CORRECTION

Our attention has been drawn to a slight error which appeared in our interview with the Postmaster General in yesterday's issue. It was stated that a penny is reckoned to be equal to 30 gold centimes and that, as near as makes no difference, is 30 cents Hongkong money.

We are informed that a penny ja reckoned by the London Post Office to equal 10 gold centimes

that it

there is a deficiency of a 11⁄2d on & letter this doubled equals 30 gold renumes and that, as near as makes no difference, is 30 cents Hongkong money.

It should also be explained that no letters of any kind should be en closed in a parcel, a Christmas card containing no more than four words may, however, be enclosed.
