GREAT FIRE AT ASTwERP-TwENTY FIRENES
KILLED.-A letter from Antwerp, dated Dec. Sd,
says: There was Il fearful confagration at the
Napoleon Docks last night, causing large loss of
life and property. The fire commenced at half
past 3 O'Clock at the large Belgian sugar refinery,
and in about half-an-hour the whole buildings
were one mass of flames, causing the greatest con-
sternation, and 50 great q heat that two vessels
lying in the docks in front of the buildings COM
menced burning. The fire extended with great
rapidity to the Entrepot st. Felix, which became
also one mass of flames at about eight in the
evening. After great exertions on the part of
the fire brigades the fire was arrested, but it is
still burning, and the adjoining warehouses are
not yet out of danger. We regret to say that
about twenty fremen, one architect, and the
Superintendent of the Entrepot St. Felix have
been lost and several more persons are missing.
The total estimated loss of property is about
l0, 900 ,O00f. there were about fifty thousand
quarters of wheat, rye, barley and seed ut st
Felix, besides large quantities of wool, sugar and
other articles. The loss to the insurance COM
panies will be principally in this country and
Holland, and also in a London Office. There
were at least fifty men inside the building.
Tongues of livid flames were seen shortly to
issue from the windows of the first story about
thirty-fiye minutes past seven. \ cry of horror
and fear arose from the crowd respecting the fate
of the men who were in the upper (seventh) story
OF the building. At ten minutes to eight the
building fell in with n fearful crash, burying the
unfortunate men in the ruins. The number of
killed has not, however, as yet, been actually
ascertained.

STEERING a SHIP WITH A DISABLED RCDDER.-
Walking along the city front yesterday, our at
tentiOn was attracted by a curious cOntrivance
attached TO the stern of the ship 80 Dictator . just
arrived from Hongkong. 4 close inspection
showed this to be an Ingenious arrangement pre-
pared on the voyage y her commander, Capt.
q. Phillips, by which he was enabled to bring
his ship safely into this port, having sailed 4
distance of two or three thousand miles from the
place where the mishap occurred. This was in
the China sea, where a terrific typhoon threw the
ship upon her beam ends, and by the action OF a
tremendous sea, among other damage, disabled
the rudder, 50 that the gallant : Dictator was
for a while drifting helpless in the storm. When
the weather abated sufficiently to admit of work
ing, Captain Phillips prepared u stout spar,
which was fastened by clamps and chains to the
after part of the rudder, SO as to leave the end
pointing aft about twelve feet beyond the stern.
10 this Wa attached blocks and tackles which,
connected with a couple OF strong spars, rugged
out for the purpose from the quarter, and the
fall leading inbOard to the barrel of the wheel,
the ship was steered entirely across the Pacific
ocean, but only with the exercise OF constant
watchfulness and caution. Prior to the rigging
of this continuance, and before the storm abateG,
the ship was managed solely by 4 large hawser
tOwed over the stern. There are several Instances
on record where vessels having been saved by the
exercise of skillful and prompt seamanshlp, the
underwriters have complimented the Captain with
testimonials-as in the case of the Tornado
which ship, with her valuable cargo, was saved
by u somewhat similar invention by Captain
Mumford, who was presented by the Insurance
companies with a magnificent service of silver.
Probably Capt. Phillips looks for no such ac-
knowledgm mt in this case, but the ingenuity OF
the plan and the neat and seamanlike manner IN
which this temporary work was done, is ut least
entitled to brief notice at our hands. f. pap.
