THE CHINA REVIEW,

[HE widely-expressed regret at the dis- Tcontinuance of Notes & Queries on China and Japan, has induced the pablish oth of this journal to issue a publication similar in object and style, but slightly modified in certain details.

THE CHINA REVIEW, or Notes and Queries on the Far East, is issued at in- tervals of two months, each number con taining about 60 octavo pages, occasionally illustrated with lithographs, photographs, woodouts, &c., should the papers published demand, and the circulation justify, such extra matter.

THE CHINA MAIL.

Merchant Vessels in Hongkong Harbour.

Exclusive of late Arrivals and Departures reported to-day.

To facilitate finding the position of any vessel in the Harbour, the Anchorage is divided into eight Sections, commencing at Green Island. Vossels near the Hongkong shore are marked ., nor the Kowloong shore k., and those in the body of the Shipping or midway between each shore are marked o,, in conjunction with the figures denoting the sections.

Section.

1. From Green Island to the Gas Works

2. From Gas Works to the Novelty Iron Works.

3. From Novelty Iron Works to the Harbour Master's Office,

4. From Harbour Master's to the P, and O'Co.'s Office, vì
