Record we CLEAN the following particulars
relating to proceedings under the new reg.
ulations; The issuing postmaster must not
undertake to decide definitely upon the
actual value in United States gold coin of a
certain sum in currency for which an inter.
national order is issued. He is ut liberty,
however, to advise the remitter as to its
approximate value, which may be found to
differ materially from the real value, as
the latter is to be computed upon the basis
of the premium upon gold on the day Of
the receipt Of the order by the postmaster
at New York. a special form Of appca.
ton is furnished to the applicant for an
international postal order payable in Great
Britain. On this form he must enter all
the particulars Of the amount, names,
address, &C., and must state the full name
and exact residence of the payee, giving
the town or village, and country. From
the items contained in such application,
the issuing postmaster will fill up tho in
tcrnational postal order and coupon, both
OF which he will, by the next outgoing
mail, dispatch, without separating them
to the postmaster at New York. The COR
responding certificate of the same number
and date he will deliver, when completed,
to the remitter, as a receipt for the amount
paid in by the litter. No "advicc" is
used at the issuing office in this iuterna-
tional system, inasmuch as the order, in.
stead of being delivered to tho rcmitter
for transmission, is forwarded directly by
the issuing postmaster to the Exchange
Office at New York. The particulars oil
the order are to be entered in the register
of international orders issued, and the an.
plication must be retained on file. The
general rules in regard to issuing domestic
orders contained in the book Of money.
order instructions are to be observed in the
issue of international postal orders, in 50
far as these rules are applicable. When
the international postal order and coupon
are received by the postmaster at New
York, the latter will stamp thereon the
date of receipt, and insert the items to be
filled in by him, viz: Premium on gold
the day of receipt in New York :" "Value
Of order in United States gold )" "Value
of order 10 sterling;" Date and number
of list in which order was certified to the
United Kingdom ;" Current number of
certified order" When the coupon has
been completed by the postmaster at New
York. he will return it to the issuing post.
master, who will place it on file with the
corresponding application for reference. in
case the remitter of the order desires in
formation as to the value thereof in gold
when received at New York, the amount
transmitted, or the date Of transmission.
The postmaster at New York retains on
the file all international orders drawn on
him by postmasters in the United States,
but forwards to the United Kingdom a
descriptive list thereof, together with cor
responding orders, payable in sterling,
made out by him in favor of the several
bcnefciaries. The exchange Office at
London in like manner transmits. by each
transatlantic mail, to the postmaster at the
exchange Office at New York, similar list
Of international orders for sums received
10 the United Kingdom for payment to
benc6ciaries in the United States. The
receiving exchange Office of New York
Immediately issues an order in favor of

States currency equivalent to that in gold

mitted to the postmaster at such office. 1t
is provided by the convention that each

state the amounts of the orders, in the de.
nominations Of the money Of the dispatch.

in the transaction of the international
money order business, the pound sterling
of Great Britain shall be considered as
equivalent in value to four dollars and
