DISCRETION OF LEADER.
LONDON, July ga scene in the house of
commons last night causes a sensation. A
section of the liberals having already obtain
ed from the government great restrictions
in the practice of 1ogging in the army and
navy, endeavored by obstruction to force the
total abolition of corporal punishment. The
Marquis of Harrington repudlated all re-
sponsibility for their action. Chamberlain,
member for Birmingham, amidst radical
cheers, said the Marquis of Harrington, vino
was formerly leader of the opposition, is
now only leader of a. section.
FRENCH GOLD.
LONDON, July 8.-The Times says the
6rmness of French exchange is said to be
due to the prospect of a demand for gold for
the United States, in consequence of indif-
ferent harvest accounts from the French
wheat growing districts that are certainly
unfavorable; but, looking at the enormous
accumulation of gold, both here and on the
continent, it seems rather premature to
speculate upon the probable effects of the
drain thereof to America; the contingency
of the Americans preferring to take their
own bonds, as was the case last year, must
be considered, and the probabilities are in
favor of some improvement in our general
business with America. It is also too early
to assume as certainty that European har-
vests will be seriously deficient.
