Mr. WILLARD accomplished his aim' most cleverly and most effectually; he deprived the Hongkong public of the pleasure of listening to the finest music ever written, declaimed by artistes of exceptional merit for the Far East; and, by the convenient ald of Mr. DENNYS, Secretary, of the City Hall, he has been enabled to do all that free of cost-or rather at the expense of the subscribersto and supporters of our leading public institution.

THE TYPHOON.
The following telegram from the Kowloon Observatory reached us at a late hour last night :-
"The typhoon is'approaching Hongkong from the E.S.E."
During the night the weather, which had been oppressively hot from early in the afternoon until about eight o'clock, underwent a complete change. The temperature cooled down consider ably, the wind blowing in intermittent gusts but without violence. Early this morning the general conditions plainly enough indicated the presence of a typhoon somewhere in the vicinity, Heavy clouds enveloped the colony like a paĺi, the air, owing to the increasing dampness, was oppressive in the extreme, and although there was no wind worth mentioning, a lumpy sen was running through the harbour in all directions. Immediately after daylight the sampans and other Chinese craft commenced to seek shelter, and a busy scene was soon presented of lang streams of small junks, passenger boats and sampans, towed by steam launches and shaping for safety inside the Breakwater at Causeway Bay, the Bowrington Canal, or in Kowloon and Yau-mah-ti Bays. At 8 o'clock the typhoon gan was fired, the weather at that time looking particularly threatening, although little change had occurred either in wind or sea.
The barometer went down a triße during the forenoon, but at 1 o'clock had again risen on the Queen's Road level (Messrs. Geb. Falconer & Co.'s) to 29.69. It would almost appear at the time of writing (1.15 p.m.) as if the typhoon had passed to the southward, although the weather still looks threatening,
