The supplement must in every case be published with the newspaper, and must have the title and date of publication of the newspaper printed at the top of every page; or, if it consists of engravings, prints, or lithographs, at the top of every sheet or side.

Every newspaper must be posted either without a cover (in which case it must not be fastened, whether by means of gum, wafer, sealing wax, rostage stamp, or otherwise) or in a cover entirely open at both ends, so as to admit of easy removal for examination.

To guard against such injury all postal packets which are likely to suffer from atamping or from great pressure should be placed in strong corers; and oven 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 in much increased.

No information can be given respecting letters which pass through a 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 Fostmaster may, however, give an address if he has no reason to baliove that the person whose address it is would disapprove of his doing so.

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 lettern 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 war (except such as le 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 soun- tries referred to, to do the ante.

The registration of a pasket makes its transmission much more iscure, inasmuck as, under ordinary circumstances, a regie tered packet san be traced through its whole course and thus the loss of a registered packet is a very rate occurrence. Neverther less large sums of money or other articles of great value should not be rent through the post, even if the packet be registered as the machinery of the Department is not arranged with a view to such transmission. By law, the Post Office is not responsible for the safe delivery of registered packets i though any officer who may neglect his duty on this point will be called to striet account. Sent in tnregistered letters, valu able articles are exposed to risk, and offer a temptation which ought not to be created; and the Department cannot in any way undertake the safe conveyance of such packets. All inland or colonial letters, therefore, which contain coin, and all inland letters which contain watches of jewellery, even though they be posted without registration, are treated as register ad, and charged on delivery with a double registration fee of eightpence in addition to the ordinary postage, and any such letters which cannot be registered in time to be forwarded by the Mail for which they are posted are detained for the next despatch. Even if the letter do not contain any article of intrinsic value, it should, if it be very Important, be registered,
