PARCEL POST.-There is a common be. lief in the existence of a Parcel Fast by which ench articles as Fans, Curios, silk Dresses, Bearves, Jewellery, Artificial Tooth, &c, can be forwarded at low rates, It cannot be too distinctly stated that such things can only be sent as Letters, and the very cheapest rate is 12 cents per half ounce by Private Steamer,

All such packages should be Registered (8 cents).

1st. The publication must consist wholly or in great part of political or other news, or of articles relating thereto, or to other current topics, with or without advertise

rents.

2nd. It must be published in numbers at intervals of not more than 31 days, and must be printed on a sheet or sheets un- stitched.

3rd. The full title and date of publication must be printed at the top of the first page, and the whole or part of the title and the date of publication at the top of every subsequent page; and this regulation applies to Tables of Contents and Indices. ----4th. A supplement must consist wholly or in great part of matter like that of a newspaper, or of advertisements, printed on a sheet or sheets, or a piece or pieces of paper, unstitched; or wholly or in part of engravings, prints, or lithographs illustra tive of articles in the newspaper. The supplement must in every case be published with the newspaper, and must bave the title and date of publication of the newspaper printed at the top of every page; or, if it ounsists of engravings, prints, or lithographs, at the top of every sheet or side.

Exceptions. -No packet for Algeria, Azores, Cape de Verd Islands, France, Madeirs, or Portugal, or for Egypt, Syria, or Turkey, when sent by French. Packet must be above 18 inches in length, width, or depth.

AS REGARDS PATTERNS.

They must not be of intrinsic value. This rule excludes all articles of a saleable nature, and indeed whatever may have a value of its own, apart from its mere uae a pattern; and the quantity of any material sent ostensibly as a pattern muss not be so great that it can fairly be con- sidered as having on this ground an intrin- sic value.

To guard against such injury all postal Packets which are likely to suffer from stamping or from great pressure should be placed is strong covers; and even with this precaution no fragile article should be sent through the Post. It should be remembered that every packet has to be handled several times; that it is exposed to considerable pressure and friction in the mall bag; and that, whenever the bag has in the course of its transmission to be transferred by means of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury is much increased.

Postmunsters are not bound to weigh any letters or other packets for the public, but they may do so if their duty be not thereby impeded.

The practice of seating letters passing to and from the East and West Indies, and other countries with hot climates, with wax except such as is specially prepared), is attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious injury, not only to the lotters so Bealed but to the other letters in the mail, from the melting of the wax and adhesion of the letters to each other. The public are therefore recommended, in all such cases, to use either wafera or gum, and to advise their correspondents in the coun- tries referred to, to do the same.

THE CHINA REVIEW.

THE widely oxpressed regret at the dis-

continuance of Notes & Queries on China and Japan, has induced the publish- ers of this journal to issue a publication similar in object, and style, but slightly modified in certain details.

THE CHINA REVIEW, or Notes and Queries on the Far East, is issued at in- tervals of two months, each number con- taining about 60 octavo pages, occasionally illustrated with lithographe, photographs, woodents, &c., should the papers published demand, and the circulation justify, such extra matter.

Fanny Trabner's Oriental Record contains the fob Ferdinand lowing notice of the China Review This Formoss Is the title of a publication, the first number Forward of which has lately reached us from Hong- Frang Long, where it has been set on foot as in Garibaldi Dome respects a continuation of Notes and Hermann Queries on China and Japan, the extinction Humboids. of which useful serial a year or two ago has ino

as well as Isles of the South been much regretted in Europe In China. Thepresent publication, judging James Wilson by the number now before us, is intended to James Vinicombo cupy a position, as regarda China and the Lathley Rich neighbouring countries, somewhat similar Lord Macduff to that which has been titled in India by the Marion Calcutta Review. The great degree of at- tention that has been bestowed of late years upon the investigation of. Chinese literature, antiquities, and social developments, to say noting of linguistic studies, has led to the Borumulation of important acores of inform ation, rendering some such channel of pub. licity as is now provided extremely desir. able; and contributions of much interest may fairly be looked for from the members of the foreign consular services, the Chinese Customs corps, and the missionary body, among whom a high degree of Chinese scholarship is now assiduously cultivated, and who are severally represented in the first number of the Review by papers highly creditable to their respective authors. In 16 paper on Dr. Legge's She King, by the

Rev. E. J. Eitel, to which the place of Nautilus honour is deservedly given, an excellent Vesta summary i presented of the chronological problems and arguments involved in con- nexion with this important work. Some translations from Chinese novels and plays are marked by both accuracy and freshness of style and an account of the career of the Chinese poet-statesman of the eleventh century, Su Tung-p'o, by Mr. E. C. Bowra, is not only historically valuable, but is alig distinguished by its literary grace. Beside Audacious notices of new books relating to China and Bayan the East, which will be a useful feature of Egeria the Review, if carried out with punctuality Flamer and detail, we are glad to notice that Frolic "Notes" and "Queries" are destined to Lily And a place in its pages also. It is to be Ling feng hoped that this opening for contributions Meeanes on Chinese subjects may evoke a similar Mosquito degree of literary zoal to that. which was Thistle displayed during the lifetime of its prede Victor Emanuel cessor in the field, and that the China Review Vigilant may receive the support necessary to insure Vsadnick its continuance. The publication is intend ed to appear every two months, and will form a substantial octavo magazine.
