During the last fiscal war there have been 1724 offices established, and 704 discontinued bring sue increase of 1031, The total number of offices at this time is 37,148, of which 368 are of the class deouminated^’reu- Mcotial. Th* number of postmasters ap pointed during the year was 8680. The transportation statistics show that oo the 30th June, there were in operation 7.888 mail routes, with a length, of 342,601 wilee, of which 22,530 arc railroad lines. The to tal annual transportation was 74,906067 miles, coating $6,622,046, giving un average of about (to c*«its ton fiw a niilo by railroad, and by steamboat auoat 22 rents a mile. The iocree'e in the length of mail room over the previous year is about 2,959 with an addition of about 9 7-10 per cent to the annual cost. The tabofuted results of the news service, to the 20th of September, are as followi—Miles in length '-•■R'p: ° 1 ' : " of annual transportation. 15,454,613: cost $1,098,749. Compared with ihe service on the !0th of Jnne last, there anpears to be a decrease ot 791 m les in the length ot r>utes and 723.034 miles in the annual transpor tation,‘while the cost b increased $120,044. On the 30th of Jnne last there wrre in service 406 route agents, at a Cuc.peasation of $310,000 : 45 local agents, at 528,48s, and 1,335 mail messengers, at $160,425— making a total of $499,813.

The net expenditure of the fiscal year ecd- ing Jane 30, ioelodinz payment to letter ea-rier* and foreign postage*, amounted to $11.507,67016. The grot* revenue for the year 1857 in- eluding receipts from letter carriers ami from foreign poeta.es, amonr.tvd to 88,053,- 951 74, being $3,453,718 40 les than the expenditure. The animated expenditures for the year 1858 amount to $12,053,243. The means applicable to defray this sum amounts only to S10.584 074, leaving $1,469 173 to be appropriated from the treasury to de fray the eipenditures of the year 1S58, a* they have been authorized by law. The report again brings under ihe not ce of Congress the expediency of adopting* a money order system like that "f Great Bri tain. The amount transmitted in this way through the British Poet Offices ia the year 1-56 is stated to have been £11.-95,562, furnishing a profitable source of revenue to the Eoglisb Post Office. The ocean Steamships ood foreign mail arrangements of the department may be thus briefly summarised— Tin connection with the Pacific service, tnc only recommendation made by the report is that having reference to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. By i'3 terms the contact with this company for semi monthly service from Astroria. by San Francisco, Ac to Panama, expires oo the 1st of (Xtober l -oo, while under the decision or the Nut Department, the contract of connecting lines oo this side runs until 1st October, 1859.— Therefore, to keep up the connection with tha Pacific line, as provided by law, add a* originally contemplated, it will be necessary DTexteml the contract on the Pacific one year and as the Pacific Mail Steamship Company have performed their ter vice- genera, ly in ii highly creditable and satisfactory m.imer the Post Master General recommend - an ap propriation fur auch extension. The aggregate amount of postage, (sett, inland and, forego) on mails transported du ring the year by the steamers of New York and Liverpool (Collins) lice wai $210,463 03, which is t henry decrease »■> corrpared with the amount ($461 575 94) of the pre vious fiscal year. It should be observ.d however, that the additional allowance to this line authorized by the act of 21st Ju iy, 1352, having been terminated on the -JO* th of Feoruary. 1857, and six yearly trips dispensed with Irom and after that date, twenty round trips on y. instead of twenty sti, as formerly, were performed during 'be year. Th* postage npon maps conveyed by the New Tork and Breraao line were, |!'J7,75t 78.and by the New York and Havre line $97,950 05 ; being a decrease of $5,491 74 by tbe Bremen, owing to the fact tha: much of the time there have been reveral foreign steamers running and carrying ship letter* on this list*, and an increase of $2,125,02 by tbe Havre line, os compored with the distances without changing, and gun gainst nil delays that can'possible k> t ed, and especially to sen that noss ngt i°r. no advantage over the mails, but .delay of mail* oo tall "leqnent complaints nr that additional agent by the department a to acoeotpauy mails lonj_ and guard a- he avoid- joj no advantage over the mail*, but tbit both are squalli expedib dttnder ,|| cucurn- mnooet The eoosideratlctr of the measnfos neow- »tjf to be adopted to ensure greater speed nd regularity in the- transmission of th* mails between New Yu.l and New Orleius ocean iea a forgo space in the report.

From a derailed slatimeot accompanving this reper: of rhi fines and deduction* which were impulsed upon the contractors for imperfect mail service during tho fiscal year, it appear* that theso fines and deduct tiocs ammo) in the aggregate to $183,745 84 is included the sura of $71,598 4G, being that portion of the deductions n.a c fiom the contractors pay on the New Orleans and Cario route during the third and fourth qasrterf of 1856, which has since been rc- milted to them, injmrs.uarca of the 7th sec tion of the act of Congress passed on tbe Sdot' March 1857. The grounds of tho decision of the Post master General in favor of the Southern route between the valley of thr Miss issippi and 'San Frincisco, for the cons veyar.ee of the overlands mails to California, are set forth at great length, as are also the reasons which decided the department to accept the bids of Messrs.
