As our readers are probably aware, it is the practice of the troops of the Garrison to make regular romittances to their people at home through the Post Office. Since the bank note became negotiable at a premium in
Hongkong we understand that it has become a common practics among the Indian troops to draw their pay in bank notes and forthwith convert them at the nearest money changer's into silver dollars $36.80 wherewith to buy their money orders at the Post Office. By this little financial -$39.00

ment. Still, the action of the Post Offico in refusing any longer to accept silver dollars is, we should think, of doubtful validity. It is true that the Banks also refuse to accept more than nine silver dollars at any one time from customers paying money into their accounts; but this does not warrant a Government revenue department in refusing to accept the legal tender of the Colony. The whole situation is almost as incredible as it is unsatisfactory, and it is high time that some steps were taken by the Government to put the currency of the Colony on a more satisfactory and a more stable basis,
