DISTRIBUTION OF GOLD.

It il not little remarkable that with all the vast
arrivals of gold dust from Australia, gold coin from
the United States, and silver from the West Coast,
reported of late in London, that the accumulations
are apparently thus far inconsderable not only in
the bank, but throughout the Kingdom, The Bank
of England held last summer as high as twenty-five
millions sterling; the amount is now little over
twentyone millions. Before the arrival of the recent
rich argses from Australia and the West Coast this fact
was susceptible of easy explanation in the very large
amounts of gold coin sent out to the gold field where
with to purchase dust and carry the enlarged
ca operations Of the colony Since then we have looked
somewhat closer into the distribution of the precious
tails from the British metropolis and the exports of

British En- dorsement of Pierce.

The London Times, the organ of Brit
ish Capitalists and Manufacturers, IN its
issue of July 9th, says: -"The primary
question for the United States IN this
election. sc. r. v y
IS THE NATIONAL SANCTION
AND INVlOLABLE ESTABLISH
MENT OF The PRINCIPLES OF
FREE TRADE.
In this respect, and on this point, we
take Gen. Pierce to be a FAIR REP
RESBNTATIVE OF THE OPINIONS
OF MR.. CALHOUN, AND AS SUCH
A VALUABLE PRACTICAL ALLY
TO THE COMMERCIAL POLICY
OF THIS COUNTRY"
The Liverpool European Times, anoth-
er British Free Trade organ, says:-"As
regards England public sympathy, it is
needless to say, is enlisted on the side
of the Democratic candidate. NOT
THAT GEN. PIERCE is CONSIDER
ED THE BETTER MAN. FAR
THERWlSE.-He is merely AC-
CEPTED as the nominee of that great
party in the Union WHO DESIRE TO
PUSH THE PRINCIPLES OF FREE
TRADE TOTES UTMOST LIMITS"
The Manchester Examiner, another
organ of the British Manufacturers and
Capitalists, holds the following language
on the sub ct:-"The election of Gen.
Pierce will at any rate prove that the
Democratic Majority, whatever may be
their other differences, are unanimous
in their testimony on behalf of liber-
al commercial policy, and any Govern
ment he may form will be one on which
this country may rely for effectual CO.
operation in reducing, wherever practi-
cable, existing impediments to interna-
tlonal intercourse"
The London Leader, another British
Free Trade organ, apparently less in
formed about the so-called Dem ocratic
candidate for President of the United
States, says:-"We are without informa-
ton as to the views of Gen. Pierce on
the subject of cooperation with Eng
land but we cannot say that we feel any
apprehension on the point and we shall
await the final election not without
share IN the confidence of many Ameri-
can friends that 1t will result WE'LL"

CHAPTER |.

II was week after the Picnic. and we were
sitting upon this very mound, Flora and |. We
had been rambling about until weary. This
day YOU would scarcely have known Flora, she
looked SO sad. so unlike the Flora OF II week ago.
We had been sitting silently here for, it might
have been, ten minutes, or il might have been,
twice as long-I could not tell, being in the
midst OF very pleasing reverie-when, with
sudden vehemence of emotion Flora threw her
al ms about my neck and bursting into tears, ex-
claimed:
sob! Ellen, why was ever born?"
|, was in vain that | sought TO soothe her; she
hut sobbed the more, and 50 | sat quite still.
After awhile she grew calm, ceased sobbing,
and lifting her head from my shoulder, she wiped
the tears from her cheek and looking up with
sad smile said:
"You think me very foolish--but-bu will
tell you; Henry"-and her voice grew very low
and taltering-''loves me; he has told me SO,

"And you lore him." in,crposed, decidedly

"Flora! Flora! | exclaimed, "why have you
done this? What false tongue or idle fancy has
made you so unjust?"
"Now! know him to be all that is good and
noble, but you forget Ellen, that he is poor,
pery poor" With a half sad, hall bitter smile
she continued :-"and in that respect am his
equal. M, do not speak! have thought it all
over long since. 1t must not be-"

so long had your mind made up upon the subject,

Free Soil party, and five sixths OF the
leaders of it, go for Gen. Pierce: yet,

office or nomination from the W higs.
But we give Mr.. Jenifer over to MIR.

card in the Baltimore American of
Tuesday. What will Mr.. Jsnlter now
say!
BALTIMORE, Sept. 90, 1852.
Messrs Editors: A few days since |,
together, | suppose, with other persons,
received a circular letter from Hon.
Daniel Jenifer, in which he expressed a
determination not to support Gen Scott.
Why this letter was written-tor what
purpose-for whose particular benefit
it was written, | do not know, and can
not tell. But do say, that on the 3lst
July, 1919, tue tlOll' bdulcl JtilleI,
riding with me in my carriage from
Charlotte Hall to Wing meeting, to
be held at Leonardtown, st. Mary's
county, did say that in the present con-
test he could not, and would not separ-
ate from his Wing friends; and say fur
ther, that the Hon. Daniel Jenifer, in
the strongest and most emphatic manner,
condemned the course of the Hon.
William d. Merrick, who said that he
could not support Gen. Scott IN the
present contest, but that he would vote
for me alone as one of the electors on
the Wing ticket.
What change has come over the
spirit of the honorabl gentleman's
dreams, do not know, but | underta axe
to say, that it has been very sudden, and
that it is matter of no importance IN
the Congressional district ! represent

MIR. JENIFER'S LETTER.

The letter of the Hon. Daniel Jenifer,
in which he states to the public that he
will not support Gen. Scott, together
with his reasons for the course he pur
sues, is paraded in all the locofoco pa
pers with great relish, as matter of
great moment.
Now the reasons given by the Hon.
gentleman are just good for nothing at
all, and that they are not his real mo-
tives, seems TO be proved by the letter
from Hon. Augustus K. Sellers, one of
the wing electors of the State, which
We publish below.
His objections to Scott are the old
locofoco song, that he is the candidate
of the Free Sellers. How unfounded
this objection is has been shown again
and again. 1t is known that Mr. Cabeil
a Southern Wing, and Mr.. Cleveland
an Eastern Free Soiler, long ago pro-
claimed in Congress, the position of
Gen. Scott on the Compromise. The
letter Of Mr.. Graham to Mr.. Loring of
North Carolina. states that he knOWs
Gen. Scott to have been stronglyin favor
of the Compromise M'asurrs-but ON
this point the proof is abundant.
Besides did not Gen. Scott accept the
nomination md the platform of the
Wing Convention; better platform, as
Mr.. Jeniter would admit, than the loco
TOGO platform, which, such as it is, Gen.
Pierce never accepted. But it is folly
to talk of this matter, Look for mo.
ment who are the prominent Free Soil
ers, and how they stand in this contest
Here they are:
