The total amount of expenditures settled
and paid during the year were 81. 296, S67 20.
On the subject of reducing the present rates
of postage, the Post Master General saws that
if Congress will provide, by annual appropri.
ations from the public Treasury or otherwise,
some $4,000 for the payment osmail trans
portation over rail roads and by steamboats,,
and will, besides, protect the Department a.
gainst the abuses of the franking privilege
and the inroads upon its revenue by private
expresses, that then the rates of postage NAV
be safely reduced to five and ten cents, which
will, in his opinion. yield sufficient revenue
to defray the remaining expenses of the De-
partment. and allow its gradual extension as
the demands of the community may require.

From the .Ntto York .Ameicai,
MAHOGANY COFFINS.

The great expense Of funerals, in the city OF New
York. is subject of general complaint. Hundreds
are yearly buried in this city in collins which cost
from S2S TO $50, whose estates, when examined by
their executors don't amount to 500.
Formerly an immense expense was created for
scsris. This expensive and absurd custom was alb
rogated as useless, and is no longer piaeisod. In
other parts of The United States instead Of mahogany
collins, whte-wood coffin is substituted, covered
with black muslin, over which the plate is put This
mode is appropriate, and costs about one sixth
of the price Of mahogany coffin, and removes all
temptation to make the coffin on more than one
occasion.
We have some curious details which we might
give ia relation TO the practices Of certain folks en-
gagged to furnish funerals and the procuring of vaults
and graves in this city, which we are not disposed to
mention
1t is certain that this subject deserves the attention
of the Common Council and II a committee was APP
pointed to inquire many facts on this subject would
be ELECTED, with which the public generally are unac
quainted /; and q knowledge of which would lead to
y reform that is much needed in this city. Nj.
