PATTIENE,
They must not be of intrinsic value. This rule excludes all articles of a saleable nature, and indeed whatever may have a value of its own, apart from its more use as a pattern; and the quantity of any material sent ostensibly as a pattern must not be so great that it can fairly be con sidered as having on this ground an intrin- sic value,
Pattern and Sample Post to colonies and foreign countries is restricted to bond fic trade patterns or samples of merchandise. Goods sent for sale, or in execution of an order (however small the quantity may be), or any articles sent by one private indivi. dual to another, which are not actual patterns or samples, are not admissible,
Patterns or samples, when practicable, must be sent in covers open at the ends, and in such a manner as to be easy of examination, Samples of seeds, drugs, and such like articles, which cannot be sent in covers of this kind, but such articles only, may be posted enclosed in boxes, or bage of linen or other material, fastened in such a manner that they may bo readily opened or, in the case of seeds, &o, la bage entirely colored, provided such closed bago are transparent, so as to euable the Officers of the Post Office readily to satisfy themselves as to the nature of the cok texts,
There must be no writing or printing upon or in any packet except the address of the person for whom it is intended, the address of the sender, a trade mark or number, and the price of the articles.

The Post Office is not, by law, responsible for any loss or inconvenience which may arise from the non-delivery, mis-nonding, or mis-delivery of any letter, book, or other postal packet (ovex if the packet be re-purchasing if his public funds in hand are gistered) nor is the Post Office responsible not sufficient, and he will refuse to purchase for any injury which a packet may sustain any case which appears doubtful or He is allowed to charge a auspicious. during its transmission.
Commission of one per cent on all Stamps purchased.
To guard against suck injury all postal packets which are likely to suffer from stamping or from great presence should be placed in strong cavera; 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 timea; 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 mean of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury is 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 Postmaster may, however, give an address if he has no reason to believe that the person whose address it is would disapprove of his doing so,
Postmasters 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 ita destination according to the address, even though a request to such effect bé written thereon.
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 lettera or other packets for the public, but they may do so if their duty be not thereby

The Post Office reserves the right of selecting the opportunity for trans- mission, and of delaying delivery in case the number of parcela is such as to retard other correspondence. No responsibility to accepted with regard to any parcel, but the system of Registration will secure the Benders against any but a very remote pro- bability of loss,

Article IX of the Postal Treaty of Berne provides that "Neither the senders nor the
addressees of letters and other postal packets shall be called upon to pay, either in the Country of Origin, or in that of the recognised rates levied (in the case of Destination, any tax or duty other than" 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 practice of sealing letters passing to and from the East and West Indies, and other countries with hot climates, with wax (except such as in specially prepared), is attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious injury, not only to the latters 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 coun- tries referred to, to do the same,
