a combustible nature, that the
most energetic efforts of all the fire com
panies on the ground could not check the
flames, and of course all they could do
was to prevent them from being commu
nicated to the stores opposite, which were
saved by their playing upon the walls and
roofs of the same. At dark, last! night,
the devouring element had not been sup
pressed, and it is a difficult matter to tell
the whole amount uf loss that has accrued.
In the store of Messrs. Pugh & Co.,
we learn that there were from 1000 to
2000 head of hogs belonging to different
owners, on which there was no insurance.
One man had about $14,000 worth of
pork there, on which he owed $4,000,
which was a total loss no insurance.
A gentleman named "Watts, from Fay
ette county, Kentucky, had in the morn
ing sent 1000 head of hogs there, and he
could not tell whether they were insured
or not.
We learn that the amount of stock be
lonffing to Messrs. Puffh &, Co. was up
wards of $60,000, consisting of pork and
lard, and that their insurance would fall
considerably short of the estimated loss.
The stock consumed in the house of
Messrs, Slagg & Shays was between $30,
000 and $ 10,000, and we learn they were
insured for $25,000.
Mr. John Wilson, who suffered but a
short time ago by having his dry house
burnt on Deer Creek, had recently depos
ited 20,000 lard kegs in the store of Pugh
& Co., all of which were consumed.
The hotel of Mr. Kohlrieser, and the
store of Messrs. McQueen & Harvey,
caught on fire several times; but the pro
prietors had been careful enough to place
men on the roofs of each with buckets of
water, to quench the flames as soon as
they appeared.
The front walls of both the stores of
Messrs. Pugh & Co., and Slagg &, Shays,
were preserved by the constant playing of
water upon them, by the different lire
companies; but we learn that the back
walls of L. Pugh &, Co.'s store, fell out
side, injuring several persons severely;
several of whom, it is supposed, will not
recover. We did not learn their names.
One of them was taken into the drug
store of Mr. J. Burdsall, on Main street,
where his wounds were dressed.
As near as we could learn, at a late hour
last night, the whole estim?te of loss will
not fall short of from $150,000 to $200,
000; about one third of which only was
insured.
Bulk pork, hams, and whole hogs, lined
the pavement from the store of Stagg and
Shays to the canal; and although some
was pretty well cookeu, it remained un-
touched by the hundreds that passed to
and fro.
Tlic Population of Paris.
Correspondence of tho Journal of Commerce.
Paris, Nov. 15, 1849.
Wc have an instructive pamphlet from
an eminent member of the French Assem
bly, M. Bechard, a Legitimist, which is
entitled "The Township, the Church, and
the State, in their Relations with the
Working Classes." He reckons the num
ber of workmen domiciliated in the capi
tal at 75,000, and of the unsettled or tran
sient at 30,000; of whom two thirds be
long to the building business. The work
women he supposes to be about 60,000;
be assigns two boys, on the average, to
the married workmen, and to those who
live in concubinage that is, a hundred
thousand gamins, ready at any moment
for street riot. He calculates 4,000 rag
gatherers and gipsy-traders, half of whom
are deeply corrupted. "Judge, then," he
adds, "what elements of perturbation and
anarchy must be afforded by this working
population of 265,000, when agitated by
want, wrought upon by secret societies, ;
and inflamed by the incendiary preach
ings of the clubs." Thirty-three thousand
of the male sex, and twenty thousand of
the female, are pronounced, on the author
ity of the police registers and calculations,
to be of the absolutely vicious classes of
society, and half of them downright drunk
ards, the vice of intemperance being com
mon to "all. Two-thirds of the females
are of the worst description. The esti
mates of the very dregs is not less than a
total ol fifty-six thousand persons, inde
pendently of the gamins, who all have
had a large share in the insurrections.
Fregier, who presides over one of the bu
reaus of the Prefecture of Police, asserts,
in a work which was crowned by the
Academy of Moral and Political Sciences,
as an able exposition of evils and reme
dies, that "Paris has constantly in its bo
som 80,000 malefactors, upon whom all
action, whether moral or of police, is
nearly null utterly inefficacious."

Cleveland and Colnmbns Railroad
In the Philadelphia Ledger of Decern
ber I3th, (money article,) we find the fol
lowing: .
A contract for 0,500 tons of rails has
just been concluded for the Cleveland and
Columbus Railroad. The rails are to be
delivered at Cleveland via Quekec and
will be placed at that point cheaper than
rails were ever before purchased. Theso
rails will complete the ironing'of the road
and the whole distance will be in opera
tion by the end of 1850. When that is
done, passengers will be carried across
the State of Ohio from Cincinnati to Cleve
land all the way by railroad, between
sun and sun. lrom Cleveland towards
the East, on the line of the Lake shore
road, the people are moving- with energy
and the importance of a connection with
Dunkirk and Buffalo is attracting much
attention. From Buffalo west to the
state line the road is located and beine
graded and will probably be ready within
eighteen months. From the Pennsylva j
nialineto Erie, the liue will be comple
ted within twelve months, and all along
the line from Toledo, to the Pennsylvania
line energetic measures are being taken
to get the various links of the road under
way. It will be but a short time before
passengers from Cincinnati will reach
New York in a few hours by the Cincin
nati, Columbus and Cleveland road, the
lake shore road to Dunkirk and thence by
the Erie road. From Chicago and Ga
lena the travel will also come the entire
distance by rail road. The estimated
cost of the road from Buffalo to the State
line is a million of dollars, and it is under
stood that parties are ready to build the
road at " the estimate, taking one half the
contract in stock; Such a connection as
this with the west would secure a very
large proportion of the travel and bring
tradd to JNew l ork which now goes to
l hiladelphia and Baltimore.
Manufactures at the South.
The Southern States are embarking
largely in the manufacturing business.
We observe, by statistics recently pub
lished, that Delaware has already a great
er number of manufacturing establish
ments, in proportion to her population,
than any other state in the Union. Ma
ryland has increased over $15,000,000, in
manufactures, canals and railroads, and is
still enlarging her interests. Virginia
has over forty cotton factories, and about
$60,000,000 invested in railroads, canals
and manufactures. South Carolina has
about forty-five cotton factories in course
of construction or in successful operation
Florida has invested over $4,000,000 in
railroads and manufactures. Georgia has
more than twenjy cotton factories. Ala
bama over twenty, and Missouri has mo
ney invested in mines, factories &c.
Kentucky, Tennessee, and other South
ern States which we ha'e not enumerated
are likewise proceeding with spirit in the
great work of internal improvement.
The increase of 'domestic competition in
all the departments of industry, has pro
duced a radical change in the interests
of manufactures. JVorristown Register.
Depth of the Ocean
Capt. James Ross found 15,000 feel
west of the Cape of Good Hope, which is
the heigth of. Alt. Blanc; and he sounded
with a plummet 25,400 feet, or 27,000
English feet, without touching bottom,
west of St. Helena. Dr. Young assigns
to the Atlantic a depth of a league, that
13,400 feet, and to the Pacific a league
and a third, or about 18,000 feet. Cer
tain inland seas, like Mediterranean and
Carribbian, have greater depths than
would be expected from their proximity
to the lands; and seem to be sunken ba
sins, the form of which is conected with
the volcanic phenomena of which they
are the seat. The narrowest part of the
Strait cf Gibralter is not more than 960
below the surface; but a little further to
wards the east the depth falls suddenly
to 3,000 feet; and the south of the coast of
Spain and of Sierra Nevada, a depth of
o,400 feet has been ascertained. 1 he

THE subscribers have just received at

which they offer to their customers at VERY
LOW PRICES. Thankful for the patronage
so liberally bestowed upon them, they hope to
merit its continuance, and beg leave to assure
