In the y&r ending Jnne 30, 1865, our Govern¬ 
ment had 196 Consulates in working order, and 
paid the oJusuls for that year $358,361. The 
Consuls colected in fees $387,109, bo that the 
net cost to the Government was only $71,653. 
Some of thejOonsulates puy much more than any 
| other office* in the nation. The Presidency is 
not worth so much in money as the Consulates 
at Liverpool, London or Paris; and in a number 
of countries Consuls are receiving more pay 
than the Ministers representing the nation in 
those countries. We append the salaries and 
fees of the lirgest Consulates:
