Tuts is from the Hufno-During the terrible epidemic which has heen raging in Canton, people were dying like flies. Funeral processions in grand or meagre style were of daily occurrence; and all efforts in the way of prayers, incense offering, and prohibiting of slaughter-houses have been of no avail against the onslaught of the evil defy who seems determined to thin off the densely crowded population of the city. The magistrate, as a last resource, has borrowed an ancient brass drum from a certain temple, which he considers, has magical influence in warding off the epidemic. The drum is carried about the streets in great style, a procession of flags, incense burners, horses and chairs preceding, following, and crowding around it. The reduc- tion, in the rate of mortality is imperceptible. The Magistrate, however, imagines that the wonderful drum has done a great deal of good, As the prisoners in the jall of the magistrate's yamen are nearly all attacked, as is only natural, by the epidemic his Honour has ordered the drum to be placed in the jail as the only means to preserve his prisoners and prevent them from leaving wholesale,
A MEETING of members of the Polo Club was held in the Cricket Pavillon yesterday afternoon (16th Inst.), to decide whether the usual Sky meeting under the auspices of the Club should be beld or not. It was proposed some time ago that an afternoon's racing might easily be arranged, and that a day In April be fixed for the meeting. It appears, however, that there has been dissention in the camp, for it was stated yesterday that four cups, which had been promised as prizes, were now withdrawn.. Whether this was owing the donors having repented of their generosity, or to tightness of funds was not explained; but as the "pots" given at these little meeting--which have hitherto been of a most, enjarable nature are generally valued at about $30, there seems to b: more in this business than has been explained, and no doubt the usual underground engineering has been resorted to. On the quration being put to the vote, it was decided by the narrow majority of two that the meeting be
