ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Friday evening. On the afternoon of yesterday, Thursday April 11th, Canton was visited by a fearful catastrophe brought about by a whirlwind of terriffe force and unparalleled destructive. nels. For the last few days symptoms of unusual atmospherio disturbance have ma nifested themselves in the shape of repeated thunderstorms, One commenced about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon; this had hardly subsided about 3.80, when curiously shaped lumps of ice about the size of pigeons eggs, but in shape resembling star-fish, fell in great numbers all over the foreign settle ment of Shamier..
Mr Wotton said he was instructed that the witness did not himself buy the fish, and that the man who bought it said he wanted a small quantity as a sample but he (Mr Wotton) was not prepared to bring evidence in support of this. If the sale was supposed to be against the provisions of Section 7, he urged that it could not be brought wit in that Section, as the only reference in it to salt fish applied to hawker, while with regard to Section 8 the wording was too indefinite, and could only be taken in connection with Section 7. The defendant was fined 50 cents for breach of Secs, 7 and 8 of the Ordinance.
THREATENING LANGUAGE. Richard Jones, a seaman unemployed, was charged on remand with using threat ening language towards another seaman named Bradley, and ordered to enter into bis personal recognizancs for £6, to keep the peace for three months.

Miscellaneous.
Ir is not (says the Whitehall Review) England alone which shows a readiness to enlighten the Chinese as to the principles of warfare as practised by Europeans, for we hear of three young Chinese officers who are undergoing a course of lustraction on board the German corvette Arcona, at
Kiel.
Ir is stated that a great café proprietor on the Boulevards in Paris, encouraged by the accounts he has heard of Chinese handiness and moderation in respect of wages, is going to set up, on the first of blay, a staff of ten waiters, engaged at Shanghai, for seven years.
A NICE POINT IN A DIVORCE CASE.-Sir. James Hannen has aunulled the marriage of a young lady who, being sent from Inila for her education in England, in 1870, eloped with her cousin to sootland, in the same year, and was married to him after residence of minetoon days and parts of two other days in the northern part of the kingdom. An Act of Parliament prescibes that the residence must be of twenty-one clear days previous to marriage.
