Many boxen of letters are received at the Post Office not sealed, that is to say, the bar is fastened with saling wax, but there le no im pression of a seol.

The attention of bozholdora is called to the necessity of carefully sealing auch boxes with some recognisable seal, and cf sending a Obit book or rero pt with them. The omiasion of the latter precaution leaves a doubt as to wên• ther the contents of the box ever reached the Post Office; the omission of the former, de to whatbor part of them might not have been ab- stracted for the sake of the Postage Stampa.

The rates of postage chargeable on Letters addremed to the United Kingdom, and to places beyond the United Kingdom, when formaled by Franch Picket, are the same as those bargeable on Letters forwardca by Britiuk Packet via Brindisi.
