but the sales were in general rather dull.
On Tuesday Morning, at Portsinouth, the
mast of the S'quii.rd Frigate, Ciptain J. Strowri.4-No,
'was taken out. It eihibited the striking marks of
the singular' and potenC etreOs of, lightning. The
Sqiiirrel'was.striick :twice Wbile 'cruizing' on the
Coast of Africa : once in a 'tornado at
,Sene,gal, and
another time in. :.t thunder storm at Cape Coast: The
Litter Was far the most awful and destruffive. In both
'thef;e tremendous hurrielixes, 'the lightning.broke to
pieces two niaintop-ttmgtl, two royal-masts and two

having stove in its way a plank, and leosed all the

the Ship made eight inches of water an hour.: As it
darted from the mast to the main deck; it knocked
down the Master's Mate ; the shock deprived 'hitt

Many tradesmen have been lately defrauded by
a set, of • swindlers, :who employ a female that goes
about town in a yellow chariot : she &tiffany pays:
for .:the first articles, and then looks out a large par-
eel, and orders it to be sent home with a bill; when
the bill, however, is presented, Some excuse is
made, and payment is piltponel till tieitl day. To
everTsubsequent application the answer is, that .her
Ladyship is not at home; and thus the. goods, if left
in the first instance, are irrecoverably lost. ,The
parties who carry, on this system of swindling have
several houses in very respeCtible streets.
Wetaday sennight, at North Shields, the malt-
kiln at' the hrewerY of Mesirs; Fox, Nixon, and CO.
was discovered to be, on fire.. The alarm being,
given, tin.7:tkit,-engine3 soon artNekL with, 'which and
the great exertions of the populkit',,e, the fire Willi got
under in a short time, after little other damage than ,
consuming the roof. 'Rad not the lower part of the
kiln been fire-proof, it is supposed the damage would
have been much greater. 'Leo much' heat having
been applied to the :malt when drying, is stated to
have beeri the cause of the fire
