From the list which we this day publish, it will be seen that, since the 1st day of January last, no less than 976 new post offices have been established. Independently of this addition, one of the great western mails, formerly transported but three times a week, has been made a daily mail; and other arrangements, equally valuable, have been made to facilitate the arrivals and departures of the mail in other sections of the Union. Yet, notwithstanding these additions to the annual expenditure, the revenue of the Post Office Department, which has for some years past been inadequate to the expenditure, will, this year, we understand, in consequence of the new modes of business introduced by the present Postmaster General, be fully equal to the expenses, and will probably somewhat exceed them.
