PARCELS.-The public is reminded that, there is no such thing as Parcel Post to Europe, &c. Much trouble and diasp- pointment is caused by persistent attempts to aond small valuable trifles through the Post. Fans, Curios, Articles of Dress Fancy Work, and similar presents are con- tinually being refused, the senders having often spent more in Postage than would have paid, the freight by s'eamer. refund can be made on such parcels of the value of Stamps obliterated before the nature of the contents was discovered.
PATTERNS.Some difficulty is experienced in obtaining a general understanding of futode which the sender has for sale, or what is a Fattern. It is a bona fide sample of goods which he wishes to order. It is to consist of the smallest possible quantity compatible with chewing what the goods ar, and must have no intrinsic value.
To provide means 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 purchase Hongkong Fastage Stamps from in future be allowed (but not required) to
foreign residents.

An impression appears to prevail that correspondence for the Mediterranean sta- tions, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, the Levaut, Turkey, &c., can be forwarded only by British Facket. 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 inconvenieres which may arise from the non-delivery, mis-sending, or mis-delivery of any letter, book, or other posal packet (even if the packet be re- gistered), nor is the Post Office responsible for any injury whith 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 Past. It should be remembered
that every packet bas to be handlod 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 transferred by means of the railway apparatus, the risk of injury
is much increased.
letters which pass through a Post Office No information can be given respecting 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
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.
1. Small Parcels may be sent by Post between any of the British Post Offices in China or Japan, as well as to Macao, Pakis hoi, Singapore, Penang, and Malacca. They must not exceed the following dimen sions, 2 feet long, 1 foot broad, 1 foot deep, nor weich more than 5lbs. The postage will be 20 cents per lb., which will include Registration. The parcela may be wholly closed if they bear this special endorse- ment, PARCEL, CONTAINING NO LEFTRE, but any parcel may be opened by direction of the Postmuster General.
2. The following cannot be transmitted: Parcels insufficiently packed or protected, or liable to be crushed (as bandboxes, &c.) Glass, Liquids, Explosive substances, Matches, Indigo, Dyestuffs, Ios, Meat, Fish, Game, Fruit, Vegetables, or whatever is dangerous to the Mails, or likely to be come offensive or injurious in transit.
8. Parcels will as a general rule be for warded by Provate Ship, not by Contract Mail Packet. The Post Office reserves the right of selecting the opportunity for trane. mission, and of delaying delivory in case the number of parcels is such as to retard other correspondence. No responsibility
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 if their duty be not thereby impeded.

Any publication fulfilling the conditions reafter named can pass as a newspaper. The conditions are as follows -
1st. The publication must consist wholly in great part of political or other news, of articles relating thereto, or to other mrrent topics, with or without advertise
2nd. It must be published in numbers at atervals of not more than 81 days, and amas be printed on a sheet or shests une
PATTERNS.
They must not be of intrinsic value. This
rule excludes all articles of a ́aaleable nature, and indeed hatever 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 considered sa having on this ground an intrinsic value.
Pattern and Sample Post to colonies and foreign countries is restricted to bond fide trads patterns or samples of merchandise. Goode sent for sale, or in execution of an order (however small the quantity may be), or any articles rent by one private indivi- dual to another, which are not actual pat terns 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, -way be posted enclosed in boxes, or bags of linen or other material, fastened in auch a manner that they may be readily opened: or, in the case of seeds do, in bags entirely alused, provided such closad bags are trans parent, so as to enable the Officers of the Post Office readily to satisfy themselves as to the nature of the contents,
There must be no writing or printing upon or in any packet except the address of the person for whom it is intended, the ad- dress of the sender, a trade mark or num ber, and the price of the articles.
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 is specially prepared), is attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious injury, not only to
senders against any but a very remote pro-adhesion of the letters to each other. The bability of loss.
public are therefore recommended, in all and cases, to use either waters or gum, and to advise their corresponden:s it, the coun tries referred to, to do the same.
4. The public are cautioned not to con- found these facilities with a Parcel Post to Europe, &c, which does not exist.
Mails exchanged with Manila and Saigon.. The Philippine Islanda being now admit- ted into the General Postal Union, it fol- lows that all paid correspondence received free by this &fice, and that all paid cor- from Manila in the mails will be delivered respondence sent to Manila in the mails should be delivered free there,
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 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 notion of the proper authorities, in either Colony,
The above does not apply in any to loose letters sent outside the mails. These will always be charged on arrival in Hongkong and probably the Manila Office will adopt the same course.
extra charges on correspondence exchanged Complaints are sometimes received of between this Colony and Saigon, but it is believed it would be found in all cases that the letters, de., bad been sent loose.
Any Foreign stamps on loose corro- spondence are obliterated in this Office.
Indian Correspondence.' Unpaid Letters are not received for the Indian Mail Packets,
The Pre-payment of correspondence for the Straits, india, Ceylon, and Aden is compulsory by whatever opportunity it is forwarded.
Registration to Bangkok.
Ber Britannic Majesty's Consul General for Siam has been good enough to make arrangements by means of which correspon dence can be Registered to Bangkok, at the usual charge of 8 cents.
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 packet in a very rare occurrence. Neverthe coures; and thus the loss of a registered less large sums of money or other articles of great value should not be sent through the post, even if the packet be registered; the machinery of the Department is not arranged with a view to such transmission. By law, the Post Ulfice is not responsible for the safe delivery of registered packets; though any officer who may neglect his duty on this point will be called to strict account. Sout in unregistered letter, valu- able articles are exposed to risk, and offer a temptation which ought not to be created į and the Department, cannot in any way undertake the safe conveyance of such packets.
3.-Many Money Orders are supplied to residents at the smaller Ports in this way.
