The next homeward departure of P. & Q. steamer will be under the new mail contract, from Yokohama on the 8th, from Shanghai on the 12th, and from Hongkong on Wednesday, the 17th Decem- ber..

THE Amoy paper announces the death on the 23rd of Mr C. Bismarck, the German Consul at that port. Deceased was born in Germany, in 1839. He came to China in 1861 as attaché to the German Embassy under H. E. Count Eulenberg, and on the return of the Embassy to Europe, joined the German Legation at Pekjug, where he mastered the Mandarin and other dialects, He was subsequently appointed Cousal at Tientsin, and acted as interpreter to the German and other Ministers at their inter- view with the late Emperor Tung-teko, Afterwards he was appointed acting Consal to Amoy in the place of Dr Krauel who had proceeded to Europe or furlough, and Mr Bismarck was himself just on the point of leaving for Europe on leave when he was prostrated by abscess of the liver which has now resulted fatally. During Mr Bis- marek's residence of three years at Amoy, he has made many friends. He was twice decorated by his Emperor with the Order of Merit and the Red Eagle for distinguished
