| LINCOLNSHIRE. 
The high wind which prevailed on Saturs 
day, November 10, may in its consequences 
be regarded as the most awful visitation with 
which this county has ever been afflicted. 
The ruinous calamity preduced by the gale 
has been two fold: at sea and on shore its 
effects have been so extensively fatal, that in 
the estimate of injury suffered, it is impossi- 
ble yet to say whether the adventurous mati- 
neror the peaceful husbandman has tie greater 
weight of afiliction to sustains The accounts 
from all the towns in the east of the county 
are of a very melancholy cast, but the seat and. 
centre of distress seems to be the town of 
Boston. A tremendous gale, from the east 
ws experienced there throughout Saturday 2. 
it Set directly into-the mouth of the haven; 
and the consequence was, that the evening 
tide camein with that irresistible force which 
an accumulated irapetus of twelve hours* 
continuance must necessarily give it. What 
is called the eagre of the tide, althoughex- 
pected to be stronger than usual, astonished 
thuse who saw it come up the channel, ana 
was the harbinger of dreadful mischief. By- 
seven o'clock the tide had risen higher by | 
four inches than upon any preceding occasion 
upon record, and had filled the houses in 
many streets to a considerable depth with, 
water. At this height it continued forabout 
an hour, without perceptible change. The — 
cause of this extraordinary effect was, that the: 
tide had overtopped its barriers, the banks of 
the channel were insufficient to hald it, ang 
being invaded by the overfalling surge on the. 
land side, yielded to the action of the flood. 
Friskney and Leverton new sea banks were 
broken in many places; Frieston new baal 
entirely swept away, and the old bank in that 
parish demolished in various parts; as alsq 
are Boston east old bank, and the banks at 
Skirbeck Quarter, Wyberton, Frampton, ang 
Fosdyke. By these several breaché of banka — 
the tide got vent in a new and less straitened 
channel, and the whole surrounding country. 
was deluged by the sea. Had the banks been 
sufficiently high to have confined the tide in 
its accustomed course, the town of Boston, it 
is probable, would have been utterly ruined, 
for the water would have risen some feet 
higher in it, and have washed down and de- 
stroyed every thing. The distress whick 
this fierce and unlooked-for invasion of the 
neighbouring lands occasioned, is beyond alt 
description. The flood swept cattle and 
every thing before it in its progress to find a 
aie : vAevel ; and the bursting of the water through 
47-46, he volunteered his services in the Duke pe aps 
pertures of the banks, as those barrierg
