To OUR READERS . Our country friends will continue to receive their copies of the * Masonic Mirror , " through the post , for 7 d . as heretofore , though we have ceased to stamp any portion of our impression—the new law requiring us to make such alterations in our appearance , if we avail ourselves of the power of stamping , which we deem to be inexpedient . The number will , however , pass freely through the post by the affixing of a penny stamp , and the alteration of the law will , when deemed expedient , enable us materially to enlarge our size without additional cost to our readers . We that shall

are aware we , by the new arrangement , be placed in some little difficulty with our Colonial Readers , inasmuch as the new tariff of book postage does not apply to places beyond the seas . For the present , however , we shall continue to supply those friends whose subscri ptions we have received in the usual manner , we bearinothe loss that the extra postage will inflict upon us ; and for the future we shall for the accommodation of the colonies , also issue our "Mirror" in quarterly parts ' by which three numbers will pass through the colonial book post for one postage

P .

The information can be obtained in Br . Oliver ' s last work on Freemasonry ; the subject is too long for our pages .
