The Great Liverpool steamer arrived off the harbour last
night, and came into the port this morning, having left Alex-
andria on the 24th ult. She brings a mail from India, dis-
patched from Bombay the Ist ult., by the Cleopatra steamer,
which arrived at Suez on the 18th.

MALTA, DEC. 28
MEHEMET ALI'S SUBMISSION.

Up to the moment of departure of the Acheron for Mar-
seilles, the steamer ea pected from Marmorice, with the result
of Captain Fanshawe's mission, has not arrived, but we may
venture to anticipate it, by stating that we have strong rea-
son to believe that the Sultan will not receive the submission,
and consequently refuse to reinstate Mehemet Ali, in which
case the Pacha will resist to the last, and will, if pressed,
retire into the interior, even as far as Sennaar, with Ibrahim
Pacha and his army; but it appears doubtful whether the
troops will remain faithful ; in a contrary case, Mehemet Ali
and his son will be obliged to surrender, should they escape
with their lives. Unfortunately for him, his submission was
only nominal, and not accompanied by acts.

EXTENSIVE & CALAMITOUS FIRE AT DUBLIN

(From the Dublin Evening Mail of:Monday.)
On Saturday morning a most calamitous and destructive
fire occurred at the extensive premises of Mr. John S. Folds.
The entire of his splendid printing-office, with its valuable
stock of type, is burned to the ground. The printing-office
was situated behind Mr. Fold's dwelling-house, on Bachelor's-
walk—the rere of the premises reaching the South Lotts.
The fire was first observed by the policeman on duty in the
Lotts, who perceived a flame issuing from the rere of the
printing-office about four o'clock on Saturday morning ; the
alarm was instantly given at the dwelling-house ; in a few
minutes Mr. Folds himself entered the printing-office from
the other side—he was met on his entrance by a burst of
flames proceeding from the staircase, a quarter of the pre-
mises at a considerable distance, and completely separated
from that in which the policeman had first observed the fire.
The flames burst forth simultaneously in different parts of
the house, and all attempts to save the valuable property from
the devouring element were in vain. Some delay occurred
in the arrival of the engines. On their arrival the supply of
water was abundant. The police force exerted themselves
with the most praiseworthy zeal, and by nine o'clock on Sa-
turday morning the fire was got under, not, however, until
the whole of the building, and all the valuable stock of type
on the premises had been utterly-destroyed. Mr. Carleton
of the Sun, Mr. Life of the Caledonian, Mr. Robinson of
the Patriotic, and Mr. Studdart of the Atlas Insurance Offices,
were especially active in their efforts to extinguish the flames ;
great praise is also due to Mr. Baillie (of the house of Messrs.
Wilson, type -founders), who made great exertions to save
such portions of the paper and printed work as could 'be
reached. Th 3 loss of property is immense— the value of the
type and paper consumed, with that of the building, exceeds
at the lowest consumption £5,000, and we regret to add, that
this heavy loss falls-entirely on Mr: Folds, who is not covered
by insurance. • The only portion which escaped is a separate
building, in which the machinery stands, which was insured ;
but on the • printing-office; which has been burnt to the
ground,- the insurance bad been• suffered to expire ; Mr.
_Folds had -actually taken steps to renew it, and this day,
we believe, - the• policy would have been completed. For-
tunately a great deal of • valuable property belonging to
of the booksellers had just been withdrawn from the
-room under the printing-office, or the loss would
been still greater, as nearly all its contents were con-
sumed. Messrs. Curry and Co. had a narrow escape of
losing the entire impression of this month's University Ma-
gazine and Charles O'Malley, which, had the tire occurred a
week earlier,• must have been destroyed. The origin of this
calamitous fire is -enveloped in mystery ; it is strongly sus-
pected, and not without-reason, to have been the work of an
incendiary. At five o'clock the preceding evening all the
workmen had left the -office, and the premises were shut up ;
Mr. Fold's confidential caretaker before closing them having
as usual, gone through the whole of the apartments without
a light, and Mr. Folds himself turned the main cock of the
gas pipe, which effectually prevented the possibility of any
risk from gas ; all was then perfectly secure, the fires in the
stoves of the printing-office perfectly extinguished, and it is
a singular fact, that on this day these fires bad been by ac-
cident permitted to die out, so that the men in the office to-
wards evening complained bitterly of the cold; the only fire
kept up on the premises was one in the reader's room ; and
it is strange that this room, though situated off the printing-
office, has escaped the conflagration, and is still standing
uninjured. At two o'clock Mr. Folds retired to rest, and
there was then not the least appearance of fire about the
printing-office, the front windows of which look towards the

this the singular ill-fortune that the devouring element
should have as it were selected that portion of the premises ,

In a late number of our paper, we had occasion, in con-
nexion with the recent melancholy shipwrecks and loss of
life at this port, to speak of a man whose name, as we then
stated, was in every persons mouth, viz. Mr. Mg.rtin
Douglass, formerly of this town, who, for many years, was
ever first in the scene of danger to save life in cases of ship-
wreck. Since that lamentable occurrence the-circumstances
of many of Mr. Douglass's exertions have been made the
subject of -conversation at numerous firesides in this neigh-
bourhood. The intense anxiety with which the accounts
were received by the juvenile hearers, while their sires or
grandsires were communicating the details, afforded many
proofs of the general feeling of sympathy that pervades the
human breast, when the peril of human life is brought under
our serious consideration, and tended greatly to show, that
we are almost as susceptible of sympathetic impressions when
scenes of danger are related that are past or distant, as
when the occurrences have been witnessed by our own eyes.
For the entertainment of our readers generally, who take an
interest in such matters, we have compiled a few of the most
interesting of the occurrences in question, in which Mr.
Douglass's skill and intrepidity have been manifested; a
perusal of which, we doubt not, will be considered worthy of
attention.
About forty years ago, a new vessel of about 300 tons bur-
then, named the Ajax, Captain Hall, sailed out of this harbour
with part of her cargo of coals on board, it being intended to
ship the remainder in the roads out of keels, which was then
customary with large vessels, as the great improvements in
deepening tile harbour were not then effected. A violent
storm came on, and the vessel became so much endangered
that all hopes of saving the crew, consisting of thirteen per-
sons, together with a custom-house officer, were given up by
the people generally on shore, for at that time no life-boat
was established here. the vessel either broke from, or
dragged her anchors, so that she drove upon a rock to the
north of the harbour. The danger of goirig off to her was
therefore greatly increased, as it was considered that, in such
a tremendous sea, no boat could live one moment among the
rocks in broken water. This. being the opinion of the most
experienced of the pilots and seamen, all others followed their
example, anu none would attempt an effort to save the crew,
until Martin Douglass, who was then an active young man,
of undaunted courage, and possessing great skill as a pilot.
boldly volunteered to go off to the vessel in a cable. With
much difficulty he succeeded in prevailing upon other three
men to accompany him. After a long and severe struggle
they reached the vessel, and succeeded in taking part of the
crew from the foretop, to which they had fled for safety, as
they were in danger of being washed off the deck by the sea
breaking over the maul. The boat returned to the shore
with those of the crew rescued, 'who were landed in safety.
Mr. Douglass, nothing daunted, prevailed upon his three
assistants to go off with him again, to endeavour to save the
remainder of the crew. They, again reached the vessel, and
a few more of the ship's crew got into the boat with great
difficulty ; the whole, however, could not get into the boat at
that time, as she was driven from the vessel and swamped.
She filled with water and drove to the beach, and all on board
the boat landed in safety, except the gallant Martin Doug-
lass, who still remained in her. The assistants being
completely drenched with wet and exhausted, would not
venture off again. During the second attempt, one ofthe
boat's crew, named Michael Watson, was' washed overboard,
and had a very narrow escape for his life, but he was caught
hold of by Mr. Douglass, and hauled into the boat. After
some delay and great persuasion, Mr. Douglass obtained a
fresh boat's crew, who proceeded with him to the vessel on
his third attempt, when the whole of the remaining crew
were taken from the vessel. But the custom-house-officer,
Cuthbert Hall, being an infirm old man, could not get into
the boat, as the violence with which she was dashed to and
fro gave no opportunity to any but the most active of persons ;
he therefore unavoidably perished. The boat returned safe
to land, and the vessel became a total wreck. Those efforts
being performed as above described, amongst rocks, in broken
water, in an extraordinary violent sea, and in an open coble,
have been considered by the oldest of our seafaring inhabi-
tants, to be the most daring and adventurous ever attempted
on this coast.

In another heavy storm, when a number of pilots' cobles
were between the piers attending upon several vessels that
were coming in from sea, on the last vessel arriving, one co-
bit', containing four men, ventured out near to the pier end,
where the sea was exceedingly boisterous. The coble was
upset, and the men clung to her while she was bottom up. in
which situation they remained for near an hour. None of the
other cobles' crews would -venture out into the heavy sea,
lest they should also be upset, as it was thought that no boat
could live, and there was then no life-boat. Mr. Douglass
was on shore at the time, but being informed of the occur-
rence, he and three of his brothers instantly manned their
coble, and proceeded to the scene of danger. They found the
men nearly all exhausted ; but, however, they succeeded in
rescuing them from their perilous situation. Two of the
crew were brothers—viz., William Thurlbeck, now of the
Granby Arms, in this town, and Michael Thurlbeck, the
latter of whom was drowned. The other men, together with
the four Douglasses, landed in safety.
About twenty years ago three ships, viz. the Lady Anna-
belle, the Mary and Susan, and the Billy Pitt, sailed out of
this harbour, partly coal-laden, and took in the remainder of
their cargoes in the roads. A very heavy storm came on,
with the wind at north-east. During the night, all the three
vessels dragged their anchors, and drove near to the South
Rocks, till brought up upon the foul ground among broken
water. Great fears were entertained that, on the falling tide,
the ships would beat to pieces, if even their anchors should
hold, which was considered verp unlikely, from the distance
they had previously dragged. It was therefore considered
necessary to send off both the life-boats to bring the crews
on shore. They were therefore brought out and manned ;
Mr. Douglass being in the second boat that put off from the
shore. At this juncture, the wind shifting from N.E. to
N.N.W., Mr. Douglass considered, that if the change were
taken advantage of, not only might the lives of the crew be
saved, but the vessels also rescued from their dangerous situ-
ation. The first life-boat had gone alongside the Lady An-
nabelle, and the crew were seen going into her, with intent to
abandon the ship, in which case she must have become a
wreck by violent beating bejore the next flood tide. Mr.
Douglass hailed the Annabella's crew from the second life-
boat, and told them to take the advantage which the change
of wind afforded, and to use their endeavours to save the
ship, by putting a spring on their cable, and on getting out,
to run for the southward, and bring up near to Hartlepool ;
which instructions were attended to, and proved successful.
The second, life-boat proceeded to the Mary and Susan, when
Mr. Douglass and four of his crew went on board. The boat
then proceeded to the Billy Pitt, with instructions from Mr.
Douglass how to act in order to get the vessel out to sea.
Springs were put in each of the cables, and the vessels were
got off, and, though the gale was violent, they were enabled
to keep off the land. By these efforts of skilful pilotage, all
the three vessels were preserved from becoming wrecks.
On another occasion, under the additional disadvantages
of its being a very dark night, and in a very heavy storm
and boisterous sea, the cries of a ship's crew were heard on
shore, as if proceeding from a direction among the rocks,
to the north of this harbour. The life-boat was launched,
and a public alarm given ; but the prospect being so dismal,
for some time no person then present would venture off. At
length Mr. Douglass arrived at the spot, and bearing the
cries, though no vessel could be seen from the darkness of
the night, he manfully proposed to go off and invited a crew
to man the boat, which with difficulty he obtained. They
proceeded and nearly reached the vessel, which they could
scarcely see, but knew from hearing the cries of the crew
very distinctly, that they could not be far off. A heavy sea,
however, broke over the boat, and nearly turned her over,
when several of the oars were driven away. They were
therefore obliged to return to the shore for more oars, which
were soon procured, but the crew, all but Mr. Douglass,
stepped on shore and would not again return on board, so
that a fresh crew was then required. Mr. Douglass's bro-
ther happened to be on the beach at the time, and volun-
teered to go into the boat. After some time, a crew was
obtained and the boat again proceeded. On coming near to
the vessel, they found that she was nearly on her broad side,
on the N.E. extremity of the rock, and that the crew were
In the main top. To avoid the danger of being dashed upon
the rock, by which the boat might be broken to pieces, they
proceeded round to the weather side, on the N. E. of the
vessel, where they had much difficulty to keep the boat from
being stove against the ship's side. The ship's crew were
desired to descend the rigging on the weather side in two
divisions, and on the word ` drop' being called, to drop
from the main chains ; which arrangement proved successful.
The whole of the men got into the boat, and were landed in
safety. The vessel proved to be the Betsy and Ellen, or
some such name, of Shields. In the morning her wreck was
strewed all along the shore.

HOVIQUA, THE HONG MERCHANT.—Originally a menial
servant, Howqua has arisen to be one of the first merchants
in the world, and his integrity, honour, and good faith, as a
commercial man, cannot be surpassed by any merchant on
the Royal Exchange. His teas to this day are superior in
quality, arid in the quality of their excellence, to those of the
other merchants ; and tea-dealers in England, who have his
name marked on the chests which they receive into their
warehouse, can speak to the even nature of the quality con-
tained in each chest. As a merchant, his word may be relied
on to a greater extent than can perhaps be believed by those
who know him not. He would tell me any day of the week
the rates of exchange at Hamburgh, London, or New York,
Bombay, Madras, or Calcutta; and a capacious memory
and a cool head enabled him to calculate, without difficulty,
the probable profit or loss of any investment in goods or
money. Regularity, system, and attentinn, seem to be the
leading characteristics of Howqua's commercial life, whilst
a mature judgment, aided by a retentive memory, and a quiet
insight into the general business of the world, seem to have
led him onward from a humble place in life to the station
of the head Hong merchant of Canton

.. .
Upon once asking one of his countrymen to. what he attri-
buted Howqiiit's success, and how he accounted for that
portion of respect and influence which Howqua appeared to
have acquired over his countrymen, the answer was—" With
Howqua everything is of importance ; in whatever he is
engaged—in whatever he has any interest, however small—
that affair is with him of consequence." I have had many
conversations with Howqua, and I seldom left him without
feeling that I had been conversing with an intellectual per-
son—with one who was superior by far to the majority of
his countrymen—with one whose opinion was worthy of at-
tention, and whose word as a merchant was equal to his
bond.—Sketches from the " Bristol Times," by a late Re-
sident in China.

CAPE TOWN, Oct. 13.—Vixen, Tinley. from Liverpool, which

of the 31st August. The Vixen saw the brig ahead at noon on the
30th, topgallant sail just visible above the horizon, and both vessels
on the starboard tack. At one a.m. 31st August, the Vixen came
up to the brig, and it being very dark and squally, determined to run
to leeward some distance, and then had her wind again. This was
done to avoid giving any uneasiness on board the brig, from the
near neighbourhood of such a clipper-looking schooner. The brig,
however, much to the astonishment of Captain Tinley, bore up and
ran down towards him, and when within ball, fired a gun from his
taffrail at the Vixen, and, on passing her stern, endeavoured to
rake her by firing a very heavy shotted gun, which very nearly
dismasted her, the shot passing through the Vixen's spars.—Mem.

the Magnet on the supposition of her being p. pirate.
