LANCASHIRE. 
The inguifitive antiquarian now has an 
opportunity of gratifying himfelf with the 
examination of the traces of the intrench- 
ment thrown up by Prince Rupert when he 
laid fiege to Liverpool in the year 1644, and 
defcribed by Enfield in his Hiftory of that 
town. [tis fituated about twenty yards from 
the prefent London road, and oppofite the 
end of St. Ann’s-ftreet, on the eaft fide’ of a 
road, recently cut, leading to Rodney-ftreet. 
Here the rock has been evidently excavated, 
and filled up again with loofe earth. Other 
traces are difcernible in the field above, as 
well as on the other fide of a lane nearer the 
town, at the top ofanew ftreet (now planned) 
to be called Gloucefter-f:eet, and at the cor. 
ner of another Intended ftreet, to be denomi- 
nated Silver-ftreet, all juft below the cep- 
peras works, and on the fite of the old mill, 
blown down about the year 1795. There 
has likewife been traced, and may now be 
feen, as the workmen are removing the earth, 
the fituation of the fort or battery fo accu- 
rately pointed out by Enfield; and in the 
trench have been found many bones, broken 
glafs, old bricks, remnants of a wall, and 
Jeaden balls. The lower trenches mentioned 
by the fame writer, were difcovered, about 
fixty years ago, when the foundation of the 
infirmary was dug; and in them were found 
gardevin bottles, carteuches, and various 
other articles left behind by the befiegers. 
The mercantile intereft of Manchefter was 
Jately gratified by the arrival of a veflel of 
fifty tons burthen, direét from London to 
Manchefter by the Rochdale canal. She was 
Jaden with grain and other articles; and being 
the firft veffel that has come direét from 
London, fhe excited a confiderable degree of 
curiofity.
