Gepp, of the 66th Gookhas, son of T.. M. Gepp, Esq., of Chelmsford, has died of the wound he received while behaving so gallantly in the action with the Indian rebels froru Bareilly. The letters below de scribe the sad result, and at - the stme time show how completely his kind heart and gentlemanly manners had.won the affectionate esteem of his brother officers, while his bravery as a soldier in the fight called forth the admiration of his comman der, who had marked him out for that special de coratien awarded only to the most nobly daring. A feeling of deep sympathy with the family of the deceased we are sure will pervade the town. The following is a copy of the letter which Mr. .Gepp received on Saturday last from Col. M'atue and, commanding officer of the 66th Goorkhas : "Camp, Huldwanee, ne-r Nynee Tal, February 17, 1857. "My dear Sir,—lt is with sincere and deep re gret I have to announce to you the death of your son Thomas Sydney Gepp, who died on the 12th inst. from the effects of wounds received in action on the 10th, two days previous, at the battle of Churpoorab, sixteen miles from this place. His gallantry was most conspicuous, and the admiration of all his brother officers ; had he lived.l should undoubtedly have recommended him for the Vic toria Cross. Before he fell he eut down three men at the enemy's guns, and was instrumental in cap turing three pieces of artillery. He was much and deservedly beloved by every one, and an ornament to his profession. His remains are interred in the burial ground at Nynee Tal, and it is the intention of the officers to e-ect a monument over them, and they are also desirous of placing a tablet to his me mory in his pari:h church, which, I conclude, is at Chelmsford. It will be consolatory to you to learn that he suffered but little pain. One wound was a sabre cut across the left arm, and the second, which proved fatal, was a ball entering the left side im mediately under the heart, and passing through the liver, was extracted on the right side, having lodged immediately under the skin. The operation gave hire relief fur the time, but the injury to the liver was to great as to render recovery impossible. I have kept his watch, chain, and ring, Bible and Prayer-book, together with some of his hair, to be sent to you. You will no doubt see in the papers an account of the action fought under my command and honourable mentioe made of your gallant son. The enclosed letter arrived half an hour after be' expired—l therefore return it. You have, my dotar sir, much to be thankful fur, that your poor son died a soldier's death and was not brutally mur dered, as many of our poet. countrymen and women and children hive been. I have to deplore the loss of many near and dear relations, part cularly a be loved son and daughter, in the horrible massacre at Cawnpure, July lest. "Once more expressing my heartfelt sympathy to yeurself and family on the loss of so promising a son, believe me, my dear sir, yours very truly, " F. K. ArCAUSLIND, " Colonel 66'h Ghoorkas and Keenan force. "T. M. Gepp, Esq." Mr. Duffi-le, solicitor, of this town, has also re ceieved a letter from Lieut. F. S. Brind, who served in the seine regiment with Lieut. Gepp, in which he gives further details of his gallant comrade's death and funeral. The following are extracts : " Poor dear Gepp's loss has turned our glorious victory into almost a defeat. He was backing away into one of these blackguards, who in his last agonies gave him a blow with his tulw..sr on the arm, which knocked him down, and while on theground a brute shot him through the liver ; his first wound kept him alive , as it prevented internal bleeding. He was carried off the field amid many a vow of ven geatic One sepoy, Davy Singh, opened his merzai and shirt, and stopped the b!eedino• for a time with his own hand; ho won't go unrewarded. PoorGepp said on the field he was dying, and asked Miles to write to his friends who live in Chlmsford. 'leis was a bad sign, and after living 48 hours, he breathed his lest in the hospital et Huldwanee. After ho reached camp ho rallied, and we hoped to have had him among us once more, but it was God's will that the finest soldier and best officer of the 66 , h should be taken from this'seene of strife and woe, to a laud where no sorrow or pain is known. Lee, the doctor who attended hie) night and day, thinks he might have got over it if it had not been for the nature of the matchlock bullet ; it was iron, and all jagged, and as he had an enlargement of the liver, there was no chance of his recovery. Miles has writ en, but incase his letter in these troublous times should miscarry, the Duffields, who may, perhaps, know his parents, can give this little ac count of his untimely end. He died as a soldier should, and it may perhaps be a source of consola tion to his bereaved family to know that he died nobly doing his duty ; his gallantry was conspicu ous, and mentioned in th r camp-orders of the day. His men will not forget him soon. 1 wa- put on the sick list after the tight, as I cannot bear a boot on my foot, and wishing to come up to Nynee I had the mournful pleasure of following to the grave the body of my best friend in the re giment, and than whom a not,ler soldier never stepped. He was buried yesterday (Sunday), in the Nynee Tat churchyard. Fitzgerald commanded the tiring party. A. party of men of the 66 h, and Ist Extra Goorkhas, carded him to his last resting-place. Mr. Puree real the funeral ser- Nearly all the station attended in deep mourning. Gepp had won tha deep regard and esteem of many here. It was a mournful sighteenanyla stout heart, G-Jorkha and European, who would not flinch from a cannon's mouth, wept like a chill. Neatly all the party were in tears, and the old native officer could hardly speak ; Fi.zgerald had great difficulty in giving the last salute—the three volleys in the air. A monument is to be erected in the churchyard, as a testimony of the aff-xtiou of his brother officers." vice. THE TRAGEDY AT LERWICK. This shocking tragedy is as yet unexplained. No mot.ve can be discovered. Mr. Williamson, the mur derer and suicide, was a respectable merchant; he ap peared to have a warm affection for his family, and his affairs do not show any embarrassment. Some of the local papers peblish farther details :—His first victim was his wife. He had apparentiy struck her a fsariul blow with the cleaver on the bead ; with the razor he inflicted a frightful cut upon her throat. He went through the same horrifying process in the case of the daughter, as she still lay asleep. He next rushed up stairs to the apartment occupied by the three childrer. The elder boy was seized, numerous and serious cuts were inflicted upon his bead either with the hatchet edge of the cleaver, or with the razor blade, and with the latter instrument a fearful wound was made upon his throat ; but before the consummation of his intended fate he managed to release himself from his father's hands and made his escape downstairs. Upon the youngest of the three—the sleeping infant—the same elaborate attack was made asin the case of the fret two and stronger victims. With its bead smashed, and almost severed as it was from the body, its death must have been instantaneous. The terminating scene of the sickening tragedy was carried out in the other room on the Flrlie floor on which these transactions took place. To this room the second sou, Jol:D, had made his escape in his regbt-dress. He could scarcely, however, have done more than reach the apartment when hie father, following in hot pursuit, overtook him, and seizing him as he vainly attempted to elude his hold by leaping into an unoccupied bed, dragged him out by his superior strength, one or more stunning blows on the skull soon served to make him resistless, and by a deep raz tr cut in the throat he was the next instant deprived of life as speedily as the innocents who preceded him. Dropping the mutilated corpse at his feet, the infatuated man next addressed himself to the deliberate destruction of his own life. Throwing himself on his back on the middle of the floor of the same room in which he stood, be placed his neck against the leg of the table, thus pre venting any (mance of the wound losing partial, enertd. drawing towards him a chair which stood in ' 4 ' rtq went, he passed his arm round one of its lowe_r11:171° thereby insuring equal steadiness of the b w d ° Ins e nabled to neck.

The crew were ordered t..) clear away boats to land the passengers, which was quickly done without any accident. An officer was put in charge of each boat, and all the ladies and children, and then the gentlemen, were embarked, with orders to lie by the ship until daylight. As soon at. the brats had shoied off we commenced getting the treasure on deck (having on board 500 boxes each emt doing 5,000 rupees). At 11.30 the mainmast went just below the top, taking with it the wizen topmast. "_l7th.—Weatber the same. At daylight found there was too much surf on the beach to attempt landing the passengers, therefore despatched the ladies and children to Trincomalee; where they all arrived safe. As soon as the surf moderated the remainder of the gentlemen were put on a rock near the ship, so that the use of the boats would be available for saving the mails and trEasure. At 10.30 observed the ship had cracked on the star b )ard side from the gunwale to the water's edge. The people were immediately ordered up from the after hold and commenced landing the treasure, the ship working and complaining very much, there being considerable swell on, but the weather 'fine.

We have tents pitched on a sandy beach abreast of the wreck. During the day it is very hot, but rather cold at night. We are all well, although almost every article of bed din and wearing apparel has been lost. A great part of the crew have been bent to Triucomalee, but the captain and most of the officers, with myself, remain here, and purpose doing ss3 while any hopes remain of saving the mails or other property. .1 When the ship struck, and during the time wh.n there was any personal danger, the captain's orders were given with that coolness, and so well carried out by the officers, as to give confidence and insure safety ' • also the chief a , ,d second engi ne?rs, with the whole of their departtnent, be hlve,l most admirably.

Ye , terday the following report was received at Lloyd's rela ive to the teal loss of the Rosedale, screw-steamer, from London to Newcastle, on the niwning of.the Ist; inst., on the Long Scaur Rocke, near Hartlepool. The report is written by Captain G. Wood, the mastt r of the Resedale, who attested to the truth of it before the Admiralty Receiver of Di oits at that port : • 6Wo le.fc ,London on the 30th ult., wind S.W., weather moderate, and at 7 p.m. of the 31st was off Whitey. In the meanwhile the wind had eh urged to the N.E,, blowing hard, with a heavy sea running. We steamed as far as Sunderland, when finding from the strong wind and heavy sea that the ship could not weath er S in t er P o i nt we bore away fr m Hartlepool, c eisid e ri n e it pre f er . able, as a place of shelter, then Sunderland. At 8.15 a.m. of the Ist inst. we rounded H ar tl epoo l hough, and steamed fur the Hartlepo o l (old) liar beur. Between the outer buoys and the channel two plots boarded the steamer, and took charge. They directed her to be backed out, saying she was nut exactly straight for the channel, which orders were carried out. She was, in consequence, backed into the heavy sea. The wind was blow:sig a gale on the startoard bow, which prevented her coming to, aed she drove away into the middle of the bay, where the port anchor was let go. While the slip was driving out, the pilots waved to two steam tugs, which were coming out of the East Hartle pool channel. On their coming close within hail, I asked the captain of one of them what he would charge for assisting the steamer into the harbour. The atiswer was, he would make no bargain. In consequence we hove up the anchor, and attt mpted to steam into a more sheltered place, but she only drove further up. We again let. go the anchor, end ende,voured, with the aid of steaming, to prevent it from dragging. Ti e steamer was then about two cables' length of the Long Scaur Rock astern of us. In about an hour and a half atter , wards felt the vessel strike the ground. We then I let go the second Anchor; in doing so, the first mate met with a serious accident. The cable get ting entangled, he, in attempting to clear it, got his arms jammed in the hewsehole, and before he could be eat , icated we had to heave the chain back. The arm was broken, and he was otherwise much hurt. Iu 'about a quarter of an hour afterwards the ship struck again and again, when some part o f the machinery gave way, and at the same time the vessel broke away from her cables and droVe on the rocks above alluded to. It was now about a quarter past 11. o'clock a.m., the gale was blow ing furious, and the only chance left was to drive the ship far on the rocks, for a heavy sea was snak ing a complete breach over her, and the crew were in great danger. To effect this, had the jib hoisted. While in this condition, the lifeboat belonging to West Hartlepool, which had put . Off' to our rescue, succeeded in taking all hands off the ship and lauded them safe ashore, but the men lost every thing they possessed, for the vessel shortly after wards went to pieces and became a' total wieok.

Important Caution against the fear. ful dangers of spurious imitations.—The Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wo,:d granted an Injunction on the 10th March, 1854, against Alfred Hooper Nevill, for imitating "Du Barry's Revaleuta Are.bica Food.", THE ISLAND OF PERIM. Of late years the French newspapers have so much fallen in importance and ability that their articles are rarely read by the general public in this country, and they may be engaged for a long time on a subject before we become aware of it, even though the matter concerns ou selves. Be it known, then, that the great question debated at present by whatever of journalism still exists in Paris is the Island of Perim, the reek at the entrance of the Red Sea e hich the East India Company oc cupied some months since. So great is the interest excited by this new theme that even the Isthmus of Suez is for a time fo.golten. This great philan thropic project ha., indeed, cause to complain of the inconstancy of the Parisian j•mrnalists ; several newspapers have not had an art•c'e on the subject for nearly a week. Those who will glance over the broadsheets of our neighbours are aware that be tween a scientific essay on the Artificial Alimenta tion of Prawns and an antiquarian essay on Car thaginian Horseshoes an article on the piercing of the Isthmus of Suez his a right to a distinguished place about every three days. Judge, then, of the importance of Perim, which has for a time carried the imagination of our neighbours to the other ex tremity of the Red Sea I The two questions are, however, one ; and, as they have received comparatively little attention in this country, while the Continental press has been ringing with them, it may be as well to offer" a few words of explanation. Ever since the establish ment of the Overland Route to India the political gossips of the Continent have seen with extreme jealousy the extension of what they call " English influence" in Egypt and the pares adjacent. It might strike "them that e nation which acts is likely to have more influence than nations which merely talk ; and, moreover, that a free community of active men must necessarily extend its relations ' with countries which lie on their way to a most valuable dependency. This country has, indeed, done wonders for Egypt since Waghorn suc ceeded in his notable enterprise. The whole mail traffic and a large part of the pavenger traffic between England an crlndia, China, Australia, and the Indian Archipelago has been d iver t s d t o the route of Suez and the Red Sea. The perishing cities of Egypt are livme ag tin, touched by the renovating influence of British enterprise and civili sation. Alexandria, Cairo, and Suez are becoming places of the highest importance, and the Viet royalty is taking its position as the wealthiest and most prosperous state of the East. All this has been done by Englishmen, and what has been done is as nothing compared with what will be effected before a few years have passed away. Already the Railway is nearly fintsliel between the Me literra nean and the Re I Sea. The Indian Mail now traverses the country twice every week, and it is certain that with the rapid increase of trade, the de partures of first-class English steamers from Suez will soon be almost daily. Our telegraph, lines will soon be laid along the Red See an toe shores of Arabia to Kurrachee or Botnbey. Thousands of British solders will yearly cross the Desert on their way to and from our Empire in the East. We may add that the direct trade of Egypt with this country is of the very greatest importance, and that the Viceroyalty is linked to England by continually strengthening interests. Slice facts as these, one would think, might show other nations the illibe rality and folly of endeavouring to thwart the in tercourse which has done so much for a country but lately plunged in poverty and barbarism. But national jealousy and national vanity are proof against reason and good feeling. The French people, not content with their high position on the Conti uent, not recognising the truth that their des, tiny, though great, is merely European, seek to without an of jest force themselves into all our concerns. France 'l3a , f b o u l t low the us g o ra v t e i r fic t a h t e io l world, o o rl i d a , n an u d n , tasy self-esteem to no interestsin the Red Sea or the Indian Ocean. She is represented in Egypt only by a few adventurers, who, with a pliancy which Englishmen have no desire to rival, ingratiate themselves with the Mahomedans, and adopt the manner', the morals, and sometimes the faith, of the race among which they live. This clique has always been animated by a biter jealousy of England, and even in the midst of the Rus-ian War, when France arid E ig land were in arms together, it did not care to dis semble its hostility. To the inspiration of these French fortune seekers.is to be attributed the plan of making a canal from the Mediterranean coast to Suez—a scheme so wild and impracticable that no man can believe it to be sincerely propounded for commercial and maritime objects. Our conviction is, thet if a concession were granted by the Porte the canal would not be made---that it is not in tended to be made, but that the installation of a French company, under French protection, on the route which our mails and pa- sengers follow, would be used as a means of thwarting us in all plans for perfecting the system of transit. In fact, it is merely a political scheme for operating on our line of communications. Whenever we proposed an extension of railway, c r another line of telegraph, or an improvement of the port, or the erection of a warehouse, or any practical object, we should be met with the rights of the Lesseps Company, which we should be told was in a year or two to com mence that great work of civilization by which France, to whom alone belongs the initiation of ideas, was to attract the gaze of the universe. We sincerely trust that if there are any persons who believe that an improper opposition has been made t the Suez scheme, they will be content to give the successive Governments of the country credit for understanding the question better than them selves. England has done everything for Egypt, and she alone is interested in the traffic across the isthmus. If, then, the canal were feasible, English engineers would have executed it long ago. All that can be done is to make a railway, and that has been effected, while those who clamour for wonder ful projects have been sitting idly at home. The occupation of the rock of Perim is a question of a s me ll er nature. Eng li s h s t eamers , as we have Pa id, are pas .i ng and repassing the en trance of th e R e d S ea d a i ly. No other E uropean flag ever appea rs oa the waters of this tropical gulf. Neither France, nor Russia, nor Austria has the slightest concern with it. It is in the exclusive occupation of England, and must in the nature of things remain so as long as England has vast pos sessions beyond it, and these other countries have none at all. Perim, which is advantegeously situate at a point where the navigation is difficult, has been an uninhabited rock, except at rare intervals, since the creation of the world ; it was occupied when Sir David Baird was about to invade Egypt from India nearly sixty years ago, and when, a few months hack, our people returned they found, we are told, the fortificatio ns and reservoirs just as their grandfathers left them. And yet, because we form a settlement on this desert rock in a sea where no flag but our own ever comes, we must listen to an outburst of spite from the Continental press 1 We are to forego the possession of a spot which is found to be a convenient halting-place for our mail steamers and transports, simply out of deference to the susceptibilitie s of Continental poli ticians, who have not the smallest interest in those regions of the world, and who never heard the name of Perim in their lives. Perim may be necessary for the intercourse between Europe and Asia, but Perim must be left destitute because France thinks that the occupation will too much increase the influence of England on the Arabian and Abyssinian coasts. This is what the science of politics has come to among the publicists of the Second Empire. _ _ _ We have bad enoegh of such trifling. Ever since the French press has been forbidden to discuss domestic subjects it has always been searching for some paltry matter of this kind, and seeking to elevate it into a great political question. The Con tinental journalists have also thought fit to insinu ate a proposition which we may as well repudiate at once—namely, that the policy of this coun try in Asia is to be subordinated to some general Council of European powers, and we con sequently hear of the occ u pation of Perim being brought before the Parisian Conference, and of collective notes being meditated o n th e su bj ec t. There is probably no truth in all this ; b u t s till, the existence of the report is evidence of notions which we may as well dissipate at once. A s f or Egypt and the Red S-e, the inte n ti ons o f t hi s country are soon stated. We have no wish to acquire territorial possessions in those parts, ,but we will not for a moment tolerate any scheme for interfering with the gro at system of intercommu nication which we are now building up. As for any nation pretending to a superior or even an it is out of E h a n a g -e la n n o d t i l u ab E o g u y re p d t, so much t o t e l q in ua ci l t p le o e s t i i t o i l o l n . w w ith e give up now the fruits of our labour. Twice within the last sixty years have British arms preserved Egypt to the Porte. In the first of these conflicts e d rl fl y eet led i) the first of defeatedand y destroyed. a modern F g o r n e n o r c e h i e eras army u a tt i' Forty years afterwards, when an ambitious Vice roy made war agst his Sovereign, it was again a British force that crushed his pretensions. The policy and spirit of England are what they were in 1798 and 1840. Our own rights and the rights of the Sultan we will support, as we have done before, against either European or Egyptian ambition. So we would advise those journalists who are busying themselves about English proceedings in the Rt•d Sea to attend to matters which more nearly con cern themselves. Perim can only possibly belong to the Sultan of Turkey or the Imaum of Muscat. If either of these potentates chooses to make a re clamation we shall know how to deal with it ; but any other State will only lose its time and temper by interfering with the question. Probably all that has been said on the matter proceeds only from the ill-humour of the Continental press, but, should any (4overnmert be so ill-advised as to give eff• ct to these suggestions, we trust that Lord Malmesbury will simply decline to listen to any such meddling with our national affairs. —Tunes. THE POSTAL SYSTEM OF THE UNITED KINGDOM DURIN ; THE PAST YEAR. The report of the Postmaster• General for the past year was issued yesterday morning from the govern ment printers, from which it appears how greatly the postal system has extended itself during 1857. The number of letters transmitted through the Post Offices of the United Kingdom was 504 millions, which is an increase of 5i per cent. on the number of the previous year. In England 410 millions of letters passed through the Post Office, being about 51 per cent. increase on the number of 1850. In Ireland 43 million letters passed through the Post Office, which is an increase of 24 per cent. on the number for 1856 ; and in Scotland the number was 51 millions. Theie figures give 21 letters to each individual of the population for the year for Eng land ; 7to each in Ireland ; and 16 to each person in Scotland. At Leeds the proportion of letters to the popula tion is as high as 24 letters to each person ; at Glasgow and Birmingham, 27 ; at Liverpool, 29 ; in Dublin and Manchester, 30 ; in Edinburgh, 36; and in London, 43. As compared with 1856, this number shows an increase of 26,000,000; and as compared with the year previous to the introduction of penny postage (1839), an increase (omitting franks) of 428,000,000; making the present number of letters more than sixfold what it was in 1839. During the last five years the rale of increase in letters, as compared in . each instance with the number in the preceding year, has bsen as follows :-1853, 81 per cent.; 1854, 8 ; 1855, 21; 1856, 41 ; 1857, 51 : average, nearly 6. . Of the whole number of letters last year nearly a quarter were delivered in London and the suburban districts; and counting those also which were dis patched, nearly one half passed through the London office. The number of letters given in the fore going statements include colonial and foreign letters delivered in the United Kingdom as well as inland letters. The great bulk, however, are inland ; the colonial and f ?ream letters forming le-s than one fiftieth of the whole number delivered. According to an official retuin in a recent number of the Journal de St. Petersbourg, giving various Russian statistics for the year 1655, the whole number of letters posted in Russia was about 16,400,000, or almost exactly the sante as the number p steel in the single city of Manchester and its suburbs. The number of registered letters last year was rather more than a million and a quarter, or about one registered letter to 400 ordinary letters. The num ber of newspapers delivered in the United King dom last year, as in the previous ye tr, was about 71,000,000, ne srly three-quarters of which bore the impressed or newspaper stamp, the others having been paid by postage stamps. The proportion of colonial and foreign newspapers and books sent through the post is much greater than that of letters ; for while of letters the portion, as already stated, is less than one-fiftieth of the whole, of news papers and books it is about one-fifth. This diff,r aline is probably owing, in part, to the means by which large numbers of inland newspapers and books are distributed otherwise than through the post, not being available for newspapers and books sent here from abroad, and to the rates of postage on colonial and foreign letters being much higher, compared with newspapers, than is the case with inland letters. This great disparity in the rates of postage gives rise to much petty fraud in using foreign and colonial newspapers for letter writing. The number of letters returned to the writers last year, owing to failure in the attempts to deliver them, was about 1,700,000. Owing to the same cause about 580,000 newspapers were also undelivered, being about one in 122 of the whole number. There were ab aut 6,000,000 of book packets last year. The average weight of a book packet is about 54 ounces, and the average postage ab rut 24d. Excluding official packets, the average weight of an inland letter is rather more than a quarter of an ounce ; that of a colonial letter rather more than a third of an ounce ; and that of a foreign letter rather more than a quarter of an ounce. The average - postage of an ordinary inland letter is about 14d. The average weight of a newspaper passing through the Post-office is rather more than 24 ounces. During the year the number of post offices in the i United Kingdom was increased. by 235, making the total number at present open 11,291. Of these, 810 are head offices, and 10,291 sub post-offices. 295 road letter-boxes (some in towns and some in rural districts) were put up last year, making the whole number 703. At 1,041 places free delr varies were establi-hed for the first time last year ; and at 297 other places, including Dublin, Bristol, Bath, Oldham, the thickly inhabited district round Manchester, Perth, and the neighbourhood of Bel fast, the free delivery was extended or otherwise improved. Measures are in progress, though they must necessarily proceed gradually, for still further improving the postal service in the suburban dis tricts. These measures include an acceleration (where this has not already been accomplished) of the general post letters arriving in Loudon by the night mails ; the extension to all places within six or seven miles of London (isolated houses and scat tered neighbourhoods excepted) of a late evening delivery, so that letters leaving the Lond •n office about 7.30 p.m. may reach the hands of the public the same night, instead of remaining undelivered till the next morning ; a greater approach t ) equa lity in the periods between the despatches from London ; and, where requisite, more numerous despatchs and collections, longer periods for post ing, and an earlier morning collection. So far as its object was to expedite the interchange or cor respondence between district and district, the sys tem of postal divisions in London is still, owing to the want of offices, only in very partial operation. In some districts no suitable building, or even site, has yet been found ; and in others unforeseen ob stacles have arisen to retard the completion of the arrangements, even when considerable progress had been made. During the last year 59 additional towns were provided with day mails to or from the metropolis of one or other of the three parts of the United Kingdom, and sonnet of them with mails in both directions. Supplementary mails, moreover, being the third dispatched from or to London in a single day, were established with Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Cambridge, Southampton, Sheffield, and other towns. The distance over which mails are now conveyed within the United Kingdom by railways, mail coaches, &c., steam packets, boats, and foot messengers, is nearly 130,000 miles per day. During the year 138 new money order offices have been opened-95 in England and Wales, 34 in Scotland, and 9in Ireland. The to tal number at present open is 2,233. Not w illi , .rtan din g the de pression of trade during the year, 6,389,703 money orders were issued in the United Kingdom, for a total sum of 12,180,273/., showing an increase of 185,467 orders and 374,7111. over the previous year. The rapid increase which has taken place in this method of transmitting money may be under stood, when it is stated that in 1840 313,1241. was sent through the Post-office in 1850, and it had in creased to 8,494,4981. The following results give a curious illustration of the relative prosperity of the three kingdoms : ' —From England there is an evident outgoing of money orders, inasmuch as orders for 10,410,8631. were granted, and 10,281,6681. paid, leaving a dis crepancy of 129,1951. In [reland orders for 818,5371. were grantsd, and, 893,789/. paid, leav ing an excess paid of 75,252/. In Scotland orders for 950,873/. were granted, and 1,002,8571. paid, giving an excess of 51,9851. The rate of postage on letters conveyed by pri vate ship between this country and all parts of the world has been reduced, where it before exceeded that sum, to a uniform charge of 6d. the half-ounce. The rate of increase in the gross revenue in the two years was as follows :-1856. England, nearly 6 por cent. ; Ireland, nearly 5 per cent.; Scotland, nearly 7 per cent. ; United Kingdom, rather more than 54 per cent.-1857. England, rather more than 6 per cent.; Ireland, about 24 per cent.; ' Scotland, about 61 per cent.; United Kingdom, nearly 6 per cent.
