On Saturday, December 29, the Hoylake life-boat, in attempting to succour and relieve the people on board the ship Traveller, driven on shore in the Mersey, was overwhelmed in a dreadful sea, and eight out of ten of her crew were unfortunately drowned. The bodies were all found the same day, and carried to their respective homes, where the scene of piercing misery defies expression. The deceased were all near neighbours, and lived in a small village called the Hoose, near Hoylake, in the most brotherly kindness; these brave fellows were the flower of the Hoylake fishermen, and had always displayed the greatest promptitude and alacrity in assisting vessels in distress. They have left large families totally unprovided for.

The number of marriages registered in Boston church, in the year 1810, is 98; of baptisms 339; and of burials, 302. There have been also 16 persons buried in the ground attached to the dissenters' chapel. At a meeting of the commissioners of the Forty-foot Drain, held at Donington, for the purpose of taking into consideration the proposal made by the promoters of an intended canal between Stamford and Boston; the proposition of rendering the Forty-foot serviceable to the junction projected was acceded to; but the commissioners refused the application to allow the new cut from Stamford to fall into their canal at the point proposed by Mr. Telford; declaring that they would not suffer a junction to be formed between the new cut and the Forty-foot at a greater distance from the outfall than Hale Fen. At a late common hall of the corporation of Stamford, a petition respecting the appointment of a new place for holding the corn market, was taken into consideration. The petition recommended the area under the portico of the new shambles, as a space preferable to the present market-hill, as it was under shelter, was large enough for the purposes of the market, and had several recesses or boxes, which would be convenient to many persons, and be rented on terms of profit to the corporation. After some discussion, the question of the petition was put to the vote, and negatived. The corporation, however, desirous of doing all in their power for the reasonable accommodation of those frequent ing the market, immediately entered into a subscription among themselves (individually) for erecting a colonnade, or covering of some sort, over the market-hill, to obviate the inconvenience at present complained of. The Angel Inn, at Grantham, in this County, is subject to a rent charge of forty shillings, for a sermon against drunkenness, on the bequest of a Mr Solomon, who" looked upon that sin to be the inlet to almost all others " A party of 13 persons lately assembled at the dwelling-house of a person named VelJum, (an overlooker on the farm of Mr. Balthorp, of Gosberton,) to spend a Christmas evening, and to partake of the cheer incident to the killing of a large pig. The mother of Vellum had prepared some yule cakes, of which the party partook freely at tea. In a short time they all complained of being ill; and it was discovered that, in aking the cakes, Mrs. Vellum had mixed up with her paste a plateful of what she took to be simple flour, which she found on a shelf, but which her son declared to have been prin cipally white mercury, mixed fer sowing with wheat on his master's land. Their horror may be faintly conceived. Despair seized them all; and mental anguish adding to their bodily suffering, they lay down about the house, a they believed, to die. Medical assistance being procured, however, their lives were preserved, with the exception of one person whom the surgeon found dead; but it is expected to be some years before the others perfectly recover from the effects of the poison.
