Upon such payment, however, being made, letters and newspapers will be received and forwarded up to the latest moment consistent with the due despatch of the Mails. RECEIVING OFFICES. No. 57, Quay. ,, Dee Street— Jas. Fraser. ,, 8, Broadford— J. Davidson. Letters for the North Mails must be put into the Re- ceiving- boxes belonging to the above Offices by 9 o'clock on the previous evening ; and letters for the South Mail by 2 o'clock, P. M. on the day of despatch. PENNY POST- OFFICES. OLD ABERDEEN, and WOODSIDE. It is to be observed, however, that letters put into any of these Offices, for the General Post, are charged One Penny, in addition to the ordinary rate of Postage. POST- OFFICE REGULATIONS. Letters, Law- proceedings, Invoices, or other docu- ments, written upon a single sheet of paper, undivided, are chargeable with a single rate of postage only. Let- ters or packets, containing one enclosure, with two; and those containing two, or more enclosures, ( provided they do not weigh one ounce,) with three single rates. Such as weigh an ounce are chargeable with four single rates ; and should they exceed an ounce, an additional single rate is charged for every quarter of an ounce. Letters containing patterns, open at the ends, and under one ounce in weight, are charged as single letters, pro- vided no writing be within, except the prices of the pat- terns, and the name and address of the sender. If closed at the ends, and accompanied by a letter, they are charged double. Letters from Ireland, via Holyhead, are charged 3d. and by Donaghadee, 4d. of packet- rate, over and above the regular inland rates of postage. Those from Guernsey and Jersey, are liable to a packet- rate of 3d. besides the usual inland rates. SHIP LETTERS. Letters coming from on board of any ship, are charged 8d. for each single letter, besides the regular inland rates. And it is imperative that every shipmaster, before he be permitted to Report to the Custom House, compear at the Post- Office, and subscribe a declaration purporting that he has there delivered every letter in his possession falling within the construction of the statute, under a penalty of £ 200. Letters for Foreign parts, [ mails for which are made up from time to time, in London, and conveyed outwards in sealed bags,] are charged with half of the packet- rate of postage ; and which must be paid on their being put into the Office. Such letters are regularly forwarded to London, unless the sender specify a ship at some parti- cular port.
