given to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury
from time to time, by warrant under their hands to alter
and fix any of the rates of British postage or inland postage
payable by law on the transmission by the post of foreign
or colonial letters or newspapers, or of any other printed
papers, and to subject the same to rates of postage accord-
ing to the weight thereof and a scale of weight to be con-
tained in such warrant, and from time to time, by warrant
as aforesaid, to alter or repeal any such altered rates, and
to make and establish any new or other rates in lieu
thereof.
And whereas further powers are given to the Commis-
sioners of her Majesty's Treasury by another act, passed
in the eleventh year of the reign of her present Majesty,

of postage thereon, and for other purposes relating to the
post-office."
And whereas certain powers are also given to the Com-
missioners of her Majesty's Treasury by another act,

by post of printed periodical publications."

year of the reign of her present Majesty, and by divers
warrants, under the hands of the Commissioners of her Ma-
jesty's Treasury, certain rates of British postage have been
established and made payable on the transmission by the
post of certain British, colonial, and foreign newspapers
therein respectively mentioned.
And whereas it is expedient that such additional rates of
postage should be charged on certain British, colonial, and
foreign newspapers sent by the post as are hereinafter men-
tioned :

boat, via Egypt, without passing through the United King-
don, there shall be charged and paid, in addition to any
other postage now payable thereon, a further and addi-
tional rate of British postage of one penny, and in all cases
in which such respective newspapers are liable, on the trans-
mission thereof by such respective routes, to progressive
rates of postage, according to the scale of weight con-
tained in any such warrants as aforesaid, the additional
rate of one penny payable under this present warrant shall
be calculated and paid in respect of each such progressive
rate.
2. Every printed. supplement or additional sheet to any
newspaper shall, for the purpose of charging the postage
under this Warrant, be deemed a distinct newspaper, unless
sent in the same cover or together with the newspaper to
which it is a supplement or addition, and every printed news-
paper transmitted by the post under this present Warrant
shall be so transmitted in conformity with and under and
subject to the several regulations, orders, directions, and

sioners of her Majesty's Treasury, bearing date the 19th
day of February, 1855, relating to redirected rates of postage

mitted to or from the United Kingdom via Marseilles,

mitted by the post, under the provisions of the said War-
rant of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, bear-
ing date the 16th day of February, 1859, and amended by, a

jesty's Treasury, bearing date the 10th day of March, 1859,

Nos. 1,2, and 3of this present Warrant, shall include all
all publications admitted to the privileges of a newspaper
under the provisions of the said recited Act passed in the
18th year of reign of her present Majesty, and the several
other terms and expressions used in this Warrant shall be
construed to have the like meaning in all respects as they
would have had if inserted in the said recited Act passed in
the fourth year of the reign of her present Mai,tsty.

jesty's Treasury may, by Warrant under their hands duly
made, at any time hereafter alter, repeal, or revoke any of

lations, conditions, or restrictions hereby made, and may
