By Order,

W. WILSON, Surveyor General,
POST OFFICE NOTIFICATION.
The constant changing of the Chinese sent to the Post Office for Correspondence on the arrival of Mails has rendered it necessary to make a rule that no Correspondence shall be delivered to Coolies who are not furnished with an authority from their Employers.
It is suggested, however, for better identification and to avoid the necessity for written authorities on each occasion, that Boxholders should furnish themselves with Metal Badges bearing their names in English and Chinese, which Badges should be worn by the Coolies on the right arm when applying for correspondence.
A Pattern of the proposed Badge can be seen at this Office.
