6. Parcels will as a general rule be for- warded by Private Ship, not by Contract Mail Facket. The Fort Office reserves the right of selecting the opportunity for trans- mission, and of delaying delivery in case the number of parcels is such as to retard other correspondence. No responsibility is accepted with regard to any parcel, but the system of Registration will secure the eenders against any but a very remote pro- bability of loss.

Article IX of the Postal Treaty of Berne provides that "Neither the aonders 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 Destination, any tax or duty other than the recognised rates levied (in the case of paid correspondence) by the despatching Office. It is hoped that any extra charge, or apparently extra charge, will at once be brought to the no ice of the proper authorities, in either Colony
Is much increased.
No Information can be given respecting lettors 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 allover to be made public, A Postmaster may, however, give an address if he has no ressou to believe that the person whose address it is would disapprove of his doing so.
Postmasters are not allowed to return any latter or other packet to the writer or sender, or to any one else, or to delay forwarding it to its destination according to the address, even though a request to auch effect be written thereon...
Postmasters are not bound togiya change, nor are they authorised to demand change; and when money is paid at a Post Office, whether se 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 letters or other packets for the public, but they may do so if their duty be not thereby impédod.
The practice of sealing letters passing to and from the East and West Indies, and other countries with hot climates, with wax (except auch as la specially prepared), is attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious injury, not only to the letters so sealed but to the other lettere in the mail, from the melting of tho 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.
The registration of a packet makes Its transmission much more secure, inasmuch as, under ordinary circumstances, a regis- tered packet can be traced through its whole course; and thus the loss of a registered packet is a very rare occurrence. Neverthe less large sums of money or other articles of great value should not be sent through the post, even if the packet be rogistored; as the machinery of the Department is not arranged with a view to such transmission, Hy law, the Post Office is not responsible for the safe delivery of registered packets; though any officer who may neglect bie duty on this point will be called to strlot account. Sent in unregistered letters, valo- able articles are exposed to risk, and offer a temptation which ought not to be oraated: and the Department cannot in any way The above does not app's in any to loosendertake the safe conveyance of such letters sent outside the mails.

Most countries to which Bongkong for wards Correspondence having joined the General Postal Union or being probably about to do so, it is necessary that the following rules be strictly observed.
1. No Letter or Packet, whether to be registered or unregistered, can be received for Postage if it contains gold or silvermoney, jewels, precious articles, or anything that, as a general rule, is liable to Customs doties.
To provide means of remitting small aams of money to or from this Colony and between the Forts of China and Japan, the Postmasters and Agents of this Office will in futuro be allowed (but not required) to purchase Hongkong Postage Stamps from foreign residents..
Between Hongkong, and Shanghai, or Hongkong and Yokohama, however, in either direction, Money-Orders must be uBod.
The Stamps tendered for sale must not exceed $50 in value, must be perfectly clean, in good condition, and in atrips of at least two, as to separate Stamps will be purobased. They must be presented per- sonally or accompanied by a nuté.
The Postmaster or Agent may postpone Purchasing if his public funds in hand are not suivient, and he will refuse to purchase in any camo which appears doubtful or suspicious. He is allowed to charge a Commission of one per cent on all Stamps purchased.
