PARCELS-The public is reminded that, there is no such thing as Paroe! Post to Europe, &c. Much trouble and disap pointment is caused by persistent attempts to send small valuable trifles through the Post. Fans, Curios, Articles of Dress Fancy Work, and similar presonta are con tinually being refused, the senders having often spent more in Postage than would No have paid the freight by seamer, refund can be made on such parcels of the value of Stamps obliterated before the nature of the contents was discovered,

Under instructions from the London Post Office, the Mails for the United King- dora which have hitherto been forwarded. vil Marseilles, wild henceforth be forwarded vid Naples, as it is understood that a gain of twelve hours results from the adoption of this route.
Ae it would be extremely inconvenient to alvide 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 viû Naples, even though marked via Margellios.
An impression appears to prevail that correspondence for the Mediterranean ata- Lione, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, the Levant, Turkey, cc, can be forwarded only by
British Packet. It can be forwarded also by French Packet, and if so 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 arine 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 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 fragile article should be sent through the Post. It should be remembered that every packet has to be handled deveral times; that it is exposed to considerable pressure and friction in the mail bag; and that, whenever the bag bas in the course of its transmission to be transferred by means of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury is much increased.
No information can be given respectin letters which pass through a Post Office except to the persons to whom they are addressed; and in no other way is oficial 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.
Postransters 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, ncr are they authorised to demand change; and when money is paid at a Post Office, whether as change or otherwise, no question sa 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 lotters or other packets for the public, but they may do so if their duty be not thereby impeded.
To provide moans of remitting small sums of money to or from this Colony and between the Ports of China and Japan, the Postmasters and Agents of this Office will, in futore be allowed (but not required) to purchase Hongkong Postage Stamps from foreign residents.
The practice of sealing letters passing to and from the East and West Indies, and other countries with hot climates, with was (except such as is specially prepared), la attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious injury, not only to the lotters so sealed bat 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 Buch cases, to use either wafers or gum, and to advise their correspondents in the cous tries referred to, to do the same.
Between Hongkong and Shanghai, or Hongkong and Yokohama, however, in either direction, Money-Ordere must be Tibed.
The Stamps tendered for sale must not exceed $50 in value, must be perfontly
clean, iu good condition, and in strips of at least two, as no separate Stamps will be purobased. They must be presented" per- Hopally or accompanied by a note.
The Postmaster or Agent may postpone purchasing if his public funds in hand are not sufficient, and he will refuse to purchase in any case which appears doubtfil or suspicions. Be is allowed to charge a Commission of one per cent on all Stamps purobased.
Indemnity for the Loss of a Registered Letter. The following Regulations as to the Indemnity to be paid in certain cases on the loss of Registered correspondence have, been made by His Excellency the Governor under Ordinance 10 of 1876, Section XII.
The Post Ofice is not legally reportou for the safe delivery of Registered corres- pondence, but henceforth it will be pre- pared id make good the contents of such the Poat, to the extent of $10, in certain correspondence lost while passing through
The registration of a packet makes its transmission much more secure, inasmuch 85, under ordinary circumstances, a regia- tered packet can be traced through its whole course; and thus the loss of a registered as large sums of money or other articles paoket is a very rare occurrence. Neverthe Article of the Postal Treaty of Berne of great value should not be sent through provides that "Neither the senders nor the the post, even if the packet be regletered; as addressees of letters and other postal the machinery of the Department is not packets shall be called upon to pay, either arranged with a view to such transmission, in the Country of Origin, or in that of By law, the Post Office is not responsible Destinatio, any tax or duty other than for the safe delivery of registered packets: the recognised rates levied (in the sate of though, any officer who may neglect his paid corrispondonos) by the despatching duty on this point will be called to strict or apparently extra charge, will at once be able articles are exposed to risk, and offer a Office.
