BOSTON, May 29. Yesterday being GENERAL ELECTION, the gentlemen returned to serve as Senators and Representatives in General Court, met at the State-House in this town, agreeable to the Constitution, and took the oaths, and subscribed the declaration required, before the Governor and Council for the time being, who then withdrew: the Senate made choice of the Hon. SAMUEL PHILIPS, jun. Esq. for their President, and Mr. SAMUEL COOPER, for their Clerk; and the House of Representatives chose the Hon. THEODORE SEDGWICK, Esq. Speaker, and GEORGE R. MINOT, Esq. Clerk;—and being again joined by the Governor and Council (who were escorted to the State-House by the company of Independent Cadets, commanded by Col. BRADFORD) they proceeded to the Old-Brick Meeting-House, where a sermon well adapted to the occasion, was delivered by the Rev. Mr. PARSONS, of Amherst, from Prov. xxix. 2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn. In the afternoon the two Branches of the General Court again met, and the Senate having examined the returns of the votes for Senators and Counsellors, they informed the House of Representatives, that there were a number of vacancies, by reason of deficiencies in the elections; whereupon the two Houses met in Convention, to fill up the vacancies according to the Constitution.
A great number of the gentlemen elected to serve in the General Court, the ensuing year, arrived in town yesterday.—From a general knowledge of their characters, we derive a pleasing satisfaction that old Massachusetts will be blessed with wise, prudent and Federal Rulers for the coming year.
A considerable number of votes for Governor, &c. have, we are told, been lost this year, owing to their not having been returned in season into the Secretary's office.—It is said, that had all the votes been returned, there would have been a decided choice of Lieutenant-Governor, and a more general choice of Senators. The numbers of votes for the candidates for the office of Lieutenant Governor, as returned, we are told, are nearly as follows:
Hon. BENJAMIN LINCOLN 10,000 Hon. JAMES WARREN 6,000 Hon. SAMUEL ADAMS 3,400 Hon. ELBRIDGE GERRY 600
NEW-YORK, June 5. From the Pennsylvania Packet of the 3d inst.
A Gentleman who arrived in town yesterday, from Baltimore, has favored us with the following IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE:
"Baltimore, May 31, 1788. The sloop George, Capt. Chace, which carried the account of the ratification of the Federal Constitution by this state to South-Carolina, is just returned, and has brought the following interesting information:
"ON the 23d inst. at five o'clock in the evening, the question was put, that the Convention assent to and ratify the Federal Constitution for the United States of America, upon which the votes stood as follows:
For the ratification, 149 Against it, 73 Majority, 76
South-Carolina is the EIGHTH STATE which has ratified the Constitution; and as it appears, from the best authority, that Virginia is well disposed to its adoption, and is to meet in Convention on Monday next, we may flatter ourselves she will make the Ninth. Thus there is the strongest probability, that, in a few weeks, one of the greatest of human revolutions will be accomplished—a FREE GOVERNMENT ERECTED BY A FREE PEOPLE, capable of reviving our trade, protecting our manufactures, and rendering us happy at home, and respected abroad. We understand that there is to be a discharge of artillery from Federal-Hill, this evening at five o'clock, in honor of the State of South-Carolina."
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated June 3. "I congratulate you on the grand news of SOUTH-CAROLINA HAVING ADOPTED THE NEW CONSTITUTION, by a majority of 76. Yours, &c."
Yesterday being the birth-day of his Britannic Majesty, a very elegant entertainment was, we hear, given upon the occasion, by Sir JOHN TEMPLE, Bart. his Majesty's Resident here, at which were present, his Excellency the President and other Members of Congress, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, the Secretary at War, the Foreign Ministers, British officers of the Navy and Army, &c. &c.
We hear from Boston, that at the general election, on Wednesday last, his Excellency JOHN HANCOCK, was found to be appointed Governor of that Commonwealth, by the general suffrage of the constituent body; and that there was no election for Lieutenant Governor, owing, it is said, to a number of votes not being returned in season.
We are informed, that the variation of the magnetic needle, by late observations at Paris, is 21 degrees West.
The following account, just published by the Academy of Sciences at Stockholm, relative to a NEW INVENTION for preserving SHIPS BOTTOMS, must be very interesting to the public.
"Mr. Faxe, physician to the admiralty of Carlscroone, having often observed the damage in the doubling of ships, and the evils which resulted from their being sheathed with copper, endeavored to discover a method to prevent those effects."
"He has at last succeeded, by a composition of a certain stone, mixed with rags, and which forms a kind of paper. From repeated trials, it is found, this substance perfectly resists the water; having been boiled seven hours successively in a copper vessel hermetically sealed, without undergoing the least alteration. A sheet of it was also placed in a catarract, where it remained 3 months, with the water continually running on it, against which it was equal proof. It resists with the same success, fire, cold and free air. The solution of iron, and of vitriol copper, adds to its solidity, and if done over with linseed oil, tar, pitch, or other grease, it resists the water."
"Mr. Faxe has therefore proposed to have it
employed in the doubling or sheathing of vessels with copper, and to place it between the ship and the copper, to prevent the rust and the verdigris from destroying the iron bolts and other works of the ship. Also to cover powder-magazines and other places exposed to the danger of fire with it, and to cover the tops."
"A Mr. Hielm has calculated the advantages of this composition or paper employed to cover the tops."
"One hundred square ells of it only weighs 422 pounds. The same surface of iron plates 1142, of single planks 1150, of tiles from 3600 to 4800. The price of these hundred ells of paper is only three rix dollars, of iron plates 35, of tiles 9, and of planks 4. The sheets of paper are thirteen inches (Rhine measure) long, and ten and a half wide, and the twelfth part of an inch thick."
"Mr. Faxe has established a large manufactory at Carlscroone, for making it, and meets with very great encouragement."
"On Tuesday arrived the sloop Seaflower, Welling, in 14 days from St. Croix; and
"Yesterday arrived the brig George Clinton, Phoenix, in 25 days from St. Eustatia; and
"Sloop Nancy and Polly, Bramley, in 10 days from Wellington."
"On Tuesday cleared out at the Custom-house, sloops Phillippa Packet, Alberton, for Philadelphia; Delight, Hulke, for Newhaven; and John and Mary, Lowndes, for St. Croix."
"Arrivals at Boston. Brigs Lion, Lowe, Tobago; Three Brothers, Sherborne, Hispaniola; brig Betsey, Wales, Baltimore; Betsey, Foster, Halifax; sloops Friendship, Daggett, Philadelphia; Industry, Norton, do.; Surprize, Jenkins, Virginia; Catherine, Gerrif, St. Croix; Medway, Thatcher, L'Orient; Schooners Nancy, Barnes, St. Michael's, and Sally, Thatcher, L'Orient."
MR. CHILDS, I am sorry that the charges brought against the gentlemen of the College should have swell'd up their passions into such a burst of resentment as appeared in your Saturday's paper. It is not in the schools, nor even among the heads of the church, that we must look for humility and patience in these days, when professors of learning and religion give sanctuary in their breasts to pride and hypocrisy. Far be it from me to allude personally to any of the gentlemen of the College, for, with their persons I am totally unacquainted. Not private interest or resentment, but public good were the motives which urged me to publish the circumstance, and that it was a fact, is now clearly proved by the person or persons who write under the signature of "Verus," where they also acknowledge themselves to be IMPORTERS of books, and the first men of business in New-York who have demanded any advance on the current money.
Their contempt for the writer of these remarks (of whom they can have no knowledge) shews the depth of their judgment. What! men who should set the brightest examples of humility and brotherly love (to their pupils) to despise any of their fellow creatures! But men of high birth and education never yet could bear rebuke from the Vermula; Ergo, Messieurs Verus not convinced me that my signature was a bad one.
An ENEMY to COLLEGE COXCOMBS. New-York, Monday morning.
Curious particulars of the Life of JOHN O'BRYEN, Esq.
FEW men have been more unfortunate at sea, few so fortunate, as John O'Brien, Esq. brother to the present Earl of Inchiquin, and presumptive heir to the Earldom.
This gentleman was brought up to the sea, and at an early period of his life was made a Lieutenant in the navy—his commission bears date the 28th of September, 1747; so that he has been now more than forty years stationary in that rank.
His first misfortune at sea, was on the coast of India, where his ship was wrecked; and every one on board perished, except Mr. O'Brien and four persons.
On his return to Europe, he was cast away near the Cape of Good Hope, but had the good fortune to get alive to the shore.
The Dutch Governor, finding that he was a man of quality, supplied him with every necessary for continuing his voyage, and provided him a cabin in one of the Dutch homeward bound East-Indiamen.
When all Mr. O'Brien's baggage, &c. which had been furnished by the Governor of the Cape, were put on board, a Dutch Governor of some of the Eastern settlements in India, who was to return to Europe in the same ship, found himself rather straitened for room, on account of the number of his own family, and of the other passengers.
He applied therefore to the Governor of the Cape, and told him that he would esteem it a very particular favor, if he could prevail on the other passengers to quit the ship, and leave it entirely to his family and suite.
The Governor, willing to oblige this gentleman, spoke to the passengers, but particularly to Mr. O'Brien, and told them, they would much oblige him, if they would give up their births to the Asiatic Governor; in return for which, he pledged himself to procure them excellent accommodations on board of another ship, that was to sail at the same time.
They readily complied with the Governor's wishes, and removed to another ship. Soon after, they put to sea, and in little more than 24 hours after they had left the Cape, Mr. O'Brien saw the ship he had quitted, founder in a hard gale of wind, and every one on board perished. This was the third escape.
In some few years after, he was stationed on board the Dartmouth of 50 guns. This ship fell in with the Glorioso, a Spanish man of war of superior force, and gallantly engaged her for several glasses. Mr. O'Brien was in his station between decks, when the gunner ran up to him, and with wildness and despair in his looks, cried out, "O, Sir, the powder room!" Lieutenant O'Brien heard no more from him; for the ship instantly blew up.
One might have imagined that this would have been the end of all his hair-breadth escapes, and that it was morally impossible he could survive such a catastrophe as this—nevertheless he did survive it—and was afterwards found floating upon the carriage of a gun.
From this circumstance it was conjectured, that he had been blown out at a port-hole with one of the guns, and that by some inconceivable means he had rested upon the carriage.
He was picked up by the Duke privateer, and treated with all possible care—his clothes were all in tatters, torn in some places, and burnt in others.
This dreadful accident was not capable of sinking the spirits of Mr. O'Brien, who was always sprightly and gay. When he came to himself, and was introduced to the Captain of the Duke, he said to him with great gravity, "Sir, you will excuse me for appearing before you in such a dress; for I left my ship with so much precipitation, that I had not time to put on better clothes."
From the circumstance of his having been blown up in the Dartmouth, he was ever after known in the navy, by the name of Sky Rocket Jack. In all probability, he would now be high on the list of Admirals, if he had not quitted the service many years ago.
Notes of a SERMON preached by AUGUSTUS TOP- LADY, in the Chapel, Orange-street, London, Jan. 23d, 1776. Taken down by a Scotch Preacher.
SONG of SOLOMON, ch. 2, 15. Take us the Foxes, the little Foxes that spoil the vines; for our vines have tender grapes.
WHAT we are to say (begins the preacher) from these words will not, we hope, be deemed a personal satire by any one in this assembly; it, indeed, any chuse to apply the observations that may be made, the application must arise, not from the speaker, but from a consciousness of criminality in the hearers. These words form part of a book exceeding metaphorical, and, on account of its dress, has often been converted to a bad use.
[After explaining the context in a most fanciful manner, he goes on:]
Our text is composed of a few similes, or rather of one simile, taken from the simple and unadorned scenes of nature:—but before we enter on the principal part of our subject, we propose, in the first place, to throw out a few observations respecting metaphors in general, and their proper application.
Now, that we may know whether a metaphor be proper for the purpose, and corresponding to the subject, observe the three following rules:
1st. It ought to be pertinent to the point in view. 2dly. Delicate:—and, 3dly. Strong and lively. 1st. It ought to be pertinent to the point in view, quite applicable, and every way adapted to what it is chosen to illustrate; it must stand plum on all fours, and exactly tally with the subject of discourse.
But, 2dly. It must be delicate; not rough, nor harsh or offensive to the imagination. To illustrate this observation by a familiar instance, I remember to have heard a clergyman in Somersetshire, an intimate friend of mine, tho' not a clever man, but I believe very useful in his way, and a preacher of the gospel of Jesus; he was discouraging largely of the grace of God, and the manner of its operation on the human heart; in the warmth of his fancy, he compared the heart of man to an oven, and the grace of God to a furze bush, lighted at both ends, and put into it to bring it to a proper heat. Now, altho' this simile was plain, and in its way very good, still it was indecent and low to the highest degree.—Moreover,
A metaphor should not be flimsy or unsubstantial. A shewy speaker, who ornaments his discourse with a pompous glare of words, or makes his sentences strut away with a glittering parade of high-sounding metaphorical epithets, puts me in mind of what happened to present itself to my view this morning. As I came thro' St. James's Park to the Lock Hospital, whom should I happen to meet with but three young ladies, elegantly dressed, shewy, and every way fashionably airy, walking beneath three moving towers, three Bunker-hills, three Egyptian pyramids. Why, I thought if they had been as solid as they were large and pompous, their weight and pressure would undoubtedly have been intolerable; but for the sake of the young ladies, I comforted myself that they were truly light-headed . [This raised a half-laugh in the audience, which, to a serious mind, would have been very indecent; and, at any rate, very unbecoming a place set apart for the worship of God.]
But we observe, in the last place, that a metaphor should be strong, and of such a texture as not to be easily rendered useless by the misapplication of a single word. Each of you well know, I presume, the story that is commonly told of the famous Rich. As he was walking one day in St. James's Park, he accidentally met with a friend, who had a very short coat. "How do you do to-day, I am glad to see you," says Rich; "I think you have got a very short coat on to-day." "Yes," replied his friend; "but it will be long enough, I believe, before I get another one." Now Rich was intimately acquainted with the King (William) and at night he called on his Majesty, to whom he told the story, how he had met with a very worthy friend that day; well replied his Majesty, what of that? Why, says he, please your majesty, I observed he had a very short coat on; and what did your friend say? Why he told me with the most agreeable air imaginable, that it would be a good while before he got another one, and I pited him from my heart. Now you see how a very single word changed or misplaced, will make the best said thing in the world entirely useless.
But not to insist any longer on the use of metaphors, and their application; let us now see what our text contains: Take us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil our vines, for our vines have tender grapes. These words naturally divide themselves into two parts—the great foxes, and the little foxes. Let us shortly enquire into the meaning of each.
The great foxes and the little ones, are in general, those that set themselves up in opposition to the gospel of Jesus and his doctrines.
But more particularly, the great foxes may be said to include all those ministers, who preach up and teach heterodox doctrines, viz. For instance, a Socinian, he is a fox of the first magnitude—there is your Arian, he also is a great fox—there is your Self-Justificatory, he is a very cunning fox—there is your Perfectionist, he is the fox of foxes; and a long string of others might be mentioned.—But to proceed. 2d. By the little foxes, who nibble at the vines, and knaw asunder the tender grapes, i. e. who tear to pieces the doctrines of the gospel, we are to understand your lay preachers—there's your Cobler foxes—your Shoemaker foxes—your Mechanic preachers. It would suit them better to be patching up their old kettles, and mending their old shoes, than to be cobbling the gospel of Christ Jesus.
All these, and many more, might be mentioned, who destroy the vines, for our vines have tender grapes; now the ministers of the gospel of Jesus, are expressly commanded to take the foxes.—Take us the foxes, the little foxes, both the great and small—they are to mount the gospel horse, and go a fox-hunting.—Tho' many who go out and pursue this fashionable diversion now-a-days, break their necks before they return—this is not the fare of the ministers of the gospel—they need not be afraid of any material injury, far less of being destroyed;—nay, they will come off more than conquerors. In this persuasion they are to pursue the foxes, however subtle, through all their turnings, their windings, and shiftings, and evasions, tho' they may sometimes earth themselves beneath vain and plausible reasonings, and ingenious and worldly conceits:—but the ministers of the gospel, according to their commissions, are to pursue them close up, nor is the chace, however long and tedious, to be given up, till they come up to their holes, and, without any apprehension of danger, they are to put their hand in their hiding place, and drag them out by the hind legs, and expose them to the view of the whole world, and shake them violently, that the whole world may see what is in them.
[This raised no small stir in the audience: such a bold excursion, even our modern fox-hunters would scarcely have dared to make.]
After going on in the same strain for more than a full hour, he observed, that as the time was far spent, he would, for this night, take farewell of the foxes:—But that he would renew the pursuit the first opportunity.
He concluded all, with a few observations by way of improvement:—Some of the internees were pious, and superior to the doctrines from whence they were deduced; tho' at the same time other remarks were congenial to the spirit of the discourse—in particular, he informed his audience, that from the text, we might easily prove the important doctrine of the Trinity.—"I have already told you," says he, "that these words were addressed by Jesus Christ, to the Father and Holy Ghost:—Take us the foxes, the little foxes, &c. by which is expressly intimated to us, a number or plurality of persons. ***** Cetera desunt."

He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (signified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted attention to the pain and down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city.
1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21. with foremen, to see the business performed.
2d. To allocate a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney.
3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house.
4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them.
The undertaking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply.
Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf
