~ We have friend who owns very
saeacious Newfoundland dog, one VINO Is
brave as lion generally, and rules the roast
50 far as his intercourse with other dogs
is concerned, but is particularly afraid OF
thunder and lightning. The moment that a
thunder storm comes up, Neptune lowers his
proud crest, runs under bed and crouches
with his head upon the ground, in the most
abiect HUMILITY. But the instant the storm
passes away,he comes out of his hiding place.
to use the language of his owner, as saucy
as ever, and is ready to whip any dozen OF
common dogs who refuse to yield him the
whole of the pavement.
The London Timesreminds US OF this New
foundland dog. 1t was quite imperious ana
impertinent to this country upon the CUBAN
question before affairs in the Crimea wore SO
serious an aspect. But the moment the thun-
der and lightning Of Sebsstopol began to
play so furiously,it became as meek and quiet
as mouse. For the first time in its history
it kept civil tongue in its head, so lar as
this country is concerned. 1t declared over
and over again that Lord Clarendon's tsik
about managing the affairs OF the western
hemisphere had no reference to "our Amer
can cousins" 1t has been as sweet as sugar
upon everything American for the last ten
months And there have been plenty of Anne
cans verdant enough to take all this tor Gos
pei But the storm has passed away, and
Neptune has come out from under his bed,
growing and showing his white teeth, as
saucy and savage as ever. Elated by the
victory at Sebastopol, the Times is ranting
again of the ability of the Western alliance
to whip the rest of the world. When it
cools off, and begins to calculate, what
amount of time, men and money, it would
take to conquer all creation, at the ratio OF
| five hundred thousand soldiers and five hum
dred millions of dollars year for the reduc-
ton of one fortress, it may possibly be con
tent with the subjugation of Russia, and
permit other portions of the planet to abide
| in peace.
MORE AID FOR THE AFFLICTED. The

has forwarded to the Relief Committee Of
this city, per Rev. d. B. Ewing, $72 for the
benefit of the Norfolk and Portsmouth suf
ferers.
