On and from the Ist of next month, the postage upon
letters conveyed, whether by packet or private ship, be-
tween the United Kingdom and the following British
colonies and possessions, viz.:

will be reduced to a combined British and colonial rate
of—

Do. exceeding A oz. and not exceeding 1 oz. ls. Od.
Do. exceeding 1 oz. and not exceeding 2 oz. 2s. Od.
and so on, increasing ls. for every additional ounce or
fraction of an ounce. The postage upon letters for Cey-
lon and Hong Kong may be paid in advance or not, at
the option of the sender ; but upon letters for the Gold
Coast or St. Helena the postage must be prepaid, or the
letters cannot be forwarded.

To the reduced rate.of 6d., a French transit rate of
sd. per quarter ounce must be added in the case of all
letters for Ceylon and Hong Kong which are not spe-
cially marked "vice Southampton," making the total
charge upon a letter—

reduction of postage applies only to letters put into the
post on or after the Ist of next month, and that all let-
ters which are put into the post before that date will be
charged with the existing rate of postage.
