itec 1 Kingdom, 2,838

miles.
The number of letters delivered in tb 0 United Kingdom
during last year was 5i4 millions, viz 462 millions in
England, 48 millions in Ireland, and 54 m illions in Scotland.
Taking the average throughout the the se kingdoms, the
proportion of letters to the population we -as 'l9 to each per-
eon; the rate being the highest in Englal Va, where it was
22. In Ireland it was only 8, and in E 'Gotland 17. In
Liverpool the proportion is as high as 27 ;to each person ;
in Birmingham, 28; in Manchester, the se tie; in Dublin,
34 ; in Edinburgh, 36 ; and in London, 43.. As compared
with 1859, the total number of letters delis rend shows an
increase of 19 millions ; and as contrasted with the year
previous to the introduction of the penny po: It age (1839), an
increase (omitting franks) of 488 millions ; making the pre-
sent number of letters considerably more than sevenfold
that of 1839, During the last five years the ) ttte of increase,
as contrasted in each instance with the rate i n the preceding
year, has been as follows :-1856, 41 per nt. ; 1857, 51
per cent. ; 1853, 31 per cent. ; 1859, 4 per Gent. ; 1860, 31
per cent. ; average, nearly 41 per cent.
The whole number of letters now deliver 'GI in the same
district in which they are posted is as high. .as 11 millions
and a half. The whole number of letters, gt literal and local,
delivered in the London district last year w as 137 millions,
being an increase of 6 per cent. on the ) lumber in 1859.
About 1-50th of the letters delivered in the United King-
dom were from places abroad.
The number of registered letters last year was nearly
1,500,000, or one registered letter to about 400 ordinary
letters. This number shows an increase of abt tut 6 per cent.
on the previous year, while the increase in or dinary letters
was only 31 per cent. Tho increase of registered letters in
the London local post was yet greater, being up wards of 20
per cent.; but the proportion of sucJi letters io still very
small, being only one registered letter to about 1,700 ordi-
nary London district letters.
Nearly 71,000,000 newspapers were delivered last year,
and about 11,700,000 book packets, being an increase of
about 450,000 newspapers and 700,0 00 book packets. In the
London local post there was an increase of about 300,000
newspapers (or more than 11 per cent.), and an increase a
more than half a million book packets. Nearly two milliora
letters were returned to the writers last year, owing toe
failure in the attempt s to deliver them, being about 45,000
more than in the prevlous year. This is equal to one in
about 286 of the whole :lumber of letters, which is nearly
the same proportion as ti; at of last year ; and three-fourths
of the non-deliveries were
owing to the letters being ad-
dressed either insufficiently or incorrectly ; more than
10,000 letters having been posi.ed without any address at
all. The amount of property fou.'id in letters which could
neither be delivered, nor, for want of an address in the in-
side, be returned to the writers, was about £460. The num-
ber of postage labels found loose in the letter boxes, bags,
&c., in England and Wales alone was more than 50,000.
About 390,000 newspapers were undelivered, being one of
about 182.
During the last year 94 additional money order offices
were opened in England and Wales, and 18 in Ireland,
while in Scotland, although seven new offices were opened,
six were closed, owing to the small extent of their business.
Thus the whole number of money order offices is now 2,591,
exclusive of colonial money order offices in connection with
the United Kingdom.
The gross revenue of the Post-office in 1860, exclusive of
that derived from impressed stamps on newspapers (col-
lected by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue) was as
follows :—Postage : Eng1and,L2,716,557; 1re1and,i250,443;
Scotland, £300,662; total, £3,267,662. Commissions on
money orders : England, £103,923 ; Ireland, £8,516 ; scot-
land, £9,254 ; total, £121,693. The gross revenue properly
appertaining to the year 1860, adjusted with reference to the
balances due to and from the colonies and foreign countries,
was £3,382,900, to which must be added for innpressed stamps
on newspapers, £141,810, making a total of £3; 524,710. The
above sum of £3,382,900 shows an increase of £83,075 on
the adjusted gross revenue of 1859, being an increase at the
rate of 2i per cent., as compared with an increase of nearly
61- per cent. in the previous year, and with an average of
about 41 per cent. in the last five years. The actual ex-
penditure in 1860 was as follows :—Salarios, pensions, &c.,
£1,024,000 ; buildings, repairs, &c., £45,477 ; conveyance
of mails by railways, £490,223; conveyance of mails by
coaches, carts, &c., and wages of mail guards, £170,951;
