General Post-office for transmission abroad should have
a notice to that effect conspicuously printed upon it.

TRANSMISSION OF PERIODICAL PUB-
LICATIONS BY POST WITHIN THE
UNITED KINGDOM.

The following Post-office notice has been issued :
"General Post Office, June, 1855.

" On and from the 30th inst. all periodical publica-
tions, including newspapers, which shall be published in
the United Kingdom at intervals not exceeding 31 days,
and which shall bear a stamp or stamps denoting the
stamp duty, of the kind hitherto confined chiefly to news-
papers, may be transmitted and re-transmitted through
the post within the United Kingdom free from postage,
under the following regulations, viz.:—

" 1. They will be subject to the same restrictions, with
regard to the number of sheets and superficial extent, as
are now applicable to newspapers properly so called.
These restrictions are shown in the following table :
Amount of Stamps Maximum Number Maximum superfi-
impressed on the of sheets. cial extent of
Publication. Letter-press on
one side.
One penny ......... Two
Three-halfpence Three
Twopence Four 4591
"No publication, or portion thereof, will be allowed
to pass through the post unless it bear at least a stamp
of the value of one penny.
"2. The title and date of the publication must be
printed at the top of every page.
" 3. The publication must he folded in such a manner
that the whole of the stamp or stamps denoting the full
duty shall be exposed to view, and be distinctly visible
on the outside.

"4. It must not ba printed on pasteboard or card-
boar), or on two or more thcknesses of paper pasted
together, nor must any pasteboard, cardboard, or such
pasLeti paper be sent with it a 4 a back or cover thereto
or otherwise.

" 5. It must be posted within 15 days from the date
of publication.
" 6 It must either have no cover or a cover open at
the ends.
"7. It must contaln no enclosure. _ _

" 8. It must have no writing or other mark thereon,
but the name and address of th person to whom it is
sent, nor anything on the cover but such name and ad-
drers, the printed title of the publication, and printed
name and address of the publisher or vendor who
sends it.
" 9. If the publication be addressed to any person
within the free delivery of the place where it is posted,
it will be liable to a postage of one penny, which must
be prepaid by affixing a postage stamp.
" The free delivery of London, so far as applies to
this rule, extends to such places only as are within three
miles of the General Post office.
10. If any of the above regulations are disregarded,
the publication will be detained for examination till the
next wail.
" If it is found that the irregularity consists merely
in not folding the paper so as to expose the stamp or
stamps, a postage of one penny will be charged in
addition to any other postage to which the publication,
if properly folded, would have been liable; In' ease?!
