A correspondent of the Preston EEngland Chronicle gives the follBw- ing anecdole i: A good while ago boy named Charlie had n large dog wIlicn was very fond of the waier, and in lo, weather he used 10 swim across the river near which the boy lived. One day ille thought struck him that it would be fine fun 10 make the dog carry him across the river. So he lied a string to the dogs collar. and ran down with hin to the waters edge. where he took of fbis clothes and then holding hard by the dogs neck. and the bii of string lle wen, into the water, and the dog pulIeI him across. Afier playing about on il,e other side for some time, they returned in the way they had come but when Charlie looked for his. clothes, he could find nothing but his shoes! The wind had blown all fhc rest into the water. Tue dog saw what. had happened, and making hs lhtle master let go the string, by making believe 10 bite him. he dashed into the water, and brough, out first his coat, and then all the rest in succession. Charlie dressed and went home in his wet cIotlies, and fold his mother what fun he and the q z had had. His mother told him Ina, The did very wrong in going aeress .hs river as he had dn,e, and that he should thank God for making the dog take lIini over and back again safely for if the dog had made him let go in the river he woul'l most likely have sunk, an been drowned. Little Charlie said, Shall thank God now, Mamma :' and he kneeled down at his mothers knee and thanked God !; then, getting up agaIn,le threw his arms around his dogs neck. saying, "I tlank you too, dear, dogg;e, for no, letting go.' I.iitle Charlie is now Admiral Sir Charles Napier.

popular branch of the Legislative department
Of the government is deeply regretted, not
only by those who constitute the majority OF
the House, but by the country at large. The
attentive reader, however, will be enabled 10
place the responsibility where it belongs
Mr.. Banks has steady and unfiinching vote
Of from los to lO7, while ten or fifteen men,
elected by the same party, as the majority. re-
fuse to come into his support. To them belong
the responsibility. This state Of affairs, how
ever. was not unexpected previous TO tie open
ing of Congress. The Republican party is
made up Of members from the old political par
ties and many Of them have not been able TO
divest themselves of old party prejudces and
prepossesson.. 1t will be difficult to secure
a unanimous utilization. The members from
the North ives. have held several private meet
ings and have as often determined 10 stand
firm for the maintenance of that great meas
ure, hich Las been the source OF that great
prosperity which characterizes our progress
the non-extension Of slavery. II would be
useless TO speculate as to the probability Of An
election, to- day. Tomorrow, or next week
No honorable influences have been lett I'M
tried to secure the votes OF the refractory
members, and all now seem disposed to leave
them to their immediate constituents. 1t will
be noticed that Mr.. Fuller has been gaining
votes for the last day or two. This accession
has come entirely from the Know Nothings
Of the South, it being understood that upon
the question Of admitting Kansas he is with
the Souih-for its admission with or without
slavery. OF course he cannot be elected I'M
less he should finally secure the Old Line
vote, Of which there is not the most remote
probability. They will stand by Richardson,
as a reward for his services in lighting through
the Kansas and Nebraska bills of the last ses-
sion.
There is, however. one pleasant feature in
this contest FOR the election of Speaker-there
is no i'll feeling manifested by either party, or
any Of the members. All appear to take it
as patiently AS an INDECENT laborer would when
getting good wages. and his employer absent.
MANY ofthe older members console themselves
by thinking and saying that it makes but lit
tie difference whether the House IS organized
for some time yet as it has not been the Gus
tom to do any business any how. until after
the HOLIDAYS. The remark is too true, even
for much longer time, as large proportion
Of each session is spent in useless debate, &c.
annex the following continuation of the
description Of the respective departments of
the government:
