We annex a synopsis of the prominent poiuts in this Report, which was trans mitted to Congress with the President’s. Message; , Sf. 1 .The first portion of the Report is des criptive of the services of the various squadrons during the past year. The Secretary has visted all the Navy Yards except those at Pensacola and Memphis; and lip speaks of them ail as in excellent order. Pressure of business prevented a visit to die yards at the South and Southwest. A liberal provision at Pen sacola of all the means essential to a well furnished and efficient Navy Yard is re commended, and a large estimate is pre sented. Memphis is esteemed ns an un fit placeYor the Repairs of ships^of-war, but it is thought lhai, in building steam ship*, it may compete with Boston, New York and Philadelphia—with St. Louis, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. A rope-walk, with fhe latest, improvements, is recom mended at Memphis, that, the West may not only, produce, but manufacture the hemp used in the American Navy,— Some of the details of the plan proposed for the Navy Yard there, have been dis approved of; it was extravagant, and con templated the residence there of many officers, civil and naval, who would have been, in any event, useless. Congress is advised to confine its appropriations to simple arrangements for building and equipping steamers, and the immediate construction of the rope walk recommen ded. ~ The Report advises that the buildings of the Naval Asylum at Philadelphia he never enlarged, but that, after they are fell, new pensioners be placed in some salubrious spot near the ocean, where they can watch ships as they come and go, and have old familiar objects within thqir sight. There are more than a hun dred veteran sailors in the Asylum at the presenttitne^ , . The Secretary does not approve of the emplo3’nient M'professors and Instructors tit sea; the ship is pot friendly, to study; the office of professor rapidly' 'degenera ted intq a sinecure. It occurred to the Secretary that the best time for impar- ling instruction to midshipmen was in the intervals; between sea duty, when they might be collected in a body,— Congress had permitted the department to pay for migratory professors $28,200 ; with this sum a school on shore could be conducted with great success. The course pursued by the Secretary on this subject has already been made public.— He asked for Fort Severn, at Annapolis, Of thirteen captains, J Great difficulty seems to have occur- of forty lieutenants, J red in the making of contracts with rail- at sea.

The plan pursued has been unpretending, but, it is hoped, will prove efficient. A few professors give more and better instruction than four and twenty at sea. No supernumerary pflicer.has. been ordered to Annapolis; no idle rum* is attached to the establish ment. Commafider Buchanan, to whom the organization of the school was intrus ted, has carried his instructions into ef fect with precision and sound judgement, and with a wise adaptation of simple and inoderate means to a great and noble end. Let not Congress infer that new expenses are to be incurred. Less than the amount that has hitherto been at the dis position of the department for purposes of culture will support the school, and repair arid enlarge the quarters, received from the hospitality of the army.” To remedy the -difficulty of communi cating with our ships in the Pacific, a public mail trough our own territory to a convenient port in the Straits of Juan de Fuca is suggesied. Arrangements should also be made for getting supplies tor our Pacific squadron from our own soil and our own citizens in that region. The subject of Lake defences is reserved for *’ * communication. naval purposes, even on an increase of the men. No estimates are presented for an in crease of tlie Navy, the Department pre ferring to await the instruction of Con gress on that subject. “Yet,” remarks the Repftrt, “it is to be observed that, in comparison with othar nations, our navy is poorl3 r supplied with sea-going steamers —which cannot, indeed, in the present state of science, form the main reliance of a squadron, but, as auxiliaries, are of vast advantage. The Mississippi and the Princeton are our only efficient ves sels of that character on the ocean^-- Should it be determined to increase this class of ships, it is desirable that the best experience should be consulted in their construction; and that doubtless novel- lies, especially sueh ns conflict with the known laws of mechanical forces, should bo disregarded.” • >' — . The annual cost of the Navy is de clared to he disproportionate to its mag nitude; and the system of its organiza tion and preferments, it is contended, leprives merit of hope, by conferring the highest rank in the profession without much regard to capacity or previous ac tivity in the public service. The efficiency of the service is said to demand a reduction in the number ofoffi cers in active service or awaiting orders There are so many captains and com manders, that under existing laws, were all capable of commands, and each cruise to consist of three years, each captain would be at sea once in twelve years, each commander once in eighteen years. The experience of the summer just past has convinced the Secretary that a large number of captains and of com manders might, with public advantage, be placed on furlough, and smaller pro portions of other grades.. He is of the opinion that, if this should be done, a Board of Officers properly constituted, and the records of the department, with other information within reach, would readily make the necessary discrimina tions. The number of midshipmen in the Na vy has gradually become so reduced that new-appointments begiri.to.be tnade, and the Secretary suggests that it would be desirable if a system of free competition for appointments could be deviseo. Be lieving that the number of these officers should be brought within a still narrow er limit tban/that nt present established by law, he recommends, that for every a five vacancies only two should be ap pointed. A remedy is' needed for.an e- vil grovfing out of the manner in which pursers are paid, ' A great love of the shore has obtained among-these officers, and it is preposed to break it down by making it the pecuniary interest of pur sers to go to sea. Changes in the. pre- sent law are said to be required to pro tect the Treasury and to, secure .the prompt payment of balances by the pur sers. . ". . •.! 14;• The excess of officers, it is remarked, exists almost exclusively in. the biglier grades ofilhe Navy. • An .increase* of six acting gunners, is thought to be needful. The apprentice system will soon be revived, k Heretofore it has not been WI10II3* successful, but the failure is at tributed to defects of arrangement, and not to the system itself. The document, closes with some re marks highly complimentary to the char acter of American seamen. Tjae present contract system requires modification, so that no fraud to the U. States may, sliield itself under the letter of the law, or contracts be given out at prices exceeding the market price. The balance of appropriations on hand will, it is believed^ with'the efcercise of rigi di economv, be, sufficient for the re- rnainder of the fiscal year. The esti mates for the next year contemplate no increase in the force employed during tbe present. Those for the civil depart- ment 1 ate precisely the sanfe as were granted for the current year. For the improvement of Yards arid Docks a sum is recommended sufficient only for their absolute'Warits.;.', 1 ' - v .. n Tbe evil of the Mpxipe C&itys, a^eVy serviceable branch of the, service/ is : its ^ Iave no d°: From the Washington Union. Report of tlie Post master General. We make a synopsis of the report of the Post-master General. On the 30th of June last, the transpor tation of the mails covered an extent of 143.844 miles. The annual transporta tion on the routes, on the same day, was 35,634,209 miles—involving an expen diture of $2,905,504. The number of mail contractors on the day above mentioned was 3,277. It is stated, that while tlie annual traris portation in 1845 was greater than in the preceding year by 224,645 miles, the cost has been less by $62,791. On the 30th of June, 1845, there were 14,183 post offices; during the preeedmg year, 352 were created, and 269. Were discontinued. •, The- revenue ol the department for the period mentioned amounted to $4,239,- 841 80; and the expenditures for the same time were $4,320,731 99. j ; The nett revenue of the department a- mounted to $2,942,21$ 17. It is estimated, from data given in the report, that tfiene will be a folling-off io tbe nett revenue to the amount of forty- five per cent.; arid under the" supposition that, the saving^ on contracts .will not transcend the expense bf “ new. routes,” and other meditated improvements, the conclusion is drawn, that the means of the department for the present year will be lessened $1,323,997. . ties M peHbVm j^riborttrihate to their pay. i The bbrdea has been increased Although about were* in summer, WNBMZ pay. within the last year. payment of railroads. It is alleged that that mode of transportation, has invaria bly increased the expenditure, and, in some instances, two or three hundred per cent. Of the entire service to the department, one-tenth part is rendered by railroads; and yet the companies de rive onr-finh of the whole revenue. The English example of conferring sueh priv ileges, it is deemed -highly inexpedient for us in America to follow. The Post master Gencr.d regrets, in strong lan guage, the resolution of the Philadelphia ajid Baltimore (Ini(read Company "not to* convey riail agent stiver their roads * The course of that company in this respect is stated to be an exception to the spirit of accommodation generally manifested b>’ other companies. Serious consequen ces to the revenue, it is supposed, may possibly have resulted from the persis* tance of this conipain’ in that resolution. The Postmaster General states that, should a saving similar to that effected in New York anti New England be realized in other parts of the country upon the practical introduction of the “new law,” then in the “western section,” after Ju ly next, a reduction in the cost of trans portation will be effected to the amount of $335,000; in the “southern section,” a reduction, in 1847, of S33S, 000; and in the middle section, alter July, 1S43, of $1-8,000 per annum. The whole re duction at the period last referred to will, upon the hypothesis affirmed, be SI,005,- 000 per annum. But the report states that it may not be safe to infer a corres ponding redaction elsewhere to that which has occurred in New York and New England. The compensation to postmasters and office expenses for the year euding on the 30tli June lastamounted toSl,409,77o 19. With some exceptions, occurring in the large towns, this class ot public servants, it is affirmed, are worse paid in propor tion to the labor encountered than any other in theemploymentefthegovernment. The late law, in the opinion ol the Post master General, aggravated this dispar ity, in taking away the franking privi lege, arid by the reduction of salaries, depending as these did for their amount, upon the amount of revenue. The “new law,” operating such hardship, occasion ed the resignation of 2,000 postmasters. But the Postmaster General, presuming (under the expectation, which was under stood by the friends of the new law, that the revenue would not be diminished) that Congress did not contemplate a re duction of the salaries, continued them as they had existed. In view of these facts, it is supposed that in a short lime a resort to the treas ury, for the sup|x>rt of the department, would become indispensable? Congress is, therefore, admonished to avoid that hecessity, upon reasons founded in the past policy ; ofi national legislation with regard to the > Post Office Department, and the expediency of making the Post Office Department support -itself. The deficiency for the current year,as calculated upon the returns for thequar ter ending the 30th September, will be more than a million and a quarter; and it is stated that it will not be less than a million next year, without an amendment of the existing law. An increase of the revenue of the department is recommen ded. The rating of letters by weight, instead of by the single sheet, is said to have been productive of very injurious prac tices. Under this branch, the Postmas ter General goes into much detail, show ing through what expedients the just rights of the government have been more or less impaired. The report recommends a continuance of the rates of postage on written com munications, subject to these modifica tions : That five cents pay for each sin gle letter for fifty miles and under; that ten cents pay for each letter for any dis tance between fifty and three hundred miles, until the 30*A June 1S48 ; and after that time that the ten cents' pay for any distance over fifty miles; and that fifteen cents be paid on each single letter tor a- uy distance over three >v huiidred tqiles, until the 30th June, 1843, when it shall the Postmaster General, will, under the control of the patentees, be the mean#of f>ecuring much ot the business that has i hitherto been transacted through the U. mai ‘S, an d occasion a diminution of tlie resources oi the department. It is considered a question of importance for the government to determine, whether individuals shall divide with it the busi- ness °t transmitting intelligence,* or whether tlie government should purchase i he telegraph. - T The power for good or evil which this invention has supplied, is deemed too j great to be left ;n the uncontrolled pos- ' session of individuals. - u ;i This report of Mr. Cave Johnson is’ distinguished for the strong practical- sense of its author. In all that concerns ‘ economy and retrenchment, no one dan bfctnorc vigilant and assiduous than thd-'*- hqu r *st,;m.l inborn >us man who stands at*' the heaJ of tire Post Office^epartment.

This reduction has bebh aegomplis^ed bv means of the provision of a- late act bf/Coiigress. of which the department has •t oti'.V.: ot*vrui on tutu cease. •• uj - ; It is supposed by tho Postmaster Gen eral that, if other suggestions which he makes, of a kindred character, are adop ted,the cheap-postage system may, af ter the preseut year, be continued, with out burdening the treasury. Prepayment of postages, hitherto often recommended, is pressed upon the favor able consideration of Gongress, and va rious considerations justifying the inno vation are presented. The report, referring to the law of the last session of Coogress, authorizing the Postmaster General to provide by con tract for the transportation of .tbe mails between the ports of this and foreign countries, states that! owing to the condi tion of the finances of the department, it has been considered proper to postpone the making such contracts > until the meet ing of the present Congress.. ■ -rt The successful operation of the elec tro-magnetic telegraph, il is supf J u “ HOUSE OF HE PRESENT ATIVE3.
