‘On Thurfday, January the ewentyiare, 
the town of Manchefter was vifited by a huri- 
cane, tremendous in its fury,and more fevere 
‘than any of the kind ever remembered there 
before. It began about twelve o’clock on 
Wednefday night, and continued to‘rage un- 
remittingly tiil feven the following evening, 
when jts rigour abated... Much damage was 
done by the falling in of chimneys, &c.5 the 
work-houfes, gardensy hot. houfes, &c. fuf- 
fered confiderably, and feme lives were loft, 
Et was even dangerous to pafs the ftreets, from 
the continual fall of flates, bricks, ftones, 
éc. from-the roofs of houfes.—At Liverpool 
the ftorm was equally dreadful, blowing 
witha violence never bafore experienced there. 
Four fhips were funk in the river ; the crews 
faved with difficulty. Several houfes were 
blown dewn, and-great damage done to goods 
lodged in cellars, the water overflowing 
them, rifing, indeed, ten feet higher than the 
calculation-mark.—Great damage was like- 
wife done at Chefter, Halifax, Whitehaven, 
fle of Man, and many,other places + and, in- 
deed, the high wind was very general, though 
with lefs vielence, throughout England, on 
Wednefday night and Thurfday morning.— 
The damage donein Liverpoal was, itappears, 
to the following extent:—543 chimnies, 
“more than two-thirds blown down; 103 dead 
walls; 391 roofs; 26 houfes; one church, 
{at Sefton); feven veflels randed, and 14 
lives lot.—The effe&ts of the tempeft were 
likewife very dreadfully experienced on the 
north and weft coafts of England, generally, 
in a difaitrous crowd of veff=ls completely 
loft or caft away, which covered¢the thores. 
At a late meeting held at Todmorden, 
purfuant to public notice, for the purpofe of 
taking into confideration the piopriety of 
eftablifhing a market in the faid town, and 
for fixing a particular day on which the fame 
fhould be held, it was unanimoufly refolved, 
that it would be of confiderable utility to the 
faid town and neighbourhood that a market 
fhould be held in the fame, and that the moft 
proper day for holding the fame would be on 
Thurfday in each week; and the firft mar- 
ket was accordingly held there on Thurfday, 
the 4th of February. 
A very liberal fubfcription has been lately 
entered into at Blackburn. by the ladies and 
gentlemen of that town, towards the erection 
of an affembly-room and tavern, both to be 
built upon a large and elegant fcale of archi- 
te€ture. The fum of three thoufand pounds
