THE SPECIAL COMMriTEE uppointcd to enquire into tlie present condition of tlic I'ost Office Departnirnt, with a view to the upplication of an efficient renicdv to the defects in its Organization and Management, have agreed to ilie followini; REPORT :— X OUR CoMiniittee have directed their attention, at an early period of the Session, to tlic Financial Affairs of the Uupartiucnt, its Receipts and Exjjcnditure, and the manner in which the surplus Revenue was dii-posed of. Your Committee have examined, at great length, the Deputy Post Master General, and called for various Statement*, Returns, Documents, and Correspondence, which, with the Evidence taken by Your Committee, will be found appended to this Report. The great number, and still incomplete state, of these Accounts, have, as yet, prevented Your Committee coming to a satisfactory coiiclnsion on the voluminous papers connected with the Finances of the Department which have been laid before them. Sufficient data have, however, been obtained to convince them that the Post Office Department in the Canadas has been made a xoiircc of Revenue to Great Britain, large sums having been annually remitted by the Deputy Post Master General to the General Post Office, Loii'lon. For the thirteen years ending in 1834 inclusive, the enormous sum of £'91,68.') Hs. 8(1. sterlini^, has been transmitted to England by the Post Office of this Province; the average remittance of the last four years being :6 10,041 13s. 4d. sterling, per annum. Your Committee would be wanting in their duty to Your Honorable House, and to the People of this Province, did they not take the first ofiportunity loudly to protest against this illegal violation of the plainest principles of constitutional law, and the fundamental rights of the good People of this Colony. However the circumstances of the case may have originally necessiiated the levying of this tax, previous to the establishment of a Representative form of (iovernmeiit in this Pixivince, from the moment such form of Government was established therein, the surplus derived from this source of Revenue ought to have been immediately placed at the disposal and under the control of ihu Representatives of tlie People, in conformity with one of the important and indisputable birth-rights of British subjects, which were more peculiarly acknowledged and confirmeil to Colonies having local Legislatures, by the faith and honor of the British Parliament pledged by the Declaratory Act of one thousand seven hundred anil seventy eight, the violation of which principle has already cost Great Britain so dear, in the dismemberment of the Empire, and the loss of the former British Colonies, now the flourishing and happy United States of .'\nierica. By the Act passed in the fourth year of His present Majesty's Reign, chapter twenty seven, His Majesty's Government I virtually admit the making of such remittances to be unconstitutional, and u violation of the rights of the subject. Vmir C'ommiiiee were, therefore, induced to hope that such practice would, at least, have been discontinued by the Deputy Post Master General, after he had become cognizant of the views of His Majesty's Government, as evinced in tliut Act. So far, however, from respecting the rights of Your Honorable House and of the People of this Province, I Your Committee perceive that that Ofliccr still continues to make these remittances. At an early date, when Your Conmiittee learnt thcit the Deputy Post Master General hnd already made a large [remittance on account of the last y>far, 1835, they gave that Officer to understand that very probably Your Honorable I House would hold him personally res|)onsible for any further remittances he might make to the (leiieral Post Office [in England, out of the Post Oflicc Revenues collecte, B.IHW : Kvr ihrM quariert, $a'l,UUO The sums thus remitted by that Officer to England, for the three quarters ending 5th October, 183.5, from the Post Office revenue collected by him in both Canadas, amount as per minute in the margin, to the large sum of Thirhf three thousand dollars e(]ual to Eight thousand two hundred andjiftij pounds currency. The People of both the Canadas, have, even by the admission of the Deputy Post Master General, been That Officer, although On the contrary he P* clamorous" in their demands for new Post Offices and increased Post Oflicc accommodation. Informed of these demands, has hitherto on various pretexts neglected to comply with them. ppnears to consi 32204 2 5 33096 <) 5 The The following is stated a« the amount of Postage paid by the Provincial Newspaper Printers for trantmittinr their Papers through the Post OflSce ; |832, 1833, 1834, , In Upper Canada, £952 In Lower Canada, £952 488 7 4 1 8 1121 592 4 7 2 10 5S4 18 9 622 5 1 L'1440 9 1713 7 3 1177 3 10 Your Committee cunnot say whether tliese sums are included in the items above mentioned under the head " Newspapers and Pamphlets." The whole of the Expenditure in both Provinces, for Salaries, Contingencies, and transiiort of Mails, for the above years, appears to be us follows : — 1832.

Under these circumstance3, no proper clieck can \iv expected I Your Committee have in the course of their enquiry 'carnt that the Post Master at Quebec is at the same time Gentleman Usher of the Black Kod to the Legislative Coimc..' ; these two situations are, in the opinion of Your Committee, |)erfcctly incompatible. — Tlicy therefore recommend tliat the Post Master at Quebec, be called on to ch(>os<> between these two situations, the public service requiring that the Post Muster be in constant atteiiilaiicv ut his office to superintend the responsible and important duties thereof. \'our Committee have next to call the attention of Your Honorable House to the gross discrepancies between the Return made to Your Committee, and that nuide to the Provincial (lovernnicnt as stated in the Blue Book, by the Deputy Post Master General of Ids Salary and Emoluments of office. Your Honorable House will be belter able to judge of the extent to which that Officer has deceived the King's Covernment by an examination of the following comparative Statement from Returns laid before Your Committee, ana those furnished by Mr. Stavner, for the Blue Book fo! the vears 1831, I8.'W, 18.13 and 1834 :— Your i; Province, ' Post (Jtlici \ Annu&l Salary and Emoluments of the Deputy Post M Rstcr General. .

The inimediate estahlishnieiit of a larj^e niiniber of new Pn^t OHices is immediately icquiied in this Province for the public ucconiinodalion in the following places: — In Amirnnc Lorctte, in the County of Quebec. In St. Augustin, Poinle unx Trembles, Stc, Culhcrine de Fitsfuinluult, Les ICiurruil.s, Deschambcuult and Grondina, in the County of Portneiif. In liatiscan and CkainpUtin, in (lie Coniiiy ofChampluin. Ill I'uinle du Luc, County of St. Maiiricp. In MS/. M(trt!ii, St. VineenI de Paul, ami Ste Tliirtwc, in the County of Terrebonne.

The greater number of these Offices may readily be established without incurring any additional expense, the places for which ihey are required being, with the exception of those in Gaspc and Bonaventure, on or in the neighbourhood of Post Koads already established. T'he degree of neglect in the Deputy Post Master General to extend Post Oilice accom- modation may at once be perceived from the fact that only eight Post Ofhces have been established along (he grand Mail Route between Quebec and Montreal, although there are a great many old and flourishing Villages between these two Cities, through which the Mail passes at present ten times a week. Your Honorable House ought to insist that Post Offices be established forthwith in each of the Villages above nientiuued, and also that Mails be transmitted along the South Shore of (he Kiver St. I .awrencc above nnd below Quebec more tlian once a week. The Island of Montreal, and (he Settlements on the banks of the Ottawa, and to the north of that River, require additional Mails, and in many places new Post Ullices. B Your Your CommiUM contidtr it pariicultrly their duty (o call ihr altmtion of Your HononbU Houm lo Iho eondiden of the Diitrict of Gaip<, which ii ami bap alway* been in a manner altogether deiiituta of Poet Office accommodation. From the anitwert of the Mrmbert of that District, it appeara that there ii but one Post Office in the whole of the County of Gasp^, and but *ery few in the County of Ilonaveninre. The Deputy Post Matter General ascribe* the cause to tho impassable state of the Road betwMn Mitis and the Kistiao che River (Bale del Chaleurt,) in consequence of which Letters addressed for Gasp<, are now sent through New Brunswick. No Mails are made up regularly at Quebec for Gaspi at present, the correspondence between that, as well oa the greater part of the adjeining County, with the other pirts of the Province, is thus very much impeded. Your Committee, perceiving that the 8iandinK Cctnmiliee on Roads have in their Second Report, now under the consideration nf Your Honotable House, recommended the srant of a turn of money to improve and complete the Road from Miti* to the Ristigouche, and an udditioiial sum for the maintenance of certain Potts for the relief of Travellers oa the same line, will abitain from making any remarks on this subject. By reference to ^ Statement hereunto annexed, a list will be found of variom application! which have been made to the Deputy Pott Master General since his return fh>m Enaland for the eatablitbmeni of new Pott Oflicet in thia Province. Several of these applications Your Committee regret have not at yet been attended to by that Officer, and much complaint hat in consequence been created. In a Letti r addressed 'jy that Officer to the Secretary of the General Post Office, England, dated iStb March, 1895, he gives it us hit opinion, that the Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, require at this time not leat than 500 new Post Officei, and that in ten years hence they will need 1000 at least. He complains, however, that being tiiiiated from 500 to 1000 milei from the source u( application ho cannot do justice to the cousideration of the questions arising from the numerous !:;^plications for encreased Pott Office accommodation, with which his desk is covered. Thia acknowledgment or '.ne pan of the head of the Post Office Department in these Provinces, together with the knowledge of the fact that Upper Canada would insist on a separate Post Office Establishment independant of the other Provinces, under the diri>ction and control of a local Provincial Post Master General, and other weighty reasons which it is uniie* ccssutyheie (o detail, induced Your Coiniuiiiee lo recommend u distinct Post Office EUlablishment under the control and miina)(>!iiient (M a local Provincial Post Master General alto for this Province, which arrangeiiient was provided for in the Bill wliicli Your Committee had the honor to submit for the consideration o(, and which wav approved by. Your Honorable House. — It only remains therefore (or Your Committee to hope that the said Bill will meet with the approbation of the iiiher brunches of the Legislature. — Your Committee have likewise turned their attention to the lo«s experienced by the Revenue by tlit'ir present practice of sending Letters by ihe Steamboats during the season of the navigation between Quebec and Montreal. That Iub» is calculated to amount to at least X'2500 per annum. Your Honorable House having in the Post Office Bill, lately passed, provided remedy, as far as it was in yorir power, to this great lott to the Revenue, the retpontibiliiy of such loss, if that Bill do not become Law, must full upon that branch of the Legislature which refuses to sanction the remedy proposed.

Your Committee having made a special Report already on tbit head abstain from making any further remark thereon, further than lo recommend that the Deputy Post Matter General may make the proper arrangeinentt to prevent the recurrence of timilar losses to the public. It was the intention of Your Committee to have laid before Your Honorable House a series of Statistical information at to the number of sheets of NewspaperR printed within these Provinces, at well at of the number of theett of United Slates papers received therein. With this view they caused circulars to be addressed to the several Newspaper printers and Post Masters in both Provinces, who were requested to reply to Queries addressed to them by order of Your Committee. The intc'estin^ object Your Committee had in view, has, they regret to say, been entirely frustrated bv the un- willingness and refusal of most of those to whom those circulars were addressed, to give the full information which Your Commiti'.'e desired to obtain, 't is to be hoped however that when this subject it again taken up, that the enquiry will meet with a more favorable r< nult. In the couise of their enquiry Your Committee referred, as in duly bound, to the Reports of, and the evidence taken by, preceding Committees of Your Honorable House, relative to the Post Office Department, and have been much struck with the pertinacity with which the Deputy Post Master General refused to give those Committees any information relative to the finances of the OefMrtment, and the amount of his Emoluments ; and must remark, that tPr:^ of ihsir Ubor •'t'-'-j^ .'"■;■ condition DmodKlioiii the County uie to ih« ;e of which Quebec for I the other under the te the Koad Vavellers oa have been fTicef in thie )fficer, and larch, 1835, n 500 new ng eiuiaied itiuni arising tred.

From certain parti of the correipondence between that Officer and the Seeret.-^ry of the Department in Ix>ndon, which hat come under the obtervaiion of Your Committee, it appeart that previout to being called before the Committee of Your Honorable Houie in 1831, Mr. Hiayner pre< important" in the writer's estimation. Was properly of no moment in that of the ^Commiiine. The couimunicaiion referred to will be found in the Appendix to this Ueport. Your Committee would respectfully submit, that Public Officers should be obliged when performing their public duties, to abstain fur the future from remark* which cannot answer any good purpose, and which must at belt be both ill- timrd and ill>placed. The duty of ihb Deputy Post Master General here ia merely to accommodate the public as far at hit m<:anatchet reflecting on superior authority, or in endeavouring to protect himself and his Department from that wholesome scrutiny which they stand so much in need ol. Your Committee would not have alluded to this matter, were it not that they perceived in a Letter from that Officer to Mr. Fret-ling, dated SOth March, 1833, a latent desire to act by the House of Aasembly of Upper Canada, in the tame hmanner that lie for two (^eosiona acted towards Committees of Your Honorable House. It is to be hoped, however, that prmnest on the part of Your Honorable House, and a determiiialion on the part of Hit Majesty's Government to iditcountenance a repetition of such improper conduct in Public Officers, will put an end for ever to that concealment lirhich hat, until now, so constantly enveloped the affairs of the Vclion iiliiioitl detlitule of inhabitants, bIwU nev«rthelc«» have regular inaiU, according to its cnprice, itdecides that one place fthtiil have a daily mail, another a weekly mail, another only 8enii-weekly, and Roon; it taxes Newspapers and oiher Printed Papers such a sum per ap'uim, as it thinks lit, and this sum the Deputy Post Master General choosts tn cuniiidrr his pcrquitiie, whatever may be its an.ounl, obliging the parties who mail their correspondence to pay, or ordering, if it iliiiiks fit, ihul tticir juurnnls shall no longer pass in the mails ; in short, it is u very bad substitute for a Provincial Pom Officp, which would be rcKulalcd by Law, and the revenue appropriated (as all ihe revenue ot a Colony ought to be) under the authority ofilie If^ji^lmure. My first attempt to obtain u beiier order of things in Upper Canadn, was in \H'J(i ; in January that year, the House of A^eembly addressed the King, staling that the clause from the 18th ofdcorge III, introduced into thelJlst of lliesauie Kei<;n,which directs that all monies raised in Upper Canada are to be accounted for beluri: the Mouse of AsseMdilv,and to be appropriated by ihut Mouse, whs by them held to bea fundamental part of the Coiistiintion; time the P(i>il Ollice Department raised money ill Upper Canada contrary to the spirit of the said ^ I st (>eo, .'ird, clauses 4(>lli iind tTili ; and that in order to prevent abuiieH, found to exijt, lacililate conimercia! intercourse, and promote the dill'usi";i of kmuvledgo, a I'lovincial Post Office, responsible to the consiit'iied uiiihorities in Upper Canitda, would be the fitting leiu'vly. Mis MnjeHty returned no answer to this Address. In I8V0, ' 'vas Chaiiinan of a Conunitlee of the Mouse of Assembly to encpiirc into the state ol' the Post Ollice Department, but Mr. Stayni-r would not transmit inli>rmation concerning his receipts and expeiuliturcs ; other elForts have beLMi made since then, both in Upper iind I/iwer Cannda, to improve the system ; and in kingland in I8:i2, the (piestion was brought before the Mouse orCumuions,by the Petiiion of nieny thousandxd the Colonists complaining of a Hrilish interference con- trary to Law ; this was fbllowed ii|i by strong lepro^enliiiions to thctoloniiil Department by Mr. Viger and niysi'lf ; we had severally inieiview!< with Members of (he Uriiish (iuvernmont on the subject, and at last it was determined to wnil lor Mr.Stayner to London; he handed to Sir F, Creeling, rci tain delsiU of the Revenue of the Post Office, which were laid before Parliament in Answer to an Address moved by Mr. Muiiie. Mr. Stayner exhibited great unwillingness to tell either the liiiiish Parliament or the Upper Canada Lcgi»l«l'"e, what the Kevenue was, and last winter the Mouse of Assembly of Upper (.:iinada refi^rred the PoKt Ollice ipietiion lo the Coiiiniitiee on (iriovances, which reporleil an Address to Mis Kxi-ellency tor inlormution, no part of which WHS obtained during that Session, ulihouuh i( lusted nearly two months after the Address had been sent up to the Lieutenant (.iovernur.

[iriVne.v.f here handed in the following Letter :] t'npij of a Letter from Daniel iS'u//tf)7nnrf, Ksijuire, Deputy Post Master General, to William Lyon McKenzie, Esquire, .Sir, Quebec, 1st June, 1834. I have to acknowiedse the receipt of your letter of 18th ultimo, relative to the conveyance of Newspapers through the I'ost Oflire, ntiil mgaestiiig iinpiovetneiits, which i am not authorized lo adopt, sullice it to saj, that I think myself very fortunate, ll 1 can toll' w the plan laid down by my superior-, into ell'ect, through so Very new and so very extensive a countiy. All W'.ekly News|)Hpeis tirinted on one sheet, once a week, are charged at the rate of 4s. each, per annum, and payable qunrieily, by the Printcis, ami if twice, on one or u half sheet, .Os., and payable in same way. It is easier for tha proprietor lo collect the posage aliuig with thesubscri|itiiiiis. than liir the I'ost Master to receive about one penny on coch, from such a number of porsiiic. and keepa disiinct account llicieo!', many ol'whnm perhaps do not go to the Post Office once in six months. Nopcrsoiiiii the Colonies is exempt Iron) paying postage, except theOlhceis of the Post Ollice, and no Newspapers either going to or coining from tiieul Ihiiain, are e»eiu|vi liiiui paying Packet P.).i/iit;e, unless franked by Mr. I'leeling. Members of the Imperial Parliament liave no right to trai>li out of the Kingiloin, and papers iidiiressed to them would be subject lo Packet Postage. Post Masters havcaright to St id and leeeive then own Colonial lieliers, free of Postage, !' it not to frank tliose of siiangeis. Papers iroin the United States, passing through our Post Ollice, are liable lo pay one |H!iiiiy each fi)r the trunspott, and which must necessarily be received froiu the persons lo *vhoin they aie directed or delivered. it cannot be necessary (br me to point out ihe dlirerence between Greitt Britain and this Country, in the one, scarcely any diing but Turnpike Ituails, and in the other, when Roads at certain seasons of the year ate neatly Mn|)a»8iblc, by cither man or liorse, , in order that U'ttcr 10 horse, and if the Portnanteaus are stuffed full of Newspapers, or Printed Papers, to the exclusionof all epistolary correspondence, how would the expenses of the Couriers, or Mail Carriers, be defrayed ? — I do not mean by this to throw any obstacle in the way of increasing the number of Newspapers throughout the Canadas — very far from it, I would much rather encourage their circulation ; but it must be evident to you, that at present, there are many insurmountable ditliculties in the way. I am. Sir, Your most obedient servant, D. SUTHERLAND, 1 am entitled to receive a Paper from each Printer, (gratis.) D. P. M, G. To Mr. VV. L. McKenzie. Ordered, — That Thomas Allen Slayner, Esnuire, Deputy Posl-Mastcr-Gencral, do appear before this Committee to-morrow, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and that he do bring with him the following Documents : A Keturn of (he Establishment of the General Post Office in Upper and Iiowcr Canada, and in each of the other Colonies in North America, for the years 1832, 1833 and IKU, slating the number of Post Masters and Deputy Post Masters in each Province; the amount of salary, allowances and ernoiunienlM, and the name of each Post Master and Deputy Post Master in Upper and l.owcr Canada ; shewing the salary, allowances, fees and the whole income they severally received, and from what sources it JM derived, and the authority under which the same \* paid them ; staling also the gross amount of revenue collected at each Post OlFice in I'pper Canada, and the whole expanse of collecting the same ; with the contingent expenses incurred in the Caiiadus in detail, so far as it can be shewn; particularly the expense uf conveying the Mails, with the name of each Mail C'oMtrartnr, the nmoiint received by him, and the rates at which the Mails arc conveyeii. A Keturn of the gross amount of Postage in Upper and Lower Canada, and each of ihc other Colonies in North America, distinguishing each of the years ISJ'^, I8JJ and IS34 ; distinguishing also the amount of Newspaper and Pamphlet Postage charged, from the amount of Letter Postage received at each Oflice, and shewing in what manner the proceeds have been .applied A Statement of the gross amount of Newspaper Postage paid by each Printer or Proprietor of Newspapers in the Canadas and other Colonics in North America, in each of the years 1832, 1833 and I8.'i4, shewing in what manner the proceeds have l>pon appropriated, with copy of any orders, despatches, or other authority under which such Postages have been exacted in the Colonies during the last ten years. A Statement shewing^ in detail the emnluments of the Deputy I'ost Master General of British North America, whether from salary, fees, ullowancci<, Newspaper Postages, Pamphlet Postages, per centages on the collection of the United States Letter or Newspaper Postage, or from any other source whatever, during the years 183'^, 1833 and 1834 ; and shewing the authority under which he received the several items of income. A Statement shewing the Postage paid by the Patriot Newspaper, first published at Kingston, and in Toronto from the commencement of the series, with the dates of the several payments. A Statement shewing the sums remitleil liy the General Post Oflice Department in Canada, and the other British Colonics, to the General Post Office, London, and also the United Slates Postage, remitted to the Post Oflice Department of the United Slates, in and for the years 182/, I82S, 1829, 1830, Islil, 1832, 1833 and 1834, and staling the balance now in the hands of the Deputy Post Master General at Quebec, and the period up lo which the last remittance to London was made.

A Keturn shewing the several classes of persons who frank Letters, or who have the privilege of Irnnsmilling Letters through the Post Oflice at reduced rales of Pusiuge, with the extent to which their privileges extend. Haturdaxj, \Ath November, 18.'3i». Thomas Alien Htuyner, Estjuire, called in ; and examined : — The Witness having been asked to produce the several Returns required by the Order of the Cmnmitlee, dated yesterday, replied that the said Kelurns are not all coinpieic, but shall be prepared lo produce t>uch us are ready on Monday next. The remainder of the Documents required, or such as it is possible to produce, will be ready ou Monilay week. 1. — Are the Townships, Parishes, and principal Villages of Upper and Lower Canada accomnuulaled with Post Offices at convenient distances? — In many parts, I conceive that they are, but in a great many other portions, owing principally to tho rapid spread of population of late years, there arc portions which are not, as yet, sulliciently accnniinodated ; but I am using every exertion to supply the wants of every portion nf these Provinces. 1 beg here to observe that my long detention in England, on business nf the Department in the years 1833 and 1834, interfered very seriously with the increase of Post accoiu- I, odalion in the Country, as during that interval it was not possible for the persons left i.i the Icniporary charge of the Department by me, to attend lo that branch nf duly, it being one demanding t*ic exercise of a degree of Judgmenl, and imrlicular knowledge of the localities of the Country, which could not be found, except in a person posseiising ihe advantage of a long experience and study. 2 — Please furnish a Return of ihe Names nf the several Parishes, Townships and other places in Upper and Lower Canada in which Post Offices are at present established, the dales of their establishment, and \\,.' a.ithoriiy under winch the tamo were created, with the distances of each Post Oflice from (juehic, and the rates..' Postage charged on (tingle Letters by tho present Tariff.' — Tho Witness will be Imppy to fiiriiish the iiifurnialion required, to the best of his ability. 3. — What arc your special inslriiclioiis to the several Post Masters in the Canadas, wiih regard to Olfico hours; and can you place before this Committee any general Code of instructions made out by yon, or liy the Deparlincnt, for the guidance of Deputy Post Masters, Mail Contractors and others? — My instructions w'tli regard lo Office hours are contained in a Book of Instructions to my Deputies — Article WIV. This Book I shall bo happy to lay before the Committee. — liistruiStions for the government of Mail Contractors and their servants, are for the most part contained in the fiirin of contract subacribcd to by them, — and by an Oath of Office or Allirnialion taken by every I'o.il Master or Mail Driver— one copy of which is left with him for liis government. (Jopies of tlie^' iiHlniinenls I shall lay before the Conimittue. «.— .Do 11 reapondencc, le in the way r circulation ; e to-morrow. tt Colonics in ich Province; in Upp«r and 'hat Bources it Iccted at each iurrcd in the of each Mail orih America, phlet Postage eds have been 1 ilio Canadas proceeds have exacted in the whether from ates Letter or jthorily under tnto from the iliah Colonics, of the United I the hands of orih America, llalifuSjIo lions beyond itting Letters _od ycsterdnjf, ^londiy next. oowcr Canada ch the same ^•tters by the hours ; and the guidance led in a Book tructiont for subscribed to ch is left with fJ.-.Do li, — Do you think the compensation now mndn to Country Post Masters, sufficient to remunerate them for their trouble, especially that of delivering Newspapers and other Printed Papers ?— I think that, generally speaking, Country Post Masters are not suflicienily remunerated for thoir trouble. They receive an allowance of SO per cent, on the net Letter Postage collected ; and at many Offices the receipts are ho email, that if a Post Master were paid the whole amount of Postage collected by him, as a personal compensntion, it might even then be siiid that he is badly paid, compared to what he might make by his labour in other pursuits. As regards compensation to Post Masters for delivering Newspapers and other Printed Papers, I beg to explain that, on all such Papers mailed at their Oflices, and the transmission of which, (under my privilege) is paid for at the time of posting, the Post Masters are compensated by me, generally in the same ratio that they are compensated for their trouble with Letters — but for delivering out Newspapers which reach them from other Oflices, they receivo no compensation. It may not he improper hereto remark, that the privilege of free Postage enjoyed by them lo a certain extent, is in many cases, considered by Post Masters as the chief reward fur their services, and I believe it is with many the principal reason for taking and holding Office ; but this udvantiigc operates unequally. With Country Merchants it is ot great importance, whereas with pertons of limited correspondence, the advantage is often trifling. 5. — Will you sinte to the Committee to what extent this free PiHisge extends, as applied to Country Post Masters? — The privilege is the same with all Post Masters, they are allowed to receive free and to frank Double Letters, or half ounce Packages, on their own business. 6 — Hy what law or instruction is a certain limit fixed to the privilege of Posi Masters ; — if any, fiom what source does it proceed? — It is a Kegulation originating with i lie Post Master General, and iirif ng out of the peculiar circiimslances of the I country, — in short the impossibility, as it was siiiiposed, of procuring Post Mastiirs, and conducting a Post Office Blstablishment, ! wiihoiit allowing to Post Masters the right of (lee Postage for their personal correspondence. I beg to add that 1 am not in possession of the original authority containing the Krgiilalion in question, nor of any Order fVom the Post Mabter General on the subject. When I was appointed to my present sitiiHliDO in the Depariinent, I found the right of franking greatly abused by Post Masters, and 1 have Ijecn obliged to issue orders, forbidding them to frank or to receive free Packages, exceeding the limits above described. ji 7. — The Committee are then to understand that yon have no authority to impose limits to this privilege, except your own ? — M I do not con!«ider, from any thing I have said, that it is to be inf'eried I have arrogated to myself the right of fixing limits to the 1 privilege of Post Masters in this matter. 1 meant not to convey such nn idea. It was explained to me by my predecessor, the late « Mr. Sutherland, upon my assuming my present Oflicr, that Post Masters had always enjoyed the right of free Postage, the '^ understanding being, however, that the limits should be half an ounce. 1 soon discovered that this limit was disregarded by many ~i Post Masters, and that the Province was seriou.-ly injured thereby, and as soon as possible, I endeavoured to put a stop to thea'juse. ^' When I published a book of printed Instructions, fur the guidance of my Deputies, I inserted an Article on the subject of this Erivilcge, and I sent a copy of that book of Instructions to the Post Master (ieneral, of which I was given to understand His lordship approved. 8, — VVill you lay before the Committee, Copies of your Instructions (o Post Masters for their guidance in franking; and also ' slate to the Committee how, nod by whom, vuu were given to understand that the Post Rlaster General had approved of such ^Ii.structions? — I will lay before the Committee t'opie-t of my Instructions to Post Masters for their guidance relating to franking. »^ Witb respect to the approval of those Instructions by the Post Master (icMieral, I never received any written signification to that 'ieflect, but in my frequent conversations with the Duke of Uirhiuond, the late Post Master General, and the Secretary of the ^General Post Office, in ]Ki'J and IKJl, the subject of the franking piivilege enjoyed 'jy Post Masters in the Provinces was Ifrequently diecusscd, amongst other mailers connected with the interior economy of the Depaninciil, when I fully explained all that Iliad ever taken place io reference to it. Those Ofliceis appcurcil to think that i Imd acted with judgment and zeal in what I had ■done. 9. — Then the Committee are to understand that you have no written or documcntarij authority, in regard to the limits which 'you have fixed to the franking privilege ? — Yes. 10. — What was the authority upon which (he late Mr. Snlheilnnd gave you to undcrstnnd that Post Masters had enjoyed a right to the privilege of fianking and receiving leileis, toateiuun exioni, free of Postage? — The Inie Mr. Sutherland gave me to ^iinderslanu what I iiave had ihe honor to stale lo the Couiniitie..' iu iiiv answers lo (piestions Nos. ti and 7, namely, that it was upon llie aulhiuily uf the Post Master (ieneral, and (as he lu'lievcil) coeval with the ti>rination ot (he I'tisi Olhce Kstablishment in the polonies. He had never sern any wrilttii or priiitod auiliorilv lii; it, but had purs'ied the practice as he fjund it when he was kppointed Deputy Post Master (ieiirrul. I recolletl also (ha( Mr. iSiiihcilaiid iidi>riued me that when he was in i^ngland, in 1S37, pe had some conversation with the Post Office aullioriiies there, upon this subject, with the view of endeavouring lo devise some plan lor a tliau^e in a system which he thought a Imd one, but that nothing was decided upon. < II. — Are you arquainted with the Hegulations in loice in (ireat iiritain and Ireland on the foregoing subject ; and whether lie Post Masters, or |)ersuns in charge of Post Oflices in those countries, enjov the same privileges us iliose referred to in the |ri'ceding answers r — In Great Hrilain and Ireland, the l)i|)ulics, as thev arc called, i. c. Post Masters, do not possess a frankin" jivilegr, coiresponding with that enjoyed by Post Masters in this country. They have the right {I believe) of sending and receiving all their corrtspondence on the public business of the Department. Post Masters in those countries receive a fixed COm|R>nsa(ion for their services, in the shape of an annual stipend j and, us regards their private correspondence, possess no •dvBiiIHges over the public at laige. 1'-^. — Will you have the goodness to shew this Committee the law by authority of which you levy ;i tax upon Newspapers ttid other Prin(ed Papers, trunsmitied through iIip Post Oflice? — I cannot produce a Law by authority of which I make a charge |br ttansuiitting Newspa))crs and other Printeil Papers tliruugli the Post OflTiee. The grounds, however, under which I have sfxercised the right of receiving a coHniderHtiim for iransiiiiiting such Papers, and of appropriating that consideration as an l^iiiulnuieni to myself, will be found explained in one of the Siulemenis which i am called upon by the Committee to lay before it. '* 13 — t'an you exercise any right in collecting taxes on Newsp.ipers not recognized or sanctioned by Law; or do you .fonceivc that any usage, precedent, or custom can give you a right to lux any portion of His Majesty's subjects without the i :pres8 consent of Parliament? — To answer this tpiestioM in one word, I would say " No," that is, I have no right to lay any fax not sanclioued by Law ; but I have always believed Ihat the Post Master (icneral of l^ngland, in permitting his Deputy this Country to send Newrpapers through the Post for a compensation to himself, was borne out by Law. I cannot with bonfidence point to that IjBW, and say, " this is the authorilv," but there is an Act in Ihe Post Ofli ; Law passed in the 4th krear of (.ieorge the '3i\, chapter '24, which has struck me as being Ihe ground upon which Ihe Post Master General has exercissd the right in question, and under which the successive Jepntv Post Masters General of these Provinces have enjoyed the benefit bhereof; — ihe section of the Act, which I allude to, 1 will "lay before the Commi lie, without, however, presuming to say that It is ilie auihoriiy which governed the Head of Ihe Cicueral I'osiOflice in conferring the privilej;e. it may not, 1 trust, be deemed Lil of place, ifl here observe Ihat the Deputy Post Master (jeiieral in Jamaica, (in which Country Ihe same Post Office Laws k)revail, which at present govern us here) possesses the exclusive right of sending Newspapers by the Posts in that Island, — and Ill-rives a personal emolument therefrom :— neither will it, I hope, be thought improper iu me to observe, that but tor the rxercise of this right, or privilege, in either Country, tlio circulation of Newspapers by the Post would have been virtually Ijirohibiied, since the alternative would be lo send tlieiu charged with Postage as Letters. 14. — How can that Law be applied to the Canadas ; has it any relereiico specially to them ? — The Committee will bo • tiahled lojudge, when I lay it bclbru them. It refers, I coiieeive, lo certain Deputies of the Post Master (Jfcncral in all Coiiutries, 12 H Countries, and I believe that I nin one of tlioae mennt to be included ; but n, ih> uiousure of compensation to be allowed me for rendering; tliera that service. I cannot, nor do not, exact this tux or wliaivver eJM it may bo called, in the ordinary meunir? of the term " exact," but it has been mutually agreed upon as a qimultini meruit to the Deputy Post Master (leneral for rendering the service ; and that Printers have found it the cheapeiit way of ||;etling the service in question performed is very evident, or they would have adopted some other mode of conveyance for their Papers. It is perhaps only proper for me here to observe, that I have never altered any of the rates charged upon Printers or others tor sending News- papers or Pamphlets through the Post, but have conflned myself to the scale acted upon by my predecessor whom I succeeded nearly rii^ht ypnrs ago. In his time, however, there were, I believe, no Newspapers publiiihed iti the Province more frequently than twice a week. When certain Presses commenced publishing thrice a week or oftciier, the Proprietors applied to me to know at what rate I would undertake tu forward them; I agreed with them upon the amount, and the rates then agreed upon have been adhered to up to this time. % >^ Monday, \6lh November, 1835. 77ic;/>i»s .<4//en 5^(j/Mer, Esquire, being again called in, dvlivoifti in certain Returns, (i4pjicndix,^ot,HoQ5,) with the following Letters : — Sir.

Copies of the Statements required by the House of Asaenibly of Upper Canada, during its last Session, but which I found it impoesible to prepare witli'n tiie lime prescribed, owing principally to the necessity of referring tu distant Post Cilices fur iiiforuiaiion on several muleriai points of ilie requisition.

' 19 [low are (he expenses attending ihe transmission of Newspapers and Pamphlets defrayed ? — I have no reason to think that any expense has been incurred by the sending of Newspapers and Pamphlets ; — they go in the same Portmanteaus with Ihe Letters, and were no Newspapers sent, the Contractors charge would probably be the same (hat they have been, as they would have precisely the same number of journies to perform, whether they conveyed Printed Papers or not. I make thia I obseivniion with reference to the time thai is pant, and as the result of my ob'servatioii and experience in the business of the \ I'oKt OfTice up In the present moment; but I consider it right to state also, that fram the disposition manifested in almost 4 every iiuarter of these Provinces to multiply Newspaper and Pamphlet publications, the period is not far distant when it will i be nccosHary lo send Newspapers and other Periodicals by a separate conveyance to the Mails of Letters, as is already done ii upon some of the important Koutes in the neighbouring States, in which event there would unquestionably be an additional expense iinposed upon Government for the conveyance of such Printed Papers. y(j.

[Pliiriil iiiii'iiif; the files nf tin- Sessiini ] \ Also, Extracts from his Instructions to his l)epi>iie!<, relative to Franking.

Iqiiesliun as my privilege. These recognitions will appear amongst the papers which I have already handed in to iheComiiiittee. 31, — Do you consider ihe auihoi'ity referred to in the last anrwer sufticient (if you had it) to authorize yon lo appropriate lo your private advantage the proceeds ot the Post Office derived from other sources, although there existed no Statute Law to sanction it ?->! do not consider that any authority could justify my actinu contrary to Law, 38. — If it Mould, in your opinion, rt to l>elong to the Public, is not Uuvernment ilien put to some uxpen'ie by the transmission of Newspapers through the Post Office? — If the Post Masters at any iliue, employed ilH)se Clerks in the management of the Newspapers which they paid out ot their Government allowance, ihny no doubt employed the Clerks which they paid out of the Fund granted them by me, about the other business of the Oflice ; and I conceive that one was equivalent to the other, and that Ciuvernmeni susiuined no loss thereby. It was unavoidable that the Newspaper business should be managed in the Post Oflice, and the Post Master would either attend lo it himtelf or get it done by olliers. I beg here to observe ihut I have never thought it a part of my duty to enquire, whether H Post Master who receives an allowance for Aseistanoe, pays awny ihc whole of that allowance for Clerks or not. if he can get the duty done by members of his own family without charge, he has a right lo do so. 37.— What new armngement has taken place in the Quebec and Monti eal Offices since October, 1834 ? — The arrangement which took place in October, 1834, is described in a Keiiim, No. 3 [Apjimdix No. 4] — which 1 handed lo the Committee on the 16th instant, a new apportionment of some of the duties of the Head Quarter Department was made, by which, instead of allowing tne £iQQ. a year for Clerks, ihnt allowance was taken from me, and thedifltn-ent branches had hands assigned to them, all paid by Government, equal as it was supposed to do the duty in an efficient manner. It formed part of the new arrangement, that the Accounts should be examined end compileil, not as heretofore in my immediate Office, but by an Accountant and Clerks appointed by the Post Master General. This Branch was made strong in hands, not only to enable them to attend to the additional duty assigned to them at once by the Post Master General, — that onncorporuting the Accountt of the Lower Provinces, with those of the Caiittdas ; but with a view to meet the increasing duties ot the Post Office generally, in the expecteil extension of business which it was known might be counted upon. The above refers to Quebec. No new arrangement has yet been made fur the Montreal Oflice. 38. — Will you be pleased to hand in the Names of the several Officers referred to in the said Return ? — The Names of the scveial Officers are as Ibllowti : — T. A. Stayner, Dy. P M.CJenl. William (irillin, ('leik to Ditto. ICdwiii King, .Accoiifitant. V. Daiiilny, 1st llerk. — Keuiliii, '.M Ditto. .Fohn Sewell, Ih Clerk, .Sorting f)flico. D.

William Griffin wa;i appointed uiy Clerk in May last, previous to that the situation wus held by Fietiry Griffin, who was then made Post Office Surveyor. •39. — By whom are these several persons appointed, and from what suurces ate they paid ? — The Post Master General formed the Eatmblishment, tluit is, he fixed the number of persuns, and the salaries to each, and besides approving of me, as D<>puty Post Master General, he himself appointed, and sent out from England, the Aceountaiii and his two Clerks. The rest ot tlie individuals whose names are given in my last answer, were ap|ioinied by me. All those peraoni receive their p«y out of the Post Office Hevenuc. 40. — Part of the time of these Officers and persons whose salaries are ilerived excluMvely from the Post Office Rerenue, being occupied in receiving, distributing and delivering Newspapers and other Primed Papers, dues it not follow, that Govern- ment therefore contributes partly to the expenses uttenilunt on tlic transiuissiun of New>pn|)crs and other I'rinted Papers through the Post Office ? — In one sense this indaction may be admitted, in the present coiittitaiion of the individual Office at Quebec ; but I beg to observe that this constitution or esiablbhnient was formed by the Post Master General under Ihc iiDpres.sion that the Post Oflice Act for the several Provinces, which >vas recently prepared in Er '.and, and submitted to liic respective Legislatures by Mr. Secretary Rice, would take effect iii Januury, I89(i, when my New.«paper privilege vtrould cease. It was in order to be p^-epared for the great change in the luisiuess at Quebec, wiiich it was supposed would then take jplace, that the Post Master General thimghi it advisable to form u more complete establishment for the Head Quart(.-rs of the Department, than had previously existed. I 4L — Do you intend to continue not only to e.\Bct Postage on NeivHpvpers and other Printed Papers transmitted through I the Post OtficCf but also to appropriate the proceeds to your own private udvuntnge, in ihe absence of all Law to sanction the j proceeding, Dotwithstaoding you admit that under the' new arrangement the expenses attendant thereupon are borne at Quebec exclusively by the Post Oflice Revenue ; and although you have also uilmitted that you in no way contribute to the . expenses of the trausmia.sion of the Mails?— Until I receive OrdiTs from the Post Master General, 1 must continue the present \ usage : iu fact I should be perfectly at a loss to know what other plan to pursue. 1 must cither continue the present course, or tax those Newspapers and Pamphlets with regular }iostage, which it is well known would at once put a stop to their trauimitsion 1 'itttd 15 I not form aciorn for laid out of ds to your SUE, in the ady itated ompensate the Office sist me in considered ine, I hate \iRve done II Clerk out ither about centage or , ihe Toblic ument.

I'^or Montreal there is at present dhlV one allowed Hlie salary ehart^ed to the i\)st Office lor this service is £30. a year. At Quebec under the establishment to ^liich 1 have hefoi* referred and which came into operation in October, 1834, there are three — the first of them receive £60, a (k^,^|. ^iiie other t<^ £.^8. eiteh. It has always been the custom for the lx>tter Carrier to receive a I'enuy upon each Letter from Uie person lo wli«) lie ililivers it, as u i'Ve or Graiiilty to himself. This is never cj'ac/fi/, and I have always instructed the Carriers tn exphiiiTo the Public, that lliey are not o!>liL;eil to pay this Penny. Some tew individuals have refused to pay it, %nt most persons ive it clieerlully, knowing' that the salary of the (carriers is in itself a very scanty reward for a duty which in fhis climftte is pai*cularly tronblesoine and painful. At Three Rivers (here is no established Letter Carrier, but the Post Master feceivps a i>mall al>«rance for sending out L(>tter^', of, I think, one halfpenny each Letter. 1 have some time since rccom- ttaended tliat Monleiil should he put upon tlie same footing as Quebec, \fitli regard to Letter Carrriers, or at all events that Sere stionld be t» (setter Carriers for that Town upon an improved rate of pay, and 1 believe it is the intention of the Post aster General I iMke this arrangement. The Post Master at Montreal derives the above mentioned Thirty pounds as if fur one Ijctter Cirier, but 1 believe he employs two or more, and they are no doubt chiefly compensated out of the Penny |Mcit«d IVom imtiduals. t 44.— At* thdiCtler Carriers allowed to receive a penny ou Newspapers delivered by them ? — I was not aware tliat they 4cceived a (tennjon Newspapers, but f have understood that in some of the Towns it is the custom (or Merchants or HionM.>holders to ire a gratnity at Cliristmas to liCtter Carriers for taking out their Newspapers. I may further remark that I ««ve never consrred it as forming a part of a Letter Currier's duty to deliver at the houses of Subscribers those Newspapers \V'lieii Newspapers are sent as L"P"ty '\ie rest of the out of the Post ffice Retrenoe, , that Govern- rinted Papers idual Office at ral under the md submitted per privilege upnsed would It for the Head »hliewiiik( tiie balances, i! any, remaining each year, distinguishing in the leceipts of eac^ear, the Anioinit received for Letter Po>iage, and Newspaper and Pamphlet I'ostage, and shewing the t mount rxpenil under the several heads uf : Paid DepnIPost Master (lOneral (Salary, Allowances, &c. .Newspaper privilege and United States Agency.)

The Pust Master uf N iagara keeps an account t'ith the Uuitt^tiites Post Office for the correspundence of tliat Town alone, which 1 incorpoiate in my accounts with the )epartment aiKashiugton. At Brockvillc also the I'usl Master keeps an account with the American Post .Master opposite, of k'liich I have ifer received a statement. 50 — Pleailay before the Committee copies of the several Post Masters' Accounts C'lirrent to the General Post Office for _ lilted Sttites 'stage on Letters and Newspapers received at and sent from Qucenston, Prescolt, Niagrra^ and Stanstead, for rach of the Qiiters ending Slst March, 30th June, 3Uth September, and iUst December, 1834 i — I will co so. 5L — Do « receive, a« a perquisite, a copy (y^ra/i«) of each of the Newsnapers published in this Province or in Upper [Canada, or duou consider that you are entitled to receive such a perquisite ? — Many of the Primers in the Canadas send me a [Copy (grnlis) their Newspapers, I may say that I consider myself entitled to a Copy as a perquisite, though I have never Ktlached inticViiportanivc to it, because another free Copy is sent to the Post Master of the place, which I can always see and irettd if I thinkroper. 52, — Aretu not called on annually by the Head of the Executive in this Province to furnish a Return of the amount derived by yofroin your Office, whether as salary, fees ur cinoluinents, for the information of His Majesty's Government in England ?— (n 53,_Ple» furnirh the Committee with a Copy of the Return which you made for the year 1834 ?— 1 will. 54, — Fu^h the Committee with a Copy of your Letter to tlie Secretary to the General Post Office, forwarding Copy of a f i Petition fron#c Printers in Lower Canada to His Excellemy sir James Kempt, then Guveinor of the Province, praying that ' Papers 'i 08 ir> Pnper» might be circulated "Free of I'a8ln({e as in England," lu which you refer at the fool of the StateinenI No. 16, [_^ppendix No. I7J laid by you befur: this CoiiimitiCt> ) — I will do to. 5b. — l^y before ihia Conimittee, Copy of the reply received from the General Post Oflice to your Letter, dated Quebec, 99||| March, 1835, Mfhich you addresard to Sir Francis Freeling i — I have received no answer to that Letter. 56. — At wbai |)«-riod4Bre your Quarterly Accounts made up? — 5th January, 5ih April, 5th July and 5th October. 57. — Furnish a Stateroeiit of the sums iransiniiied to F.ngland by you, lor the Quarters of 1835 ? — I will do so. 58. — Are there any other Officers connected with the Pom Office Department in the Canadas besides thow enumerated in your Hclurns, and in your answar J8 ? — None receiving Pay from the Department, except two Surveyors appointed this year. 59 — What arc the names of those Oflicprs, and what are their dutiua, and pay ? — Their names are Wm. lenry Griffin and Charles Berczy — ilie former \* considered the Sinveyor for Lower Canada, the latter forihe Upper Province. Theyare appointed for the purpose of assisting the Deputy PoHt Master (icnenil in various branches of bis duty, more especially for or^nizing new Pose Offices, instructing Post Masters in their duties, superintending the proceedings of Po'alury X'IdO. and i^ls. per diem, whilst travelling, together with 6d. aniile. 60. — When and by whom were they appointed ? — They were appointed, or more pro,>erly nominHied by tie under an order from the Post Maxtor General to that effect. Of the tiates of their resp?ctive appointments 1 am not sure, bit I will ascertain and inform the Committee — I tiiiiik .Mr. (iiifliii was appointed in May last, and .Mr. Herczy in the following nonth or n July, [Witness afterwards added that Mr. (irilhii was appointed oti the 1st May, 1835, and Mr. ItercKy, on the 'i^d Jinc, 1835.1 (il . — Were they, or atiy of them, uppoitited and ctiiployed by you previons to the receipt of the order fiott the Post Master General ? — No. 62. — VVIiiit !irc the dtitles of those OHiecrs when they arc not travelling ? — Their einployinetit is to ateid to the corres- poiidencc urisitig out of their various duties, to report their procecditigs to the Deputy Post Muster (letieral, roceeds have been applied ? — I lisive never kept uti account of Bills of Kxchange found in dead utid tnisdirected Ijetters, but wenever I discovered tt Bill of Kxchange, "r other valuable paper, I took care to itse the utmost cure iti forwarding it to its profr destination. Iti some coses I have kept copies of my Letters on siicit subjects, but not always ; frequently they were setit ttheir address in the way of ordinary Dead Letters without any record being made of thetn, beyond a luemorai.'.iutn or note, whli I destroyed wheti the paper was acknowledged.

It may be pro))er for me here to observe, that last year, when 1 offered to Mr. Sevf tlie appointment which he now holds in the Post Office, I expressed a fear that his situation as Usher might interfere with \ business as Post Master, and distinctly explained to him that if I found it to operate in this way, he must resign either the e situation or the other. In this he cheerfully acquiesced and the understanding remains the same at this hour. 70. — Do you think that a person performing his duties as Usher uf tho Black Rod in the Legislative luncil, can at the same time be attending the public as Post Master, for the performance of the duties of which latter Office he rtives a respectable and competent Salary T — 1 beg to say that 1 think I have already answered this question by stating that I Iwfound the duties of the Post Office properly peformed. , 71. — Did Mr. Sewall give security for the due performance of the duties of his Office ai Post Master ofurting Clerk ? He did.

If a Deputy fell in arrears, he always made good the debt himself. Previous to Mr. Sutherland's appointment in Isl6, 1 can discover nothing of the nature of the information required. I am not aware of the Post Office Revenue having sustained any loss through Defaulters. The Deputy Post Master General has always made up the bad debts of his Deputies. I have understood that Mr. Sutherland had to pay from this cause, during the twelve years he held the Office, upwards of £5000. That the Committee may clearly understand in what way the Deputy Post Master General makes good the balances of Defaulters who are his Deputies, it may be necessary to state here, that he becomes chargeable at the end of each quarter with the whole amount of Revenue collected by each of his Deputies, whether they pay him regularly or not. Also, Copy of the Return respecting his pay and emoluments furnished by Command of the Governor in Chief, for the year ISSi.—iAppeiidix No. 53.] Also, Copy of his Letter to the Secretary of the General Post Office, forwarding Copy of a Petition frotn the Printers of Lower Canada, to His Excellency Sir James Kempt, dated £d January, 18*29 — [Appeitdix No. 54.] Also, a Keturn of the amount of Bills of Exchange found in dead and misdirected Letters in Upper and Lower Canada, since October, 1834, shewing the purposes to which such Bills or their proceeds have been applied.— r.^f>/[)en(/ur No. 55.] Also, Copies of Instructions by which the execution of the duties of his Office are regulated, consisting of Instructions from the Post Master General, accompanying his Commission, dated lOth May, 1828; and fifteen sheets principally in the shape of Letters from the General Post Oflice, containing Orders or Instructions from the Department on special points of duty. — {^Appendix Nos, 56 to 60,] — Note. — The remainder of the Papers uie placed amonij the files of the Session, their publication not being considered necessary by the Committee, Also, an Account of sums of money transmitted to England on account of the Post Office Revenue for the quarter of \%3b.— {Appendix No, 61,] 75 — You are requested to state to the Committee, what responsibility such Post Masters incur who receive United States Mails; how they account for the amount of such Mails, — whether in money for the whole amount, exclusive of dead and refused letter postage, ' 5 18 pojiai(e, or by tian«*mit(inK to tlie (icncral I'oxt Office Quarterly Accounts, debitinp; the several Puit ODicea lo wliicli such Mails may have been diitribiited ? — Tho Committee, a Statement shewing the Amount of IJonds given by each Post Master in the Canadas receiving and distributing United States Mail ? — I will. 77. — Du the Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, or the Post Office Kevenues of eitiier of these Provinces, bear any of the expense of transmitting the Maijj from this Province thither ?— Yes. 78. — What proportion of expense does the Province or Post Office Revenues of Novu Scotia bear ? — I shall endeavour to ascertain and furnish the required informution. 79. — Please lurnish a similar Stntement of the proportion of expense of transmitting the Mails from New Brunswick to this Province, borne by that Province ? — If I can procure this intorinatiun from Mr, Howe's papers, I shall be happy to furnish ii to the Committee. 80. — How comes it that the expense of transmiiiing the .Mails from Quebec to Wonilstock, in the Province of New Brunswick, and from Woodstock to Fredericton, in the t^nid Province, is charged to the Cunados .' — It has always been no done. As the whole Post Office Revenue of all the Provinces eventually merges into one fund (that of the (ieneral Post Office, London,) the Post Master General has been indifferent as to whether this expense was charged in my Accounts or Mr. Howe's, 1 regulate the Couriers as tar down as Fredericton, and tlierefure pay them. 81. — Are the Accounts of your Depaituient audited by any efficient Hoard, or Auditor, within these Colonies, or what check is there by which errors can be delected on this side the sea, where the transuclions chiefly occur, if so, when was such liuard established ? — By reference to one of the Documents liiuuled in by me, it will be s.een that there is a " Post Office Accountant," (so called,) and Cleiks attached to this Rslal)li^hlnent, since Octobi'r, ISJi. The Accuiiniiiiii examines und checks ihc Accounts, and compiles them, und then forwards them 10 llie (General I'o.t Ollice, London, where iliey undergo another exuitiination, 8i?, — Are the Accountant and iiis Clerks under your control, and responsible Ui you tur the [)roper perlurmance of their official duties? — No, they form adi<>linct brniich of the Depiulinent here ; und ultlioiigli i uui the heud of the whole Department ill these Provinces, I do not consider these Officers us under my orders. 83. — Is the Accountant, or his ('jerks, bound to receive any orilcrs from youj w to obey them when received? — In the Instructions to the Accountant from the I'ost Master (ieneral, he receives certain specific oiilers for his duties in the treatment of the .<\ccounts, &c., and he is told that he is to obey such Instructions as he may receive liom ine, and lo render me such assistance as I may require, &c. This 1 of course understand, and so does the Accountant, as signifying that he is to obey such Instructions from me as may not trench upon the superior orilers of the Post Master (ieneral, and the apf)iicaiion which has been given to it is, that when I am occasionally hard pressed by work in my iinmediute office, I call upon Mr. King, for assistance. 84. — Should he disobey your orders, do you consider that you have the power of suspending him from his office, or discharginj; him from his employment ? — No, certainly not ; I should report the subject to the Post Master General. 85, — Does the Post Master General generally manifest such confidence in you, as in be guided by the Reports which you from time to time make relative to the Post Office Departnieiit in these Provinces? — The Post Master (ieneral has, I think, confidence in my zeal and integrity, and I have no doubt that generally speakini;, my opinion has some weight with him ; but the Post Master lieneral ot course considers me (as I really am) his Deputy, and he never fails to exercise his own Judguient in every case tiiat comes before him, in which I am concerned. 86. — Are you bound to receive ony orders from the Accountant, or lo furnish liiin with such explanations or information relative to the Post Office Accounts as he may require r — I never received any instnieiions on this head, but consider it my duty to be governed, as regards my intercourse with the Accountant, by the iiiniruciiuns which he holils from the Post Master (jcneiHl. When in En(>land, I was informed, with reference to this subject, that upon the consohduiion of tire Department under the proposed new Act, I should be supplied with instructions suited tu my chun|;c of circuiiistunccs. 87. — Is the examination by the Accountant here of the Post Office .Xccounls final ? — No. 88. — In case errors are discovered in England in the Post Office Accounts of these Provinces, what course is pursued, and liow are you finally discharged from responsibility ? — Observations are sent out by the Accountant (ieneral ; the Accountant will call upon the Deputy to lurnish the necessary Voucher, or pay in the amount of the error, as the case may be ; and when this is done the responsibility is discharged. 89. — Does the Accountant examine into the correctness of the .\ccouiits of the years preceding the establishment of his Office ? — No ; those Accounts had been examined by the Accountant (ieneral in England previous to his appointment. 90.— Do you deposit the Post Office Revenues from time to time in any and which of the Banks for security ? — I keep accounts with the Banks of Upper Canado, the City Bunk of Montreal and the Quebec Bank, and in these I make my deposits of Post Office Revenue. 91. — Do they allow interest on the sums deposited? — No. 92,— Furnish the Committee with a Statement similar to that already handed in by you and numbered 19, [.Ippcmlix No. 20,J ofyouremoluments, whether from salary, feet, allowances, Newspaper Postage, Pamphlet Postage, per centage on the collection of United States Letter or Newspaper Postage, or from any other source whatever during the years 1828, 18i29, 1830 and 1831 ? — I will do so, 93, — Did any correspondence or communication lake place between yourself and the Post Office Department in London, relative to the outline of a Law for the regulation of the Post Office, in Lower Caiiada, copy of which Bill was laid before the House of Assembly last Session? — I had frequent communication with the Post Office Department in London on this subject. 94. — Was such communication verbal or in writing ? — They were both verbal and in ivriting, 95. — Please furnish this Committee with Copies of the information which you furnished the Post Master General on this subject, and the data on which the same was made up ? — I preserved no copy of the information furnished by me, not having time for making any, nor iudeed thinking it necessary.

I cannot even tell the aggregate amount of British Postage on Letters sent to the Cunadas, without applying to Mr. Howe at Halifax for the same; — that he can inform me is I think probable. !)S. — How then have you been able to estimate as you bavc done in a Memorandum laid before this Committee, the British PosIhkc to be remitted to England, nt i?30flO ? — Tliiit was a rough estimate founded upon enquiries made by me at the General Post Office, London. I think from the data collected, that [judged that the British Postage upon all the Letters sent to the British Provinces via Haliliix, might average about i?250. a month, or jf3000 a year. 99. — Was the information procured from Ullicial Papers ; were those papers printed, and have you retained copies of them by you ? — So fur us I can recollect, I obtained the information in the course of conversation at the Accountant General's Office.

When I was preparing the e»timale alluded to, I did not (hint' it necessary tu furnish, otherwise than in round numbers, the diflurent sums composing the aggiegiite.

[Appendix No. 10 to Ist Report.] With reference to a remark made by me on the last day of my examination, viz: that I should bu unable to ascertain the amount of llritish Packet Postage received in the Canadas for a certain number of years, ending in 18.31, I beg leave to acquaint the Committee, that in turning this matter ovi'r in my mind after my examination, it occurred to me that u means did exist, by which I might ascertain pretty nearly, if nut witli perfect certainty, the total amount of Packet Postage for both Canadas within the years required, 1 am not yet quite convinced that I can do tliis; but if the Post Muster uf Montreal has preserved Records of his fjetter Bills received from llalilUx, (and I have wridcn lo liim to ascertain the fact,) I shall then, if required to do so by the ('ominittee, be enabled to miike out a tolerably aceiiiau- Uciuin of all Packet Postage receiveil in the Canadas from I8'JS to 1831. But there are no means of discovering what proportion uf this Postage was for Upper Canada and what for the Lower Province. KK). — Will you be pleased to reqiient Mr. Howe, of Halifax, to furnish you, for the information of this Committee, with Statements sliewini; the amount of British Packet Postage received for each of the years I8'JS, 1829, IKSO, 1831, 1832, 183,'j, and IS.'U, in British North America, distinguishing the amount received fur each of (he Lower I'rovinces from that charged to the Canadas ? — I shall do so. lUI. — |jay before this Committee, a Keturn nhewin); the amount of British Packet Postage eoilected in each of the Cnimdus on Letters addressed to the several Civil and Military ne|mrtments, doling tfic years IS2S, 18:29, 1830, 1K3I, 1832, 1833, and IS34, distinguishing each year the Civil liiiin the Miliiury Department r — I beg, in answer (u this requisition, to cxpluin that all Letters and Packets, wlielher on Civil or Military biisint'ss, from and to the ( lovernnient in England, go by the British Packets, free of any Postage whatever. There are occasionally Letters from individuals in [''nglaiid, wtto ore nut aiithori-ed to frank, addressed to the Public Departments in these Provinces, which are rated with Postage, and this Postage is charged with other Postage to the account of the Department, but 1 h.ive no means of ascertaiiiini; the ninount. In like niHiiner also there are Letters from Public Officers in this country belonging to both the Civil and Military Departmer.ts, addressed to persons in L^uiope, who are not entitled to Free Postage, this Postage is also charged here, but as far as llaliliix only. I think it right to add, however, that I think thu amount of Postage thus charged is not eunsiderablc. 102. — Can you on a rough estimation state what would be the amount of British Packet and Inland American Postage to be paid by the Civil and Military Departments in the Canadas (distinguishing the Civil Irom the Military) were they to pay Postage ? — Any estimate that I may make tor these objects must be very rough. I will, however, (with the permission of the Committee,) take a little time to consider the question, and render the best answer that I may be able to prepare, 10,3. — Do the blank Returns, Account Book", and other paiieis titrwurded for the Militaiy Departments in the Canadas, forma very great bulk of the Falmouth Mails received here, and can you give the Committee any idea of the weight of some of those Bags of public papers ? — Blank Account Books, and I believe likewise Blank Returns in sheet, and other papers forwarded for the Military Departments in the Canadaii, do very frequently forma great bulk in the Falmouth Mails received here, and at certain seasons in the year, when these Mails are necessarily conveyed on men's shoulders over the worst pan of the route, they tend to retard (he progress of the Couriers very seriously. I will endeavour (o ascertain at the Sorting Office what the weight of some of these Bags is. 104. — As this great bulk of Papers necessarily retards the Mail Couriers very much on their overland journey, were a supply of those public forms and papers sent by Transports, in the course of the Summer, to the Departments in the Canadas, would not the Mails be brought in a much shorter time than at present trom Halititx ? — At certain periods of the year, more particularly during the Spring and Fall, the overland communication with Halifax is very difficult. On portions of the route between the lUver St. Lawrence and Fredericton, 1 have known (he Couriers (o be under (ho necessity of wading up to their breasts in water for miles together, with the Mail Bugs on their heads or shoulders, to preserve them from the water, thus discharging a service which perhaps no men in the world, but Canadian Voyageurs, could accomplish. With this fact stated, it is ve:°y evident tliat the heavier the Mail the slower must be its progress, and 1 amipiite sale in saying that at these difficult seasons, the Mails would arrive in much shorter time, if they were composed of Letters alone. 103.— i: 2 10.5. — l)u ilie Mercantile Body ul'C'unuiia usually tranmnit and receive tlicii- Uriiiili epi>*iolai'y Corrcfipondi'nce i><« Halifax, or hv way of New York, and by wliicli of (liPHe ruiitt-H arc the Deipatches uf the Government chiefly received and ient ? — Tlii> Mercantile Uudy of Canada now wie the New York channel for their corre«pondfnco Our Merchiintfi ucca«ionally receive liOtlri'R from Enu^Und via Falmouth and Halifax, but 1 believe they neldum send any, finding as ihny do, that thern are more frequent opportuniiieii by New York, and that the expedition it greater.

Mr. Howard, the Pont Mauler of Toronto, then wrote to me to know what Paper he should employ, and acting upon the principle I have mentioned in my last answer, 1 authorized him 10 employ the Christian Guardian as having the greateHi circulation. As to the Christian Guardian boiii^' a violent panizan Paper, I know nothing of it, not having to the best of my recollection, ever read a number ot that Paper. The Paper employed at Montreal for advertizing the Letters remaining in the Post Office there, is the " Ilriald,*' which Paper has been employed for that purpose ever .nince I held my present ap|)uintment. I have never considered it to be a part of my duty to ^ive the patronage of my advertizing to the Herald or any other Paper on account of its political character, and I cm fearlerhly appeal to the whole course of my public duly as Deputy Post Master General, to prove that no imputation of iliis kindest) attach 10 nie. I have never eDqiiircd nor thought of enquiring into ihn political creed of the Prop'ietor of a N'ewApuper, when considering what Papur I should eiuploy to aii-hed by Mr. McKenzie, until he gave it iiji, and I was cumpi'lled to look for another medium for publishing the dead I^tt«ri<. And I can Imne-tly say that I shnuld not li^ivt. lakiin the advertizing of the Department from that Piiper had it continued in existence. Fur(hi'> iliaii (his I shall only say, and I lin-l cuiilident 1 am justified in saying It, that if i weie (o endeavour to select u Newspaper in any Town free from a strong partisan chiuacter, as the channel tor the advertizem'-nts of the Department, I hhoiild look in vniii. 109. — Previous to giving your .Advertizeinents to those Papers, did you call for lenders fioiii the other Newspafwr Proprietors so ai to learn at which Office the business might be pHrfornied at the lowest e:;iu'ii>e lo ilu- puMic .' — The time when thoie Papers were first employed is now so distant that I cannot recollect whether I culled lui' tenders or not. 1 do not however think lliat I called for tenders. 1 preferred the^e Papers because I understood they had the greatest country clrculaliun, and having good rciuun to believe that the rates at which the Proprietors were willing to perforin the work, were reasunablu. charge n because always b answer, French. 114. never Din English c Sl5.

Thomas Allen Slayner, E8<|uire, again called in ; and examined : — 110. — Inselerting Papers fur the advertizing patronage ufyour Department, how doyou judge of those which have" the greatest country circulation ;" is it by the amount paid by those Newspapers to the Post Office (irr the privilege of treing transmitted by .Mail : — This would certainly be some guide, but I think I have generally asked the Post Master ot the Town, which Paper had altogether the greatest circulation, or which would do the busiocss on the best terms. I take the liberty of remaiking here, that 1 do not recollect having taken the advertizing from any one Paper and given it to another, whilst the Pa|)or first employed continued to exist, even though other Papers, published in the same Town, may have acquired a greater circulation. II I. — Are Letters ordered to be advertized in Fiench and English Papers ? — No ; there is no order on the subject. lis. — When Letters ure advertized in French Papers without such l>eing ordered, are they paid fur by the Department, or is an allowance in any way made for such advertizements ? — .No demand has ever been made upon me by the Proprietor of a French Paper for advertizing Letters, nor do 1 recollect liaving ever seen Unclaimed Letters adoeriized in French Newspapers. Several Papers have published Post Office advertizements voluntarily and without any charge, but as tiir as my memory serves me, they have always been English Papers. 113.— Look at the French Newspaper now handed to you, and say ivheiher the Post Office advertizement pointed out ii published by order of your Department ? — The Letters advertized in this Paper were published by aiithuriiy of the Post Office. It would appear from this, that the Proprietors publish the List of Dead Letterx in both their FVench and English editions.

I dn, tad it hai nlwiya been my wi»h to give (heae nuiicea aH much publicity as poaaibie.

Arc the (tnclaimed Leliers, remaining ih the Post Office at Montreal, ndveriized in French Newspapers ? — No, ihey have never since I have belonged lo the Poat OfTice Department been publiahed in moru than one Pa|)er A)' lureal, and that it an English one. 1 15. — Do yon not consider lliai the People who speak French, in (he City and District of \'ontreal. ui. ;lit to have the tame accoinmodaiion in the way of advertizing iheir Dnclaiined Le((crs as (heir Fellow Citizens w),o siivak tlie English language, or those of their Fellow Subjects in the District of Quebec who speak French ? — I do not ihink that 1 thouh* bejustified in making any distinctions on icconni of Inngniige, that wouM impose an injury upon any class. 1 have never emplovca more (han one Paper in any iown for adver(i7inu (he Dead Letter List on accuuiK of the expense. I rather think that when I Tiist employed the Paper at Montreal in wliich Dead Letters are nt present published, there was no French Paper printed in that City ; If there had been, and that the majority of Letters were addressed (o persons with French names, I certainly would have employed that Paper, but I beg leave lo refer this Honorable Committee to any Quarterly Litt of Dead Letlera publiahed either at Quebec or Montreal, and I nm confident they will find that niner n- read by that class of persons, or in advertizing Letters for persons tpeaking ihc French languiige only, in Knglish Papers wliirli they seldom or never see.' — There can ccriaiiiiy be no advantage conterred upon either claes, by publishing their Letters in I'ltpi'rs which they do not read or hear read ; but that there it a general benefit conferred upon the community at large, hy publishing l^eilers in the way 1 do, is very evident, because great numbert of such IjeiUM'S are called f(ir,and taken up; the people who claim iIkmii staling that they had either seen their Letters advertized themselvet, or heArd through their friendsj (hat there were Letters advertized in their names. I think it right here to inform this Honorable Coinmiitee, that when I look charge of the Post Oflice Department, there existed no regulation for advertizing Dead Letters. I laid down the plan myself as likely to be useful, and 1 huvc found it eminently >o. 117. — Would it not therefore be more piofiiabte lo the Department lo advertize the Unclaimed Letters addressed to persons in the District of Montreal, 8|)eiking Fiench, in French Newspapers, than in Papers published exclusively in the English language, as it now the practice in that District ? — The consideration of the expense attending the advertizing of Unclaimed Letters, hat hiiherto prevented my employin^i more than one I'aper in any Town for that purpose. I do nut think it would be prufilable to the Department to employ two Papers, but as the suggestion has been made to me in the last question, I will certainly adopt it, and direct that hereafter a Litt of the L'liclaiiiied Letters at Montreal shall be published quarterly, in aFrerch, at well as in an English Paiwr. IIH. — llave you any further explanndon lo give this CommiKce in answer (o Question 102, put to you on Friday last ?— Since this question wai proposed to ma I have been making enquiries of the persons employed in the Sorting Office, and find it impossible 10 collect such information upon the subject as would justify me in attempting even a rough estimate of what wo^ld be the amount of Postr^e for ai y given period upon (inverninent I'nckets and Ijetiers sent by the Halifax Koute. The Packet Pot* (age from London lo Halifax by that Koute is 8». 8d. sterling an ounce ; the Provincial or Inland Postage between Halifax and Toronto 1 Is. an ounce. Some idea may perhaps be uollectcd troin these facts, of the enormous charge to which heavy packages would be liable if they were (axed with postage according to the present Tarilf. The amount would be many thousands of pounds per annum, perhaps from thirty to fuiiy thousand pounds; but as 1 have already observed, any estimate must be a very rough one. 119. — In reference lo Question 103, have you any additional explanation to offer? — I cannot say what the weight of the articles referred lo in the latter pan of my answer may be, in any .Mail, because they are mixed with other portions of the Mail. I have myself se>"< ii om six i^ !>ine or len very laigi- uixl heavy bags, consisting of ijelters, Keturns, Books and Newspapers, arrive with the English Mail, some of lliei':< weighing leriaiiily not less (han from KX) to 130 pounds ; and these bags as I have observed in an earlier pari >fniy examination, area: certain periods of the year, to bi-borneon the shoulders of the Couriers for great distances, while they are toiling their way thro* water or snow blen^l high. I must here remark that within the last year, the great bulk of ihe Falmouth Mails, it composed of Newspapen- which when ihey arrive here, are generally out of date, and consequently useless ; their information having been anticipated by the Mew Yoik Packets. 180.— Do you receive any per ceninge, allowance, profit or emolument of any description from the sums r mitted by you to England on account of the Post Oltice Depnrtnieni : — No. lUI. — Lay before the Comniitiee a SiHiement slu'winii I si. The available claims due from Post Masters and others in Lower Canada to ihe Post OfDce Deparinieni on the 5ih da/ of October, I8.'i5; !2il. The funds belonging to the Department, in your hands or to your credit, whether as cash in hand, cash ii: ihe Banks, or Hills of Exchange, on the same day; Sd. The amount of claimn agaiiMt, and debts due by the Department nn thr. same day. Likewise, similar Keturns for Upper Canada to the same date 2 — I brg to observe ihai many Acetmnis of my Depnties (or the quarter ending in October, have not yet come in, consequently it will be impissible for me to attempt rendering such a Keturn <8 is here called for, until they do come in, and are examined and compiled. I will do my utmost to meet the views of the Committee in this task, as I have in others which they have been pleased to set me, bnt I beg them to consider thai for more than three weeks past, I and my Clerks have been engaged day and night in preparing Statements for them, and that we are now nearW ■. "irn out by the extraordinary exertion which has been called for, whilst every other busineas of the Office hus been and is in a ^reet measure suspended. 1 trust that under these circumstances, some t'ontideraiiun will be sliewn to me, and that he Committee will believe I am asking nothing but what is reasonable and necessary, when 1 request that sufficient time imy be allowed me to prepare those and the other Keturns and Statements which arc now demanded ; they shall be rendered us far as it is in my power to complete them. IS^ — Pleaie lay before the Committee, the Printers and stationers' Accoun(s and Vouchers for the Printing work and Adveriitifvg for your Department (br the year 1834, charged in the Contingent Keturn furnished to this Committee ? — 1 will do so. X'iS. — Please lay likewise before the Committee, the Accounts and Vouchers for that part of the Contingent lixpenses of your Department for (he year 1834, classed under the heads : — Law Charges ; Travelling Expenses ; Mail Bags and Portmanteaus ; Office Kent; Carrying out Letters; Fuel and Candles; Miiil Locks ; Seals and Stamps ; Scales and Weights for weighing Packets ; Maps; Various other object ? — I w.ll do so. Vl\. — For what term of years are Contracts for caiYying tlie Mail generally entered Into by you ? — Generally for from one to Ave years. Upon forming new Homes we frequently make tlie Contract for only one or two years. This is often the desire of the Contractor with whom, as the undertaking is new, he does not wish ro involve himself in an engagement that may prove disadvan- tageou-> to him. 195. — Are you in the habit o( changing the Koutes, or altering (he condidons of those engagemen(8, afler the Contracts are signed? — I never chan|(e a Home, or alter the conditions of the (^ntract — pending a Contract — if I can possibly avoid it. I believe, however, I may have changed lome Koules a,nd altered the conditions F There is a Clause in our form of Contract that I S2 I may ilo so it' I find it iircostary. I Imvc in n li'W instnncrs inci'eaiscil tliu allowance (o Cniiricri) when I have been convinced (hut ihey were inaunicict\tly paid, but, I bolii-vo, lu'vcr exc(<|ii upon sniull KutiieB. IS6. — Do you, then, enter into a new LViitritci, or do you consider the Contract, by the iiltcration, void ? — Tlic Coiiiract would iiOt in its general character be void, for 1 have a right, by the form of ihu en(;a);euicnt, lo pay the Contractor t'or the iiicrea.ted distance which he may be culled upon to perform, in proportion to the sum payable to him for the orijrin:il di.ttnnce, or to diiiiiniKJi bis allowunce in the same proportion, Khould Iiih route be sjiorlenud. My plan would be to engraft the alteration upon the orijjinal contract. I do not recollect that 1 liavc ever been called upon to make such an alteration. 197.— 'I'Icasr! furnish this Comniilteo with Copies of all Contracts (over jflOO) cntPrcd into by ynu, and n> present in force for carrying the Mail, also the nnnies of persons who tendered to carry the Mail and wliosu ter.iiers were not accepted, the rates at which they proposed to carry the Mail, and the reasons (if any) why you did not accept their oifers ; if it v:'ould be inconvenient to furnish Copies of these Contracts, produce the Originals, which this Committee will return lo you when examined ? — I will do so. 1S8. — Would not Letters and Papers be likely to reach their destination much sooner, if sent by the Steamers in summer, especially on the route of the Saint Lawrence and Lake Ontario? — Uurins the seanon of nuvigiition, Letters and Papers nuiy doubtless otlen be sent w°lh more despatch by Steamers /'rum Montreal to (juehoc, than by the land route ; but 1 do not think it would bo any improvement to attempt sendinr r Mails i<;)i(far(/« by Steam Ho.it — that is, from Quebec to Montreal. The Steamers leove Quebec during the summer, from s.^ o'clock, 1*. M. to two or three o'clock the following morning, as the tide may berve. The Boats thus leaving;, arc more frctpiently than otherwise, either heavily laden, or have lotiduil vesxels in tow ; and i do not think that their average passages arc less than thirty six hours. The I'ost now clones nt sin o'clock, I*. M., in rummer, and roaches Montreal (if the roads are not very bad indeed) within thirty six hours ; and this rate of progress can be calculated upon throughout the year, except during a few days in the spring and full. 1 ri'peat, therefore, that I can Hee no advantoge in employing Steamers on their iipirarti irip, and 1 have strong (iuubts whether it would answer to employ them fur the downward Mails, expect o daily Line were put in opfraliou from the commencement of the season of navigition, and to continue through the same ; and this is not likely to be done nn ilie Saint Lawrence, except the Post Office will incur a heavy expense to keep lioats in motion that would otherwise remain is to the expense that would attend the I'lnplnyuieiit of their vessels as daily Packets ; ui I have reason to think it would be very considerable. '! he roads in Upper Canada are worse than I hey are in the Lower Province generally, and the progress o( the Mail on the (iiand Uoule, along the conHl of Ijnke Ontario, is slower and more irregular than those between Quei)ec and .Montreal; the advantage, therefore, of employing Steamers on that Lake lor the conveyance of the Mails is more probable itiaii the employment of them on the Saint Lawrence; but lo insiiie a full advaninge, there should, i conceive, be a daily and regular Line, that is — lioats should start at a lixed hour from eitlitr extrcmily of the Lake, Uiid l)e engaged lo serve all the accesHih'e points on the route. It is lo be borne in mind, that in employing Steamers upon the above mentioned lines of romnitinir.iiion, the expense will be in inlililinn to l/ie frjieiisc iif the jirrsent liiiiJ riimeyuuic, inasmuch as the towns and places on the road which cannot be approached by the Steamer, must continue to be served by u land conveyance.

I-IU. — Is (i'uru any extra expense incurred for the transport of Mails, by (he establishing or opening of New Post Offices on a Post Road already (established at (he extremities ar.d on d liferent points of which. Post Offices already are placed? — 1 do not recollect having ever been called upon to pay any thing additional for the transport of a Mail, in consequence of establishing New Offices on a Post Road, though Contractors have frequently complained that it is hard for them to be cumpelled to keep their time good, when they are obliged to serve more Offices than existed on the Route when they first took the Contract. 141. — What are the names of the places at which Post Offices are established on the North side of the River St. Lawrence between Quebec and Montreal, (exclusive of these two Offices.) and in what year was the latest Post Office on that Route estab- lishee found willing to undertake the duty. I have experienced the greatest difficulty in finding persons willing to act as Post Masters in the Canadian Parishes. It is notorious (ha( (here is very little Letter writing in the French Canadian Parishes, and the emolu- ments of the Post Master from his percentage, being byt trifling, few persons are willing to undertake the drudgerv of attending an Office and keeping accounts for so inconsiderable a reward. I may observe that the difficulty of finding Post Masters for the smaller Offices on such a Route as that between Montreal and Quebec, where the Mail pastes ten times in each week, is greater than it is on Routes less freipiently served ; tor it may be, that the Mail passes in the middle of the night, and no man is inclined II under(ako (he du(y of opening and dispa(ching Mails under such circum8(ances, wi(hout being paid at a higher rafi tor his services, than I have had it in my power to pay. 146. — Are yon aware that there are as many as 14 or 15 Parishes on the main |{oad between Quebec and Montreal unpro> vided with Post Offices ? — I have no do-'ht there are as many as 14 or 15 Parishes so situated, that is, Parishes which have no Post Office located within their limits. 147. — Have you made any exertions lO ixtend Post Office accommodations between Montreal and Quebec since 1831, the date of the establishment of the latest Post Office on that Itoute ? — I have so far made exertions, that I have discussed the applications that have been presented tome on the subject, with the individuals interested, with the wish, if possible, of gmnting •hem. Those applications have however been but few : 1 can only recollect three, viz. : — One from Desclianibault, which I was intending to establish when 1 was called to England in the spring of 181)3, and the application for which has not been renewed since my return. Another at Pointe aux Trembles, for which, if my memory serves me correctly, I received »)iily a verbal appli- (ation, but which I hope to put in operation shortly ; and a third at Grondines : Thi.s last I was preparing (o put into Commission the commencement of next qunrirr, but I was yesterday waited upon by the individual who has chiefly interested himself in the question, (a Mr. Iloud,) and from his representations I have been oblij^ed to postpone the eatablishinent of this Office till a new arrangement can be made respecting a Post Master lo take charge of it. 148. — Do you (ake any steps to eiitablish new Post Offices where necessary, unless applied to specially for that purpose ? — I believe that some years ago, in n few instances, I suggested to the inhabitantsof certain places the advantages of aaving P(m« Offices, and requested •hem to nominate Post Masters ; but of late years Thavc not found it at all necessary to do any thing of the kind, A Slate Canada, in e A Statt Montreal for (The blanks for which I I Advertii closing the h at piesent, as I have alw 35 /;.i' No. 83.1 e CanadM ? the medium ative to tim lainant, the ecuvered or re the Com* the Caiiadai, metit in the rttnantcaui," d Weight!," printed with :o be opened Quebec, and .

The demands of this kind from Upper Canada are more frequent than from the Lower Province. 149. — What are the names, to the best of your recollection, of the " certain places" alluded to in your last answer ? — I have only at this moment a distinct recollection of one such instance, that is, " Chiitlmm," at the foot of Grenville Canal, which I foresaw would, in consequence of the public works going on in its neighbourhood, soon become a place of importance, as has proved to be the case. I believe there were a few other places, but the time is distant, and I cannot speuk positively to the names. 1 have an idea that I also made the first proposition for an Office at Lennoxville, Lower Canada. 150. — What is the distance between Chatham, or Carillon, and the nearest Post Office, (St. Andrews,) and what is the distance between Lennoxville and the next Post Office ut Sherbrooke Village .' — The distance between Chatham and St. Andrews is about 3 miles, and the distance between Lennoxville and Sherbrooke is, I think, between 4 and 5 miles. 151. — If you were furnished with '.lie name" of proper persons to serve as Post Masters in the villages on the route between Quebec and Montreal iit present unprovided with Post Office iiccommodatiuu, would you have any objection to put new Offices in operation in those Villages? — I shall have no objection to put Offices into operation in those Vilhu'os, or in any other Villages situated on established Post Iloads, when lam furnished with the names uf proper persons as Vest Masters, on the usual condition of their supplying uie with the requisite security for the perforinniice of the duty. 15*2. — Much complaint has been made of the want of Post Office accommodation in the Counties uf Gaspe and Bonaven- turu, and of the irregularity of the arrival of the Mails, from which circumstances it is stated that that Section of the Province is almost shut out from all communication with the other parts of the country ; can you state to tlie Committee what these evils are owing to ; what difficulties prevent the extension of Post Office uccominodntion to that District ; and whether you intend to make arrange... eiits to secure to the inhabitants of these Counties any equal aecoininoilation with their other fellow subjects ? — 1 am perfectly aware that there is a great want of Post accomiiuxlatiun in the Counties of Oaspe and Bonaventure, and that even such arrangements as do exist in those quarters of the Province, are very imperfect. The cause of this may be stated in a few wonis : it is, that there exists no direct road of coinnuinication between these remote sections of the F.-ovince, and till" Head Quarters of the Post Office Department at Quebec ; and I must here record it as my belief, that no efficient system of amelioration ill the Post Office arraii!,'enients there, can be ititrudiict'il, until the " Metis 'Road" (from A\e River Saint Lawrence to the head of the Kistigouche) is made practicable. I (piite agree with Mr. Deblois, Member of the Provincial Parliament for the County of Honaventiire, (whose answers to certain questions from the Post Office Committee have beei' shewn to me) in his views on this part of the subject, and would res|icctfully urge upon the consideration of the proper authorities, thenecessity of completing the .aforesaid Road, as the foundation of a plan for identilying Bonaventure and Gaspe with the r«.. of the Province, from which they are -low in a great degree shut out. .4t present my only means of transmitting Ptails to Ristigouelie and Uay of Chaleiir, is by the circuitous am' tedious channel of " Fredericton" and " Mirar -iii," thence along the (iulph Shore to " Dalhousie," from wliencu they are crossed over to the Post Office establishment at Carleton. The Committee will please to observe, that the greatest part of this Route is through the Province of New Brunswick, the Post arrangements of which are not under my control, and for which I cannot be held responsible; it is utterly impossible therefore, (independent of the great consrinptiun of time connected with this route,) that it can be.-ome a satisfactory one to the people of this Province, The Metis Road is the natural Route, and when it is made practicable, and a few Settlers located upon it, at intervals of perhaps four or five leagues from each other, it will be a comparatively easy task to organize a chain of Post Offices through from the Saint Lawrence to the Ri'tigouche, and thence f following the course of the ditrerent Roads and Settlements^ to Point Peter at Gaspe. In a conver- sation which I hive recently held with Mr. Ijc Boutillier, the Member fur the County of Gaspe, on the subject of improving the Posts in that quarter, 1 stated my intention of sending an Officer of the Post Office Department next Spring to Gasp^ and Bonaventure, for the purpoie of making such arrangements as may be found practicable, to meet the wants of the inhabitants. I must however repeat my declaration, that no efficient system can be formed, and followed up, until we possess the means of sending our Couriers through the " Metis Road." I can forma connection between the Counties of Gaspd and Bonaventure ; make several new Offices, and eatahlish better discipline amongst those now iii existence ; but the grand object — that of a quicker and safer comniunicnlion between Quebec and those puns, I have not the power of acconiplisliiiig, nor shall not have, until (as I have alieady staled) ii Post Hond shall exint uver svliicli I can Imve control. I find 1 have omitted to slate that the only means of Post coininunicatlun with (iaspc which wo now pos-css, is by means of a Cornier engaged by ihe Post Master at Point IVler, to come to Quebec, and reiurii with ilie Coricspondenci.' and .Newspapers, twice in the course of the Winter. In the Summer, there is no Pusi Oflice cominiinicalioii inainluined : the inlmbiiRnts, during lliut period, depend upon .Merchant Vessels for sending and leceivln); their Correspoiuleuce. 153. — What are your Instruclinns to the Post Master at Three Rivers, relative to Office hours .' — The Post Master at Three Rivers is subject to the general regulations with re^^ard to Oilicc hours, r* 'scribed in ihe Book of Inslrnctions lo Post Masters ; that is to say, to keep his Office o|H>n for liusiness from 7 o'clock, A. Nj. . 7 P. .M. between the 1st May and yist October ; and from 8 o'clock, A. M. to i o'clock, P. M. (loin Ut November lo ^Oth April. On Sundays, between the hours of Divine Service. 154. — At what hour is the Mail directed lo be closed at that Office ? — I think my Instructions are, that he shall close the Mail at II d'clock, \. M. 1 only speak Ironi meuioiy ; l>iii as he despatches the Mail East and West, not later than 12 o'clock, my impression is, that I ordered him lo close at 1 1. 155. — This Comniitlec has been informed that he closes Ills Mail Hi 10 o'clock, A. .M. and shuts his Office at 2 o'clock, I'. M. thus pulling iho inhabilantsof that Town lo much inconvenience ; has kuch practice been to your knowledge, and if not, will you lake iinniediaiu and efficient steps lo put a slop to it ? — This is the lir.' i ;ht, that there should be one hour allowed between the closing of the Mails at Three Rivers and dispaichin;; o f f \ 86 despatcliing die Cuiniers. It further appears by tlie Billi), that in Summer the Couriers arc dispatched at 12 o'clock whencTer practicable, and during that season I have no doubt that Letters are received for Mailing until II o'clock. I will ascertain those points, if (be Cominiitee desire it, more particularly ; in the mean time 1 have thought it a matter of justice to the Post Master, to stale what 1 have now done with respect to the hour of closing the Mails — as yesterday the difference between the Summer and the Winter arrangements at Three Kivers did not strike me. Mr. Slaifner was then further examined : — 156. — Have you ever brought under the consideration ol the Executive, or the Legislature of this Province, the necessity of eslablii'hing ur rendering prnciicable the lioad from Metis to the head of the Ilistiguuche? — I have never made a written communication on the subject, but I have several times spoken of it to Their Excellencies Sir James Kempt and Lord Aylmer, and stated what I have now had the honor of doing to the Couimittee, that it was absolutely necessary iliis Ituud should be established before we could have an efficient Post communicuilun with the Counties of Gasipe and DonavLiiture ; a truth of which Their Excellencies seemed to be fully aware. Sir ilames Kempt appeared to be exceedingly anxious to have the Road in question completed, at he considered it necessary on many iinporiunt accounts, as well as in relation to the Post. LST. — Have you ever adopted any arrungemi-nts to make up and send Mails to the Distiicl of Ciaspfc by Schooners, or other ves).el> siiiling ihitlier in the Sninmer monllis ? — No ; I have never made any arangemenis to this ilTect, and the public are perhaps just iis well satisfied to send tlioii- ijetlcrs and Papers themr.elves by those vessels without the iuterlereiice of the Post ORice. It now occurs to me, thai we do iiccasi<>nHlly make up and send by the above vessfls, packets of any Letters that may happen to be led at the Pust Ollice lor ti.ispr, aililressing thetii to the Post Master there. I tliink this is the case, but it is necessary I should iimke eiK^uiiy at the Sorlinjj Ollice on the subject before I can vouch for it. At all events the Letters sent in this wa^' cannot be numerous, as people do not think It necessary to employ the Post Office when they can make use of a private correspondence with less trouble to themsi'lves 158— In your oapncity as Deputy Post Masiei General, is it not a part of your duty to attend to the interests of your Department, and although the public, in your opinion, are '* as well SHiisfied to send their Lttlera and Papers by vessels without " the inlerterence of the Post Office," would It not be your business to see that ilie Post OflJce Itevenue does nut suflTer, whilst you at the same lime alford the public all poi,sit)le arcoiiimodaiion by making up and transmitting Mails as often as you can have the opporliinliy so to do, during the season, in Vessels irnding to (iaspe .' — 1 do not think that I have any right to prevent persons sending iheir Lelieis by Vessels if they think proper so to do. It is my duty lo attend to the interests of the Post Office and the convenience of the public conjointly, but I have never felt that under my insiriuiions it was incumbent upon iiic to provide a water conveyance for the Mail to (lasp^, nor that it was my duty to pieveni iiidivi.luals from seiullng their Letieis to and from that place by private means. (Saspe it may be ooserved, although within the limits of Lower Canada, i> so shut out from the rest ol the Province by the absence of any Road of conimiiniiaiion, that us legards the Post Esiablislimi'iil, it is almost like another country. 159. — Laying aside for the present your right to prevent Letters being sent by vessels from one plaee to another, is it not a part of your duty to do all in your power to a.lvance the interests of your DeparliuenI, increase its revenues, and accommodate the public i and are you not of opinion these ihiee objects would be in u great measure attained hy your despaicliing Maib from time to time by the River lo the (iaspt? District in the Summer season - — As I have already had the honour of stating lo the Committee very few persons think of making the Post Olfitc the medium of Iransporiiiig llioir corrcspoiulence with (Jaspe during the summer, iind the total amount of letters which the DHparlnient is employed to send, is very trifliug. nefti,ed at all limes to avail myself of any suggestions that may be afforded to me, having for their object anv improvement in the Posts. 162. — What time do you expect the Surveyor lo report : — I cannot tell. He will go on his misnionas soon as the season will .idniii, and will return as soon as he has attended lo the several objects with which he will be charged. M)3. — \re the Loiiimittee then to understand that the District of Gaspe is lo be deprived until the Surveyor's return, which It iincerluin, of die casual accommodation lo be afforded by the despaiching of River Mails by the Post Ofiicc Department ? — I wish the Committee to understand that 1 am desirous ol sending Letters lu (iaspe, whenever, in my judgment, it will be advan- tageous to the public to do so. At present there is only one Po-it Ollice aity of I a written Lyimer, and cstabliilied /hicli Their in question rs, or other are perhaps Office.

The Commillce ihorcfore, wish to know if it h your intention to extend Post OAicc accommodation to those Parishes, applications from several of which it is staled have already been sent in to you, without succe'^'i .' — In reply to this ((ucstion, I beg to inform the f.'oniinittee, th>it ax I concpive it to be niv duty to afford all parts of the Province Post nccnmmodation to the extent o. the Fiindo at my di-posal, I rhiill attentively apply myself to make arrangements for siipplyinsj the Parishes and places enu- merated by thcKJoinniittee with Post Ollices, mid the nieaiiH of communicating; with other places. All I ask for is, that I may have a reusonubic time nlloued nii> fur organizing such extensive additions to the Csiabliahmcnt as are now required. Much correspon- dence and research are frP(|iieiitly necessary to complete thoarra'igcments for opening new Lines of lloulc ; and as my assistance is liniilod, it is not po-sibli- to create all the new Oilices tli;'.t may be desirable at once. I take occasion here to observe, that ray long absencp from iiiv Odiri' in the years 1 8^, 'J and IH.'Jl, when called to iMigland on business of the Post Office, threw that brunch of my duly which r<'lalcs to the creation of Ortices and the opening of new Post Houtes, greatly in arrears, and I have not yet had it in my power to repair the conseqiTences of this absence, though I am using every exertion to that cfT^'Ct. I beg to add, that from wliai I know ot the character of the places eiuimerated in the List prepared by the Committee, I entertain but little doubt that I Nliall, upon en(|iiiry, feel myself jiistilicd in creating OlFires al tho places described, and I hope also (o be iible to eflVci this in the coorse of the ensuing siiinmer. 166. — If the Uepresenlatives of the •(overal Counties in which those Villages are situated, furnish you with the names of proper persons to act .■^■> Post Masters therein, would it not expedite ana tiicilitaie the neeessaiv arrangements, and enable you iit an early period lo extend the accominodalions reipiired ? — It would ceriaiiily tend to fucilitate the ii'jces-ary arrangements, if ihi; Members of the Assembly alluded to, were to fiiriii>li me with the names of persons whom they may consiiler suitable for coiuliicting the duties of the several Oilices at the places iiameil ; and to tliose recommendations (he Coaiinittee may be assured I shall be disposed to shew every respect. 157. — How often per week does the .Mail !;o lo the Lines (■/(/ the KeiMiehec Ko:ui .' — Once a week. 103. — Is there not a piclly considerabii- amount of correspondence bv that U'lnlc, and weie the .Mail (o be despalched iiCteiier, say twice a week, would it not, in your opinion, be a great uccomniodalidii to ilio M r(MiiliK' community of Quebec, and lend lo increase the produciiveiu'ss of that branch ot' the Uevenue .' — The correspoiuii'iice by this l{oiile is not great at present, but I have no doubt it uoiild increase if the .Mail were carried upon it twice a week. I think this is a Uoute which will, ere many vears, become of great importance to the (Joinniercial interests of this Province, a'ld that it will be desirable to send the Mail by it twice a week, so soon as the liniled States (ieneral Post t)Hicecan he induced to make a correspouding arrani;enieni on their side of the Line, until wnich it would be useless in us to send it iikmo t'ref|neiilly tlian we now do. I()H. — How many Mails arrive at Hilton's (Suite of Maine) now per week .' — One. I have heard that within n short time, Hince the Winter Roads have been formed, a St,ii;,> comes to Hilton's at the height of Land, a second time per week, and that L'tlers have been lirotight by it ; but this is not ;ni iii raiigcment recognized by the CJeiieral Post Office at Washington, and it will onlv continue whilst the winter travelling la.,ts. 170. — Have anv applications been made to you to run n Mail to Hilton, twice a wi'ck, and what are yonr intentions rela- ting thereto .' — .Vpplieaiions have beet; made to me recently bv persons connn-ted with llie Mail ainl Stages upon the Route I'l (j'leslioii, to send the .Moil twice a week, and I have thought niysell jiisiilieil (in considering the prospective advantages of ihat Line of c(Hnmiiiiication,) lo holdout the liillowing promi-e : That p;iviiis mow .i'l.V) a year, for can iiig the Mail once a week, I would consent lo pay A'^i.'il) a year for cairviiig it twice a week, in a re~|H'cial)le iininnei, in good Stage Waggons, so ••onn lis I conid pievail upon the Aiiieiican Posi Odice Di'parlment lo make a coriesjioiiilin^' ariaogeiiient williin its Ter- iilory 1 am wailing for an answer from ilu' p:iriies tu whom I have held out this encouiagenient, .mil if iliey accept my proposal, I sIihII do my iitinosi In prevail iipcni ilie ,\iiiericaii Po-t .Master tienenil lo enter inio niv views upon the subject. 171. — The Ciininiiliee tuiderstand ihai you rollect and accoinil to the Post .Master fiencral in Wishington, for all United Slates I'osiage doe on Letters delivered in the sever il Post Oilices in this Province .' — I do so. 172 — Does the Deparloieni at Washington reciproc.ite this aciiMiiMiodaticiii, ami collect ami remit i.i von the Canada Postage (if any) doe mi Letters addiesseil to parlies in the liiiied Siao's. ,iiul delivered al imv Po't Oll'Ce there .' — No, I7J. — Have yon ever entered into any cinninniiitaliuii uiih ihe Post .Ma-tei (ieoerul al WasliinglDii with <\ view to llie col- lection at the Post Oilices in the I'nited States, where Letters Iruio Canada may hv delivered, of the Postage dut. thereon, and for the reiiiitlancu lo you ot lliul portion which mnv belong to this I'lovinee ? — No, I have not.

I was in the habit of (requent iniercourse on this subject with his Grace the Duke of Uichmond, then Post Master (ienenil, Mr. Freeliug, the Assistant Secretary, and the Pot>t Office Solicitor. Since my return to this Country I liave made no other Reports than sucli as are before the Committee. 18J. — Can you furnish this Com;.. ittec with Copies of the written KeportK uiiuded to in your last answer? — No, I cannot. I preserved no Copies. I haci no Clerk to assist me in the duty, and I never undertook to preserve Copies, not conceiving it neces- sary to do so. 184. — '/ou are requested to take back the Schedules annexed to the Contingency Vouchers, which you laid before the Com- mittee, and to annex to that of the Printers the residence of such Printers, and to state in the other Schedule the article for which (he sum opposite the name wan paid.

Kdwin James King, Esquire, again called in ; and examined : — 18. — Have you since your assumption to Office, made any Reports to the Post Master General, his Deputy, or Secretary, touching improvements or alterations in the keeping of the Post Office Accounts, or other matter concerning your Department ? —Last November I submitted a scheme for the coRsideration of the Deputy Post Master General, referring to tno proper naintenance of the check between the Post Office at Quebec and the Country Post Masters in the Canadas, and I have also one :eady to submit for the purpose of establishing a practicable check upon the cross Posts; that is, the correspondence between the overal Post Towns. 19. — Lay before the Committee, Copies of such Annual, Quarterly, and Periodical Accounts as you have Iransraitlc.-! ^o tho iieneral Post Office, London, in conformity with the Instructions given you by the Post Master General oa your appointment to Office, dated London, 3d July, 1834 ?— I shall do so. Tuesday, '.)fh February, 1836. Thomaa Allen Staynei, EsquiK , again r lied in ; and examined : — 183.— 20 I8ri.— Hnvo you admttcd nny Law prowodings lo recover Iho sevcrnl sums due lo the I'oslOnice Depurtmpnt by llie DefiniUcr»« reported by you lo (liia Committee ; and have you succeeded in obliging tlieni lo pay up Iheir balances ? — I have aJoplcd Law proceedini;ii n'j[ainst Iho PoBt Master of Barrord, Mr. Whitehead, and against Mr. licthune, the late I'ost Master of Cobourg ; the other Debtors ! have frequently written to, and 1 hope tii.-xt I shall recover from most of them without resorting to [jaw. Mr Irvine, of Colcau du Lac, has \ei\ the country, and hisSecuri.i'^s arc not to be found. I beg to explain, that the Revenue has not sustained any loss by those Defaulters, the Debts arc actually Jue lo me as Deputy I'ost Master General, inasmuch as I have credited lo (jovernnieni the full amount of their abstracts. |S(). — Do you still continue the said Defnulters in Office ? — Mr. Bethune is not in Office ; I was preparing to remove him when he resigned. Mount, of Delaware, is dead. Cameron, of Alexandria, has, I think, paid his debt ; but being a small matter I cannot he certain without reference to my Office; he is no longer employed. Kainsey, of Adolphustown, is also out of Office; as are Murdoch, of Lanark, and fiurkc, of Richmond. Relieving that the others will pay their debti eventually, I have not considered it incumbent upon me to dismiss ihcni from Office; for it will be observed that these debts are not of long standing; the Officers can indeed scarcely bo called Defaulters. It is besides not an eai^y matter at all tiroes to (ind a substitute for a Post Master : I am indeed frequently subjoclcd to much difficulty in searching successors to Post Masters who resign or are dismissed, and I could not, even if I were so disposed, dismiss every Post Masli-r from Office for being a little in arrears. I think I iniiy venture to say tl'.i3ii should be properly supplied. I was never told that any surplus Revenue accruing must be expended in extending Post Office communicatiuns W'thin these Provinces, but 1 considered that the feeling with the Post Master (leiieral was, that where new Post Routes and increased facilities were required, i was to supply them. When I lolt England, it was supposed that the Act for the re-organization of the Post Office Establishment in these Provinces submitted lo the several I'luviiiciul (■ovrrnuienis by Mr. Secretary Rice, would go into effect the 1st of January, 1836, when it was intended that I should be provided with fresh Instructions for my government. 189. — I'leaso lay before this Committee, Copies of the material Reports dated October, 1832, transmitted by you to the Post Master General, and referred to in G.

Sir, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yn:ir Letter of yesterday's date, conveying the desire of the Special Committee appointed to enquire into the State of the Post Office Department, that I should furnish with the least possible delay. Copies of the Annual Reports made to the Post Master General on the State of the Post Office Department in these Provinces, for the vears 1828, 1829, I8;i0, 1831, 1832, 1833 and 18;i4, and a Copy also of the Map of the Post Roads, Offices, &c. in British North America, alluded to in my IaHWi- dated 23d December (Qr. October ?) 1832. In reply to your Communication, I beg you will do me the favour to inform the Chairman of the Committee, that I have never transmitted any other Annual Reports, than for the yeara 1831, 1833 and 1833. 1 commenced those Reports in IS3I, taking up at that time, the state of the Department as it stood in April, 1828, when I assumed the charge of it, and from the same year, viz., 1831, I intended making Annual Reports ; but the plan was persevered in only for the two years next following, viz., 1832 and 1833. The preparation of these Statements requires more time than I have had at my disposal since I returned from England, and on this account I have never compiled a Report for I83i. I shall lose no time in copying for the use of the (,'om- luittee, the Annual Reports for 1831 and 18.'J3, and should the Committee then think tit to demand Statements lor the other years, it will be my duly lo compile them as soon as I can. 1 shall immctlialely employ a person at copying the Map required by the Committee.

The information desired by this section of llie Uequisition of the House of Assembly, so far as relates to the " Gross Amount of Revenue collected at each Office in Upper Canada," is (if I understand the lunituage rigliily) contained in Return numbered 12 ; but 1 do not see how it is possible to iiscertain " the whole expense of collevling the same," i. e. the Revenue in Upper Canada, since a part of the expense consists in the Mail conveyance, the Cuntingeni, and several other charges of the Departmental large, the proportion of which, as applicable to Upper C«tiailH, no one can tell : — If on the other hand by the terra "expense of collecting" it is required to know merely what coinpensaiinn the I'ost Masters receive, the information is contained in Returns numbered 4, 5 end 6. Here 1 trust I may be permitted to observe that I have carefully studied the Address of ilie House of Assembly, as well with regard to the item in ouesiion, as to its oilier parn, with a view of rendering all the information required so far as in me lay ; but should it appear that I hav* misconstrued the wording of the Requisition in any pari, 1 can only say that I shall regret it, and be ready to remedy the error as soon as it is pointed out to me.

The Address from (he House of Assembly amongst other information, connected with the Mails, requires that the rate (i. c. the rate of progressipn a* I understand it) at which tlie Mails are conveyed, should be slated. I have endeavoured as far as possible to comply with this n^uisition, by giving the average rate of progress of l he respective Mails as bargained for by me with the Contractors ; but persons acquainted with the climate and Roads of the Cunadas, must be awure of the impossibility of inforcing a strict compliance with the stipulations of a Mail Contract in this Country (as regards the rate of Travel) at all periods of the year. On many of the Koads it is quite possible in dry weather to travel 7 or 8 miles an hour, whilst in a rainy se.tson, or in the Spring or Fall of the Year, the same Itoad cannot by any exertion be travelled ai a litsier rale tUait 3 or 4 Miles I In forming the Contracts 1 endeavour to ascertain what rate of speed is necessary and attainable under ordinary circum- stances, and I make my agreement accordingly, — exercising my judgment in impo>ing Fines upon the Contractor when it can be proved that he or his people have not used proper elforis to get over their Stages in time. I beg lo observe that as a means of check upon the Couriers or Mail Drivers, 1 take care that a Time or Koad Bill accompanies each Mail upon all important Routes, and on these are noted by the different Post-Masters, the time occupied in each Stage — with other remarks, and tiiey form the grounds upon which 1 impose Gnet upon the Contractors, or take other steps against them for neglect of duty.

It is not in my power to state, neither can Mr. Miicaulay nor Mr. H'-ward, the Post Masters at Kingston and Toronto, who collected the above Monies, stnte, the precise days uf the rraprrtive payments— tho' that the monies were all puid (with the eiception of an '^alement of jCIT. 5. 0. made by inc, and explained in Note U.) the above gentlemen and mycelf are prepared to declare apon oaiii if necessary. Why the precise days of payment cannot now be cued, will, I trust, be found satisfactorily ac- counted lor in the following Note irom Mr. Macaulay, to whom I referred the question — the reasons stated by him as regards Kingston, applyini; in substance to Toronto. Mr. Mucaulaytt oays — " Mr. Daltoii was not punctual in paying up his Newspaper dues ; sometimes faccounted fur them myself to the Deputy Post Master (ieneral ut the quarterly periods, tlio' the money was not actually received by me at the lime ; but generally they were ^ettll'd fur by Mr. Dalton by u proinissuiy note, payable in 9U days after date, or by a draft" — A species of accommodatiun which i beg to add, 1 have never refused to any Printer who has requested it. At Toronto, Mr. Dalton did a considerable amount of Printing wuik for ihe Department, and any difTorence between his claims on this score, and his debt fur the transmissiun uf his papers, wiis accounled fur by him, either in cash or by his promissory obligations, which obligations he has always honorably redecMied. For the Octuber quarter I8.'i4, and January quarter 1835, it will be perceived by the Remark in the pruper place, that Mr. Dalton puiil fur ihe transmission of his pi'pers, when they were taken to the Post Oflice. B. It l)ecame necessary to introduce into this Statement, an account uf the charge made aguinst Mr. Dalton, fur the trans- mission of his paper, the "Catholic," because when he discontinued ihe publlcatiuii of that paper, he stated that he was a severe sutferer both by it and the " Patriot," from the non-payment of the subscriptions, and other cuiisus — and on this ground, he appealed to my consideraliun of his case, as regarded my claim upon him fur the transniis-.iun of those papers. He was then indebted to me .f 17. 5. 0. — and having every reason to believe that his statement was true, I cancelled my demand against him for this sum, distinctly explaining to him at the time, that althii' the pe .'iilinr circumstances uf his case induced me to forego my claim in this instance, it was nut to be assumed as a precedent either by him ur any oiIiit Newspaper proprietor. C. I beg leave to avad myself of this opportunity to explain, in reference to payments un account uf the " Patriot" which appear in the Statement uf Newspaper Postage laid before the House uf Cumuions in 1833, that the discrepancy between that Statement, and the present, arises fi'um the fact that in making up the fuiiner, the Clerk who was empluyed at the task, finding amongst the Kingston Accounts, Memoranda of only two payments in behalf uf the '■ Patriot," siippused that no more hud been made, and without referring to me on the subject, filled in the amounts accordingly ! 1 was at that time engaged in preparations for my departure for England, and being nearly overwhelmed with business, was unable to revise all the papeis that were being made out in my office, so carefully as under other circumstances I should have dune — and in this way the error esca|)ed my notice. It is due to myself further to say with regard to what is called " Newspaper Postage," that this being an emolument of my own, I never considered it necessary to be so particular in preserving the Documents connected with it, as of those relating to Govern- ment Monies, neither have I ever exacted from my Deputies, (who assist me in the collection of these monies) such formal and piecise .Accounts as they render of the Public llevenue; and this i liotie will be borne in mind should other inaccuracies under the same head (of the existence of which however 1 am not aware) be detected. It is not my wish to render any other than correct statements, and I have taken every means in my power to make those I am now preparing, perfectly correct : still, trifling errors may have crept in, and should it prove so, 1 rr|)eat that they have arisen from cnuscs such us I have attempted to describe.

Mr. King at first appeared to think ho must call upon uic to acknowledge my accountability fur those monies ; for altlio' lie saw and admitted the injustice of my being made accountable for large ■ums of money due by persons over whom i possess no control whatever, he ihout^lit Ins instructions left lijin no choice ! However, when he came to reflect that my .Vccoiiiils for tiie saiiu! (jnai ter were already in Enj4tand, and that it wat therefore impomible for him to comply with iliiit i>ai . of liis insiniciioos winch directs him lo incuiporule the Novu Scotia and New Brunswick Accounts with those ol'ilie tlanailas, he concluded to semi iliein forward as iliey ^lood, atiii lo apply for further orders — this he has done. 1 beg leave to observe here that I am not disposed to shiiiik tiuni the reHptmsibilily of (he charge ofthe Department in Nova- Scoliaand New-iiriinnwick, if it IS the inicntion of the Post Masi.M General that 1 should assume it ; but it suicly never can be intended that 1 am to be held answerable lor the debts of the Deputies in iliose remote Provinces, before they are |ilaced under my orders, and I receive lecnrily fi>r ilieir good behuviour, as is (he case in Danuda. It in equally im|K>*siblc hir inc to suppose it is inteniled that in any event, I am to as^uiue the responsibility ofthe olil debts due by Mr. Howe and his Deputies ! The loial amoiitit of those debts is veiy i»rg<- and the liability might be very injurious to me, for even were Mr. Howe's Bonds to l)e transferred to me as secuiily, it would be an inudeq\>ttte one. Ills Bond to the (ieneral Post Office is for^loC.) only — wt.dst ni ihe month of .April la:i, he owed i.'"JI(M), and for oii^lil I know the debt may now be much {(reater. I have the highest personul ret;ur(l for Mr. Howe, and have the utmo it confidence in his integrity, but it is not reason- able (hat I should be exp-tsecl to an undue liability for his oack debts. 1 have further lo remark that Mr. Howe in his Acrniint Current makes n dislinc;ioii between the sums due by himself and his Oepudei, from which i( would appear ho does not cinisider himself answerable for the latter ; yon may probably think that this requires nxphiiiullon. — Ah lo Ihusr Deputies [ know nulhing of them, nor ulii'her lliey have ever furnished Bonds, or are able to pay the deblscliarged against iheni. The sum of iiiy ;iigument. Sir, is Ihis — llmt if I am to assumethe responsibility ofthe Department in the Lower Provinces, 1 humbly conceive it necessary, in the first place, that the different Deputies, including Mr. Howe, ithould be inslrucled (o consider ihemsclves subject to my orders, which will enable me lo exact filling security from them respectively, uniler a penally for Ihe iion-pcrformance of their duties, recoverable in this Country, 'indly.

The insuffi- ciency of the place now occupied as an nllice at Montreal has I'requently been submitted by nie for the consideration of my Lord ilie Po,-t Master (ienrral, nm! I boheve it is one of the topics dwelt upon in the representaticns made by the Merchants of that City relative to ilie Post Otiice Establishment. The Post Master provides the office himself — and his argument is that he cannot afford out of his income, to provide an office suitable for the wants of the public in such a City as Mnntrcal. In the Estimate for a new arrntigemenl of llie Montreal Establishment which I had the honor to submit last Summer, I • .roPi(ly urjjed llie propriety ot'liaving the exp'.'iise of the office at that place paid by the General Post Office — and I again humbly lecommend the adoption of this plan — mherwise neither the Post Master nor the public will ever be satisfied. It would gratify me veiy much, ond relieve me from annoyance and perjilexity if the Estimates for the Establishments at Montreal, Kin-'ston and York (now I'orontoCity) weredecided upon, and I hope it may not be deemed importunate that I respectfully entreat your at'ention to iliuse Items nmongsi the questions still undecided in reference to the Department in these Province'. I have told Mr. Porteous in answer to his fjeiter, that I could not undertake to grant liim any .tuthority for procuring an Office Hi tliu expense of the Keveniie — and ns to his looking to the Mcrcluints tor assistance, I shall most assuredly not give my sanction to ihal, MS I have had too much leison to know, that the Merchants of Montreal have already identified themselves with the concerns iif that Post Office loan extriit, calvutated in my opinion, to subvert the discipline and subordination which should be maintained in this, as ill every other (inveinmciit Establishment.

Mr. Koss our proprietor has now introduced Tailors and dry goods !*hops immediately below the Post Office, and those wiih Armour's Printing Office on one side, and a Boarding House on the other, render the danger to which the Post Office, with iia valuable contents, is hourly exposed to from fire, very great indeed, and the consequences and inconvenience thai would ensue from such an event, are so palpable and reasonable, that I sincerely hope you will take the matter into consideration and aftiiril us some relief, however little it may be. The idea of so many Money letters, and other valuable deposits laying night after niglii exposed in the manner I state, would certainly be severely commented upon by sujferers, were any thing to happen, and 1 feel it an absolute duty to lay the matter before you. The public, from the alterations Mr. Ross has introduced, are now obliged to gxa\w up a pair of stairs, hardly any light, and in Winter attended with the danger of breaking some of their bones ; after getting up they then umii into a small Lobby half filled with fire-wood ; an inconvenience we are (^om want of room otherwise^ obliged tu unist upcn. From the remarks daily made at the Office by many of the respectable Merchants here, I think sunie help may be procured tiom them, but without your approbation I should not like to make the application. One thing certain ihe Office canniit leniuin whnjc it is any longer, it must be removed to some place o( more safety than its present location, lor the danger from tire is ii/u/'//jt//u to all who feel any interest in the Post Office.

Mr. Wallei Having omitted to furnish the name of eiilu-r of his sons at Barr'i^ it ia out of my nowerto'communicate with Ihera, as I c'ouUI have wished to do for iliu purpose ot ascertaining in a nioie circ.iiiHtantial way ilian I possibly can, through tha rather 's letter, the actual farts connected with ilieir complaints. It is stated that a I'Ctter from the senior Mr. VValler, dated liiU .lunc, and sent via New York, was not received by the son tilt the ISih of October ! — this is certainly a long time to wait for a letter firom England, but the delay may have happened without the slightest blame being importable to any Officer of the Post Office Establishment in this country. The letter wa". in all prubabitily resting " till called for," eithor at the Office of Toronto City (the seat ofGovenmeni) or at " Holland Landing" Office, (the nc.-irest Post Office- to the Settlement ol'Btirrie, though still pro* bdbly 30 or 40 mites distant from it) tor a couple of months or mure. I am unable to say any thini; more satisfactory about the News- fiapers — they have no doubt been forwarded to one of the Offices nearest to " Barrie," and not being called for, have been relumed to Knc;land ■» " Dead." Mi. Waller (the son) in his complaint, exclaims against the "wretched" Post Offic' arrangements which kitp him I bus long deprived of his letters ! I cnnnol blame liini : it is riol to be wondered at, that people so plagued aoout their cor* renftondeiice should be indignant, hut I individiiallv, buller this reproach us well in the niiiitlSf ns in the liiiigitnge of those people, ihiiugh I ineril noiliiii;^ of the kind ; for II um an anxious a* they tjieinselves can be, to extend the Post communications into tha iMieriot of llp|>er (^Rimda, that ihey may keep pace with the rapid advances ot Settlement making in that fine Province, by an uiielligeut and interesting class of |teuplc, but I have not the means. 'T'is very tiue, as Mr. Wallar dtates, that nearly two year^ago I promised to establish an Office at " Barrie," and I promisetl Oie same to many other placn Minita ly situated, but just then, I was ordered to England — nothing could be done in that way durioi; >y absence — and since my reiuin, I have been so overwhelinetl with work, that it has been quite as much aa I coula manajje, to keep the cunent duties goini(, without e«tal)li>liing any new Offices. The phrase " wretched'' made use of by Mr. Waller in speaking of our Post Office arrangements, is not intended, as I believe, to apply to the lines ol Posle Route now in existence — but simply to the fact which is undeniable— that thousands of well educated people (with whom Post Office accommodation is almost a necessary of life) inhabiting the back parts of the I'riivince, wliere they have formed thriving Towns and Selilenienis, li-om 20 to 50 or more miles from the Posts now organized, are totally without the means of curre«^>onding with their distant friends — except they send and bring their letters by private agency. i nm within bounds in sayinj; that at this moment, — there are from two to three hundred distinct societies of people, spread over the country, in Upper (Canada alone, similarly situatetl to the Inhabitanii uf Barrie, and who like them aresuffering for want ul' that accommodation which I would fain give them, had I the power of doing it. This is a cruel state of things, and the moi« to be lamented, becnuse I believe that ense of that collection, and of carrying on the service generally, by the scale which obtains in England, does not afford a fair criterion : the rate does not apply ! Wilh yon, all is order and i-ysti-m, the result of the gradual progress of improvement fur many years ; here, on the contrary, the Poiit Uflice has grown into iinpoitanre with unexampled rapidity — the demand for improvement is already , 'a r in advance of the means of supply ; and for want of Post Office I^aws and Kegulationa suited to the circumstances of the country, we have ofien lo resoit to piovieiunal measures, the whole of which 7 must not only liee acted upon, but see how they act ; and v/hen they fail of their intended ellWct, as they often ilj, iiy others ! Hence my labor is ince>sant, and 1 perceive no chance of any relief, for although I niii-lil in timo, drill into re^ulaiity the dill'erent Officers if their numbers were limited, yet from the perpetual increase of Oflicea — the unpruciict'd liaiuls thul we have to employ in tliciii, ii< tl itie iie(|iivnt disiin^suU iwul resignations goin>r on constantly in the minor OlKce-', ii in evident tlmi loi in.iny vimph iliu ■aiww vvatclifiiliu-ss iiiul exeriion will be called for fioni the person lioldinj; my fcilimiion wliitli 1 uin now compelled lo exercise.

The complaints ol' the Inhabiiaiits on this score, iuu becoming loud and threatening, and I consider it as a part of my duly lo describe thorn as fur as I am able, lo the Post Master General, beinj; convinced, Ihat if Ihev are not met by mc wilh early allenlion, they will speedily be in^trafied upon Ihu cai.ilogui> of Provincial grievances, and be laid before the House of Commons, and this I trust il is not an act of supercrogalion in me to endeavour to avert ; for 1 feel that if I were nnl lo make the representalion't I nin now making;, I should be but ill able lo defend myself from the reproaches against my conduct as Deputy Pus*.

In recominendino the Post .Musters too, (which is generally (lone by ihc liihubilanls v,\w\\ an OtVlce is firxt applii'd for,) it is not iiiil'requently the case, that rival Candidates for Ihe silii- alion are brought forward by dilTereiil panics.

In the five years that intervened between the date of my a|ipoiiittneiit as Depiilv Po't Ma.-tcr Geneial und my call In England, I had by great exertion increased the number of ie;4ulai Oificcs under my roiitiol from JK), to I ihink about 2()()or870! but beyond llutl liiat us already slatted, I have not licuii able to ;;o ; one reason for tins is — that the situations « here new Offices are now most wanted, are, so remote, und my means of iiiforiiialion c>uiKei|iieiitly so iinsulisfuctory, that it would be improper in ine 10 agree lo form them, anil to make Contracts and other airaii^eiiionls for ihe conveyance ol the Mails, ^c, without the ailvice of persons aclinjr under inv order", upon uhose judijiiieni, afler visiliii;; tlie tpms re>^pertively, I could place reliance. The I'roviiices ofLowei and L'pp«?r Canada, (lo say nothing of the l,u\»er Province-,) icquire at this lime — not less than 5(X1 Offices — ihal is to say, double the numlMT they rinw have, and in ten yeui.s fiom iliw lime, they will need u thousand at least. With proper nssislunce, I could ci'-ate and put into surc»*ssful o(wrulion, all thai arc wanted, at Ihe rale of |{)0 each year, — less than this scale of udvaiiremenl will not saiisfy the public.

In another despatch I shall have (he honor of eiplaining that the intended new constitution of the Post Otiice in these C'plonies, cannot possibly ao into effect at (he period con(empla(cd — i( is indeed from pre8en( appearances not improbable, (hat the proposed measure will fall through — in which event, as a matter of course, the General Post Office in London, will have to ronlinue to administer the duties of the Department under such advantages as the present constitution may be capable of afford- ing; until a new arrangement shall be determined upon. The turn which (his affair has (aken, deB(roying (he hope of (he iniroduction of a new system for some (iine (ocome, is an additional reason for me, if one were wanted, for urging as 1 respectfully beg to do, the adoption ot a vigorous course of proceedings in the extension and general improvement of the Post Office Department throughout the Province — such as will meet the wishes of the well disposed and reasonableportionof (he Inhabitants and leave no fair ground for complaint. So far as 1 am concerned, I am prepared to carry into effect the views of the Post Master General to any extent that he may be pleased command, and i shall await His Lordship's decision on this, (which I cannot but consider a very important) matter, with much solicitude. I have, Sic. (Signed,! T. A. STAYNER, Deputy Post Master (ieiieial Sii V. Frceling, Bart, Sec, &c. &c. Ih P.

Of the Newspapers of this Province, (KOiiie of which were former- ly vevy violent on die subject) the greater pari seem carelully to abstain from touching upon the question : It would appear that llie Printers, after feeing the Bill, and ascertaining that by it they would be obliged to pay for the transmission of iheir Newspapers, in some cases three or four times as much as they now do, iliought it better to let the matter alone. Some ot the Printers indeed 111 nl''are, indeed it is imiiossible (o get it ready during tlie [iiescnt Keation. In reply to the application, I baveintbrnied His Excellency that I would set about collecting the information, but that I nppiehended it could not be fiirnislied so ioon as it ap|)eared to be expected. You will perceive Sir, in this Uequisitiun, that the Assembly of Upper Canada has not confined itself to demanding intormation relating exclusively to l/iat Province, but 1 am called upon to give statements embracing the Post Office business of all the British North American Colonies.

On tlic 20ili of Inst month in replyintj to your Letter relative lo Mr. Armour':] complaint d^ainst the Post Master of Montreal, for not tbrwHrilinfj hi« tiiut'lte by the Post in the way tliut he desired to liuvc it done— I informed yon that Mr. Armour had biuii;>ht the subject of liis Newspaper before 'he House of Assetnbiy of this Province at its last Session — and in (loinf; so, had Biicceedecl in miikiii<; the administration of tlie concerns of the Post Ulfice Department generally, a mutter fur Parliiimentiiry enquiry. In rettirence to the intiiniiiion contained in my Letter above mentioned, that I would in a few days liave the honor of snbmitlini^ to you frt and proceedings of the Houiie upon (lie question, I be>; leave now lo lay these Ducuincnts before you, (contuined in a sinitil piinteil Book herewith,) and to solicit yuur particular noiice(f ihe s:iiiie, and lo my remarks thereon. It is unnecessary for me to say much here, in relation lo Ihe detaiU of tlie eiiqniiy, but it is proper however I conceive, to acquaint you, that as soon as 1 learnt that a motion had been made in the Assembly for the tbrmation of a Committee lu inqune into ihe lleceipt* and Kxpenditure of the Oeparlineni, (eeliufj myself .it a loss how to act (beinj; unprovided with any Instructions for my noveniment in the circumstances in which ( saw 1 shonlil be placed), I waited u[)on the (lovernor General Lord Ayliner, lo solicit His Ijurdship's advice. His Kxcellency was pleased to enter with me into the subject in a very kind manner, and concurred with me in ihe view which I took of it — uamely, that without Oideis |i> tli;it elfect fiom His (Jrace the I'osl Maner (Jeneial, i was not at liberty to make such disclo»uies with reijiird lo the I'inance inncerns of the Dopartment, as it was evideni the House ol Assembly would e ideavour to olilaiii, and tli.il llieieloro my course was lo confine myself to ullording inform.ilion on such matt ts as 1 coneei 'ed ihe Post Master (Jeneral would wiih ihe House of Assembly to become acqiiainled with, anct respecldilly to dcrline aiiswerini; oiher questions. The line of conduct here described, I endeavuureil in my sev^-ial examinations before the Committee lo observe : I gave every information ihai I lhout;hl it my duty to afford, and al|hou<;h the Committee have not seen fit to publish in their jiroceedings some very important parts of my evidince, I am nevertheless convinced tlwit the inlbrination they have obtained through me, has corrected many erroneous ideas respectiiij; the Post Office Kslabltshmenl in this country, which Mr. Armour and some other Printers, of the same views, h;ive been industriously disseminating for a loni; lime — and that altogether the Enquiry will be of service to the character of the Department. The Coinmittec in ilieir Report animadvert upon the " mys'erv" which I liave observed in my examinations, because I would not an.:wer llieir Questions relatini; lo the Money mailers of the Department ! Had I taken upon myself to do so, I felt that I mi!»ht f)c doin^ a great deal of mischief; for although Ihey might not at this momeni have discovered any thing in the way of i'ritfit lo induce them lo desire llie control of the Department, a scheme which some in.'ividuals have been preparing, or at least speculalini; upon, mv answering such questions without reserve, would have been esliiblishing a precedent that would not have brcn lost Kight of, and which at no distant period (if not at oiire) might prove embarrassing to the (lenerul Post Olhcc and His Mojcsly's (iovernmenl, and I chose therefore, until I could receive Instructiuus for my guidance, rather to incur the risk of displeasing llie Provincial Parliament, than be an instrument of giving trouble to those .Vuthoriiics to whom my first duties aro engaged. His (irace the Post Master General cannot fail to observe, "pr.ji reading the eviilence, Ihc disingenitousness which has been exercised by some of the Printers (through wliosc ageniy this enquiry was instituted) in their oxamiiialion before ihe Committee, in order to make out a c;i«e which might secure the inleifeience of the House of Assembly in their behalf. The whole measure was got up in all its bearings by the management of the before nienlioned Mr, Armour, who working upon Ihe crednlily of other Printers, persuaded llieni that by joining with him they would either secure the setiding of their Papers by the Post Fn-c, or at all events send them at u lower rale than they now pay, I must al ihe same lime remark, that with the exception of .Mr. Armour, and one or two others, the Printers in both Upper and Lower Cuiiada seem to be ttill >luten)ei ts, and in re^ y to the demand tliiit 1 Hhould siute the arrangeuiontit under which I conduct my munied traiuactit ns uiili the United 8iiite<, 1 desire to inluiiu the Coiuniitiee, that I am ilie General Agent ofi'-> United State'' Po:tribiiiing()nUeii for American Postage, in both Upper and Ijower Canada, receiving the Uevenue from the severid Post Mastere, and rpiniiiing it to U'up|iln>;ion, as will appear by the Accoiintii Current sent herewith.

I beg leave now to furnish some remarks by way of jiisiitying t!ie v;ew I took of the sutiject when I prepared Ilia foregoing Estimate, to assist me in doing which 1 have lettered the seveial Items : — -I think that the loss to tic apprehended under this head cannot he counted at less than I Inive made it. -When in England I had no certain means of |iidgliig what nii;,'lit be the amoiinl ol the Postage Accounts of the several Provinces, under this head ; but 1 should lliink iliey amount to as niucli as I have slated. -I think this u low Estimate. -I only learnt in England that these sums of money were provideil by the Iiegislatures of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, towards supporting certain lines of Post. I could not tin by rvlcrunce to llie Accounts of the deputy Post Master General at Halifax, any trace of the appropnat on of the Money, nor do I know how the Account is kept, but it was necessary that in forming a plan for the ie-oi')rani/,aii(in of the Posts, this Money should be brought into the calculation. Upon the line of coininunicatiun with New liriinswick. u number of tlkiiiilies are settled for the purpose of keepinj; the Road, and assisting the Courier at diflicult passes. These families are supplied with Rations ol I'lour at the expense of the Military Chest, and a man is piiiil 'Js. a-day, lioin th- same source, to look alter them and see that tliey t'ulfil the obligations in" 'heir agreement. The total cost is about LM). a-ye«r, and as the liritish (iovernment upon a transfer of the Post OITlcc Revenue, could not be ex|)ecled (o bear the chiiiijc, I included it in the i^sliinate. I beiieve I am not fur wrong in fixing tins licni at X'.'iOOO. It was formerly much mr-e, but the New Yoik Merchant Packets have taken a great deal of tli.- coriespundence away from the old llahfitx and Fajiiiouth line. I now think this item too low. And this also — but taking the whole together, if I were now called u[K)u to form an Estimate for the object under discussion, 1 woiiKI make the total amount very nearly what it npiNiars iii the Slaten nt < ;iicli I have aow the honor to hand to the Comniittrc.

With regard to the other charge, of closing the Ollice at 2 o'clock, p.m., 1 beg le»vi> to deny it in the mutit positive terms ; for except on Saturdays and MondnvH, when no Posts come in or are dliipalched, except from the TownshliH, the Office is never sliut before. 3 o'clock in the afternoon ; and when it happens that the l'o>t8 are later iti arriving, ut a much later hour. During the last three months, 1 have mvaelf issued letters ut every hour from 9 in the morning till 10 o'clock at night. This is the tirst lime that 1 have heard of the cuiiiplaini in question, it has never been made to me, or to any other person about the Post Office ; iind if it had, I was perfectly prepaied to satisfy any person of its not being well founded. Those who are moat in the habit of frequenting this Olhce with, and fur letters, are ready to testify to the accuracy of these jitaicmenis, as well as to certify their general sutiifuciion with the manner in which the duties of the Office are performed, should timt be decmeu necessary.

A Coinuiission was appointed to enipiire into llie circumstances connected with llie loss of these .Money Letters, hut after a laborious and strict iovcstitrallon, ilie fjentleiuen who com|H)se(l il, were unable to determine by whom or in what manner the depredalions had been coininilled, — The Letters appear to have been duly forwarded from the London and Si. Thomas I'ost Ollicei, but the .MuiU cveen ircinsiniited as stated by liiit As^isiiiiu, and lie niiide |rood tlie los-i. I The Mail from Kiiifj^ioii fur Moniieul, oFtlio IGih February, 18.^.1, containinjj the Money Letters stated in the Return, |was dropped from the Stage near O/nabruck, II. (.', on the nij;litof the l7ih February, it was picked up by a labjuring man Inained Cook, brnkeii open and plundered l)y his wife, and the "realer part of the contents bmnt. — Fdwatd Cook died in iCornwall Gaol, his wile, Fanny Conk, was tried and found fjiiliy at the Curnwall Assi/e-.. — V prosecution against the iMail CoDlractor tor tlie Miintreal aiul Kui^ston route, by whose want of caie ihe Mail wusdiuppeil, is now in progress, and when the penalty sued f)r shall bo recovered, the parlies who have sustained loss by thisoccuirence, will be reimbursed.— One hundred and twelve Dollais of ihe money li>und in Conk's possession, have been deposited with the Deputy Post Master (jeneral, by order of the Court. This Letter not having; lieen recorded as a Money fietler, could not be traced. This Letter was maileil fniin Moniieal, on (he litli •Inly, but did nut reach ils destination until (I believe) some time in October last, and in con>ei|ucnceof iliis <>ieat del,iy, vva-> supposed to have been lost ; the cause of the retardnlion could not be asccitained, but the conclusion is that it wh* iiccideniut and not criiuiiial. This sum of uionev was staled by Mr. nishopiick to have been inclosed in a Letter from a Mr. Playter, to Messrs. R, F. Maiiland & Co. of Montreal, which Letter ivas by .Mr. liishopiick inclosed in one from himself, addressed to the same (!rni, and mailed at (he Uyiown OlFice. — Mr. Muiiland receited this Iietier himself, (imiiiediitiely after the arrival cf the Kylown Mail at Montreal,) with the seal |ieifeclly uninjured, and the inner Letter from Mr. I'luyler was in the like good order, yet on bein<; opened, the money slaied by .Mr, liishoprick to have hten inclo.ied therein, was not lo be faund. — riom ihe iinpossibiliiy of abstracting money from the inner Letter, iindiM' the circumstances above detailed, wilhuiit damage to ihe sealg of either that or the envelope, combined with other cauies of suspicion, it is mure than prubabic that Mr. Uishoprick'" stalemenlwas not correct.

' l''' I beg to avail myself of this opportunity of repairing an omission which occurred in replying to the question* relative to the rransmission of NewfpRperf) by the Itiail, ( jpun the charge for which the Printers hav? complained), and to rrquesi that what I rtow state may be enter recently made of the creation of a number ut new offices and of other improvements, it is as f!>llow* : " Much a* has been already dene, I would recommend you to consider the propriety and expediency of eatending am ig the communications by Post sliil further, as well on the (irand Routes as on ihe Branches, and uioie especially in cnsei ii.icreasing in which there is a prospect that the additional accommodation will afford the means of defraying the extra expenses, and where the increase of population and the formation of new Towns and Settlements may fairly justify it. The arrangements of the Post Office ought to keep pace with the settlement and with the consemK-nt demands for accommodation of the country.'' The Committee will, I trust, be setisfied from these proofv Route*. In refi^rence to these latter objects, I have the following facts to offer. The number of Offices in operation in Upper and Lower Canada in June, Isf^S, when my appointment was noiifiad here wai loe. ' Vat number is at present 160, with the probability of amounting to 200 in a very short time. The number of miles of Post Route travelled has increased in a still greater proportion than the number of Offices, and a corresponding improvement in the di*patch, (that is, the rate of iiavplliug), has taken place upon every road that would admit of it, or where it appeared to be necessary. The greater number of the Office* created by me have bei u in t'.iu Upper Province.

Enclosure in No. 120.] Grneral Post Office, SOth December, 1819. I am commanded by my Lords the Post Master General, to transmit to you for the information ot Cnrl Bathurst, extract of a letter from their l^ordships' Deputy in British North America, dated 12th October, and copy of one of 1st Novem- ber, on the subject of private Steam Vessels carrying Letters without the Intervention of the Post Office, more especially between Quebec and Montreal, between which places there is a regular Pont communication twice a week, and requesting instructions for his guidance. Although no rra^onnble doubt could ue entertained of the illegality of I he practice, their Lordships thought it right to refer Ihe paper* to their Solicitor, for his opinion thereon, lie state* that liy the Statute f)ih Queen Anne, Cap. 10, Sec. 17, "It " is enacted that no person or persons whatever in Her Majesty's Plantations in America, (other than the Deputies of Ihe Pott " Master General,) shall presume to receive, lake up, order, despatch, convey, carry, recarry, or deliver any letter, (other than *' such letters as are excepted by the 2d Sec. of this Act,) or make any collection of letters, or set up, or employ any post, packet " boat, or any other vcswl or boat, person or persons, conveyance or conveyances whatever for the receiving, carrying or deliver- " ing any letter or packet, by sea or by land, or on any river within llet Majesty's Dominions, on pain of forfeiting £i Sterling " fur every offence against the tenor oftliis Act, and aUo the sum of i.'IOO tor every week thatsuch offences shaU continue.'' Atid under that section he is of opinion that " the practice of the conveyance of tetters by Steam Boats as alluded in the letter from the " Deputy Post Master General of Canada Is illegal," and he adds that by Section 19 of the same Act " the Penalties are made *' recoverable in any of Her Majesty's Courts of Kecord," but he cannot give an opinion as to the recovery of the Penalliea in Canada. The Deputy Post Master General states that he had agreed to allow the Captains of the Steam Boats 8d. per letter, and then charged the legal postage fur their conveyance, but that he had received information from Upper Canada, that many persons (hrre refused to pay postage on letters conveyed by Steam Boats as being tin illegal chaige, and that the subject is to be brought before the Legislature at the ensuing Seaslon It is presumed that the rights uf the Post Office is clear, and their Lordship i natural course would be to direct their Deputy in Canada, to enforce the Law against the offenders, thereby proctecling His Majesty's Kevenue, so that it might continue to be brought to the Exchequer of this country ; but as the liCgislature of these Provinces has in several instances manifested an incliiiHiion to interfere with the internal Posts and Iheir llevenues, and as the Solicitor cannot give an opinion as to the recovery in Cannd:< of any Penalties to which the parties might be liable under the Acts before quoted, their Lordships consider the subject as one (if great delicacy, and have thought it right to state the circumstances for Earl Bathurat'a consideration, and to request his Lordship's opinion before any instructions are sent out to their Deputy In Canada on the subject.

Deab Sir, Genbral Post Office, Quebec, 3d December, 1836. Ever since the introduction ot Steam Boats into these Provinces, the Post Office Keveniie has diminished considerabiv during the season of navigation, as many people send their idlers by them instead of through the Post Office, merely to avoid paying Postage, and although I had Letter Boxe^t put on board of each for the convenience of the public, and the safe conveyance of letters, yet they prefer sending ihem by peisons on board of these boats to the manifest injury of the Revenue, and as I conceive it to be my duty to put a stop to this practice by every legnl means in my power, I request your opinion whether it is lawful to have Letters carried by Steam Boats, or other river craft, or by the captains, crews, or passengers on board of either, free of Postage, and if not, what steps ought 1 to take to enforce the law? i!!<.i« ,„ James Stuart, Esquire, Attorney General. ."( IHI>T1v^ I have the honour to be, Dear Sir, Your most obedient servant ;*" (Signed,) D.

I am of opinion that the carrying and delivery of Letters, free of Postage, by persons conveyed in Steam Boats, and others, as mentioned in the preceding letter, except in the cases specially permitted by law, is illegal ; and that the proper course for putting a stop to this unlawful practice would be to prosecute the persons guilty of it, for the pecuniary penalties which they thereby incur. There can, I conceive, occur no difficulty in the recovery of these, if care be fiken to substantiate the facts constituting the offences referred to, according to the provisions ot the Statutes upon this suhject, ;;articularly of the 9ih Ann, Cap. 10, and gStli Geo.
