THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1
General Post Office,
Auckland, 18th Nov., 1858.
THE following despatches are published for
the information and guidance of the res-
pective Postmasters throughout New Zealand
HENRY JOHN TANCRED.
General Post Office, London,
29th April, 1858.
SIR,—I am directed by the Postmaster Ge-
neral to acquaint you that it is intended, hence-
fo rth, to permit Book Pakets to be forwarded
from this Country in the Mails for New Zea-
land, sent via Marseilles, provided an additional
rate of postage, to cover the French transit
rate, the prepaid upon such packets.
I am, &c.,
F. HILL.
The Postmaster-General,
Auckland.
General Post Office, London,
14th June, 1858.
SIR,—I am directed by the Postmaster Ge-
neral to inform you that Letters and News-
papers addressed to Jerusalem and Bagdad, are
frequently received from Auckland in the
Mails which are made up for Alexandria.
Such correspondence can only be forwarded
from Alexandria by means of the French
Packets proceeding to Jaffa, whence it is
believed that it most readily reaches its desti-
nation, and as prepayment of the seapostage
due to France is compulsory, I am to request
that in addition to the postage for the con-
veyance of such Letters to Alexandria you will
in future collect a rate of 5d. per half ounce for
all Letters and of 1d. per two ounces for all
Newspapers, and account for such postage in
the Letter Bill for Alexandria.
I am, &c.,
F. HILL.
The Postmaster-General,
Auckland.
General Post Office, London,
26th June, 1858.
SIR,—I am directed by the Postmaster Ge-
neral to acquaint you that, on the 1st proximo
and thenceforward the postage of Letters be-
tween the United Kingdom and Martinique,
Guadeloupe or Curaçoa will be reduced to
the uniform British rate of sixpence the half
ounce, and so on, according to the usual scale.
On Letters, therefore, transmitted through
the United Kingdom between New Zealand
and the above mentioned Foreign Possessions,
on and after the 1st of next month, you will
be good enough to collect and account to this
office for the reduced rate of 5d. for a Letter
not exceeding half an ounce, and so on.
I am, &c.,
F. HILL.
The Postmaster-General,
Auckland.
