Artiole IX of the Portal Treaty of Berne provides that "Neither the anders nor the addressces of letters and other" postal packets shall be called upon to pay, either in the Country of Origin, or in that of Destination, any tax or duty other than" the recognised rates levied (in the care of paid correspondence) by the despatching Office. It is hoped that any extra charge, or apparently extra charge, will at once be brought to the notice of the proper authorities, in either Colony,
The above does not apply in any to loose letters sent outside the mails, These will always be charged on arrival in Blongkong and probably the Manila Uffee will adopt the same course.

The Post Office is not, by law, responsible for any loss or inconvenience which may arise from the non-delivery, mis-sendlog, or mis-delivery of any letter, book, or other postal packet (even if the packet bore. gistered), nor is the Post Office responsible for any injury which a packet may sustain during Ita transmission,
To guard against such injury all postal packets which are likely to suffer from stamping or from great pressure should be placed is strung 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 the course of its transmission to be transferred by means of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury
is much increased.
No information can be given respecting letters which pass through Post Office 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 his no reason to beliers that the person whose address it is would disapprove of his doing so.
Postmastera 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, even though a request to such effect be written thereon.
J'ostmasters are not bound to give change, bor are they authorised to demind change; and when money is paid at a Post Office, whether as change or otherwise, no question ae 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 coaling letters passing to and from the East and West Indies, and other countries with hot climatee, 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 public are therefore recommended, in all such cases, to use either wafers or gum, and to advise their correspondents in the cons tries referred to, to do the same,

Indemnity for the Loss of a Registered Letter The following Regulations as to the Indemnity to be paid in certain cases on the loss of Registered correspondence have been made by His Excellency the Governor under Ordinance 10 of 1876, Section XII.
The Post Office is not legally responsible for the safe delivery of Registered corres pondence, but henceforth it will be pre- pared to make good the contents of auch correspondence fost while prasing through the Font, to the extent of $10, in certain cases, provided:
1. That the sender duly observed all the conditions of Registration require.
2. That the letter was securely enclosed In a reasonably strong envelope.
3. That application was made to the Postmaster General of Hongkong Im mediately the los was discovered, the envelope being invariably forwarded with such application unless it also is lost.
4. That the Postmaster Genoral is satis. fed that the loss occurred whilst the corres pondence was in the custody the British Postal administration in China, that it was not caused by any fault on the part of the sander, by destruction by fire, or shipwreck, nor by the diabci esty or negligence of any person not in the employment of the Hongkong Post Office.
5. No compensation can be paid for mere damage to fragile articles such as portraits, watches, handsomely bound books, &o, which reach their destination, although in a broken or deteriorated condition,
