Letters directed to the care of the packet agent at Suez, and despatched by the Indian mails _viâ Marseilles_, which always leaves after the mails _viâ Southampton_, will most probably there reach passengers for India, &c. who may have previously sailed in the Southampton packets. NEWSPAPER POSTS. (_a_) It is not compulsory to send newspapers through the post. (_b_) The rate for newspapers stamped with the _impressed_ stamp is one penny for two sheets, three-halfpence for three sheets, and twopence for four sheets, of printed matter. (_c_) No newspaper, or other publication, can pass through the post, unless the impressed stamp be of the value of at least one penny. (_d_) The title and date of every publication so passing must be printed at the top of every page. (_e_) The impressed stamp (or stamps, if more than one publication be sent under one cover) must be distinctly visible on the outside. When a newspaper is folded so as not to expose the stamp, a fine of one penny is made in addition to the proper postage of the paper. (_f_) The publication must not be printed on pasteboard or cardboard, but on ordinary paper, nor must it be enclosed in a cover of either material. (_g_) Newspapers bearing the impressed stamp cannot circulate through the post after they are _fifteen days old_. (_h_) They must not contain any enclosure, and must either have no cover at all, or one which shall be open at both ends. They must have no writing either inside or outside, except the name of the persons to whom they are sent, the printed title of the publications, and the printed names of the publishers or agents sending them. If one of these newspapers be addressed to a second person, the address in the first instance still remaining, it is regarded as an infringement of the above rule, and renders the paper liable to be charged as an unpaid letter. (_i_) In order that newspapers may be sent abroad, the publishers must first have had them registered at the General Post-Office. (_j_) Newspapers intended for transmission to our colonies or foreign countries must, in all cases, be prepaid _with postage-stamps_, the impressed stamp here, in all respects, standing for nothing. Though this is the case, all newspapers sent abroad are liable to the same regulations as English newspapers bearing impressed stamps. (_k_) It must be borne in mind, that the arrangements for inland newspapers forwarded under the book-post regulations, and paid with the ordinary postage-stamp, are entirely distinct from the above. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. (_a_) Printed proceedings of the British Parliament are forwarded through the Post-Office at a special rate, and possess privileges in their transmission not belonging to either the newspaper- or book-postage. Parliamentary proceedings, however, may pass through the post at either the special rate, the newspaper rate, or book-post rate, always provided that the conditions of the particular rate chosen be complied with.
