There is no later intelligence from China. ~,
The news on the affairs of the East, is of great
interest, as they appeared to be at the very crisis.
1t was extremely doubtful what turn affairs would
take, and opinions and reports were very contra.
dictory. The allies had evacuated Beyrout, because
it was not in state to be defended in case of ut
tack, but were in possession of a large number OF
places in Syria viz: Said, Jala, DJonni, D'Jebai
Kaifia, and Tripoli.
BERLIN, Oct. ga proof of the amicnble feel
ings of our government towards France, and of its
conviction that war with that power is not at
presout probable, may be found in the fact that il
has allowed the expectation of the horses 10000
it is sad) purchased iu this Kingdom for France;
5000 of these horses have already passed the from
tiers, and many thousandsnUre were expected.
From the Correspondent Of The London Chronicle,
October IS.
GREAT FIRE AT MANCHESTER.
| left Manchester by the mail train last night
and al that time, and for two hours previous, q
most caanitous and dreadful fire was raging
amongst the warehouses situated in Half moon
street, contiguous to Market st Thousands of
people were lhronging to the spot; and business,
although it was Saturday evening, seemed to be at
stand. Market street and the adjoining neigh
borhood was literally lighted mp with the bright
red glare of the hlame; large pieces of burnt cot
ton were flying in the air, carried away by the
wind; and some saw fall into the infrmary round
in Piccadilly. The warehouses on fire belonged
to Mr.. Shawcross, Mr.. Slater, Meisrs Eostiugs g.
Co, &C.. and as the streets in that locality are very
narrow, the probability is that the whole stack of
warehouses would inevitably be laid in ruins.
Seven FIRE engines belonging to the Manchester
police. with two from Stafford, were promptly on
the spot bnt from the extreme norrowness of the
passages, no man could stand between the burning
pile and the opposite warehouses without being
drendfully scorched The large paper warehouse
of Cartwright, Walsh q Co., and the firm of Co
der, Krauss g. Co., are in Imminent danger. The
cracking Of the lumber, the falling Of the beams
and side walls. the large volumes Of flame aud
smoke which kept issuing from the mass Of build
ings gave fearful token Of its destructive and aw-
full consequences.
HoLLAYD.--The ceremony Of the abdic0tion of
the King took place Oct. 8, at the Chateau of Loo,
with great soIemnity, in the presence of the
prince of Orange, now William H., the other
members of the Family, the Great Funetionares of
Stste, &c
SPAGN--The accounts from Madrid, which are
to the th lead us to suppose that the new Cabinet
nominated BY Espartero satisfies the people for the
present and therefore that the recent struggle may
be considered as terminated.
PORTUGAL dates, Oct. II, mention the
confinement Of the Queen, and alarm for her health.
The funeral of the ''Inianta Donna Maria" (the
deceased child having been baptized under that
nalne) took place with great pomp at San Vincente
de Fora, on the 9th inst. which according to custom
in similar cases. was kept as gala day.
LONDON, Oct. l9h.-ln our Money market, to-
day, there is less agitation than we have noticed

than upon their pockets.

up again Cousols are 97b for money; and for ac-
count, 81 3-S; New 3 per cents, 96 3-S to So l-2;

ANOTHER ATTEMTT TO ASSASSINATE
THE KING OF THE FRENCH.
PARIS, Oct l5th.--A musket shot was fired at
the king at o'clock this evening, at the moment
when his majesty was passing along the quay OF
the Tuieries, on his return to st. Cloud.
Neither the king nor any of the persons by whom
he was accompanied were hurt.
The assassin was arrested.
He ayowed his crime.
The name of the assassin is said to be BARNES.
He is from he south Of France (he said Marselles
but there was some doubt on that pOint.) 1t would
appear that his mu3ket had been overloaded, for il
burst and wounded him in the shoulder.
1t was rumored that the assassin was one of the
advocates for war who are at present so much eX-
ated, and that by numbering the king he caculat ed
on removing the only bar to the arrival Of that ca
lamity.
The funds fell of course at Tortonls in conse-
quence Of this attack, but as no further cOnse-
quences were apprehended from it, they rallied.
At the same time when the express left the three
per cents were 7Of 7jc. with however, but little
doing.
