i [ ) f - L - We have Advice from Cherleftown in South Caroli- ra, that on the 4th of laft month, at halfefter two, P.M. & moft violent Whirlwind, of that kind commonly known by the name of Typhones, paffed down Afhley River and fell upon the fhipping in Rebellion road with fuch fury end violence ss to threaten the deft:ufion of . the whole fleet. This tetrible phznomenon was firk feen from the town coming ‘down Wappoo-Creek, re- fembling & ¢olumn of {moke and vapour, whofe mo- tion was very irregular and tumultuous and came with grest fwifinefs. The quantity of vepour which com- pofed this impetuous. column. and its prodigious velo- city, gave fuch = furprizing momentum gs to plough Afhley River to the boitom and lay the Channel bare; this occafioned fuch & fudden flux snd reflux as to float - many bosts, pettisugers, and even floops and {chooners which were bafore lying dry ata diftance from the tide. When it was coming down Afhley River it made a noife like conftant thunder ; its dismeter at that time was judged to be sbout 3eo fithoms, and its heightto be. 35 degrees ; it was met at White Point by another guft which ceme down Cooper’s River, but wasnot equal to the other ; but upon this meeting together the tumultuous sgitation of the sir was much greater, in- fomuch that the froth and vapour feemed to be. thrown up to the heighth of 40 degress, while the clouds that were driving in all dire&ions to this place feemed to be precipitated snd whirled round ac the fame time with incredible velocity : Juft efier this it fell upon the fhip- ping in the road, and was f[carce thres minutes in its paflage tho’ the diftance was near two leagues ; theré was 45 fail in the road, five of which were funk out- right, and his Majefty’s thip Dolphin with 11 others loft their mafts, &c. The damage to the (hipping, which is reckoned at £. 20,000 fterling was done slmoft’in- ftantaneoufly ; and fome of thofe that were funk were buried in the water fo fuddenly as lcarce togive time to thofe that were below to get upan deck ; and "iis re- markable that but 4 lives were loft in the road. The firong guft ‘which came down Caoper’s river checked the progrefs of that pillar of deftruftion from Wappoo creek, which had it kept its then diretion muft have driven the town of Charletown before it like chaff." This tremendous column was firft feen ebout noon, up- wards of 30 miles W.b S. from Churleftown, and has deftroyed in its courfe feveral houfes, Negro hutts, &c. on the plantations, and many both white people and negroes wetc killed or hurt, befiles many cattle have alfo been found dead in the ficlds.. In feveral parts of its courfe it left an avenue of great width, from which every ttee and fhrub was tore up ; great quantities of branches and limbs of trees were feen furioufly driven sbout and agitated in the body of the'column as it pafled along. .... The flect lying in _the road ready to fail for Europe, was the largeft and richeft that ever cleared out from Charleftown. By 4 o’clock the wind was quite fallen, the fky clearand ferens,fo that *twas fcarce credi- ble that fuch a dreadful [cene had been fo recently ex- hibited, were not the finking and difmantled veffels fo many . ftriking and nielancholy proofs of it. The fink- ing of the 5 fhips in the road was fo {udden, that it was queried, whether it was done by the immenfe weight of this column prefling them inftantaneoufly into the deep? or whether it was done by the water being forced fuddenly trom under them, and thereby letting them fink fo low asto beimmediately covered and ingulphed by the laternal mafs of water ? ... Moft of the difabled fhips were towed up to town the next dey, and Capt. Stott of the Scarborough is appointed to convey thole that are able” to put to fea in the room of the Dolphin, difabled, and will be ready to fail by the'12th of May. Letters from London mention s remarkable Effort for Liberty, carried on under the Eye of Mr. De Bzrdt, in favour of William Blsgdon of Halifax.........It is well known from whaiQuarter he received his Injuries. And it may cafily be remembred that Offences of fuch a Nature, were, 2t that Time, Jock’d upon here, as ir- remediable. Butitis now certsin,that the injured may, 5y fuitable Application, reccive Redrefs; fince Mr. gdon has, in his Cale, received One Thoufand Pounds Steritng Damages. . v Wfiear that on the 21ft of 1aft Month, {even Men, viz. Jofiah Johnfon,Ssmplon Hunt, Thomss, Silas, and Luke Oifood, and —— Mgors, all of Ervingfhire, and Tizniry Houlion of New Salem, being at the Falls above ee ficld, on the Fithing Defign, got into a Canoe, in order to crols th e River, bus the Canoe overfet juft above the rapid Water : Two of the Men, viz. Johnfon and Thom:s O'goodsresch’d = Rock and fav'd themfelves : The Violence of the Current took the others ; Moors was logd’d ona Rock down the firft Bar and taken off alive; Hunt and Silas Oigood were drowned ; Houl- ton and Luke Ofgood kept hold of the Canoe and were wanderfully preferved, being drove afhore a confider- able way down the River. We likewife hear that about a Month paft, a Wo- . man witha young Child in her Arms, left her Houfe i - orderto go toa Neighbours, but loft her path, and ftrag- gled none can tcil where for 2o Days, when fhe came in simoft ftarved, to a Houfe in No. 4 on Conneéticut River, about five Miles from her own Houfe, having fablifted on Rosts, Leaves, &c She ' buried her Child nfew Days afier fhe was loft. < Her Huofband and many People ot the neighbouring Towns went'in fedrch of her from Day to' Day, but could makeno Difcovery till the camgs in herf=lf, 3 Thuriday Morning laft fevera! Veffels arrived here in 22 Days from Quebec, by 'whom we learn, That the Garrilon at that Place were in good Health, and had been {0 ‘all Winter; having Plenty of Provifions and other Necefaries, A Receipt to make Sozp w‘{thdlt boiling, SET your leaches with hot water, put 20lb. ) of greafe into a kettle, with two pails full of ftrong lye, fet it over the fire until the greafe is well melted ;5 then take a barrel placing itin the yard, or any other open place where the fun may come toit, and filiit two thirds full of ftrong lye, and put the melted greafe and lye into it, boiling hot, ftirring it well together with a flick, and put in a pail full of wedk lye every day, continuing the ftirring of it untill the barrel is full, and in apout a week’s time you will have excellent Soap. [ The above method has been tried in feveral families in this town, and found to exceed any common Soap hitherto made by boiling, and will not be fubjeét to any dif- agreeable fmell by keeping ; 'befides, it will eafe many worthy families from the confufion and vexation which ufually attends the mak- ing of Soap in- the old way. ] Extraft of a Letter from a Gentleman i Bermuda, : dated April 28. 1761. —< It is now, and has been for a Month paft very Sickly in this Ifland, there being fcarce People enough well, to take care of the Sick.

March 1o. The difturbance in our neigh= boushood about balloting for & few vacancies in the mi- litis, hath already been mentioned®. The DeputyLieu- tenants and other Magiftrates prevailed onthe rioters to g0 quiefly home that night, viz. Saturday the 28th ult. Since which the pit men, waggon men, hufbandmen and fervants, in this country of Northumberland (for of fuch the'mob moftly confifted) having akenit intotheirheads; that the Durham people of their ftation had sll got clear of the militia, by the rife they had made ; on Monday the 2d inft. affembled in great numbers at Morpeth, and not-meeting with fuch indalgence as they expeled,! obliged the Deputy Licuténants and Juftices to quit their diaty for their own fafety, no military force being at hand. Then the rioters got all the lifts and books relative to the militia from the conflables, and tore or burnt them before their eyes. The next day they went to Whittingham, zo miles up the country; and ated in’ miich the fame manner. Flufhed with fuccels, and reinforced to 4 or 500, thty attempted the like ufage at Hexham yefterday : But the Juftices finding gentle methods would notavail, had ordered Sir R. Milbank’s battalion of the Yorkfhire militia up to Hexham the day, before from this town. About 11 o'clock the mob affem-; bled, and the militis were all drawn out before them: The Gentlemen fiill entreated the rioters to be quiet,but’ all to no purpofe, far they affaulted and ftruck feveral of the militis, though they had their piéces loaded and their bayonets fixéd. JIn fhort, the Juftices were obliged to réad the Riot A&, and though they aliowed the nob neer an haur sfter to difperfe; the militia were atlaf ordered to fire among them three times. ~ The firft fire they fent into the gir, the next among their legs ; bu:‘ the mob being' not yet intimidated, they were ‘ordered tolevel the third fire. Nineteen perfons were killed om the fpot, and about fifty wounded. - Enfign Hart of the militia and a private man were slfo killed. There has not been fucg coumry. - However, it isto be hoped the worltis-aver, us they ate now pretty well fettléd again. Major Crow, who commanded the militia; is much commefided for his gallant, as well a3 his hunian behaviour, on this o8 cafion. W : ' : ® See the firff Page: u fcenc of Blood fhed this century in this’
