who 1t may concern, that neither hare erey had any
pecunary share interest whatever in the selling of
these lectures. Not that deem all disgraceil for
man to endeavou to make money by the abour his head

TIE posr OFFICE.

From the report of the Postmaster
General, it appears that during the year
ending the lst April, 1923, the expendi-
lures exceeded the receipts, by the sum
OF S55, 540:s9. During the year which
Terminated on the LIST of April last, the
excess was only $I5,ae8:9I. In the
three quarters beginning on the LIST Jan.
1924, the receipts exceeded the expen-
ditures by the sum of Sle,744:ss. The
transportation of the mail the present
year exceeds that OF the last, by 2s5. SIS
miles; the greater portion of which dis
lance it has been conveyed in stages
The report states, that, taking into view
the new routes and the increase of re-
ceipts on the old ones, the operations of
the Department have improved the pre-
sent year about $ioo,540:so. The pos
tage amounts to nearly Sl,200,O00 per
annun. A revision of the mail routes
and of the law regulating the Post Office
Department, it is thought, would have
a beneficial effect.

UNITED STATES NAVY.

We learn from the report Of the Sc
cretary, says the Family Visitor, which
accompanied the Presidents Message to
Congress, that nothing ofimportance has
occurred with our squadron in the Me-
diterranean the past year. The North
Carolina is to sail in few days to join
the squadron. which will be under the
command of Commodore Rodgers. The
squadron in the West-Indies, commands
ed by Com. Porter, has afforded much
protection to our commerce in that quar-
ter. The schooners Greyhound, and
Jackall, became unfit for service, and
were disposed of; and the Wild Cat is
supposed to have been lost on her pas
sage from Havana to Key-West The
frigate Constellation will join the squad
ron as soon as men can be enlisted for
the purpose. One of these vessels has
occasionally visited Africa in search of
slave ships. That traffic is carried on
to considerable extent under the flags of
other nations. The agency for recap
tured Africans is still maintained. The
squadron in the Pacific consists Of the
frigate United States, sloop Of war and
a schooner, under the command OF Com.
Hull. Our increasing commerce in that
quarter renders an additional force ne
cessary. The Secretary recommends
that provisions should be made for edu-
eating the younger officers Of the Navy,
and for building ten additional sloops of
war. 1t is estimated that the service will
require an expenditure OF S2,a9s, 900
the ensuing year.
