TO THE EDITOR OF ING "HUNGRONG Telegraph" SIR, So Mr. Bandntann and his adherents. have absconded to Singapore without paying their just debts! Ic no doubt shrewdly guessed the Khedive. that a few days longer stay would have exposed his true character, so cleared out without saying good bye to those whom he used for his own ad- vantage and then treated so shamefully. Mr. Handmann asked me as a personal favour lo ar- range an orchestra for the performance of "Nar cisse." agreed to play for hins in company with my daughter, on the condition that he got Band-Sergeant. Pocock to assist us. I told

him that

myself and daughter would play out of compliment, but that Mr. Pocock being a professional man would require payment at the rate of five dollars per night. He told me to arrange with Mr. Pocock and I did so, and

LETTER BOXES.

Many boxes of letters are received at the Post Office not sealed, that is to say, the box is fastened with scaling wax, but there is no impression of a seal.

The attention of boxholders is called to the ACCEsity of carefully sealing such boxes with some recognisable scal, and of sending a chi book or

or receipt with them. The omission of the latter precaution leaves a 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.
