Letters
for
nearly
all
our
remaining
British
colonies,
if
posted
unpaid,
either
wholly
or
in
part,
are,
on
delivery,
charged
sixpence
each
in
addition
to
the
ordinary
postage.
Letters
intended
to
be
sent
by
private
ship
should,
in
all
cases,
have
the
words
"By
private
ship,"
or
"By
ship,"
distinctly
written
above
the
address.
The
postage
of
letters
forwarded
by
private
ship
is
sixpence--if
the
weight
does
not
exceed
half
an
ounce--and
the
postage
must
generally
be
prepaid.
Exception
is
made
to
most
of
our
North
American
and
African
colonies,
to
which
places
prepayment
by
private
ship
is
not
compulsory.
(See
table
in
the
British
Postal
Guide.)
When
the
route
by
which
a
foreign
or
colonial
letter
is
to
go
is
not
marked
on
the
letter,
it
will
be
sent
by
the
principal
or
earliest
route.
In
some
cases,
the
postage
paid
(provided
it
be
by
stamps)
is
regarded
as
an
indication
of
the
wish
of
the
sender,
and
the
letters
are
forwarded
by
the
route
for
which
the
prepayment
is
sufficient.
Thus,
letters
for
Holland,
Denmark,
Norway,
&c.
which,
as
a
rule,
are
sent
viâ
Belgium,
are
sent
viâ
France,
if
the
prepayment
be
insufficient
for
the
former,
but
sufficient
for
the
latter
route.
North
American
and
Indian
Mails.--Letters

board
the
Cunard
mail
packets

America
touching

Queenstown,
provided
they

of
the

in
charge
of
the

on
board
such
packets,
and
be

any
part
of
the
United
Kingdom
up

the

transmission
to
America
by
the
same

are
received,
and
they
