' INTERNATIONAL vi POSTAGE. I Thore may be many of our subscri-- . bers who may not be aware that, under the 'provisions of, tho new Postal Con- vohtion between tho United" States and Great Britain, held last summer,1 arid which is dated July 8th, 1S67, a considerable modification was made in the postage, of international letters. .y The provisions of the Convention applying to international newspapers, printed matter and other postal packets' came into operation on the 1st of Octo ber; 1807, In a former article wo gave some explanations respecting the rates of "postage on such matter. In one of the published regulations on . the subject, it is stated that newspapers sent to and from Great Britain are charged iwb cents postage without regard to weight. But there seems to bo somo mistake about this , as the London Hluairatcd iV?u?3?has come here with four cent stamps oh each number, since the first ofJOctober, while '.previously it came hero. bearing 'two cent stamps only. There Is a'pestal regulation which says, that "pamphlets-arid-periodica- ls over two ounces In weight, and othdr.prihted matter, except books, including printed papers' of all kinds, maps, plans, prints, engrayings, drawings, photographs, lithographs, sheets of music, and so forthyaro charged four cents per four ounces or fraction of four ounces.' It is probable that this regulation governs newspapers, like tho London Illustrated iVeu'j, .that aro over a certain weight. Wo may here repeat that books sent by mail to; and from Great Brl tain are chargedfbr at tho rate of six cents per four ounces' or fraction of four ounces That portion of the new. Postal Convention which relates to international letters "went into operation on the first of January. Twenty-fou- r cents for ;a single' rate of hair an , ounce, or tinder has been'tho charge heretofore for let ters "sent to and from Great Britain. Now, letters of that weight are sent to and from" the two countries for half the cents. pruviuua umuuiii-w- iai is,tweivo But there is a point in connection with this to which we wish to call the attention of our readers. Unpaid or insufficiently paid international letters will, in addition to the full - postage' be subject to a fine on delivery; :Thb line to be levied and collected' in the United States upon unpaid uor insufficiently paid international letters received 'from tho United langdonvjori arid after Jari. 1, 1BG3J will bo five cents each. Letters, therefore, which do not bear a sufficient number of stamps to prepay them; aro charged on delivery as' though thbro had been nothing prepaid upon them, : and live cents extra as a fine. ' . The international registration fee was formerly twenty cents; now, the ainount is only eight cents. V Letters, newspapers, pamphlets7 periodicals, or books, can bo rcsistered for tho latter amount in addlUoix to tho ; ordinary . ; :;v j postage charges.
