Chester, Octo. 11. On Saturday, September 24, the Lively, a considerable Dublin trader, Captain Williams, master, sailed from Parkgate for Ireland with 140 passengers, mostly officers of the army, gentlemen and ladies, particularly the amiable Miss Catley, who had been engaged for one of the Dublin theatres. The vessel had also a cargo, computed to be worth 20,000l. All Saturday night it blew a very hard gale, and towards morning the weather became so exceedingly boisterous and stormy, that two colliers from Whitehaven, and two other ships were wrecked upon the coast of Anglesey, not far from Holyhead, and their crews all lost. On Sunday, September 25, early in the morning, a ship crowded with people was discerned off the island of Anglesey, in great distress; and about ten she bulged upon the rocks near to the Red-Wharf, where she was broken to pieces and every person in her perished.
