LONDON GOSSIP, Feclesiastical matters generally may be described further na i-a forment. The Tombstone case, donying to the Clergy the prefix of Rev., except as equally proper for ministers of all denominations, has given diro offence, and produced a host of letters to the Guardian, desiring that tho now hateful affix may never be assigned to the writers. Better be plain Mr, say thoy, than Rev., if Dissenters are to be so honoured. | They do not recognise the advantages of a charity which falleth like the rain on the just and unjust, the godly and the ungodly. They hate any inappropriate appellation, when it becomes common. Lord Penzance, as Dean of the Court of Arches, delivered on the 3rd instant a most learned and luminona judgment in the Folkestone Ritualist cose, condemning the Rev. Mr Ridedals, the defendant, in conte on all the issues, This has been the sound of alarm, the long blast which is to wake the trumpets before Jericho.

When, owing to a great and unusual influx of letters, books, do, the transmis aion or delivery of the letters would be delayed if the whole mail were dealt with without distinction, book-packets may be kept back till the next despatch or delivery.

The limit of size for a book-packet addressed to any place abroad is 24 inches in length and 12 inches in width or depth.

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

AS REGARDS FATTEENŲ,

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

sio value.

Pattern and Sample Post to colonies and foreign countries is restricted to bona fide trade patterns or samples of merchandise. Goods sent for sale, or in execution of an order (however small the quantity may be), or any articles hont, by one private indivi dual to another, which are not actual patterns or samples, are not admissible.

Patterns or samples, when practicable, must be sent in covers open at the ends, and in such a manner as to be easy of examination. But samples of seeds, drugs, and such like articles, which cannot be sent in covers of this kind, but such articles only, may be posted enclosed in boxes, or bags of linen, of other material, fastened in such a manner that they may be readily opened; or, in the case of seeds, &o., for the United States of America, Holland, and its possessions, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Portugal and its possessions, and Switzerland, iu bage entirely closed, pro- vided such closed bags are transparent, so as to enable the Officers of the Post Office readily to satisfy themselves as to the nature of the contente.

There must be no writing er printing upon or in say packet except the address of the person for whom it is intended, the address of the sender, a trade mark or number, and the price of the articles,

Such letters should either be propald in both Hongkong and American Stamps a above, or posted to an Agent in the United States.

This notice chiefly applies to the following places, the American rates of Postage to

which are as follows:-

Oz j

Honolulu Letters, 6 Cents per

Newspapers, 2 Cents; Books, 4 Cents peron.

Brazii Letters, 15 Cents perox Peru, Chili &c. Letters, 22 Ceuta per

oz.; Newspapers, 4 Cents, Books, 10 Cents per 4 oz.

Miscellaneous Notices.

The Post Office is not, by law, responsible for any loss or inconvenience which may arise from the non-delivery, mis-sending, or mis-delivery of any letter, book, or other postal pachet (even if the packet be re- gistered); nor is the Post Office responsible for any injury which a packet may sustain during its transmission.

To guard against such injury all postal packets which are likely to suffer from stamping or from great pressure should be placed in 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 mail bag; and that, whenever the bag has in the course of ita transmission to be transferred by means of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury. is much inpressed.

No information can be given respecting letters which pass through a Post ffice except to the persons to whom they are addressed and in no other way is official information of a private character allowed to be made public. A Postmaster may, however, give an address if he has no reason to believe that the person whose address it is would disapprove of his doing so.

咎

Postmasters are not allowed to return any letter or other packet to the writer or sender, or to any one else, or to delay forwarding. it to its destination according to the address, evon though a request to such effect bo written thereon.

Postmasters are not bound to give change, nor are they authorised to demand change; and when money is paid at a Post Office, whether as change or otherwise, no question as to its right amount, goodness, or weight can be entertained after it has been removed from the counter.

Postmasters 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 sealing 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 letters so sealed but to the other letters in the mail, from the melting of the wax and adhesion of the letters to each other. The publio are therefore recommended, in all such cases, to use either wafers or gum, and to advise their correspondents in the coun. tries referred to, to do the same.

Stamps, for Postal purposes, of the values of $2, $3, and $10, can be obtained at the Post Office,

THE CHINA REVIEW.

k

THE widely-expressed 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 montha, each number con- taining about.60 octavo pages, occasionally Illustrated with lithographs, photographs, woodcute, &c., should the papers published demand, and the circulation justify, such

extra matter.

[

The subscription is fixed at $6.50 postage paid, per annum, payable by non-residents In Hongkong half-yearly in advance.

The publication includes papers original And selected upon the Arts and Sciences. *Ethnology, Folklore, Geography, History, Literature, Mythology, Manners and Cun- toms, Natural History, Religion, &c., ., of China, Japan, Mongolia, Tibet, the Eastern Archipelago and the "For East generally. A more detailed list of subjects upon which, contributions are especially invited is incorporated with each number. Original contributions in Chinese, Latin, French, German, Spanish, Italian or Por- Endeavours tuguese, are admissible, are made to present a resumé in each number of the contents of the most recent works bearing on Chinese matters. Great attention is also paid to the Review department,

Notes and Replies are classified toge- ther as "Notes" (head references being given, when furnished, to provions Notes or Queries), as are also those queries which, though asking for information, furnish new or unpublished details concerning the mat- ter in hand. It is desirable to make the Queries proper as brief and as much to the point as possible.

The China Review for July and August, 1875, is at band, it says that forty-two- essays were sent in to compete for the best paper on the advantages of Christianity for the development of a State.

Is the title of a publication, the first number of which has lately reached us from Hong- kong, where it has been set on foot as in Some respects a contimation of Notes and Queries on China and Japan, the extinction of which useful serial a year or two ago has boen much regretted in Europe as well as In China. Thepresent publication, judging by the number now before us, is intended to besupy a position, as regards China and the neighbouring countries, somewhat similar to that which has been filled in India by the 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 nothing of linguistio studies, has led to the Accumulation of important stores of inform. stion, 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 ChinesD Customa corps, and the missionary body, among whom a high degree of Chinese scholarship is now assiduously cultivated, and who are severally represented in the drst number of the Review by papers highly. creditable to their respective authors. In a paper on Dr. Legge's She Aing, by the Rev. E, J. Eitel, to which the place of honour is deservedly given, an excellent Summary is presented of the chronological problems and argumente involved in con- Dexion with this important work. Some! translations from Chinose Lovels 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 Ariadno Century, Su Tung-p'o, by Mr. E. C. Bowra,

distinguished by its literary grace. Beside notices of new books relating to China and the East, which will be a useful feature of the Review, if carried out with 'punctuality and detail, we are glad to notice that "Notes" and "Queries" are destined to find a place in its pages also. It is to be hoped that this opening for contributions on Chinese subjects may evoke a similar. degree of literary goal to that which was displayed during the lifetime of its prede pessor in the field, and that the China Review Egeria

The projectors, basing their estimates pon the most reliable information from the various Ports in China and Japan,-- from Australia, California, Singapore, Penang, Saigon, and other places frequented by the Chinese,consider themselves Justified in guaranteeing an ultimate birdalation of between 8,000 and 4,000 Coples. The advantages offered to adver fibers are therefore unusually great, and the foreign community generally will find Chun Sheng It to their interest to avail themselves of them.
