To provide the greatest possible facilities for posting Correspondence for Europe da, up to the latest moment before, the departure of the French Packets, arrange ments have been made for receiving at the Post Office late letters except those to and through Australia from 11.16 .. to 11.30 .M. Each letter must bear a late fee of 18 cents extra postaga ju
The above arrangement is intended to moet occasional emergencies, and not for the regular posting of extensive correspon- dence. Should it be found, therefore, that large and unmanageable numbers of letters are habitually thrown upon the Department at the last moment, a heavier late fee will be imposed.
4 almallar supplementary Mail will be made up for Bhanghal by the English and French Contract Steamers, the late letters being received from 10 minutes after, up to half an hour after the time of closing. The late fee will also be IB cents.

The practice of sealing letters paseing to and from the East and West/Indies, and other countries with hot olimates, with wax (except such as is spatially prepared), is sttended 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 war 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 conn- trles referred to, to do the same.
