It is of striking design, showing a viow of Mount Egmont, surrounded by vignettes of native birds, tree ferns, and nikau palps, the value being boldly shown in white letters on a blue background. These notes will be roceived by any Government Department in payment of fees or for tho lodgment of deposits in the Post Office Savings Bank. Thoy differ in two particulars from moneyorders — they need no letter of advice from the issuing office, while their period of circulation is not limited, so that they may be cashed at any time after delivery, an arrangement which is now made, we believe, for tho_ first time in the British dominions. The poundage fee is 6d. It ia expected that tfae effect of making the time of payment unlimited will be that the public will como in time to treat them m current notoi."
