2. Invitations, de, can generally be delivered within Victoria at the private houses of the addressees rather than at places of business, if a wish to that effect be expressed by the sender, otherwise all correspondence is invariably delivered at the nearest place of business. (See Fontal Guide, par. 108.)
3. Boxholders who desire to gond Circu-

Local Parcel Pust
1. Small Parcels may be sent by 'Post between any of the British Post Offices in China or Japan, as well as to Macao, Pak- hoi, Singapore, Penang, and Malacca. They must not exceed the following dimen. sions, 2 feet long, 1 foot broad, 1 foot deep, nor weigh more than 5lbs. The postage will be 20 cauta per lb., which will include Registration. The parcels may be wholly closed if they bear this special endorse- ment, PARUEL, CONTAINING NO LETTER, but any parcel may be opened by direction of the Postmaster General.
2. The following cannot be transmitted: Parcels insufficiently packed or protested, or liable to be oruzned (as bandboxes, o.) (lass, Liquids, Explosivo gubatal ces, Matcher, Indigo, Dyestuffe, fer, Meat, Fish, Game, Fruit, Vegetables, or whatever is dangerous to the Mails, or likely to be. come offensive or injurious in transis.
8. Parcels will as a general rule be for- warded by Private Sbig, not by Contract Mail Packet. The Post Office reserves the right of selecting the opportunity for trans- mission, and of delaging delivery in case the number of parcels is such as to retard other correspondence. No responsibility is accapted with regard to any parcel, but the system of Registration will secure the sendere against any but a very remote pro- bability of loss.
3. If to a Soldier or Sailor, his class or description must be stated in full, with namie of Regiment, or Ship, &o., in full.
Fancy Work, and similar presents are con- the letter, and the commanding Officer must sign his name, with name of Rogi-tinually being refused, the senders having often spent more in Postage than would No bave paid the freight by scampe. ment, or Ship, &o., in full.

PATTERNS.—Some difliculty is experienced in obtaining a general understanding of what is a Fattern. It is a bond fide sample of goods which the sender has for sale, or of goods which he wishes to order. in to consist of the smallest possible quantity compatible with shewing what the goods are, and must have no intrinsic value.
Mails for the United Kingdom, de, by French Packet.
Under instructions from the London Post Office, the Maila for the United King. dom which have hitherto been forwarded via Marecilles, will henceforth be forwarded vid Naples, as it is understood, that a gain of twelve hours results from the adoption of this routo.
-de it would be extremely inconvenient to divide the mail, and no practical advantage would result from doing so, all correspond- ence intended for the United Kingdom by French Packet will be sent via Naples, oven though marked via Marseilles.
An impression appears to prevail that correspondence for the Mediterranean sta tions, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, the Levant, Turkey, de, can be forwarded only. by British Packet. It can be forwarded also by French Packet, and if ao forwarded generally arrives a week earlier than if it had been detained for the British Mail,
.
The Post Office is not, by law, responsible for any loss or inconvenience which may arise from the non-delivery, mis-sending, or mis-delivery of any letter, book, or other postal packet (even if the packet be re gistered) nor is the Post Office responsible for any injury which a packet may sustain during its transmission.
To guard against such injury all pustal packets which are likely to suffer from stamping or from great pressure should be placed in strong covers; 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 times; that it is exposed to considerabla- pressure and friction in the mail bag; and that, whenever the bag has in the coures of its transmission to be transferred by mesua of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury is much increased.
No information can be given respecting lettere 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 allowec 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 its destination according to the address, even though a request to such effect be written thereon.
Postmasters are not bound to give change, nor are they authorised to demand change; and when money is paid at a Post Offico, whether as change or otherwise, no question. an to its right amount, goodness, or weight can be entertained after it has been removed from the counter,
Postmasters are not bound to weigh say letters 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 het olimatta, with wax (except such as is specially prepared), 15 attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious injury, not only to the letters so soaled 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 touch cases, to use either wafers or gum, and to advise their correspondents in the coun- tries referred to, to do the same.
4. The public are cautioned not to con- found these facilities with a Pi cel Post Europe, &c., which does not exist.

The above does not appy in any to loosa latters sent outside the mails. These will always be charged on arrival in Hongkong and probably the Manila Uffice will adopt
the same course.
