The postage on all bound books and on all
othet printed matter, except newspapers and
periodicals published at intervals not ex-
ceedng three months and sent from the Of
flee of publication to actual and bona lide
subscribers must be pre>paid.
If The amount paid and marked on such
printed matter. is not sufficient to pay the
whole postage due, the excess of weight be-
yond that paid for, is to be charged with
double the rate which would have been
charged if pre- paid and the postage on
such excess collected at the office Of delivc-
ry.
If by the neglect of n postmaster such
matter is sent without any pre-pay mcnt, the
double prepaid rate must BIZ collected on
delivery.
Postage must be charged on all letters,
newspapers and other matter, according 10
the distance OIL the roue by which they are
forwarded; and this (unless otherwise Gi-
rected bS the sender) must be the route by
which they will soonest reach their dcstina.
ton, although that may not be- the shortest
ronte.
On letters to and from Great Britain (and
the continent of Europe when sent through
England) the rates of postage and modes OF
rating will be the same AS heretofore, except
as to letters TO and from California and Or
egon, in respect to which special Instructions
will be hereafter given.
On all letters to or from the continent of
Europe. not sent through England, the Uni
taI tatn inland nnI 4. will m all
cases be combined, and will be twenty cents
the single rate, without regard to the distance
the same are carried within tho United
States. The mode Of rating will be the
same us heretofore. Full tabular state
mcnts in regard to the rates Of postage, both
foreign and inland, will soon be published.
Subscribers 10 periodicals, TO obtain the
benefit of the provision in regard to pre-
payment, must pay the full quarters postage
before the delivery OF the first number, when
there are several numbers TO be delivered
during the quarter. Ii, by reason OF any
increase in the size Of the periodical, or
otherwise, it shall appear that the whole
quarters postage was not paid in advance,
the subscriber will lose the benefit of pre-.
payment, and the numbers received during |
the whole quarter will be charged with the |
double or unpaid rate, and the subscriber |
