Gambling is again rife in the vicinity of Canton. The description of Chinese lottery known as Bhan-piu is the favourite game. It consists of a big prize varying from $5000 to $10,000 according to the number of tickets purahased at 1 macs each. Much has already been done by the authorities to shut up this royal road to fortune which is trod by so few; but at present the lottery business is getting quite briak in several villages near Canton, there having been three drawings" during the last month.

To the floods of the past six or eight months this wretchedness is chiefly attributable, as the poor people not only lost their crops but in too many eaves their houses aud homesteads. The religious festivals are now being held, and the beggars form one of the saddest
features of the exhibitions now going on.
