NOTE .- The mode of computing the rates upon inland letters -i. e. letters from one office within the United States or Terri- tories to another, and also upon letters between the United States and the British North American Provinces-is as follows, to wit : Single rate, if not exceeding half an ounce ; double rate, if exceeding half an ounce, but not exceeding an ounce ; treble rate, it exceeding an ounce, but not exceeding an ounce and a half; and so on, charging an additional rate for every additional half ounce or fraction of half an ounce.
The mode of computing rates upon letters to Great Britain, and to all other foreign countries, the British North American Provinces excepted, will remain as at present, under the act of 3d March, 1849, and agreeably to instructions appended to the table of foreign postages.
DIRECTIONS.
1st .- Every letter or parcel, not exceeding half an ounce in weight, shall be deemed a single letter or rate.
2d .- All drop-letters, or letters placed in any post office, not for transmission, but for delivery only, shall be charged with postage at the rate of one cent each.
3d .- Each deputy postmaster, whose compensation for the last preceding fiscal year did not exceed $200, may send through
the mail all letters written by himself, and receive through the mail all written communications addressed to himself on his private business, which shall not exceed in weight one half ounce, free of postage. This does not authorize them to frank any letters unless written by themselves, and on their private business only, nor does it authorize them to re- coive free of posage anything but written communications addressed to themselves, and on their private business

DIRECTIONS.
1st .- The weight of newspapers, periodicals, and other printed matter, must be taken or determined when they are in a dry state ; and when the weight of any book or other publication exceeds one pound, the same progressive rates, above laid down, must be charged for the excess.
2d .- Newspapers, periodicals, magazines, or any other printed paper or matter, must be sent without any covers or wrappers, or in covers or wrappers open at the ends or sides, so that the character of the matter contained therein may be determined without removing such wrappers.
3d .- In case there is on or in any newspaper, periodi- cal, pamphlet, or other printed matter or paper con- nected therewith, any manuscript of any kind by which information shall be asked for or communicated in writing, or by marks or signs, (except the bills and receipts of publishers, as provided by law,) or the directions herein prescribed are in any other respect not complied with, the same becomes subject to letter postage; and it is the duty of the postmaster to remove the wrappers or envelopes from all printed matter not charged with letter postage, for the purpose of ascer- taining whether there is upon or connected with such printed matter, or in such package, any matter or thing which would authorize or require the charge of a higher rate of postage thereon.
It will be observed that except in respect to books, the postage on all printed matter to California and Ore- gon, is the same as to any other part of the U. States.
* Each newspaper or periodical, not exceeding one ounce and a half in weight, when circulated in the State where published, is subject to a postage of one half cent only.
1 Small newspapers, &c., when sent in packets of less than eight ounces, or to more than one address, must be rated singly.

1st .- When the weight of any publication exceeds eight ounces, the same progressive rate of postage laid down in the above table must be charged.
2d .- Publishers of newspapers and periodicals may send to each other, from their respective offices of publication, free of postage, one copy of each publication ; and may also send to each actual subscriber, enclosed in their publications, bills and receipts for the same. free of postage.
3d .- By a joint Resolution of Congress, the Congressional Globe and Appendix may also be sent free through the mails so long as the same may be published by order of Congress.
4th .- Postmasters are not entitled to receive newspapers free of postage under their franking privilege.
5th .- If the publisher of any newspaper or periodical, after being three months previously notified that his publication is not taken out of the office to which it is sent for delivery, continue to forward such publication in the mail, the postmaster to whose office such publication is sent will dispose of the same for the postage, unless the publisher shall pay it ; and whenever any printed matter of any description, received during one quarter of the fiscal year, shall have remained in the office without being called for during the whole of any succeeding quarter, the postmaster at such office will sell the same, and credit the proceeds of such sale in his quarterly accounts, in the usual manner.
6th -Quarterly payments in advance, may be made either at the mail. ing office or the office of delivery. When made at such mailing office, at
the commencement of a year or of a quarter, (as he may elect,) the publisher must prepare and hand to the postmaster ready for signature, a receipt for each post office to which the papers are to be sent for delivery-stating the number of papers to be sent to such post office, and the amount of postage to be paid thereon; also, giving the names of each of the subscribers. Upon the payment of the postage, the receipts must be signed by the postmaster at the mailing office. The publisher will then direct such receipts to the post- masters at the offices of delivery, and they will be received there as evidence that the postage has been duly paid. To entitle them to pass free through the mails, such receipts must be left unsealed, endorsed " Post Office Business," and directed to the postmaster at the office of delivery. The postmasters to whom such receipts have been sent, will be thereby authorized to deliver the papers mentioned in such receipts to the subscribers therein named without further charge for postage.
When periodicals are printed not oftener than once a quarter, and are sent from the office of publication to actual subscribers, the amount of postage being marked thereon as prepaid, at the mailing office, and the name of that office with the date of mailing being written or stamped thereon, will be sufficient evidence to warrant their delivery without further charge : Such periodicals may be prepaid by stamps.
