The high wind which prevailed on Sature 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 produced 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 mariner or the peaceful husbandman has the greater weight of affliction to sustain. 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 was experienced there throughout Saturday: it set directly into the mouth of the haven; and the consequence was, that the evening tide came in with that irresistible force which an accumulated impetus of twelve hours continuance must necessarily give it. What is called the eagre of the tide, although expected to be stronger than usual, astonished those who saw it come up the channel, and 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 for about 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 hold it, and 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 bank 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, and Fosdyke. By these several breaches of banks 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 its accustomed course, the town of Buston, it is probable, would have been utterly ruined, for the water would have risen some feet higher in it, and have washed down and destroyed every thing. The distress which this fierce and unlooked-for invasion of the neighbouring lands occasioned, is beyond all description. The flood swept cattle and every thing before it in its progress to find a level; and the bursting of the water through the apertures of the banks, as those barriers successively gave way, added a noise like thundef thunder to the horrors of the night. The inhabitants of many farin-houses were environed by the water before they knew of danger, and escape was impossible, had the formation of the country permitted any exemption from the inundation; owing, how ever, to its unvariable flatness, there is not, in several parishes, a foot of ground unflooded. The consternation and affliction produced by this event can scarcely he imagined, and much less adequately described: the whole Country about Boston, to the north and south of that town, has experienced this overwhelming calamity; the lands on the eastern side have been saved, in consequence of those capacious drains, Hob-hole, and Maud Foster, (heretofore condemned as useless,) having received the weight of waters. It is impossible yet to be very accurate in stating the beads of loss sustained; but the number of sheep drowned in the distressed tract of country between Wainfleet and Sutterton (to which latter town the inundation extended southwardly) is computed at 15,000; besides many horses and other cattle. Implements of every description have been swept in a general wreck; stacks of corn and nay to a great amount carried like litter over the counary; and the hopes of the husbandman blasted, not merely for the present, but, on account of the ponds, wells, and ditches, being, with oat exception filled with salt water, for a considerable time in the future. At Fosdyke the tide came upon the lands so suddenly, that a servant maid of Mr. Birkett, of that place, was surrounded by the sea, whilst milking the cows in a pasture not far from the house, and perished before assistance could be given. Another person of that parish an elderly woman, was in the course of the night washed out of an upper window of her cottage, and drowned. At Fishtoft, Mr. Smith Jessop lost his life in endeavouring to rescue some of his father's sheep. His death was not less extraordinary than that of the other two persons above mention ed. About seven o'clock in the evening, his father, looking out into the storm, mis. took the approaching deluge from the sea for a fall of snow on the pastures, and exclaimed to his son, that care should be taken of some sheep. The latter immediately went forth, and before he had recovered from his astonishment at the coming waters, fell a sacrifice to them, by getting out of his depth. Plomer's hotel at Frieston shore, was for a long time expected to be completely washed away. The great bow-window was forced from the building by the water, and carried to the distance of several fields. The houses of Mr. Keall and Mr. Dickinson, of Wyberton, have been nearly demoJished; and many others much damaged. Small tenements, and barns and sheds, have shared a common destruction in several parishes. The water continues to be at least two feet deep on the lands, in general; and when it will be got rid of can hardly be cat culated. Not less than 20,000 acres of the richest land in England are in this situation. The water runs over the London road in several places within seven miles of Boston; it is in some situations a foot deep on the road. Almost all the land to the right of that line, and some on the left, is flouded; and the wind gives the vast expanse of water an undulatory motion, which makes it in every thing resem ble a sea. The performance of divine service, on Sunday, in the parish church of Boston, was prevented, by the tide on the preceding evening having completely flooded the extensive area appropriated to public worship. The water from the river, entering chiefly at the western door, and partly at the southern, covered the whole floor of the church, as far as the steps into the chancef; and in the northern aisle, to a considerable depth. The height of the water against the western end of the steeple, was two feet eight inches and a half. That beautiful fabric, the steeple, has sustained no injury from the gale; of the church, part of the florid parapet on the external roof, between the body of the building and the chancel, has been blown down: the injury is not extensive. In October, 1793, the tide at Bofton flowed remarkably high; on the 30th of September, 1807, it flowed seven inches higher than at that time; and on Saturday it attained a height exceeding by four inches and a half the tide of 1807. A barge drifted over the bank near the Scalp, and may now be seen in the midst of the pastures, with the sheep grazing round her. Three vessels of burden were driven up the Wathway by the tide, nearly as far as Fosdyke Inn; one, the Ann, (Cartwright, master,) was carried into the Marsh, half a mile from the Fosdyke Channel. A large hay-stack, on the farm of Mr.. Day, of Frieston, (near the shore-houses,) was moved entire by the tide, from one end of a pasture to the other, (a distance of 3 or 400 yards,) and now stands erect and perfect! At Wisbech the gale was severely felt: the tide rose to an unusual height, and flowed with such rapidity, that several craft loaded with grain broke from their moorings, and sunk. The banks in several places were overflowed, and the lands near the town inundated. Several of the inhabitants have sustained a serious loss, as the warehouses and other buildings, near the river, were filled with salt water. It is computed that there are nearly 300 trees blown down by the side of the road between Leicester and Stamford; and trees in Purghley, Grimsthorpe. Exton, and Walcot parks, to the number of several hundreds. The losses at sea have been truly dreadful alt along the coast; the number of vessels wrecked between the Humber and Buston Deeps only, being estimated at no less than forty.
