CANTON.
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
Canton, October 30th. The disastrous fire of Saturday broke out in the upper story of a house situated in a lane to the westward of the Customs shed, and quickly ate its way to the river, destroying everything en route down to the river bank itself. The old Customs shed having a mat shed over it was completely destroyed within ten minutes after the sparks caught its roof. From the Commissioner downwards every member of the staff worked with an energy and will deserving of all commenda. tion, The Shameen Fire-brigade were also 'to the front as usual, doing everything possible. to minimize the disaster, and Mesirs. Lafrentz, Potts and Reid were especially conspicuous in their praiseworthy efforts in this direction. Fortunately it was a dead calm, otherwise the area of destruction would have been greatly extended, The Customs shed is to be immediately rebullt under the superintendence of Messrs. Palmer & Turner, of Hongkong.

The upshot is that Liu's rank has been suspended-s is customary in such Casca-pending the investigation af groundless charges preferred against him. The concensus. of opinion here is that this ablest of Chin se viceroys will come out of the scrimmage with flying colours. It is extremely doubtful whether the Feking authorities will allow him to go away from here, for some months at any rate, although, he had tendered his resignation. There are few, if any, other lu' in China, and the Central Government surely know it.

The forts at Kelong have been completed, and the big Armstrong guns placed in position by Lieut. Hecht. These guns are warranted to knack' any Russian ironclad into atoms: at a four-miles range!

The Kelung mines are being worked by a Chinese company, and the "foreign devils" are therefore bested. The managers are, so it is said, going to have a regular daily out-pat of 500 tona.

The drastic treatment of Liu-ming-chuep, the Governor of Formosa, in cutting off the heads of two of his principal generals, has created quite a furore at the capital, and has ended by the Governor being temporarily degraded; the reason assigned however for this action belog his mismanagement of the Keelung mines. The foreign mining syn leate, which formed teeif with such ostentatious show some months since, for monopolizing the timber and mineral resources of Formosa, have not yet succeeded in gra ping the golden apple, and will yet have to "mark time" in the shade.
