On MOHuuy WoIiiHS "'e""'" W
fray occurred in Messrs. Newton's store;
SO Tar as we can ascertnin. the following
are the particulars OF this "diiilculiy":--
1t appears that an old gentleman named
Port, rather crusiy character, came in
collision with Tea-chest, who with
some importance informed Mr.. Port that
twas his turn now. Mr.. Port immedi-
ately retired TO his bin, consulted with
his friend Mr.. Sherry, and by his advice
endeavored to compromise matters with
the irritable inhabitant OF the COngou-
case. II was all in vain. BY mere &C.
cident the parties met in the store Of
Newton Brothers, to which place Mr..
Port had gone Tor the purpose of purch-
asing n cheese to serve for IA target, and
Mr.. Chin-chon TO see n young lady
named Tyson. Mr.. Port with warmth
informed Mr.. Chin-chon that he was n
miserable Leaf and always getting into
hot wattcr.-to which Mr.. Chin-chon
mildly replied that at least he did not
change any one's nose BY purpling it,
This was too much for old Port, who
took off his cork. stretched his neck and
flooded his opponent A person named
Claret poured himself out in defence OF
Mr.. Port, and a stout old fellow who
gurgled out something respecting Bar
clay g. Perkins rushed into the melee
exclaiming mildly, "Our Vic. won't
have it, Britains never will be slaves ~
The row now becoming general, Mr..
Coffee quilted his canister and SAID OH
his aroma he could bear i, no longer /;
and an individual called Starch very
stifly enquired what those dead men
(pointing at the belligerent bottles)
meant2 The unfortunate individual
was Immediately knocked down by a
bar of Soap, and some Washing Powder
thrown in his eyes. 1t was IN vain that
the whole establishment Of the Newtons
attempted to restore chaos 10 anything
like order Nutmegs flew in all dircc-
,ions, and Peppers peppcred away in
what they called n hot fire. Sugar tried
to restore social sweetness, but no, the
syrup Of Poppics itself could have quiet
ed the combit,hts. Mr.. Port seeing
that things were going agains, him, in
timated desire to retire to his c liar,
bu, was prevented from so doing by n
ruiian named Twankay, who broke his
head with Maine Law Teapot. IN
be revcnged" furiously roarcd Mr..
Port, who, using very improper Ian
guase with rcspec, to a highly respected
knight ofthe Holy Sepul chre, bccau
choked with passion. The Tea party
was triumphant in the end, and we hear
that one OF the leading members OF The
table intend nominating n S Don as an
appropriate successor of the Mayor OF
Providence, who enjoyed the view iron,
window OF the Dis-uuited States
Hotel.
DEAuTirVL EXrRACT.-There has
been such an universal burst Of admira-
ton for the peerless manner in which
Mr.. Buringame alluded to Calhoun,
Clay and Webster, in his Grafton, dc.
livered in this city on Monday last, that
we give the following extracts /: and We
can safely say, that tor touching beauty
and oquence. they are not surpassed
in the English language and when it
is remembered that his whole address
was extcmporaneous, the mind will
wonder how such beau'i al passages
could gush from the deep iount Of the
heart, at wlll.-Ncp London Star.
MIR. Webster 10 the only survivor OF
that illusirious trio Of statesmen,
Who shook the nations through th,r lips,
and blax'd,
Till vanquished Senates tremblcd as they
praised"
"One sleeps, this beautiful day, in the
sweet shade OF the magnolia's blossoms
his great heart is still, and quenched
is the light ofhis glorious eye forever
another and fiji companion Of the great
South Carolinian fell but yesterday, on
the field OF his lame, and now. cold and
dead, is borne OH his bier through
weeping nation, back to the generous
soil OF old Kentucky, there to s!eep the
sleep that knows no waking. The
orator, the chivalric gentleman, and
noble friend, is beyond the reach of
malice or Of praise-never again shall
he rouse us with his bugle blasts, or
melt us into tenderness by the touching
melody Of his voice.
And he Of the imperial intellect,
With the A,henian's glowing style, and
Tully's fire.
~anders, companionless and alone, by
the deep sea he loves so well-gazing,
with his great eyes, into t. that undis
covered country. from whose bourne no
traveller returns" Oh long may he
lve-and may the refreshing breeZes
ian his brow ana bring back the roses
OF health to his fading cheeks.
81 refer thus to these great Ameri-
cans, not to conciliate their iriends-not
as partizan /; no no o!-let the bugles
ofpar,y this day sound truce-but in
obedience TO the
Emotions that start.
When memory plays an old tune upon the heart"
/ could not better illustrate tie story OF
our institutions than by reference to
thcse great men, their noblest offspring" )"
