We understand that many book parcels have been
charged as lettere in consequence of disregard by the
public of the regulations of the Treasury. The
mistakes
consist chiefly of
paying the postage in money

works at Ilonfleur, Havre,
and Treport, also in the wo}rlcsaamt-t'ho. mouth of the river
at Caen. The hard, or dog bed, is considered very
durable; about 70 tons of this stone, with a few
of the white bed (which is of softer quality), h
lately been landed at Dover for the Government works,ave
under the dirt otion of Messrs. Walker and Burgess,

a further quantity of about 1,000 tons is in course of

delivery. The quarries at Allemagne do not appear to
have been worked to any extent until about the year

to have been much laminated, and of a harder texture.
A stone called colotnbella was formerly shipped in con-
siderable quantities ; it is considered very durable, and
