Two years later he came to Shanghai and went on to Tientsin.” There he remained until 1860, when he returned to Shanghai and joined the firm of Hall & EXPORT OF TEA FROM JAPAN TO UNITED Holtz, with which he has been ever since con- nected. His health broke down some three or four years ago, and on Wednesday (31st March) he was attacked by internal hemorrhage, and soon became unconscions, remaining so untili the end came, Mr. Short was never married.

The Kobe Herald of the 22nd March says:-- The French steamer Ernest Simons got ashore alongside the pier in coming in this morning. She was in the hands of Pilot Harris. Some time was spent in fruitless efforts to bring the big steamer alongside and finally, after backing and filling several times, and endeavouring to warp her in the course of which work & couple of bollards and a portion of the pier were torn away her forefoot was placed hard and fast on the band, where it now lies. The passengers were landed in boats. The mishap vill not delay the steamer, as the cargo is being discharged into lighters. She is expected to float off without trouble at high water to-night, between 9 and 10 o'clock.
