LIVERPOOL, JAN. 25.—On Thurfday morning,
between one and two o'clock, the molt dreadful
form of wind arofe from the welhvard ever re-
membered by the oldefi inhabitant of this town or
neighbourhood, and continued with equal or in.
created violence until three o'clock in the afternoon,
in which many floops, tome laden, others in bal-
laft, were funk at their anchors between the Old
Dock quay and the Fort ; boats beaten to pieces
on the beach, as well as larger craft ; the floop
Peggy, of Greenock, Capt. M'LF At:, laden with
provifions from Cork, was driven on (hove near the
Half-mile Houle, where the went on her beam ends
and Coon filled with water, the crew (fix in num-
ber) with a gentleman and fix foldiers, paffengers
and the Pilot, lathed themfelves to the malt and
rigging, and remained there a confiderable time,
not fifty yards from the fhorc, in fight of many
fpeetators' who, in vain, attempted relief, but were
unable to afford any, from the violence oldie form
and tremendous forge of the fea, and melancholy
to relate, the pilot, paffengcrs, and crew, were all
unfortunately drowned,except one, who was wafh-
ed on fhore nearly exhaufted, but was happily
recovered. The tide flowed near fix feet higher
than mentioned in the Tide Table. The devalla-
tion committed by the form on the houfes in the
town are beyond defcription, fcarcely any but re-
tains tome marks of its unprecedented fury; fifteen
new built linall houfes in Chitrenholme-Greet, and
other ft reets in the neighbourhood of Vauxhall-road
were levelled to the ground; the roof of a gentle,
man's houfe in Bold-ftreet was beat in, by the
Rack of chimneys falling, which htoke through
the roof and floors down to the tea-room ; another
houfe, in Price's-fireet, fuffered the like difafter,
in which a woman in the loft Rage of pregnancy
was killed by the ruins whiltt in bed with her huf-
band and two children, the latter efcaped with
Come contufions ; a gentleman in Ranelagh-greet
had not quitted his bed many minutes before it
was completely covered by the chimneys, which
falling, penetrated through the roof ; but the molt
wonderful mark of prefervation was' that of a
gentleman in his bed at Everton, who, by the
Falling of the chimneys, was entirely overwhelmed
by them, but, as if by the Ipecial care of PROVI.
DENCR, two of the large coping fonts from the
chimney top fell in filch a manner as to form a
kind of arch over his head, and thereby preferved
his life ; a contufion and feveral bruifes were the
unavoidable confequence, but we are happy to
fay that he is in a fair way of recovery, though
the weight of the rubbifh was to great as to break
the bedilocks on which he lay, and to force a,
pirage trough the floor into the room below; the
houfes in Bedford-greet Harrington, Edge-hillt
Low-hill, and Everton, and their neighbourhoods,
have fuffered feverely in their roofs and windows,
many of them being completely uncovered, and
the garden walls levelled with the gtound ; indeed
there is fcarcely any part of the town that has
.efcaped its fury - the fame, we learn, has been
the cafe in all the neighbouring townfhips :in
Halewood many trees torn up by the roots and barns
thrown down or uncovered ; in Simondfwood, a
new built brick-houfe, and many other houfes,
barns, and fhippons, thrown down and completely
deftroyed ; in Down Holland, we alto learn, the
like difatier took place, as well as at Crolby ;
and the venerable church of Sefton, that has
flood upwards of toco years, has loft about 5 feet
of its fpirc, with the weather vane, which is blown
down on the body of the building. The fame
form, we find, has extended itf,elf as far as Lan.
caller, Chelter, Shrewtbury, and Manchetter,
but, we are happy to fay, that we flatter ourfelves
the hurricane has not reached far to the weftward,
as on Friday (the day after the form) two ;effels
.came in from fea with each a top-gallant yard
acrofs.
