As the Regulation laid down in the Notice of last month,
• No. 6, appears not to be distinctly understood and acted upon,
it is necessary again to remind the public and all Postmasters,
Sub-Postmasters, and Letter Receivers, that letters addressed
to British North America or the Uni•ed States, not plainly
written on to go "by private ship,' must be considered as in-
tended to be forwarded by the Contract Steam Packets from
Liverpool to Halifax and Boston, and the Packet Postage of
One Shilling must be charged or taken accordingly.
A very common practice exists of writing upon Letters ad-
dressed to the United States,
" By New York Packet,"
" Via New York,"
• " Via Liverpool," &c.
And many Postmasters have only taken the Ship Letter Rate
e! Eightpence upon such Letters. It is repeated, therefore,
that every Leak to North America NOT INTJENDED t• go by
the Liverpool, Halifax, and Boston Contract Steam Packets
blast be distinguished by the words,
" By Ship;" or, " By Private Ship."
And any. Postmaster, after this notice, receiving Letters not
So distinguished at less than the Packet Rate of One Shilling,
'ender half an ounce weight, and so on, will be surcharged and
compelled to make good the difference.
By command,
W. L. MABERLY, Secretary.

THE FREQUENT ROBBERIES OF
PLATE.

CAUTION.
It having been represented to RIPPON and BURTON that
Preral persons are vending a spurious metal as their NICKEL
SILVER BRITISH PLATE, they assure the Public that
1,1?..a Genuine Article can only be had at their Warehouses, 12,
Wells-street, Oxford-street. The Nickel Silver British Plate
Inadufactured by Rippon and Burton, is, by a chemical process,
durability; superior to any other so called, in appyarance and
it is equal to silver ; all the articles being solid and
of wrought material, they improve with use, and are war-
Punted to stand the test of that strong acid aquafortis. The
0110 wing prices are named as a criterion
