The gale al Liverpool on the 9th Oct. apnears
to have been most severe. An account OF some
Of the disasters it occasioned will be found IN

ton that the ship William Nelson. Captain Patt,
bound to New Orleans, which hal left the port
at eight O'Clock in the morning. and had good
olfing before the gale came on, was driven back
BY its violence towards the Banks, on which she
struck 10 the afternoon. She went to pieces dur.
ing the night, and all hands on board ESTIMATED
at 26 10 number,) persisted. Among thepassep.
gers were, Mr.. Semerville and his daughters.-
Mr. s. was an Englishman by birth, but had. for
many years, been attached to tho theatrical pro-
(ession in the United States. His daughters,
who were both under twenty years OF age. had
been educated in England. aud he had gone to
Liverpool for the purpose Of conveying them to
New. Orleans. Alas! the hapless father and his
poor children were doomed 70 perish in few
hours after leaving port which they had left in
the fitness Of hope and confidence. 1t is wor.
thy of remark, that Mr. Somer,ille. after putting
his luggage and theatrical dresses on board the
David Cannon, for New Orleans, was left behind
