At Newark, Miss Mary Cooper. 
At Beeston, Miss Sarah Lacey, 27. 
At Bingham, Mr. Pilgrim, many years 
master of the Royal Oak. 
At Retford, John Bragge, gent. 70. The 
circumstances attending his death were ra- 
ther extraordinary. The sister of Dénis 
Frith, an attorney at East Retford, a young 
accomplished lady, felt or feigned a'passion 
tor Mr. Bragge, in consequence of which, she 
addressed several letters to him, in the loving 
style, which the gallant unfortunately never 
thought proper to answer. Denis Frith, en- 
Faved that his sister’s affections should meet 
with no better return, and anxious to do away 
the disgrace, as he termed jt, went to Mr. 
Brag ge’s house, and reproached bim with the 
} mpropriety of his conduct. From words 
they fell ta blows; when Frith repeatedly 
struck the old man over the head, breas*, 
and legs, with a thick cane which he held in 
his hand. In consequence of the wounds 
Mr. Bragge received, he was confined to his 
bed, and languished for some days, when he 
expired. The Coroner’s Jury returned a/vere 
dict of -—Died of mortal bruises given him by 
Frith. The latter has since absconded. 
LINCOLNSHIRE. 
Application is intended to be made to par- 
liament in the ensuing session, for acts for 
enclosing the commons and waste-lands in 
the borough and parish cf Boston, and in the 
parish of Fishtoft. 
During a tremendous storm, in the night 
of Thursday, August 10th, about twelve 
o’clock, a cottage, and one or two other small 
buildings near Grimsby, were struck with 
the lightning, and consumed. The Dwina, 
Capt. Pigot, which arrived at Grimsby the 
preceding day, from Maita and Messina, with 
a cargo of currants and Spanish liquorice, was 
struck with lightning, and immedister ly the. 
quarter.deck was in a blaze. There were 
four or five men and a boy on baa at the. 
time, ail of whom, excepting the boy, made 
their escape in time; but the poor lad was 
burnt. The fire continued tw rage with great 
fury till the vessel was burnt to the water’s 
edge. The whole cargo, which was consign- 
edto Messrs. Todd and Popple, of Hull, was 
worth between 6 and 70001. about a sixth 
part of which had been delivered. The 
ship, which carried about 300 tons, was worth 
at least SOOO]. Fortunately there were no 
ether vessels near the spot where the Dwina: 
was moored, nor did the fire communicate to 
the contiguous warehouses; bet owing to 
the extreme violence of the Soars the awful 
spectacle of the burning ship, and the near 
contiguity of the beaks and other build- 
ings on the wharf, the inhabitants of the 
marches were thrown into a state of conster- 
mation which may he. better ‘conceived than 
described.
