LINCOLNSHIRE. 
‘Lhe following are the words of the adver- 
tifement of a Ball at’ Lincoln for the En- 
couragement of the Stuff Manufactory, an 
objet which deferves imitation in every ma- 
nufacturing diftrit in the kingdom. ‘¢ La- 
dies to be admitted gratis, on their appearing 
in a ftuff gown and petticoat, of the colour 
appointed by the patronefs, fpun, wove, and 
finifhed within the county, and producing a 
ticket figned by the weaver and dyer, at 
Louth 5 one of which tickets will be deliver- 
ed with every 12 yards of Stuff. Gentlemen 
to appear without filk or cotton in their 
drefs, ftockings excepted.” The patronefs 
of this patriotic inftitution is Mrs. CHAPLIN, 
of Blankney. 
The auctioneers of Liacolnfhire have adopt- 
ed a plan of giving credit at fales by auction, 
which, from its probable benefit to the feller, 
is likely to become general. At the clofe of 
the advertifement itis frequently flated, that 
credit may be had till fuch a day, on giving 
approved fecurity. This new fpecies of cre- 
dit is probably occafioned by the accommoda- 
tion afforded by the country banxs in the dif- 
counting of approved fecurities. 
The late ftorm of the 3d and 4th was fe- 
verely felt in Lincolnfhire. ‘The rain ren- 
dered the roads for fome hours impaffable, 
and the lightening was terrible and mifchiev- 
ous. At Laceby a poor man of the name of 
Swaby was miferably torn and disfigured by 
it, and his body converted into a deep black 
colour, fo as to be unknown to thofe who 
knew him alive. The Stamford Mercury ob- 
ferves, ‘*that his body was fuch a fpectacle 
as nature recoils at the remembrance of.” 
Applications are to be made at the next

lives for forging and uttering counterfeit 
Bank of England notes. They had concerted 
a defperate plan of efcape from goal, which 
was fruftrated by means of their fellow con- ©

death for forging the notes of the Bank of 
England after the difcovery of Mr. Alexander
