United States Postal Revenue.


Prom ihe Washington star.
Some weeks ago, We published in the
Star a tabular statement. showing the re-
ceipts from and the expenses of the postal
service OF the United States in the respec.
tive States of the Union during the years
ending June 30, 1857 and 1858. On that
occasion we were not allowed access to the
record showing the cost Of transportation,
aud hence our columns contained only the
aggregate Of the compensation of Postmas-
tiers and incidental ex penses of Post Offices.
Through the kindness of Henry st. George
Ofiutt, Esq, We are now able to add the
expenses OF transportation, copied from the
official record in manuscript, as the docu-
ment has not yet been printed. We give
this in the following table, which affords
convenient comparison of the entire ex.
penses Of the Department in the several
States during the years 1857 and 1858:

A CoAPLAiSr.--Wc take the liberty
modestly to commend the side walks Of the
city 10 municipal consideration. unIess
when some citizen more public spirited and
considerate Of the general veal loan tue

walk before his door, or successive suns nave
licked dry spot here and there--aii the
sidewalks Of the city are co'tfed WIN

very delicate and dangerous exercise. We
have seen boys skating with remarkabie
success along these walks, and barring The
crossings, q good skater might go The
distance from the Fuller 10 the Wlnslow
House without much difficulty. Now, in cit
les pretending 10 q certain degree Of civil
nation. it is made the duty Of persons own
ing or renting u certain am0nnt Of frontage
on the s,reet--to keep tho sidewalk on

And il Is made the duty Of the police to see

The city, and the expense charged to the

with great difficulty. Probably an hours
work during the whole winter 10y each oc.
