A fracas between two Israelites of Foreign
extraction, a Portuguese and an Italian, has ex-
cited totne amusement in the Foreign House.
In comegnence of a dispute about " our bar-
izlins," the nature of which has not been pub-
licly stated, there was a scuffle yesterday after-
noon in the house, in which blows were ex.
changed ; but sowed the members interfered, and
put an end to the pugnacious argument. To re.
strain One of the divutants—a Bull of pawl and
Cora Wile .celebrity—the bystanders had secured
his arms, in which position his antagonist—a nu.
five of the country which gave birth to Camoens,
the author of the Lusiad---tooli leave to seize Ow
CoraHine beak of his opponent between his linger
and thumb, from nhich,
..however, it was de-
livered by the interposition of bystanders. This
morning the Italian duly armed, with a horse-
whip, marched up to the Portuguese who had
yesterday so grossly insulted his dignity, and
after delivering a preliminary punch on the head,
proceeded, most unceremoniously, to apply the
instrument of correction with great freedom. The
members, however, interfering, the further meth-
,tated castigation was suspended.

just acquisitions of estate that' he made, and the
public works which he began and finished,
having erected and endowed churches, alms-
houses, and free schools, and built bridges,
castles, and towns, one of us hid, namely - Bran-
don, cost him 14,0001., insomuch,' that wilco
Cron' w ell saw these prodigious improvements,'
he declared (little expecting to find such in
Ireland), " that if there had been an Earl of
Cork in every province, it would have beetv
impossible for the Irish to have raised a rebel-
lion." This distinguished person, who at an ad-
vanced period of his life stated in a letter, that
his revenues, besides hil'houses, demesnes, parks,
and other royalties, yielded him 501. 'a

which he recordi'with, great simplicity as fol-

a fortune, I resolved to travel into 'foreign king

the Almighty by his divine providence to take me,
