PORTSMOUTH, October 28th, 1770.
The following Character come too late for last Week's Paper. ON Friday last were inter'd the Remains of the Honorable BENNING WENTWORTH , Esq; the late worthy GOVERNOR of this Province, in the 75th Year of his Age. The Regiment was under Arms on this Occasion, the Honorable, Free, and Accepted Masons walking before the Corpse, to Queen's-Chappel, where a SERMON suitable to the Solemnity was preached by the Reverend Mr. ARTHUR BROWN .
During the Procession, Minute Guns were fired from His MAJESTY's Castle-William and Mary; after which he was inter'd in a new Tomb lately built for his Family.
He had been Commander in Chief of this Province, and Surveyor General of his Majesty's Woods, from the 15th Year of the Reign of his late Majesty, King GEORGE the Second, and so faithful was he to his Trust, that he continued in Favor with his Sovereign, till his Decease; and also until the Seventh Year of the Reign of his present Majesty, King GEORGE the Third—perhaps a longer space of Time than any Governor in America before him;—when by Reason of his advanced Age, and Indisposition of Body, he voluntarily Resig'd the Government in June 1767, and was succeeded by his Nephew, JOHN WENTWORTH Esq; our present worthy Governor.
He was a Gentleman descended from an honorable Family in England—His Father, the Honorable JOHN WENTWORTH , Esq; was Lieutenant-Governor of this Province, while under the same Governor with the Massachusetts Government, and sundry Years Commander in Chief.
In early Life he was engaged largely in Merchantile Business, which he discharged with Uprightness, and to general Satisfaction, till by repeated Misfortunes, he was obliged to lay it aside.
He was also a Gentleman blest with good natural Abilities, improved by a liberal Education, and an extensive Acquaintance with the World.
He was of a pleasant, affable, free and social Disposition.
His general Behavior, polite and genteel Address in private Life, endeared him to his Acquaintance; and the high Character he bore among Mankind in general, who had any Knowledge of him, while here and in Foreign Parts, together with other Qualifications, no Doubt, were Means of his finding Favour in the Eyes of his Sovereign—which Favour continued so long, that he was honored with the high Office of being at the Head of this Government, near Twenty Seven Years, which Employment he filled with Dignity, and endeavored to discharge that important Trust with Fidelity to his Sovereign, and Faithfulness to the People whom he govern'd.
He was steady in his Friendship, of a benevolent Disposition, a tender Husband, an indulgent Father, and a kind Master.
He was twice married;—by his first Wife he had three Sons, who arrived to Manhood, but all died before him.—By his Lady who now survives him, he had two Children, who both died in Infancy, so that he has left no Issue.—He has by Will, left his LADY a handsome FORTUNE.
PHILADELPHIA, Octob. 15. 1770.
On Sunday last the Presbyterian Church was hung in black, in testimony of their regard for the Rev. Mr. Whitefield , and a Sermon, suitable to the occasion, was preached by the Rev. Mr. Spoor , from Acts xi. 24. For he was a good Man, and full of the Holy Ghost, and of Faith; and much People were added unto the Lord.
N E W - Y O R K, Octob. 22.
On Sunday the 14th inst. Sermons were preached in both the Presbyterian Churches in this City, on the mournful occasion of the Rev. Mr. Whitefield's death, by the Rev. Dr. Rodgers , from Matt. xxv. 21. His Lord said unto him, well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.—Which passage of scripture he applied with great propriety to the character and reward of that eminent servant of Christ.—The Rev. Mr. Treat also took proper notice of this melancholy event.
On Tuesday morning the Right Hon. JOHN EARL OF DUNMORE , our Governor, arrived at the Narrows in his Majesty's Ship the Tweed . About 3 o'clock in the afternoon his Excellency came up in a Barge and landed at the Stairs at Whitehall: on landing the Battery guns were fired, and all the ships in the harbor displayed their colors: a croud assembly of all ranks attended him, from Whitehall to the Council-Chamber, in Fort-George, with repeated loud huzzas, and the utmost joy appeared in every countenance. The next day at the Council Board, his Commission was read, and the oaths administered. After which he went, attended by his Majesty's Council, the Corporation, the Clergy, and most of the principal Gentlemen of the Town, with continual huzzas, and every demonstration of joy, to the City-Hall; the Windows and the Streets thro' which he passed, being crowded with Ladies: his Commission was there published to the Inhabitants, who testified their approbation by repeated huzzas.
A number of Gentlemen had a genteel Dinner at Hampden-hall, where these Toasts were drank, viz. 1. The King. 2. The Queen, Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family. 3. The Right Hon. the Earl of Dunmore. 4. A total abolition of all party-spirit, by the just and equitable administration of the Earl of Dunmore. 5. Great Britain and her Colonies. 6. The Navy and Army. 7. The preceising Lords and dissenting Commons. Unanimity to the Colonies to the latest posterity. All the Friends of America in Great Britain, Ireland & the Colonies. 10. More public Virtue and Integrity thro' out the British empire. 11. Lord Chatham. 12. Lord Camden. 13. Sir George Saville. 14. General Conway. 15. Colonel Barre. 16. Mr. Burke. 17. The freedom of Elections. 18. The Liberty of the Press.
In the evening the Gentlemen at Hampden hall, had a large fire erected in the Commons, where was assembled the greatest number of people ever seen on the like occasion. Most of the Houses were handsomely illuminated, & a genteel Ball was given by the Gentlemen of the Town & Army, at Bolton's.
The General Assembly of Pennsylvania, now sitting, have ap-
pointed Benjamin Franklin , Esq; sole Agent for that Province, at the Court of Great Britain for the ensuing year.
N E W P O R T, October 15.
Last Tuesday Morning about 4 o'Clock died, at South-Kingstown, in the 35th Year of his Age, OLIVER ARNOLD , Esq;—A Gentleman who for several Years past sustained the Office of Attorney-General of this Colony with great Honor to himself & Advantage to the Public; and whose modest Firmness, inflexible Integrity, and Humanity of Heart, rendered his Character highly worthy the Imitation of all his Brethren of the Bar, and his Death a real Loss to Society.
Thursday Morning last, came on before the Superior Court, at South-Kingstown, the Trial of Samuel Casey , who was indicted for Felony, in making and uttering counterfeit Dollars. The Trial lasted till 8 o'Clock in the Evening, when the Jury went out, who did not agree till near 4 in the Morning. They brought in their Verdict Not Guilty; Upon which the Court told them, that their Verdict was to contrary to Law and Evidence, that it could not be accepted, and they were sent out again; and between Two and Three o'Clock in the Afternoon returned a special Verdict, which was accepted by the Court.
On Saturday, before the Court came on the trial of Thomas Clark , who was indicted as a Cheat, in passing such Dollars. The Jury having withdrawn about an hour brought him in Guilty.
The Grand Jury have found Bills against Sam. Willson , and William Reynolds , who were indicted for Felony for the same Crime; and it is expected several others will be proceeded against as Cheats.
A Correspondent at North-Wood-flock informs us, that Miss Levina Child , a young Woman of that Neighbourhood, spun one Day last Week 115 and an half Knots of good Woolen Yarn; an Instance of Industry highly worthy of Imitation.
The following Instance of a remarkable Increase comes well attested.—In the Garden of Mr. Coomer Hale , of this Town, were produced the last Season, from a single Seed that casually took Root, 245 Squashes weighing on an Average 14 Ounces each, besides 60 small ones; in the Whole 305.
NEWPORT RHODE-ISLAND October 20
At the Superior Court held for King's County, on Thursday last, Samuel Casey , of South-Kingstown, received Sentence of Death, for making and passing counterfeit Money. Samuel Wilson , of the same Town, was sentenced to stand in the Pillory, be branded on both Cheeks, have both Ears cropped, and pay a Fine of Six Hundred Pounds Lawful Money. William Reynolds , of Richmond, was sentenced to stand in the Pillory, have both Ears cropped, and pay a Fine of Three Hundred Pounds Lawful Money. Thomas Clark , of the same Town, was sentenced to stand in the Pillory, be branded on both Cheeks, have both Ears cropped, and pay a Fine of One Hundred Pounds Lawful Money. Eliza Reynolds was sentenced to stand in the Pillory, and to be whipped Thirty-nine Lashes; all for the like Crime.
N E W P O R T, October 22.
The sentence of those who are pilloried, &c. are to be executed on Little-Red-Hill, next Friday. Sundry persons stand recognized over to next Term, upon suspicion of being concerned in counterfeiting Gold and Silver Coins.—A more horrid and extensive combination to defraud the public, has never been heard of in New-England.
In a Field at Little Red has been found a set of Instruments belonging to Samuel Casey , for coining and milling Josephuses of 1756, 1760, and 1763; and for Dollars of 1766, and 1767; and at Tower-Hill, a set was found hid in a stone-wall, belonging to Samuel Wilson , for coining, stamping and milling Dollars dated 1743, 1753, 1764, 1769, and Pistereens, of 1755. All the Instruments found have been brought to this town, except the two Presses used in stamping, which weigh 20,000 wt.
Though Casey and Willson had every thing necessary for counterfeiting all the above dates, the following dates have not been found to be counterfeited in this town, viz. Dollars, 1748, 1763; and Pistereens, 1755; the others have.
Last Saturday we had here a violent storm of Wind and Rain, from N. E. to N. in which the spindle of Trinity Church was broke off a little below the upper Ball, but was prevented falling to the ground by the electrical rods with which the Church is furnished; two or three stores and stables were blown down, and several Vessels were drove ashore in different parts of this Harbour, and have received considerable damage. 'Tis expected many Vessels are driven ashore in other parts which were more open to the storm.
Capt. David Sowell is arrived at Dartmouth from a Whaling Voyage, and bro't in 320 Bairs, and for want of Casks, had given away part of a Whale.
B O S T O N, October 29.
Further Particulars of the Storm on the 20 Instant. The Tide rose about Noon to such a height that it overflowed most of the Wharves in this Town; the Water came up into King-street as far as Admiral Vernon's Head Tavern, as also into Dock-square, about the Draw-Bridge, and into the Streets at the South and North Parts of the Town, that were nearest the Sea-side, so that it ran not only into the Cellars, but into the Shops and Rooms of Dwelling-Houses, obliging several Families to retire up into Chambers: Many Stores on the Wharves were almost filled with Water.
From the Southward we learn, that great Damage was done along that Shore: A Brig belonging to Providence and a Schooner to Newport, from Whaling, were cast away at Tarpaulin-Cove:—Capt. Scott from Turks-Island for this Place, laden with Salt, was drove ashore the Back of Cape-Cod, at Eastham:—A Rhode-Island Sloop from Whaling, ashore near the same Place: A Sloop belonging to Plymouth ashore at Race-Point: The People belonging to these Vessels were saved.—At Plymouth, a Number of Vessels drove ashore, one of which was Capt. Ellis , from Rhode-Island; but the Account in Monday's Papers, that 40 or 50 Lives were lost there, is a Mistake; only two dead Bodies had been found drowned, these it was supposed belonged to some Eastern Coaster. Several other Vessels it is said are ashore and some sunk, but we cannot learn what they are. Many that we were in fear of, have since heard they are safe.—At Hingham all their small Vessels drove ashore, one or two of about 45 Tons, was floated on to a Wharf which at common Tides the Water never rose so high as the top of the Wharf.—A small Fishing-Boat was sunk between Nantasket and Hingham, the small Pump, a Mast that had been cut away, & Boat or Canoe, drove ashore, the other Mast held to the Rigging of the Boat that sunk.—A Fisherman was washed ashore on the Beach, but they cannot tell who he is, or where he belonged, he was a large Man, above 6 Feet in length, had on thick Boots, an under and outer Jacket, had in his Trowsers Pocket only a Fish-hook and a small Knife with two Letters cut on the Handle, but our Informer could not recollect, what the Letters were.
The greatest damage sustained at the Southward was the washing away the Hay from the Meadows, spoiling the Sugars and Salt in Stores, carrying off the Cord-Wood, &c. from the Wharves, blowing down Stores, Sheds, Barns, Fences, Trees, and carrying off the Roofs of Houses.
Far Eastward we don't learn that any great Damage was done. At Piscataqua, Cape-Ann and Newbury some Stores were hurt, &c. A new Ship coming out of Newbury-port, Capt. Dunlap , bound for this Place, was drove on Plumb-Island, and in her way drove a Sloop to pieces belonging to Newbury.
Last Thursday being the Anniversary of His Majesty's Accession to the Throne, when he entered the Eleventh Year of his Reign, the Guns at his Majesty's Castle William, also those at the Batteries in this Town, were fired at Noon; and at One o'Clock those on board his Majesty's Ships of War now in the Harbour: The Company of the Train of Artillery, belonging to the Regiment of Militia in this Town, being mustered to compleat their four Trainings, likewise fired their Field Pieces on the above Occasion.
The Superior Court of Judicature, Court of Assize and General Goal delivery, met at the Court-House in this Town on Tuesday last, according to Adjournment; and on Wednesday Morning began the Trial of Capt. Prescott , which was continued each Day till Saturday Afternoon, when the Court adjourned to this Morning at 8 o'Clock, in order to proceed with the said Trial: The Jury, (which consists of Inhabitants both of Town and Country) has not been permitted to separate during all this Time.
The Saint's Death-Warrant. An ACROSTICK.
G O! go, PHILANTHROP! mount thy natives Skies; Eternal Mansions wait thy longing Eyes. O n Wings cherubic rise, as Earth retires; R eedeem Love now crowns thy vast Desires; G ives Audit, and Applause, while blissful Hosts E xpect thy landing on the heav'nly Coasts.
W elcome! thrice welcome to these happy Shores! H eav'n opens to thy Wish its boundless Stores. I n Paths of Vice let giddy Mortals run; T hy Labours taught 'em the dark Road to shun. E nough, thy tollful Days! thy sleepless Nights! F rom hence, prepare for more angelic Flights: I n Strains celestial join the Choir above, E njoy the Raptures of seraphic Love: L et Earth, all-craving, repossess the Clay, D EATH is thy Portal to ETERNAL DAY.
† Philanthrop is a Name compounded of two Greek Words; and as it signifies a Lover of Mankind, is truly characteristic of the Person above pointed out.
PHILADELPHIA, October 11.
The Beginning of August last departed this Life at Pilesgrove, in West New-Jersey, Mr. MOUNCE KEEN , aged 105 Years, and 8 Months. He was born of Sneedish Parents, at Chester, in Pennsylvania, and always enjoyed his Health and Understanding well, till within the few last Years of his Life. About three Years before his Death, he rode alone three Miles, and home again.

PORTSMOUTH, November 2.
We hear from the Isle of Shoals, that considerable Damage was sustained there in the late Storm, on the 20th of November, in particular, a Schooner belonging to Kittery, fishing out of the Shoals, was stow to Pieces on the Rocks near Thatcher's Island, the Skipper, one Benjamin Parsons, and one of the Men drowne. Another Schooner was stow to Pieces on the Eastern Point of Duck-Island, the Skipper drowne, the Rest got on Shore, with their Arms, Legs, &c. much bruised....Several Vessels which were Riding at Anchor in the Shoals Road, funk to the Bottom at their Moorings. Three or Four small Schooners are yet missing, and 'tis feared are lost.
Four Men belonging to Rye, who were out in the Storm in a small Boat, have not yet been heard of, and are undoubtedly lost:---their Names were all Saunders.
