: The Albion was one OF the finest class of ships
between Liverpool and New York. and was 500 tons
,lburhen. She had lived out the tremendous gale oil
the entire day on Sunday and captain Williams
consoled his passengers at O'Clock in the evening
with the hopes of being able to reach Liverpool on
the day but one after, which cheering expectation
; induced almost all the passengers, particularly the
females, to retire to rest In some short time, how
ever, the violent squall came on, which In moment
carried away the masts and there being no posi-
lbility of diseneaging them from the rigging they
: remembered the hull that she became unmanagea
ble and drifted at the mercy of the waves, till the
light house at the Old Head was discovered,--the
wreck still nearing in, when the captain told the sad
NEWS to the passengers, that there was no longer
lany hope and soon after, she struck. From thence
forward all was distress and confusion THE vessel
soon went to pieces and of the crew and passen-
gers, only six of the former and one OF the latter
were saved.

to the top of it, when another took him OIL: lie
