The omission of the Jafter precaution leaves à doubt as to whether the contents of the box ever reached the Post Office: the omission of the former, as to whether part of them might not have been abstracted for the sake of the Postage Stamps.

cents per half ounce as usual. The Post Office then undertakes the duty of obtaining notice of depar ture and despatching the correspondence. It is requested that the letters be posted if possible at least one day before the date üixed for sailing.
TEA MUSTERS.
Persons who send Musters of Tea through the Post in Tins are requested to have them made flat or square instead of round, as it is impossible to pack round tins securely in the mail bags. It is believed that the tea will travel more safely in flat tins, which are not so liable as round ones to bo bulged in. 4 by 3 by 14 inches is suggested as a good size. The tins should not have sharp
comers.
