SEVERE GALE.

Extract-of a letter from a passenger from Cork -to
Gibraltar, by his Majesty's ship Albion, dated Gibral-
t4r, 80th October :
-,41 embarked along with the first division of the 42J
Regiment on Tuesday, the 18-Lh inst. about one-o'clock,
but the wind being foul, we did not sail t 11 twelve next
day; the wind was then fair as it could blow. We had
scarcely, however, got out of the harbour, when it be-
gan to blow very hard, and in the course of the. alter-
noon it became quite a hurricane. About sun-s?t, it
was found necessary to bring the ship's head to the
wind under a treble reef storm trysail, and allow her to
drift before the wind, which still continued perfectly
fair. In this way we spent the night, the sea frequently
breaking clear over us, and placing. the upper deck
guns under water. Next motning, tke storm, if.possi-
ble, increased, and the sea got much higher—the oldest
seamen on hoard declating they hed never before seen
such a 4 war of elements."fhe water was raised like
drifting str,w over the top of the waves, and carried
rapidly along on g the wings of the wind.' The reeling
and labouring of the v. ssel, lars;e as she is, was great,
and no less so was the incessant r:ia: ing c=f the tempest
among her cordage. Vtog.ether the scene at daybreak,
on Wednesd ty, the 19th, was one of indescribable
grandeur and sub:intity: About seven o'clock we were
obliged to cut away her best bower anchor, and half an
hour afterwards our wheel gave way, and nearly killed
two men out of six who were steering. No sooner had
this been repaired than the tiller, which was iron, broke
right in two about five feet from the rudder; this ren-
dered the ship perfectly unmanageable, and placed her
at the mercy of the waves during, four hours which it
took to ship another. The gale then (about 12 o'clock)
began to abate, when we again ventured our stern to
it, and to stand on our course, making about 11 knots
an hour, without one sail. The gale pursued us altoge-
ther three days and nights, after which we got into
smooth water. We arrived h -re on Wedne,day, the
26th, at four o'clock, P.M. making the voyage in seven
days and four hours, from the time we unmoored to the
time we cast anchor."

A girl, about 16, applied for advice. She stated that her father
and mother died a few years since. and that she afterwards went to
live with ber uncle, an innkeeper, in Northamptonshire, where she
lately got acquainted with a young man, whom she had since as-
certained was a servant to T. Denman, Esq. the Common Serjeant,
and whose family were then on a viiit in that part of the country—
that under a promise of marriage, he succeeded in effecting her
ruin, and she was ultimately induced, by his solicitations, to leave
her uncle's roof, and come with him to Londo►►. On their arrival
here, however, he deserted her, and left hrr to wander about the
streets in a state of the most complete wretchedness. On Monday
night she was accosted by an old woman, who appeared to pity her
misfortunes, and invited her to her house, in Shire-lane, which she
soon discovered to be o►►e of an improper description, and on her
refusing to consent to a life of prostitution, she was turned out of
doors, and her clothes detained until she paid the charge for her
board. Under these circumatances,she requested his Lordship would
use bis influence with her friends to induce them to receive her back
again.—His Lordship promised to render her every.assistance is his
power, and to write to Mr. Denman, i►►forming Lim of the rascally
conduct of his servant.
