G-KEAT ttTDTTNAIION A^D LOSS OP LIPB. — A letter from Manila, of October 7th, gives the following painful intelligence : Since our report of the 19th ultimo, we have had very boisterous weather, and few shipping days. Manila, during the 24th, 29th ultimo, was under water — in some parts four feet of water over the streets — and disastrons indunations have taken place in the northern provinces. Reports were yesterday received from Hocos that three villages had entirely disappeared, and several hundreds of lives been lost. The mail from Europe of the 10th of Augnst, which should have arrived here about the 24th ultimo, ha 3 not done so, and fears are entertained of the steamer from Hong-kong to this port being lost. The Water lily has put in here in distress, with heavy damages. The Sardinian, from this to New York, has put back also with heavy damages, and the master of the Stuart Wortly has arrived in an open boat, having been wrecked in the gale on North Danger Shoal. Fears are entertained of the Annie Langton and the Fort Regent, both having been last seen in a very dangerous position. The Par Hazard (British bark) is a total wreck on the coast of Boudog, to the south, and further disasters are daily arriving.
