SHIP.
United States by a sailing ship which is not noti fied as carrying a mall, it is only necessary to marked post the letters in the ordinary way, with the name of the ship, and prepaid 10 cents per half ounce as usual. The Post Office then undertakes the duty of obtaining notice of depar ture and despatching the correspondence. It is requested that the letters be posted if possible at least one day before the date fixed for sailing.
When it is desired to forward letters to the
TEA MUSTERS.
Persons who send Musters of Tea through the Pest in Tins are requeried to have them made flat or square instead of round, as it is impossible to pack round tins securely in the mail bags. It is believed that the tea will travel more safely in flat tins, which are not so liable as round ones to be bulged in. 4 by 3 by 13 inches is suggested as a good size. The tins should not have sharp
comers.
