A Letter, weighing more than 1-1/2 ounces, and not exceeding 2 ounces, will be liable to 1 s. Postage. A Letter, weighing more than 2 ounces, and not exceeding 2-1/2 ounces, will be liable to 1 s., 3 d. Postage, and so on. It will be observed that the above scale differs from that now followed, in advancing one rate for each half-ounce after the first ounce. 2. The single Packet rate for Letters by the Atlantic Steam Packet Mails to and from England, viâ the United States, of 1s. 2d. sterling, if _un-paid_, and 1s. 4d. currency if _pre-paid_, as also the rate on Letters by those mails, viâ Halifax, of 1s. [missing value] sterling, if _un-paid_, and 1s. 1-1/2 d. currency, if _pre-paid_, remain unaltered, and the present scale of weights is to remain in force as regards such Letters. Post Masters must be very careful to observe this distinction when taxing Letters, weighing over one ounce, intended for the English Mails. 3. The regulations now in force with regard to Letters to and from Soldiers and Sailors in Her Majesty's Service, by which under certain conditions such Letters pass through the Post on pre-payment of a penny only, will remain unaltered. * * * * * 5.

The charge on Letters posted at an Office for delivery in the same City, Town, or Place, and any additional charge made on Letters delivered at the residences of parties to whom they are addressed, are to remain as at present, until further instructions. 10. No Franking Privilege is allowed under the New Act except with regard to Letters and Packets on the business of the Post Office, addressed to or transmitted by the Post Master General. * * * * * 13.
