Whereas by an Act, passed in the third and fourth
years of the reign of her present Majesty, entitled
"An Act for the Regulation of the Duties of Postage,"
power is 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, according to the
weight thereof, and a scale of weight to be contained
in such warrant • and, from time to time, by warrant
as aforesaid, to alter or repeal any such altered rates,
and make and establish any new or other rates in lieu
thereof; and, from time to time, by warrant as afore-
said, to appoint at what time the rates which may be
payable are to be paid, and it is provided that the
power thereby given should extend to any increase or
reduction or remission of postage :
And whereas, in consequence of a communication
opened with the Post-office of Belgium, it is con-
sidered expedient to alter the rates of postage payable
on letters conveyed direct by packet-boat or private
ship between that country and the United Kingdom :
Now we, the undersigned, being three of the Com-
missioners of her Majesty's Treasury, do, in exercise
of the power or authority in us for such purpose
vested in and by the said recited Act, and of all other
powers and authorities enabling us in this behalf,
direct, that on every letter not exceeding half an
ounce in weight, transmitted between any part of the
United Kingdom and any place in Belgium (con-
veyed between the United Kingthsrn and Belgium
direct by packet-boat or private ship), there shall be
charged and taken, in lieu of any rates of British
postage now payable by law on such letters, an
uniform rate of British postage of Bd.
And we direct, that it shall be optional for the
sender of any such letter as hereinbefore is mentioned,
posted in the United Kingdom, addressed to Belgium
(registered letters excepted), to allow the whole of the
postage thereof, British and foreign, to be charged to
the receiver of the letter in Belgium, or to prepay all
such postage at the time of posting the letter; but
such sender shall not have the option of paying the
British postage thereof only, and leaving the foreign
postage to be paid in Belgium.
And we direct, that on every letter not exceeding
half an ounce in weight, transmitted between an
part of the United Kingdom and her Majesty's
colonies, or foreign countries, through Belgium (con-
veyed between the United Kingdom and Belgium
direct by packet-boat or private ship), there shall be
charged and taken, in lieu of any rates of British
postage now payable by law on such letters for the
conveyance thereof between Belgium and the United
Kingdom, an uniform rate of British postage of Bd.
for such conveyance.
And we direct that the Postmaster-General may
require the British postage, and also (if he shall so
think lit) the foreign postage, from time to time
payable on the letters
,lastly hereinbefore mentioned,
to be paid on the same being put into the post-office.
And we direct that on every letter not exceeding
half an ounce in weight, transmitted by the post
between Belgium or any of her Majesty's colonies, or
any foreign country, via Belgium, and any of her
Majesty's colonies, or any foreign country, through
the United Kingdom, conveyed direct by packet,
boat, or private ship, between the United Kingdom
and Belgium, there shall be charged and taken, in
lieu of any rates of British postage now payable by
law on such letters, an uniform rate of British
postage of Bd. for the conveyance of every such letter
between Belgium and any part of the United King-
dom ; and also such a further or additional rate of
British postage for the conveyance of every such letter
between the port in the United Kingdom of the de-
parture or arrival of the packet or ship conveying the
same, and the colony or foreign country to or from
which the same shall be forwarded, as shall from time
to time be charged and payable for British postage on
letters not exceeding half an ounce in weight, posted
or delivered at the port in the United Kingdom of the
departure or arrival of the packet or ship conveying
the same, and transmitted direct between such port
and such colony or foreign country.
And we direct, that it shall be optional for the
sender of any such letter as lastly hereinbefore-men-
tioned, posted in any of her Majesty's colonies, where
posts have been or shall be established by her Ma-
jesty's Postmaster-General, addressed to Belgium
(registered letters excepted), to allow the whole of
the postage thereof, colonial, British, and foreign, to
be charged to the receiver of the letter in Belgium,
or to prepay all such postage at the time of posting
the letter; but such sender shall not have the option
of paying the colonial and British postage thereof
only, and leaving the foreign postage to be paid in
Belgium.
And we further direct, that on every letter trans-
mitted, as is mentioned in this warrant, exceeding
half an ounce in weight, there shall be charged and
taken progressive and additional rates of postage ac-
cording to the scale of weight and numbers of rates
in the said Act contained, as to letters, estimating,
and charging each additional rate at the sum which
any such letter would be charged with under this
warrant, if not exceeding half an ounce in weight.
And we further direct, that such printed news-
papers, printed prices current, printed commercial
lists, and printed courses of exchange, as are herein-
after mentioned, may be sent by the post free of
postage, or liable to postage according to the regula-
tions and rates hereinafter set forth (that is to say) :
British newspapers sent direct from the United
Kingdom to Belgium free.

liable), 2d. each.
Colonial newspapers sent from the British colonies
to the United Kingdom through Belgium, or from
the British colonies to Belgium through the United
Kingdom (in addition to any foreign postage to
which the same may be liable), Id. each.
And we further direct, that every printed supple-
ment or additional sheet to any newspaper shall, for
the purpose of charging the postage under this war-
rant,
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 we further direct that printed periodical
publications (not being newspapers, prices current,
commercial lists, or courses of exchange) published in
Belgium or the United Kingdom, and printed Par-
liamentary proceedings (but not including the pro-
ceedings of any Colonial Legislatures, nor any
periodical works published in Belgium, addressed to
foreign countries of her Majesty's colonies) may be
sent by the post direct between any part of the
United Kingdom and Belgium according to the
regulations and rates hereinafter mentioned (that is to
say) :
For every such publication or Parliamentary pro-
ceeding, not exceeding two ounces in weight, ld.
each.

And ewe further direct that the terms and expres-
sions 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 Act of the third and fourth
years of the reign of her present Majesty.
And we further direct, that this warrant shall come
into operation on the Ist day of December, 1844.
Provided lastly, and we hereby declare and direct,
that it shall be lawful for the Commissioners for the
time being of her Majesty's Treasury, or any three of
them, by warrant under their hands, at any time here-
after, to alter or repeal any of the rates hereby al-
tered, or the regulations hereby made, and to make
and establish any new or other rates or regulations in
lieu thereof, and from time to time appoint at what
time the rates that may be payable are to be paid.

AFFECTING EVENT.—We have received intelli-
gence of the almost sudden demise of Mr. William
Hetherington, a fine promising young gentleman of
eighteen years of age, son of the late W. Hetherington,
Esq., of Birkenhead, and recently appointed a second
lieutenant in the 60th Rifles. Last summer he had been
engaged in a rowing match, and, from the exertion at
the oar, his hands becoming blistered, he incautiously,
whilst in a state of perspiration, dipped them into the
cold water. Eruption and gathering ensued, causing
much pain and annoyance, and this continuing for a
considerable time, he went to London, and, it is appre-
hended, took unskilful advice, by which, though he ap-
Veared to be cured, the disease was probably thrown
into the system, by the too rapid drying up of the sores,
He returned home to his family apparently quite reco-
vered, and, after remaining a short time, resolved to re-
turn to the military college at Brussels, where he had
before studied, to make the best use of his time in profes-
sional acquirements. On his arrival there he was con-
gratulated by his former companions, to whom he was
much endeared; but alas, on Wednesday week, when he
sat down to dinner with them, he suddenly remarked
that he felt extraordinary sensations, and could eat
nothing. Being observed to be ill, and afterwards to
faint, he was immediately carried to bed, and received
every possible attention ; but, to the grief of all around
him, he expired early the following morning. We need
scarcely say that his relatives in this country are plunged
into the deepest affliction by the mournful intelligence.—

THE LATE BANK ROBBERY.—Up to a late hour
on Saturday night nothing had transpired of a certain or
tangible character, relative to this most singular robbery,
although there was a vast number of rumours in the City
and elsewhere about the matter. We are informed by
one correspondent that since John Forrester's arrival
from America with his prisoner Burgess, he has been in-
vestigating the whole affair ; and we are told by another
correspondent that an offer has been made to the house
to give up the whole of the stolen notes, &c., upon re-
ceiving a consideration of 4,0001, which terms Messrs.
Rogers and Co. indignantly refused to concede to. It is
said that a confidential clerk slept nightly in a bed with
its head against tke iron chest from which the property
was taken, so that the robbery could not have been com-
mitted during the night without his being aware of it,
which circumstance is dwelt upon by some parties,
whilst the whole of the people of London look one at
another, and ask the natural question, " How and when
was it effected ?" Before another week we have little
doubt that some light will be thrown upon this mysteri-
ous subject.— Observer.

Above two ounces, and not exceeding three ounces,
6d. each.

Above three ounces, and not exceeding four ounces,
Bd. each.

And for every additional ounce in weight above the
weight of four ounces there shall be charged and paid
an additional rate of 2d.

And every fraction of such additional ounce shall
be charged as a full ounce.
And we further direct that all such printed news-
papers, prices current, commercial lists, courses of
exchange, and periodical publications, if published
in Belgium, shall, in order to be entitled to pass
by the post at the reduced rates aforesaid, be
printed in the language of Belgium, and be posted
within Belgium ; and all such printed newspapers,
prices current, commercial lists, courses of exchange,
and periodical publications, if published in the United
Kingdom, shall, in order to be entitled to pass by the
post at the reduced rates aforesaid, be printed in the
British language, and be posted within the United
Kingdom ; and all such prices current, commercial
lists, and courses of exchange (whether publishfd in
Belgium or the United Kingdom) shall, in addition
to the name and address of the person to whom the
same shall be sent, contain only the particulars and
prices of the goods or other articles to which the same
shall refer, and shall not contain the name or address
of the vendor, or of the person forwarding the same ;
and all such Parliamentary proceedings shall be
posted in the United Kingdom, and all such
printed newspapers, prices current, commercial lists,
courses of exchange, periodical publications, and
Parliamentary proceedings shall be forwarded
without covers, or in covers open at the sides,
and there shall be no words or communication
printed OR the paper after its publioation, or upon
the cover thereof, nor any writing or marks upon
it, or upon the cover of it, except the name and ad-
dress of the person to whom sent, nor shall any
paper or thing be inclosed in or with the same ; and if
any such newspapers, prices current, commercial lists,
courses of exchange, periodical publications, and Par-
liamentary proceedings shall not be printed, posted,
and forwarded in conformity with this warrant, the

In a case which came before Mr. Henry, at La.u.•beth-
street Police-court, in which Mr. N., an old and respect-
able licensed victualler, was concerned, some facts trans-
pired with respect to the enormous and illegal fees
charged on the transfer of licenses, of the greatest im-
portance to the trade generally. In the course of hie
-
inquiry as to what appered at first an irregularity in the.
transfer of the license, Mr. Henry elicited from Mr. N.
that a fee of lee. had been demanded and received by
Mte Reynolds, the High Constable for the Tower Ham-
lets division, on his taking home the license as trans-
ferred by the reeeietrates in Petty Sessions. Mr. Henry,
considering this most rsorbitant, referred to the Licens-
ing Act, the 9th of George the Fourth, which, by the
fifteenth clause, enacts—" That it shall he lawftil for
the clerk of the justice to demand and receive from
every person to whom a license shall be granted under
this Act, for the trouble of such clerk, and for all ez-
penses contracted therewith, the snm following, and nee
more. For serving notices, and for all other services
hereby required for such petty constable or other peace-
' officer, the sum of one shilling ; for the clerk of the
justices for the licenses, five shillings ; and for preparing
the precept to be delivered to the high constable, and
notices to be delivered by the petty constable, as re-
wired by this Act, the sum of one shilling and sixpence;
and every such clerk who shall demand or receive from.
any person for such respective fees on this behalf any
greater sum, or anything of greater value than the sum
heretofore specified, being in the whole the sum of seven
shillings and sixpence, shall on every such offence, on
conviction before a justice, forfeit and pay the sum of
five pounds." After reading the above clause Mr.
Henry remarked that it was quite clear that Mr. N. had
been charged double the amount allowed by the Act.
Mr. N. replied that he had been cognisant of the fact,
and said that he had made am application to Mr. Smith,
one of the licensing clerks, on the subject, and that gen-
tlemen at once acknowledged that he had been imposed
on, and recommended him to communicate with Mr
Reynolds, the high-constable, who, he had no doubt,
would return the overcharge. He (Mr. N.) did com-
municate with Mr. Reynolds on the subject, and the re-
sult was that that person called and returned half a
crown only, saying he was justified in charging the other
five shillings for kis own trouble in serving notices.
Mr. henry remarked that it was quite clear he pos-
sessed no such power, as the law did not salvation the
receipt of a farthing beyond the 7s. 6d. ; and he (Mr.
Henry) was quite prepared to receive the complaint of
Mr. N. against the party for the overcharge, and who,
on conviction, would be liable to a penalty of 51.
Mr. N. replied, that as some time had elapsed since
this overcharge, he should respectfully decline proceed-
ing in the matter, but wished at the same time to say
that lie had made up his mind that, should such a thing
occur again, to adopt immediate proceedings against the
high-constable, Reynolds, or any other person who
charged more than the fees sanctioned by law.
Mr. Henry observed that he had not the power to
compel Mr. N. to proceed in the matter• if he did not
think proper; but in a district like the 'rower Hamlets,
where transfers were constantly taking place, the subject
was one of considerable importance to licensed victual-
lers, and the excess of fees enormous.
Mr. N. admitted that such was the fact; but for the
reason he had before stated he would leave the correc-
tion of the fraud, for such he must call it, to other
hands; and then retired from the court.

Mr. Henry, again adverting to the subject, observed
that he considered it one highly deserving the attention
and interference of the legal gentlemen connected with
the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, as the fees
thus illegally exacted must be very considerable, and
was a severe tax on a large body of tradesmen.
On referring to the list, it appears that there are in
the Tower Hamlets division no loss than 1,046 licensed
victuallers, and from each of those Mr. Reynolds de-
mands and receives, at the annual licensing, a fee of
2s. 6d. beyond the clerks' 7s. 6d., and this, on a calcula-
tion, will be found to amount to 1301. 15s. It is also
said, that a third of the whole number of transfers an-
nually,' takes place, so that if Mr. Reynolds, as he has
been in the habit of doing, charges 7s. 6d. each upon
those transfers, this will amount to 131/. 55.; so that in
these illegal fees no less a sum than 2621. is exacted an-
nually to go into Mr. Reynolds's pocket. Such a sure,
added to the funds of that excellent Institution, the
Licensed Victuallers' School, would enable the friends
of that charity to add a dozen children to the present
number of the recipients of their bounty.

GENERAL NAPIER.

TO THE EDITOf? OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your able remarks upon the case of Mr. Carus
Wilson, in Jersey, you labour under a mistake in sup-
posing General Napier to be governor of that island.
General Napier commands in Guernsey. The difference
is in the locality; the islands are much the same as re-
gards the ignorance and obstinacy of their Courts. Some
months back, General Napier thought fit to apply for a
Queen's pardon, in behalf of a soldier under punishment
by the civil authorities ; it is needless to say his requi-
sition was at once complied with, but on the sign manual
being presented by him, the gaoler refused to liberate
the prisoner—Atidite Dii—without the authority of the
Court. Now, Sir, any one that knows William Napier
will be prepared for the fact, that notwithstanding this
refusal, the soldier was on his way to barracks its
ten minutes. The islanders declare that the Court's
" authority" or " registration" (or whatever it was) re-
quisite to make her Majesty's sign manual valid, was
only a form. Now, it seems to me to be a question,
not of forms but of fiddles, whether the Queen or the
Court are to play the first. The late business in Jersey
is a very pretty running commentary upon the treatment
her Majesty's pardon would have met with, had General
Napier sent it to the Court. But ho knew them too
well to do that, and the Queen's dignity was not to be
lowered in his keeping. The case will shortly be before
the Privy Council, and it is to be hoped that Ministers
will seriously turn their attention to these islands. They
are as fair spots as the sun ever shone upon, but the
ignorance, frivolity, and prejudice of the people, obsti-
nately clinging to the civilisation of Robert the Devil's
time, is a disgrace to the nineteenth century and the
British dominions.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

PASSENGERS' BAGGAGR.—An order issued by the
Commissioners of Customs has been posted in the bag-
gage examination floors of most of the foreign steam
wharfs on the side of the river, for the information of
passengers and the public generally, to the effect that
the officers are to remain in attendance, awaiting the
arrival of steam-vessels expected from the Continent,
until seven o'clock in the evening in the summer, and
until five o'clock in the winter ; but that, in the event of
any particular case occurring, so that the attendance of
the officers may be required to await the arrival of ves-
sels after these hours, the landing-surveyors, upon spe-
cial application being made to them, are authorised to
extend the time one hour in summer, but not later, ex-
cept upon Saturday, when those officers are empowered
to extend the time two hours in such special cases •, and
in the event of any vessel arriving after the landing-
officers have left duty, the tide-surveyors are to deliver a
necessary change of linen to such passengers as may re-
quire the same, and to retain the remainder of the bag-
gage until the following morning, the same not being a
Sunday, on which occasion it will be retained till the
