PHILADELPHI A, June 4.
By a vessel from Barbadoes we learn, that a
fleet of victuallers arrived there in expectation of
finding the British army from New-York, but were
so much disappointed, that many of them carried
their provisions back, and others fold their flour
from 16s. to 255. per barrel. When the above
vessel left Barbadoes, there were not less than
60,000 barrels of flour afloat on board the fleet
laying at Bridge-Town.
It is generally believed, that the masters ofvef
fels will be immediately ordered to report the
names of all passengers they bring from foreign
parts, or even take up at sea; a prudent measure,
which, by preventing many evils, must produce
much negative good. The lifts will no doubt be
left at the coffee house for publick infpedion.
A remarkable meteor was observed at Rich
mond, in Virginia, on Saturday the 31st ult. in
the afternoon; and, from the violent explosion, it
is conjectured that it must have fallen fomewh'ere
near Petersburg, where it was felt more violent.
Its direction appeared to be from north to south.

coud not, because they would take only what they
wa # e welcome to: And yet, under such singular
circumstances, order reigned ambngft his servants,
reguhrity in his house, and honesty in his neigh
bourhood. He possessed perfect good humour and
philanthropy, never harbouring anger against any
persons but egregious misers, opprenors of the
poor, and such of his numerous acquaintance, as
he might have heard had at any time passed by his
house, without calling in to partake of his hospi
tality." This may be a singular character; but if
it is, it is a singular good chara^er, in which the
world ought to rejoice, because it does honour to
human nature.
