LONDON, FRIDAY, NOV. 5, 1869. An American merchant of enormous wealth dies in London, and there is universal grief at the flash ing by telegraph of the tidings of his demise through- out his native land, the United States, and his adopted home the United Kingdom. Ile expired, not prema turely, being at the time of his decease in his seventy- fifth year, and yet his passing away is regretted ai though he had succumbed to disease in his heyday rather than in the days of his decrepitude. The re putation of GEORGE PEABODY is as exceptional in its way as that of JOHN KYRLE, commonly called " The Man of Ross," or that of JOHN HOWARD, the great Philanthropist. The difference be- tween PEABODY and KYRLE was this, that whereas KYRLE was doing good munificently accord ing to his comparatively narrow means as a private gentleman, with a small estate bringing him in no more than an annual income of £5OO sterling, PEABODY was squandering his munificence wholesale on either side of the Atlantic Ocean, being himself one of the merchant princes of the modern Tyre and Sidon, confronting each other from the opposite shores of England and America. The splendour of Mr. PEA BODY'S charities, two worlds recognise as altogether ex ceptional. W h ere as HOWARD had regard to the necessi ties of a single class, PEAI3ODY had a heart of melting kindness for all classes indiscrimately, so long as they were in need of assistance. It was not for the relief of the unfortunate occupants of the public prisons that he cared, as in the instance of our own world famous philanthropist—it was for the very poor, the very neglected, the very indigent hid away in squalor in the holes and corners of our densely peopled me tropolis. The great apostle has said that charity covereth a multitude of sins. It is tho pecu- liarity of Mr. PEABODY that the world knows nothing about any fault or blemish of his— it only knows of his resplendent benevolence. Be sides, one might say of him, as in nearly identical words what POPE sang of BELINDA— " If to his share some [human] errors fall, Look [at his Life] and forget them all." His name was beloved during his existence by his own immediate contemporaries. It will be revered, as well as beloved and honoured, by after generations to a remote posterity. The distinguishing peculiarity of his character was it 3 great simplicity. He was only ostentatious in one way—by the magnitude of his superb benefactions. Nearly half a million of money he has lavished on the poor of London. Up wards of half a million of money lie has distributed, with hands of imperial charity, among not only the destitute, but among others of his own transatlantic countrymen. The difficulty was, at last—as to how either England or America could re3pectively indi cate their appreciation of his glorio us gifts. The Government, or the heads of the Government, in each country found themselves almost battled, certainly bewildered as to how, in any marked way to indicate their recognition of the good and great deeds of this peerless benefactor. The Queen of ENGLAND would gladly have bestewel titles and honours upon the American citizen, only that the American citizenship which was the prid3 of this grand Philanthropist, forbade his acceptance of what are simply but as baubles in the sight of one who has been born and bred in the midst of Republican Independence. All that was left for her MAJESTY to do, her MAJESTY did. The QUEEN pre sented her own portrait exquisitely painted as a sou venir of friendship to the large-hearted American gentleman. Tho QUEEN wrote, with her own hand, her thanks to GEORGE PEABODY, for his magnificent generosity to the more necessitous among her people. The City of London, itself, indicated its sense of Mr. PEABODY'S generosity by erecting iu the midst of its principal mart, a white marble life-size effigy of the American Philanthropist, sculptured by the hand of an American artist. After seventy-five years of a blameless life, GEORGE PEABODY "sleeps well," loved and honoured by us all, and with a certainty in the future that his name will lon g be held in tender and most grateful remembrance. " THE depression in trade continues." There are signs of this on all hands. Shipbuilding has deserted the Thames ; scores of mills are shut up, or working half-time. in Lancashire ; and (so says the Registrar- General) " the marriage rate in the second quarter of the year was the lowest recorded in any correspond ing season during the last quarter of a century." In fact, our young people are practising Malthusis m without knowing it. As for the City— meaning by that term the various tribes of brokers, promoters, directors, and advertising agents —it is almost in despair, at the continuance of a financial winter severe and prolonged beyond all precedent. If it be any consolation to us to know the causes of this melancholy state of things, we have that consolation abundantly. We know, for instance, that the London shipwrights asked such high wages that the master shipbuilders could not pay them, and met a strike by a counterstrike. We know that Lancashire men have been building too many mills and over stocking the market. But most of all we know that City men have made English commercial morality a synonym for fraud. In every department of City enterprise have there been disastrous failures, disgraceful disclosures. One class of companies after another has proved to be infected by the dry rot of dishonesty. Railways, banks, insurance companies, finance companies, have each in turn been made a spectacle for the whole world to gaze at. Each fresh disclosure seems to be worse than the last. The doings of the Albert Insurance Company have made every policy-holder in the kingdom feel that the self denial which he has practised in order to secure an income for his children on his death may prove useless, and that those for whom he denied himself many a luxury and comfort may become beggars. The Imperial Land Company of Marseilles is the latest, would we could say it will be the last, great joint-stock sensation. It is stated by the liqui dators of the company that a sum of £764,719 has been taken from the shareholders by the directors, for that while the second profess to have paid £1,109,323 for the purchase of certain property in Marseilles, they paid really only £344,604, and put the rest into their own pockets. Such is the statement made, not by us, for we have no personal knowledge of the affair, but by responsible and official persons. We do not know how far it is a truthful statement. Mr. MOWATT, chairman ofthe Credit Foncier Company, who is accused of having absorbed one-half of this amount, denies the charge. The fact that it has been made will give another shock to public confidence, if, indeed, confidence can be said to exist. It will be said by the quiet man inexperienced in the ways of the financial world, that where there is so much smoke there is sure to be some fire, and that if City men holding an Official position can accuse a body of director's of taking for their own use two out of every three pounds entrusted to them by the share holders, it is time for him to forswear all speculation and to trust to the sweet simplicity of the Three per Cents. At a special general meeting of the Marseilles Com pany, Mr. Mow.trr, the person most largely in volved in the accusation, made some revela tions by way of clearing himself from the charge of fraud. How far he succeeded we will not undertake to say. Tie (the chairman of the Cr&lit Foncier Company) stated that this company had agreed with the Marseilles Company to accept a commission of £300,000 for launching that concern. It was a long price ; but then £06,000 of it was spent in advertising, and £79,000 was lost in " supporting the shares at a premium in the market." Nevertheless there was still a handsome margin left for profit. A bonus of a quarter of a million sterling ought to have made the shareholders of the Credit Foncier Company wealthy me n . Unfortunately for them the gentlemen who are so handsomely paid to manage their affairs were contented to accept pay ment in debentures to the extent of £120,000, and bills to the extent of £240,000 ; and £6,000 was all the cash which they re ceived. Mr. MowATT, the Chairman of the Credit Foncier Company, says that these bills are waste paper, and he goes on to characterise the Marseilles Company as " one of the most gigantic frauds ever perpetrated in the history of joint-stock companies." As the creditors and the shareholders of that concern seem to be of the same opinion, we suppose that the statement is not far in excess of the truth. Only one would like to know where has the money gone ? On the one hand the liquidato rs of the Marseilles Company declare that the directors have made away with two - thirds of the Mr. half of it being absorbed by On the other h an d, Mr. MowATT p m ai o d w up A T cra.pital, one declares that the, Credit Foncier Company, of which he i s c h a i r man, has been a heavy loser by the Marseilles Company. The money must be somewhere we suppose. He would be a very venturesome man to say where. There is one place where it is not, and where it nevgr - will be ; in the pockets of the shareholders of the " Imperial Land Company of Marseilles." In addition to Mr. Justice Blyes and Mr. Baron Bramwell, mentioned onWednesday, blr.J ustice Mellor will be the third election judge for the current year. Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses l'rincess Louise, Princess Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, arrived at 'Windsor Castle, from Scotland, at nine o'clock on Thursday morning. On Wednesday an explosion occurred at a colliery in Staffordshire, and three men were badly injured. One of them was much blunt on the back, but whon it was proposed to assist bim home he declined the assistance, and walked, home unaided "so as to prevent his wife and family becom ing alarmed." On Wednesday, after morning service at St. Patrick's Cathedral, the Clerical Synod of Ireland was finally dis solved, under commission front the Archbishops of Armagh and Dublin, by the Right Hon. John T. Ball, 31. P., Vicar- General of the Province of Armagh, and G. Battersby, Q.C., Judge of the Provincial Court of Dublin. - A meeting of the License Law Amendment League has been held in the Mechanics' Hall at Halifax, and was mo !erately attended. Mr. Edwnrd Crossley occupied the chair; and speeches wore delivered advocating further re strictions on the sale o f li quor . Resolutions were passed in which thomeeting expressed its gratification at the of the Government to deal with the subject next session; re commending that while the magistrates should be the licens ing authority, the ratepaye rs should fix the number to be granted; promising support to the League; and ordering that copies of the resolutions should be sent to the Prime Minister, the Home Secretary, the President of the Board of Trade, and the members for the borough and the Riding. Un Wednesday, at the L^amington Police Court, before Colonel Maelien and a full bench, Robert Rose, of the Sltakspeare beer-honse, L eam i ng t o n, was charged with keeping his p rem i ses o p e n for the purposes of bet ting. The information was laid by Thos. Parker, fruit erer, Warwick, who depos e d to h a ving bet s s. to 10s. with the de fendant that Electricity would win the sweepst a ke at New market.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Su ,—.fir. Durham's letter on this subject in your to-day's paper evidently proceeds from the assump tion that the committee intended to remunerate him for his own labour—an assumption not warranted by the facts, as I shall proceed to show. Mr. Dur ham agreed with Mr. Hall to execute the memorial for 100 guineas—cost price in fact—for he asserts that he did not desire any gain from it. Mr. Hall then proceeded on this understanding, and in mo ney and promises raised about £7O. In 1868, after the matter had been in abeyance for three years— for it was originated by Mr. Hall in October, 1865 I consented to become Honorary Treasurer, and at once set to work to raise the requisite deficieacy, using a prospectus Mr. Hall drew up and bad printed, in which appears the statement that he had " obtained from Joseph Durham, A.R.A., a design for a monument, the estinuted cost of which would be about £l5O, Mr. Durham being willing to under take the work for the mere expense of employed labour and materials." At my interview with Mr. Hall he told me that a friend of his in Glasgow would supply the railings at cost price, or, if ne cessary, " for nothing." Between August 31 and October 20, 1868, I got in about £194, and finding I had enough money for all purposes, I called a meeting of the committee at my office to give pro per authority to Mr. Durham to proceed in his work. The meeting was held on the 26thof Oct., and Mr. Robert Browning having been voted into the chair, called on Mr. Durham to produce his design and. ex _ _ _ _ plain it. Mr. Durham did both, and Mr. Hall men tioned the railings in the same terms as he had done to me in August. Mr. Durham said the memorial could be erected for about £lOO, but on it being under stood that railings and more ground might have to be purchased the following resolution was passed (the Chairman saying to me, as a matter of form, " 1 suppose we've money enough, Mr. Treasurer ?" to which I replied in the affirmative) :—" That the design of Mr. Durham be adopted, and carried out within the proposed sum of £150." Mr. Dur ham then undertook the entire work. The com mittee next discussed for about half an hour what inscription should appear on the pedestal, and as soon as a decision on the point was arrived at, and a motion put and carried, the chairman called on me to make my financial report. I laid on the table a statement of moneys received and promised, and sums paid and owing for advertising, printing, &c., and stated that, taking the outside cost of the me morial at £l5O, we should have a surplus. I re quested that I might be authorised to announce that no further subscription was necessary. Whilst I wrote the resolution a discussion arose as to what should be done with the " surplus." I looked up, and suggested that it should be applied to the pre servation of the memorial. Mr. Durham here said that as the material would be Sicilian marble, which would last for ever, it would not require " preser vation ;" and he added, " If there is any surplus I should be glad if you will give it to me for my la bour." The request was heard in silence, except a " Yes, ' yes," from Mr. • and by way of getting out of an awkward pause, the chairman held in his hand the resolution I had written and put it to the meeting. It was, of course, carried ; and upon its authority I did announce to the puyic " that no further subscription is necessary.' With a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting broke up. This is a simple record of the facts, and in case it should be rema rked as curious that I did not make my financial statement first, I may explain that it was perfectly well understood among us what funds were applicable to the work in hand ; indeed, immediately before the meeting, Mr. Browning's subscription was limited to a guinea, as we had " enough, and more than enough, money," as Mr. Ilan pat it. Of course, being aware of the general knowledge of the state of things, I felt it would be egotistical in me to open the proceedings of the meeting. Besides £l5O was the sum named in the prospectus by Mr. hall. After the meeting I had some correspondence with the chairman, in which I expressel sarprise at Mr. Durham's request f )r the " surplus," after being advertised for ti ree ) cars as honorary sculptor, and said that if the commit tee had contemplated payment to a sculptor they would, I suppose, have asked for designs from other sculptors as well as Mr. Durham, and selected what they considered the best, as was done for the 1 Thomas mood Memorial ; and the chairman replied that ho agreed with my view, adding, with re gard to Mr. Durham's request, "But the silence which followed was significant enougb, and I hope you will hear no more about it." Yet Mr. Durham acts and writes as if the committee, on the 26th October, 1868, had agreed to remunerate him for what he had volunteered to do gratuitously ! I _ _ have within the last few days laid nay remembrances before Mr. Browning, as I have just recorded them here, and he replies,—" I entirely agree with every word in that letter; the facts were just as you say ; indeed what do you want of me more in the way of corroboration than that passage in a letter of mine you quote to me?" This disposes of the idea that obtains in the mind of one gentleman that the committee voted Mr. Durham £l2O for the memorial and £3O for himself ; or if not (so runs this gentleman's " exactitude of memory") they agreed to pay Mr. Durham out of the surplus. It scarcely matters to him which ! Mr Durham says the com mittee voted him £l5O. I deny that the resolution adopting his design votes him - £l5O absolutely—it simply votes the payment of expenses of carry ing out that design to any amount under £l5O. The next meeting of the committee was held on the 27th July, 1869, and Mr. S. C. Hall took the chair. Mr. Durham reported what he had done, and laid on the table a sketch of the railiugs,which the com mittee admired, and said would do very well. Nos a hint did Mr. Durham give at the possibility of the £l5O being exceeded. We then decided who should be asked to unveil the monument, which Mr. Durham said would be ready for inauguration on the 19th of October. When this matter was settled I said " That is all the business ;" and Mr. Hall then said across the table, " Well, Joe, don't you want some money ?" Mr. Durham answered " Yes." Mr. Hall inquired, " Will a hundred pounds do ?" Mr. Durham said "Yes;" and a resolution was passed, voting the £lOO, and confirming the resolution of October 26, 1868, limiting the cost of the memorial " within" £l5O. The resolution is worded thus, is in Mr. Hall's handwriting, and signed by him :—" That the sum of one hundred pounds be paid over to Mr. Dur ham, A.R.A., on account of his claim for the monu ment to Leigh Hunt, in accordance with a resolu tion of the 26th October, 1868. (Signed) S. C. HALL." This resolution could hardly have been passed if the committee had been informed by Mr. Durham that he had incurred or was likely to incur expenses in excess of the £l5O, I felt that uo money ought to be paid to Mr. Durham until he had rendered an account of his expenses ; but I was silent and paid the cheque, hoping that on the day of settlement he would be able to satisfy us in every particular. The next meeting of the com mittee was held on October 8, 1869, at which I re .. ported Lord lioughton's consent to unveil the monu ment, and I received authority to arrange for the ceremony, issue tickets, &c. I reported that, after paying everything, we should have a surplus, and suggested a complete list of the subscriptions being advertised in the Times on the day of the cere- mony, ... so that the public might know who had done homage to Leigh Hunt's me mory. The cost was estimated at .£l2 or £l5. After some discussion this was unanimously agreed to, Mr. Durham being present throughout, silent, and therefore it is to be supposed acquiescent. No more business was done. Mr. Durham was asked by Mr. Gruneisen, the chairman, if he wanted any money, and he replied—" No ; let it stand over till the next meeting." If Mr. Durham had asked for the remaining £5O I should have oppose] its payment until Mr. Durham had convinced the committee by vouchers that he had spent the entire 41.-150 on the memorial without profit to himself. The ceremony took place on the 20th of October. I called a " final" meeting of the committee to wind up the affair. Mr. Geo. Godwin presided, and I laid on the table a statement showing all the sums paid and owing, appropriating £l5O to Mr. Dur ham, leaving a clear surplus of £7 lls. 2d., which I considered good management. Of course Mr. Durham's bill of extras, when read, changed the aspect of affairs, and although I read all the resolu tions which had been passed, and the passage from the prospectus, and pointed out that a deficiency instead of a surplus was Mr. Durham's fault, the committee by a majority—for all did not vote— allowed his claim. I refused to collect any more money and thereby stultify the committee and myself, and Mr. Edmund Oilier good naturedly, but, as I think, very unwisely, undertook to do so. It was understood that no public appeal for money was to be made. I was ordered to pay Mr. Durham the "balance" of £5O, and considering that as his "extras" had been allowed it would be folly to question his expenditure of the £l5O, I paid him the money. This time he did offer me the vouchers for the extras amounting to £4l 12s. 6d., but I refused them, as I did not question his payment of the sums, but protested against essential parts of the memorial not being covered by the £l5O Since the meeting I have been taken to task for " ignorance" and " mismanage ment," because I had not obtained from Mr. Dur ham the vouchers for all his expenses out of the £l5O, which he now denies my right to have. I did write to Mr. Durham touch as he repre sents, and surely if he has spent the entire £l5O on the monument - , as well as the £4l, he can have no reasonable objection to my having the bills for both amounts. In the absence of these bills, sub scribers generally will think Mr. Durham has made a profit out of what he volunteered to do without profit to himself. The public sulscribed in the faith of Mr. Durham's giving his own labour, and the committee had no power to act inconsistently with that understanding without first consulting and obtaining the consent of every contributor. Mr.W. Carew Hazlitt, for one, who brought £l3 3s. from himself and friends, assures me that if he had known the monument was not " purely gratuitous and honorary,'; he would not have contributed one shilling to it. I know others of the same opinion. I maintain that the resolutions passed preclude the notion of Mr. Durham's being paid more than he was actually out of pocket ; it is impossible that they can do the contrary, as the committee bad no power to remunerate Mr. Durham any more than they could have paid Mr. Hall, Mr. Oilier, or myself for our ser vices, if we had been mean enough to ask for re muneration. I have simply related the history of the entire proceedings of the committee, and in doing so ain. convinced I have given the most con clusive answer to Mr. Durham, who omits all dates —speading over several meetings matters that were settled previous to the passing of the very first resolution. I repeat that if he wants to make his position tenable he will produce his vouchers for the expenditure of the whole £l5O, as well as for the £4l. Mr. Oilier says we ought to have those vouchers, and blames me for not ob taining them prior to the last meeting. In reply to Mr. Durham's implied charge against me of ex travagance, !allow me to say that every penny I have expended of the fund has been sanctioned by the Committee, before whom I have laid every bill and receipt. Owing to the matter having lain in abeyance for three years I had to spend £l3, in ad vertising in 1868, to restore public confidence ; and, again, owing to the delay of a year by Mr. Dur ham, I had to spend as much money last month in advertising the ceremony of unveiling, and that tickets might be had on application to the honorary officers. About £4 has been spent in printing ; about £3 10s. more in postages. I have written between 400 and 500 letters in the matter, and sent out through the post about 200 tickets ; and the rest of the money has gone in £4 engraving in the Art Journal ; Kensal-green Cemetery Com pany for platform, police, turf, &c., at " unveil ing," £5 12s. 6d. ; expense of list of subscri bers, &c., in Mr. Hotten's Memorial Edi tion of Leigh Hunt's Essays, £lO ; and sundries (i. e., stationery, &c.), £1 17s. ld. ; leaving a balance of £7 11s. 2d. Considering all the circumstances of the case, I do not think the matter could have been done with equal eclat for less money. That Mr. Durham should m ar th e brilliant conclusion of what his friend Mr. Hall originated and worked hard f or gra t u it ous l y , b y allowing money to be collected for himself on the strength of the love that exists for the me m o r y of Leigh Hunt, is a matter so pai n f u l t o con t em pl a t e , so foreign to the soul of a true lover of art. that I quite concur in the hope that Mr. Durham will be " shamefaced" on a recapitulation of the facts, if he was not when h e ma d e w h a t , i n th e a b sence of evidence to the contrary, mus t b o considered an unjustifiable demand on the committee. It is little to the purpose that his charge for a similar monument would be 280 guineas ; he agreed to erec t th e one in question to Leigh Hunt "within the sum of £150," and to make no profit out of it—to do it, as he sail, with tears in his eyes, to Leigh Hunt's grandson, " for nothing," beca u se of his "love" for Leigh Bunt! Very hands o mely indeed has he fuled that l-Npro mise. The Memorial itself is beautiful: how sad that it should be made hideous b y the dis closure that it is the offspring of—not Love, but-- Cupidity Yours Ldthfully, S. It.

A communication, dated from Blackpool, Thursday evening, says :—" Since Tuesday night a groat storm ha s been raging here, and at noon to-day it appeared to culminate. For many hours the wind has been blowing at a hurricane pitch, and between eleven and one to-day the tidal water rose to a greater heigh t and with more violence than the oldest inhabitant call remember. On Tuesday night the water ran very hig h ' sweeping down several walls, &c., on the south-west side° f Blackpool. Early this morning the storm was renewed' At noon the water ran `mountains high;' many houses were flooded to the depth of 2ft. or 3ft., and in spite of closed doors fastened up with clay, and drawn shutters' the violence of the sea broke in upon several, sweeping round and coming in at the back with immense fury t he spray of the waves dashed over the houses, and some Per sons were apprehensive that the whole of South-shore was going to be washed down. The water between the ISO chestei and Fox-hill Hotels rushed over the walls nth amazing force, and eventually flooded the Blackpool all' Lytham Railway, a portion of which was washed away. I ° trains have been able to run between Blackpool and Lytil a ' to-day, and travellers have had to pass to 'and fro by other conveyances. The two piers have stood the storm well, although considerably shaken at times. Fortunat ely ' the wind blew to-day from the north-north-west ;if i; had come from the south-west terrible destruction we'll" have been caused. This evening the wind is blowillg hard, and the tidal water of this forenoon has no t beell cleared out. If the gale continues great destruction is ° U. ; cipated.
