passed here upon the transfer of the ~ Post Office to the Colony on the 10th May last. But there has been no

legislation on the subject, with the exception of making permanent provision for the Salaries of the Chief Officers of the Department which were included in the Civil List Ordinance.

No change has been made in the postage rates fixed by Treasury Warrant or any additional rates levied, and the service has been conducted in all respects in the same manner as before the transfer. I could beg~ therefore to be informed whether an Ordinance for the regulation of the postal Service here, so long as no alteration in the rates of postage is necessary; and if so I should be glad to receive Copies of the Acts which, I gather from the Newspapers, have been passed, lately in Jamaica and other West Indian Colonies which have lately assumed the control of their Post Offices, like Circular No 13 of 1860.

I have the honor to be,

My Lord Duke,
Your Grace's
Most Obedient Servant,
Wm Robinson
