New York, February 24. His Majesty's Service having required a Dissolution of our late Assembly; on Tuesday last, being the Time appointed for the Election of Representatives for the City and County of New York, CORNELIUS VAN HORNE, PAUL RICHARD, HENRY CRUGER, and William Walton, Esqrs, our late Members, were again elected, by the unanimous Voice of the People. A fresh Demonstration this of the popular Sense of the late Transactions; and that the ministerial Cant, of Two and a Half per Cent, Twenty Shillings for every Meeting, with other Jargon of the like Nature, will not go down so glib as is generally imagined by the Zacharias, the Plains, and the rest of that Complexion; who, tho' they make no Pretensions to the Sublime (if one may judge by the uncommon Simplicity of their Style) have of late Years so excelled in the marvellous, as to write themselves out of all Credit with every Man of Sense and Probity. I know it would be Arrogance in a private Person, to publish his Sentiments on our frequent Dissolutions; but one can't help thinking, that by this Time some Body must be convinced, that he hath pretty well try'd his Possibles; and what those Possibles have been able to effect, is sufficiently known to others. I hope, however, that from the above unanimous Suffrage, I may be allowed to infer, without the Imputation of ill Manners to my Superiors, that the People must needs have the strongest Proofs of the Merit and Integrity of the Gentlemen before mentioned, so totally to disregard all the impudent Aspersions thrown on their former Conduct, by the little Writers of the opposite Party, as not even to demand a Poll, or hesitate a Moment about their Choice Nor can those Writers themselves be at a Loss to draw a useful Inference from the above Election, for their own Edifica

tion and future Amendment; I mean, that all their Scurrility and Slander for four Years successively repeated against every new Election, is still universally despised, nor has been able to gain a single Proselyte to their desperate Cause.-N.

New York, March 23. Last Tuesday we had here a considerable Shower of Rain, attended with much Thunder and Lightning; one of the Claps whereof struck the House of Mr. Philip Vanhorne, near the Long Bridge, and set the same on Fire; but it was soon discovered and extinguished: The Lightning went thro' the House, broke several of the Sash Windows, and shiver'd a large Looking Glass all to Pieces; besides considerable other Damage: However by the blessing of God, no Persons were hurt.

The rainy Weather continued all that Day, and was followed the next Day by a violent Snow Storm. About a Week before that, we had a pretty smart Snow Storm, attended with a great deal of Thunder, to the surprize of most, as it is no common Thing to have Snow and Thunder both at once; and we hear, the Thunder was so violent at that time near Woodbridge, that a Boy in the Field, was struck down and stunned, but happily without further Damage.-N.
