LANCASHIRE, _ 
On Saturday, Sept. 18, the Rochdale canal 
was opened into Boece. on which occafion 
the Travis yacht paffed through the newly- 
finifhed lock at Lomefide, about eight miles 
from Manchetter, where a warehoufe is build- 
ing for the reception of Manchefter goods.— 
The fhortnefs of the land-carriage by the 
above conveyance will not only greatly accom- 
snodate the trade of Manchefter, but furnifh 
alfo an immediate and confiderable fupply of

brought to Rochdale; andthe tonnage upon 
them has fo rapidly increafed, that more coale 
veffels have pafled the Aiamiant lock at Sow- 
erby during three weeks lately, than have done 
The cutting 
and mafoning between Lomefide and Failf- 
worth is now executing, and the period i is not 
far diftant when the public will receive the 
long and much-wifhed for benefits of a com- 
plete water-communication bet ween Manchef- 
ter and Hull, by means of the Rochdale ca- 
nal. » 
A new life-boat, conftructed and built on 
the moft approved principles, by Mr. Richard 
Bufhel, was lately launched from his yard at 
Liverpool. From the experiments made, it 
appears to anfwer the moft fanguine expecta 
tions. It is fo perfe€tly buoyant, thatit feems 
impoffible to fink it, though filled with peo- 
ple, and water-logged. 
An application is intended to be made to 
Parliament in the enfuing feffion, to obtain an 
at to repair and improve the fects! &c. of 
Liverpool. 
At Liverpool, Lancafhire,on Tuefday, S:p- 
tember 14, a difaftrous and deftruétive fire 
broke out in the warehoufes belonging to T. 
France, efg. at Goree, wnofe fpacious and 
lofty front has long attra€ted the admiration 
‘of rangers, and which was not furpaffed in 
magnitude, by any fimilar ffru€iure in the 
kingdom, The celebrated warehoufes at An- 
twerp, as well as thofe at Venice, equally 
famous, were neither fo lofty nor commodious 
as this warehoufe, or rathex this pile of ware~ 
houfes, About yo o'clock in the evening a 
f{moke was obferved to iffue from a room in 
the warehoufe, and though for a time appear~ 
ances feemed to juftify a hope that the mif- 
chief might be fubdued without much effort, . 
no fooner were the doors and windows of the 
building forced, than the flames, which had 
been fmothered, burft out with horrid fury, 
extending ieeie Tavages in every direction 
with equal rapidity and violence, and exhi- 
biting a {peétacle of folemn grandeur, a fcene 
fublime, térrific, and of fuch majeftic horror, 
as no tongue nor pencil can defcribe. Ina few 
hours that immenfe pile, together with the 
large and commodious range of warehoufes 
which was ereéted in front, at the diftance of 
_fixteen yards, as well as that which extends 
from it, ina line to Water-ftreet, was a heap 
of ruins, and a great proportion of all that rich 
and various produce with which every apart- 
ment of thefe buildings had been ftored-and 
crowded, was confumed. The whole number 
of eerenonce deftroyed is about thirty, from 
fix to thirteen ftories high, and of a propor- 
tionable depth, though Biliing’s Liverpool 
Advertifer mentions only feventeen! The tide 
being fortunately at flood, it afforded an cp- 
portunity to the fhipping to remove beyond 
the reach of the flames. Nota fingle indivi-
