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

Anit would be extremely inconvenient to divide the mail, and no practical advantage would result from doing so, all correspond- ence intended for the United Kingdon by French Packet will be sent via Naples, even though marked via Mareuilles,
An impression appeara to prevail that correspondence for the Mediterranean sta tions, Libraltár, Malta, Cyprus, the Levant, Turkey, &, can be forwarded only by British Packet. It can be forwarded also by French Facket, and if no forwarded generally arrives a work carlier than if it had been delaïned for the British Mail,
To guard against auch injury all postal packets which are likely to suffer from stamping or from great pressure should be placed in strong covers; and even with this precaution no fragilo article should be sont 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 mail bag; and that, whenever the bag has in the course of its transmission to be transfarred by means of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury 16 much increased.
To provide means of remitting amalt sums of money to or from this Colony and between the Forts of China and Japan, the Postmasters and Agents of this Office will in future be allowed (but not required) to purchase Hongkong Postage Stamps from foreign residents.

PATTERNS.
They must not be of intrinale value. This rule excludes all articles of a saleable nature, and fadeed whatever may have a value of its own, apart from its mereuse as a pattern; and the quantity of any material sent ostensibly as a pattern must not be so great that it can fairly be considered as having on this ground an intrinsic value.
Pattern and Sample Post to colonies and foreign countries is restricted to bond fide trade patterns or samples of merchandise.
'Goods sent for sale, or in exvoution of an
order (however small the quantity, may be), or any articles sent by one private indivi. dual to another, which are not actual pat- teras or samples, are not admisalbie,
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 sovers of this kind, but aneb articles only, -may be posted enclosed in boxes, or bags of linen or other material, fastened in such manner that they may be readily opened; or, in the case of seeds &c., in bags entirely closed, provided such closed bags are trans pareut, no as to enable the Officers of the Pont Office readily to eatisfy themselves as to the nature of the contents,

Mails exchanged with Manila and Saigon.
The Philippine Islands being now admit. ted into the General Postal Union, it fol- lows that all paid correspondence received from Manila in the mails will be delivered free by this Offico, and that all paid cor- respondence sant to Manila in the mails
should be delivered free thoro.
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 gender, 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 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 letters or other packets for the public, but they may do so 11 their duty ho not thereby impeded.
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 letters so sealed but to the other lettere 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 gas, and to advise their correspondents in the coun- tries referred to, to do the same.
