,N NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
GENERAL POST-OFFICE, AUGUST, 1840.
.I{)e practice of Sealing Letters passing to and from the
East and West Indies, and other warm Climates, with Wax, is
attended with much inconvenience, and frequently with serious
Injury to the Letters, in consequence of the Melting of the
ax, and Adhesion of the Letters to each other.
In the case of a Mail recently received from India, consider-
able delay was occasioned at this Office, and notwithstanding
ne greatest care was taken iii separating the Letters, which
"ing, to the cause already mentioned, adhered closely together,
many were much damaged and torn; the Public are therefore
recommended in all possible cases to use Wafers in preference
12 Wax, in sealing- their Letters sent to India or other warm
Climates,, and also to advise their Correspondents in those
Countries to pursue the same course.
Postmasters are also enjoined to give every publicity to this
caution.

By command,
W. L. MABERLY, Secretary.

N-OTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
GENERALAPOST-OFrICE, AUGUST 1840.
IcAs the Regulation laid down in the Notice of last month,
t?. 6, appears not to be distinctly understood and acted upon,
is necessary again to remind the public and all Postmasters,
, eb-Postmasters, and Letter Receivers, that letters addressed
,Lfe.British North America or the United States, not plainly
t ritten on to go "by private ship, must be considered as in-
,e,eded to be forwarded by the Contract Steam Packets from
Aolivierpool to Halifax and Boston, and the Packet Postage of
e Shilling must be charged or taken accordingly.
A Very common practice exists of writing upon Letters ad-
dressed to tho United States,

" By New York Packet,"

" Via New York,"
And " Via Liverpool," &c.
f E.many Postmasters have only taken the Ship Letter Rate
411 Ightpenee upon such Letters. It is repeated, therefore,
he "ery Letter to North America NOT INTENDED t• go by
_ e Liverpool, Halifax, and Boston Contract Steam Packets
must be distinguished by the words,
Abd "By Ship ' or, "By Private Ship."
ny Postmaster, after this notice, receiving Letters not
ulstin,uished at less than the Packet Rate of One Shilling,
er half an ounce weight, an so o, will be surcharged and
.4r4Pelled to snake good the diffedrence.n
By command,
W. L. MABERLY, Secretary.

"• Few men connected with the complicated departments of
surgery are deserving of more grateful mention than Mr. Van
Bluebell, whose unwearied dedication to the cure of those most
painful of all diseases, which this book treats of, has resulted in
a continued course of success in cases of the most hopeless and
forbidding nature. * * We find nearly every page re-
cording some astonishing cure in patients whose sufferings
had been of many years' duration, and most excruciating in
their nature. The warmth of expression with which the gra-
titude of some of the restored is couched must be truly gratify-
ing to the feelings, and highly creditable to the skill and judg-
ment, of Mr. Van Butchell.—Weekly True Sun.
