DREADFUL FIRE AT LIVERPOOL.

(Prom Gore's Liverpool Advertiser.)
This morning, shortly after 12 o'clock, the neighbour-
hood of the Salthouse-dock experienced great alarm by
the appearance of tire in the extensive 'warehouse of Mr.
John A.spinall, Orford-street. The fire commenced in a
cotton-room on the second flour, and in a few moments
threatened destruction to the neighbourhood, which con-
sisted chiefly of warehouses. The alarm-bells were
rung, and in a short time all the engines in town hastened
to the scene of conflagration, by which time the tire had
extended to other premises, Mr. Aspinall's warehouse is
situated at the corner of Orford-street; anti under the
warehouse were several offices, into which it was found
impossible, to enter, with a,view of saving the books,
&e.; among them, we understand, were Mr. Cyrus .Mor-
ral's office, and also that of Mr. John Dillies. The fire,
notwithstanding the exertions of the firemen and others,
reached Several other warehouses, • amongst which were
those of Mr. Joseph Leigh, Mr. Riley, sail-maker; .Messrs.
Rankin and Co., Mr. C, Fletcher, and others whose
names it was impossible, _ from the confusion which
existed, for us to collect. Suffice it to say, that at
one period were presented to the gaze of the thou-
sands. collected to the spot, Mr. Aspinall's warehouse, at
one corner of Orford-street, the warehouse of • Mr. Gib-
bons, at the opposite corner, the other warehouses for
forty yards up Orford-street, and a warehouse, the back
of which was in Fixton-lane. The appearance of the fire
for several hours was awfully grand.. the engines of the
different fireotliees did all in their power to prevent its
furtherprogress,..,but it was impossible to stop the rage
of the fire, 'situated as those buildings were, and the gene-
ral fear seemed to be for the safety of the private dwel-
lings of the neighbourhood. The police-officers were
quickly on the spot, and rendered the most effectual ser-
vices by their well-timed arrangements. The Mayor in a
short time arrived at the scene of destruction, and by his
decisive measures a great deal of the property in the ad-
jacent warehouses was conveyed beyond the reach of the
fire. Soon after his Worship. arrived on the spot, a great
part of the crew, and all the marines of the .Thlicrit` sloop
of war-, landed, ,and „owing to the efficient arrangements
of Captain Price (the acting naval officer of this port),
and Lieut. 'lt ochford, .R.N. (eommander of the I?ittern),
a great deal of property was saved front the destructive
element. Mr. Harrison, the quarter-master, stationed at
the rendezvous, was called out at an. early hour, and ren-
dered a most essential service in this dreadful calamity,
At this moment (three o'clock) . the fire is still raging
to a most alarming extent, and threatening destruction
~to
the whole neighbourhood.

TIIUWAY EVENING.
The lire continued' to rage with undiminished fury, until
neat six o'clock, when it began to abate, not ao much frow
the labours qf the firemen, as from all :the timber and com-
bustible ihatter in the buildings having been destroyed.—
We 11.04 not heard of a single individual being hurt during
the tire. The warehouses are not more than twenty yards
from the Salthouse-dock, the vessels in which could scarce-
ly have escaped destruction, had not the wind fortunately
blown from thesontb-west. As it was they were in imminent
peril; but the dock not being very full of vessels, they were
drove to the opposite or west side, out of the reach of the
danger. Various statements have been given of the value
of the property destroyed. by tliis calamity; but it cannot
be less than 150,0001; of which nearly 100,0001. ,t is
said, is insured in the different fire-offices. The present
is the most extensive lire that has taken place in Liver-
pool since the year 1801, when the Goree warehouses
were destroyed. . •
