The Funeral Sermon of the late Mr.

row, the third inst. at 3 o'clock in the af-
ternoon, -at the Methodist Meeting-House,

The Three Friends, from Baltimore, has

The result of the'election in Connecti-
cut is, that governor Trumbull, lieutenant-
air Troad.vell, and the present se--
cretary and treasurer are re-elected by very
large majorities. In the house of re pre- ent-
atives we observe that a triumphant majori-
ty in favor of the steady habits of the state
is again returned. The whole number of
representatives is one hundred and ninety -
¦ four. Of these 62 are democratic, and .32
federalists.
Remarkable Wh irlwind.
On Wednesday last, about three o'clock
took place the most tremendous Hurricane
or Whirldwind ever experienced inthis coun-
try. At the Fork Meeting-House, called
the Methodist Meeting, near the dwelling
of Achilla Hall, esq. were swept away seven-
teen houses, and several large trees and fen-
ces were swept off in. fact, not a single ves-
tage left in that thriving place except the
meeting-house and dwelling-house of C.
(«jrs,uch. The hurricane continued its oourss
from thdnce northerly across the Falls of
Gunpowder to Harford county ; and- lamen-
table to tell ! the devastation committed in
blowing 'town trees and fences, and entirely
n*ed the property of David Lee, Junr.
living near t'V Friends' Meeting House, in
said county, &c. [American.]
From a London paper.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Feb. 2
This day being the purification of the
Virgin Mary, was a di.es ncn in term, and
of course the judges did not sit as usual ;
but at nine o'clock this morning, lord El
lenborough sat at Nisi Prim, when several
causes were disposed of, among which were
the following :
Littltwood v. Baltic.
This was an action for goods sold, and
was interesting chiefly with respect to the
law as to making bargains.
The plaintiff sold five leads of straw to
the defendant at forty shillings per k>ad,
amounting to 101.
Mr. Park, for the plaintiff, proved the de-
livery, by the straw being brought to the
defendant's premises, about two months af-
ter the bargain was made ; but, to. .rebut
that,
Mr. Garrow, for the defendant proved,
that when the straw Jwas brought hume, it
turned out to be of inferior quality from
that which his client had bargained for, and
was refus- I to be taken in. Upon these
grounds, he therefore' contended, that in
of-J-iw, there was no delivery.
Lord Elienborough observed, that if such
:¦ bargain as this was to .bind a party, no
raar.' couli safyly venture tp treat foi any
commodity whatever. By the statute of
frauds, where a sale has been made, amount-
ing to 101. and upwards, tiiere must bs one
of three things complete, in order to bind
the party, a memorandum in writing, a de-
livery of part of the goods sold, or earnest
paid, In this case none of these appeared
to have been done, and the plaintiff was
accordingly nonsuited.
Communication.
The following anecdote of Loi?n Chief
Justice Holt forms so striking a contrast
with recent occurrences in the United Stales,
that I have copied it for your Gazette. Had
our Lord High Admiral, as he is termed by
one of his " water-closet* heroes, possessed
as much regard for the privileges of his fel-
low-citizens as a British judge, we should
not have seen such extraordinary and illegal
measures taken to insure the destruction of
the power of an ancient rival.
HORNET.
" He had a just sense, of theVxtreme dan-
ger of calling in the military power, under
the pretence of assisting the civil magistrate
in tile execution of the laws ; and lit- would
on no occasion countenance any thing of the
kind. Whilst he held the office of chief
justice, a riot happened in Holboru, occasion-
ed by a practice, in which many persons
were then engaged, of decoying young peo-
ple of both sexes to the plantations. The
persons decoyed were kept prisoners in a
house isl that street until an opportunity oc-
curred of shipping them off; which being
discovered, the enraged populace were go-
ing to pull down the h use. Notice of this
eat to Whitehall, a party of the guards
Were commanded to march to the place, but
they first sent an officer to lord chief justice
Holt, to acquaint him with the design, and
to desire him to send some of his people to
attend the soldiers, in order to give more
weight to t his proceeding. The oificwr hav-
ing delivered Ins message, the chief justice
said to him, •' Suppose the populace should
not disperse at your appearance, what are
you to do then ?">" Sir," answered the of:
ficer, " we have orders to lire upon them."
"Have you, sir?" replied his lordship-;
" then take notice of what I say : if there
In' one man killed, and you are tried before
me, I will take care that you, and every sol-
dier of your party, shall be hanged! Sir,"
added he, " go back to those who sent you,
and acquaint them, that no officer of mine
shall attend soldiers ; and let them know
at the same time, that the laws of this king-
dom ARE NOT TO BE EXECUTED BY THE SWORD."
; ' long to the civil p-.icer, and
you have milling to do •with them."
" Upon this the lord chief justice ordered
his tipstaves with a lew constables, to attend
hen, and wen:, Idmselfiu person to the place
where the tuhjull had arisen, expostulated
with the mol 1 .md assured them that justice
