r THE GOLDS .MI DS.
The recent deaths, by suicid*, of Messrs. Benja
min*^ Abraham Gnldsmid, having excited,, much
public interest, we have extracted' the following
sketch of their lives from the “ British Characters’*
of 1802 3. It will be recollerted that Mr. B. Gold
smid put a period to his existence about 12 months
since, by hinging:—Mr. A. Goldamd ended bis
c^J*w l'i*,,*liooiing himself through the head, rpi the
lhotnihg of the 28th oi September last, at his coun
try resilience, near London,
* Bcnj tnnn and Ahraliam Gnldsmid are bnnonra
oly ami |gxt?nsivelj known on the continent as
merchants, .particularly in the line of exchanges.
As British Public Characters they are, however,
principally known hy their very extensive dealings
at the stork exrhange. .* t t o ■
These gentlemen,* who are the second and third
sons ol a respectable Dutch -merchant, came over
trom Holland with their father, while children, and
were" by him at a very early age initiated into the
first principles of merchandize. From their infan
cy the brothers were most affectionately attached
to each other, and at a suitable age they enrb&rked
together in business., y : .
t iiiHirucuon wnirh tbey rec#Hv«*d as the fruits
of thvir father’s experience,f end the volt;able for
eign fooBuriinm which he had formed, were of
themselves no mean stock for the rnnuneorenunt of
the young men’s career in life* who, to these pater
pal lequets, and some pecuniary properly, added
themselves all the personal requisites of indefatiga
(tie industry, natural acuteness, and habitual punctu
ality. It is, however, extremely probable; that the
tioldsmid# might never have arrived at that extra
ordinary degree of influence in the coinvoercjat
world which they now possess, had not fortune,
With a discernment the reverse of her general at
tribute, bestowed upon the elder of them a' boon of
pn (ess a sunt than on* hundred thousand pounds,
as an appendage to a most amiable and excellent,
wife, who was lha daughter of Mr. Solomons, of
Clapton. With the powerful addition of this l«rge
capital to their former means, it may he easily con
ceived, by every one acquainted with the nature of
the accumulation of profit, especially iu th* money
market, that such active and intelligent capitalists
required neither the aid of supernatural agency, nor
the fxpedieateofveny of the supposed tricks of
chance, to increase their wealth an hundred fold.
As a simple and neiur.l effect, industry ptoddreih
wealth—end wealth judiciously employed, as na
turally multiplies itself, as one grain of seed sown in
the .earth becomes the parent of millions.
; To exemplify this fact to the meanest capacity,
we will take the capital of the Gojdsmids at five
hundred thousand poonde. This capital is to them
qf the nature of stock in trade, it ts the article it
self in which they deal—and in selling tt dsgir and
buying it again rheap consists their gain*, or pre
cisely the same grounds as the dsaler in lead or
coals hoys those articles of the mine holder and sells
them again at an advanced price, which constitutes
his profit, '* But it maybe sifid, "it is easy to .con
ceive, that cousumable articles, like lead, tin,, or
corn, must vary in their value in proportion to
fjheir scarcity ur abundance; but how cah this
apply fo money f doea.net a pound always produce
twenty shillings P We answer, that money, proper
ly so called, that is the coin of the kingdom, or its
Representative currency, bank notes, have undoubt
edly one standard value, put the term money is
not at the present day confined to the coin, or the
currency, which portion at the wealth of the nation

To
remove sach obstacles to the exchange of property,
or eornmeiVc, it was found expedient, in the earfr
ettt ages of utilization, that there should be est«'
blished in states a universal mediom, to express
at all times a stated and invariable value. By this
medium, and the establishment of markets, we per
ceive all the opposing circumstances ip tfae Wishes
"f X Y&. removed with the utmost facility.' Y
knowing that X possesses the rorn, takes his corn
ta market and receives for it a thousand pound bank
twte, which he*iemits to Y for his corn, who sends
(We note to Z for his stock, whowgain parts with it
to the builder, and thus, perhaps, this same 1Q00/.
travels trnm a buyer to a seller in an extensive cir
cle-such was the original use of money. It must,
be plain then, that this 1000/, has served to circu
late or exchange property to the amount of 4000 ;
and from this tnstahre, by following the progress q(
its rireuleiionf an idea may be formed how im
mensely nispinportinnate may be the circulating
toedmm or currency of a kingdom to its actual
wealth. It must be obvious also that roomy, or
the circulating medium, must be scarce nr abun
dant, in proportion to tb^ activity of the various
markets, or the amount.and rapidity of articles
bought and sold. Great demands, for instance are
made tor the circulating medium, when large fleets
of merchantmen arrive from abroad, which render
large payments*necessary. Greater quantities eli'I
of this medium are rdR*d h»r when a loan is made
to government; these demnnds may for a time les
sen the quantity of currency in circulation, and,
though the money be not consumed, as before ex
plained, still its use is lost for a time, and until it
return into circulation again, there is what isjustly
termed a scarcity of money. The inference is then,
lltHi though money be not a consumable urtirle,
1:& lead or rorn, it is nevertheless a fluctuating
commodity, and liable, like other commodities, to,
he of more or less value according to its abundance '
janii scarcity in the circulation, or market.
; In fhis market the Goldsmids have for more than
50 years been wholesale traders. In the purchase
send »ile of bullion, stocks, navy bills, and exchequer
bills and in the negoriation of foreign bills of ex
change, (hey aiiooally turn millions of money.
Ibtir acute knowledge and profound experience
in money transactions, added to their unimpeacha
ble credit, and princely capital, the amount of
which we will not venture to name, have secured to
these gentlemen an eminence in the monied world
never before possessed by any private individuals.
Nor are their influence and credit dseful merely to
ii'viiioci > to* ' 'i " v’\
TIip effect of (Lem hajfe been beneficially experi
enced by the government itself, whose operations, in
very rriliral times, have been accelerated by the
seal and puclick spirit of these gentlemen, in a man
ner which entitles them lo the grntiiudeoi the Bri
tish nation. . y
We have alread^*tat|d that these gentlemen are
Jews; and if, in the present enlightened age, exam
ples were needful to prove that a “ Jew hath eyes,
h%ncfsr organs, dimensions, senses, nffcctiona, passi
ons, as a Christian hath, the families ol both Ben
j.unin and Abraham (^nldsmid ought be quoted as
moral ornaments (» society. With a spirit of
princfljjr magnificence, they are flee from pride;
with the purest and most liberal benevolence, they
are free from all ostentation of charity. Their acts
ol bounty are literally innumerable^ and are hy no
means confined within the boundaries of their own
peculiar people, the Jews. The Marine Society,
the Royal Humane Society, have publirkly expres
sed their gratitude tr? the Goldsrmds ; and there are
few charitable institutions or benevolent subscripti
ons known in this metropolis, where the names of
Goldstmris. the Jew«, doe* not rank as high in ge
nerosity as the most dignified Christians.
* These gentlemen are also honourably distinguish
ed as the lovers andqiatrons of literatnre. Among
the Jews they are honoured and beloved ; and li.eir
zealous interest in the welfare of the pour of their,
own nation bat lately been tbe subject of several
pamphlets.
In their mariners there is nothing to b> f. und of
that studious and ridiculous reserve remarkable in
many little minded men, in great and important si
tuations of life. On the contrary, the most stiik
iug features of their character are candour, frank
ness, and affability. Their establishments are suit-’
able to tbe»r great wealth, and their families are
admitted into the Very first circles. 0*> W late visit
which the royal family paid to Mr. B. Goldsmid,
at his elegant villa at Kockinghamptou, his majes
ty in introducing these brothers to the qtreen, ex
pressed bimself in terms so grarinus as to denomi
nate them hisjriendt. ' We believe them entitled to
tlie epithet; and, as in a flee country like ours, tbe
friend of |be people, we consider tbe title as reflect
ing honour on the sovereign who bestowed it, nodi
on the subjects who deserved it.

The flight of Lucien Bonaparte, the state of war

His feats and his fortune are not singular, though
to the multitude they appear unexampled and a»
lomshing. About forty years ago a work was'nuh
Iisbed in Pans, by M. Ophellm dela J^pse, >q.
titled « Melangri Philatvphiqufs,’’ which *
portray of Julius Caesar ts given in the^Afajqf:
Re git ter of 1772, so closely agreeing in likeiieee t»‘
that of Bonaparte that it amaxvs by its spirit of
prophecy, and leaves Consolatory hones arising froQS
past examples. The Article says: * , 1
“ Caesar had the good fortune to exist in timo^f
trouble and civil ehjmnotioos, when the minds of
men are put into a ferment, when opportunities of
great- actions are fr/quenl, when talents are every
thing, and those who ran only boast of their virUM*
are nothing*. If he bad lived an hundred year* sonp'
er, he would have been no more than an obscure
villain, and; instead of giving laws to the world,
woold not have been able to produce any coofusims
in it. .
“ l ">R 1,prs W bold enough to advance an idea,
which may appear paradoxical to those who j»-»tr- »
ly judge of men from what the atebieve, and*not
from the principle which leads them to act. Nature *
formed in the same moUjd, Caesar, Mahomet, Crons. ,

been the founder of a new religion; in London ip
would have stabbed his Sovereign, or procured hig
