THE LATE ME. PEABODY.

The death, which we announce to-day, of Mr. -George I
Peabody will cause general regret. The deceased gentle-
man occupies a place as a benefactor of his race among
the highest in English hearts. He was born in the city of
Danvers, Massachussetts; on the 13th of February, 1795.
He began his business life at the age of 11, when he was
entered as a junior clerk in a grocery store at Danvers.
Four years later, the lad proving to be a smart young fellow,
with an ambition beyond " groceries," he became an ap-
prentice to his elder brother, at Newbury Port, but
this business being brought to a close after a short
time, the boy went to live with his uncle at George
Town. The war with Great Britain was at that
time going on, for it was the year 1812, and the
uncle was a volunteer soldier, and speedily a general.
George served under him, and was engaged at Fort War-
burton; but at the close of the short war he returned to
his original pursuits and became a merchant in the city of
Baltimore. He succeeded Se well that with great generosity
he charged Himself with the maintenance and education
of his fathee•'s,family. In the course of years he thought
ho could still further extend his business by coming to
England. He first visited this country in 1837, and ulti-
mately settled in London in 1843, as a merchant and
money-broker. His buiiness was of the same general des-
cription as that of the Rothschilds ; but it dealt solely, or
nearly so, With American interest. But business was not
his only thoitght. When a mere youth he had made
this solemn'vow :—" If God spares my life, and prospers
me in business, then the property of which I may become
possessed I will devote to His glory in seeking the good of
Ley fellow-men wherever their claims may seem most to
rest upon me." That vow has been faithfully and nobly
kept. In 1851, while residing in England, he supplied the
arranging and garnishing of the United States depart-
ment of the Great Exhibition. He contributed, in. the
following year, to the expense of the American
expedition, fitted out under Dr. Kane, for inquiring
into the fate of Sir John Franklin in the Arctic
Seas. In the same year he revisited his native city of
Danvers, and founded there, at a cost of £30,000 an educa-
tional institution. In 1857, he built and endowed in
Baltimore an instiution mainly devoted to science, and
including a free library, which several years ago had
already cost him more than £lOO,OOO. Magnificent, how-
ever,
as were these acts, they were quite cast into the
shade by that which he afterwards did for the London
poor. On retiring from business in 1862, he presented the
City of London with the sum of £150,000, to
be applied to the benefit of the working classes
by the erection of comfortable and convenient lodging-
houses ; and this sum was doubled in February,
1866, by the gift of another £150,000. What rendered this
act of bounty the more beautiful and touching in spirit
was that it occurred at a time when, owing to the civil
war and the Trent affair, a good deal of ill-feeling existed
between Great Britain and America. The freedom of other
cities besides London was conferred on Mr. Peabody, and
her Majesty (learning that that was the only form of
acknowledgment he would accept) addressed to him
a letter expressing her sense of the grandeur of his
gift. That letter ran as follows :—" March 28, 1866.
The Queen hears that Mr. Peabody intends shortly to
return to America, and she would be sorry that he should
leave England without being assured ley herself how
deeply she appreciates the noble act of more than
princely munificence by which he has sought to relieve
the wants cf her poorer subjects residing in London. It
is an act, as the Queen believes, wholly without parallel,
and which will carry its best reward in the consciousness
of having contributed so largely to the assistance of
those who can little help themselves. The Queen
would not, however, have been satisfied without
giving Mr. Peabody some public mark of her
sense of his munificence, and she would gladly have
conferred upon him either a baronetcy or the Grand Cross
of the Order of the Bath, but that she understands Mr.
Peabody to feel himself debarred from accepting such dis-
tinctions. It only remains, therefore, for the Queen to
give Mr. Peabody this assurance cf her personal feelings,
which she would further wish to mark by asking him to
accept a miniature portrait of herself, which she will desire
to have painted for him, and which, when finished, can
either he sent to him to America or given to him on the
return which she rejoices to hear ho meditates to the coun-
try that owes him so much." Mr. Peabody, in reply, says :
"The portrait which your Majesty is graciously pleased
to bestow on me I shall value as the most precious heir-
loom that I can leave in the land of my birth, where,
together with the letter which your Majesty has addressed
to me, it will ever be regarded as an evidence of the kindly
feeling of the Queen of the United Kingdom towards a
citizen of the United States." Mr. Peabody never sym-
pathised with the irritable feeling towards royalty some-
times evinced by his countrymen. On one occasion, in an
• assembly of Americans in England, he had the moral
courage publicly to denounce a man—and he a high
official personage—who had rendered his name ignomini-
ow-1y c(,nspi:mous as, perhaps, the only being so utterly
destitute of the spirit of chivalry as to refuse to the Queen
of these realms the honour and respect which even the
enemies of her crown generously accord to her royal person.
Mr. Peabody evinced throughout these proceedings

a great dislike of publicity, from which ho shrank with
the utmost delicacy of perception. Ho lived in great re-
tirement and simplicity, and only once appeared in public,
when he presented himself at the close of the Working
Classes Industrial Exhibition in the Guildhall, and re-
ceived an ovation worthy of the man, and of his work.
Since then, a bronze statue of the great philan-
thropist has been erected close to the Royal
Exchange. The first block of buildings erected
by Mr. Peabody's money was opened in 1864
in Spitalfields, and since then other blocks have
been built in Chelsea, Bermondsey, Islington, and
Shadwell. They arc not intended for habitual paupers,
but, like Miss Burdett Coutt's dwellings, are designed for
working men and their families, especially for those who
have been crowded out of their old houses by the recent
metropolitan alterations. Shortly after his second mag-
nificent gift, Mr. Peabody left England for his native
country, where he resided some time, and where he pre-
sented to Harvard University 150,000 dollars to establish
a museum and professorship of American archaeology and
ethnology. The United States Congress, in March 1867,
passed a vote of thanks to him for his gifts to the people!
but the highest reward of such a man is in the conscious-
ness of great gifts gloriously used, and groat riches con-
verted into mighty and prolific blessings.

A RACING CA SE IN THE QUEEN' $

BENCH.

--___,.....

On Thursday, Mr. Iluddleston, Q.C., applied for a rule
to shew cause why there should not be a new trial in the
cause of "Price v. Webb and Others?' The defendant!
were the stewards of the Worcester Races, and the plaintiff
entered his horse, The Turner, to run for the
Wordsley Stakes. The horse won the first and
third heats, but was alleged to be distanced
in the second by a horse belonging to Mr. Dimmock,
whereupon the latter walked over the course and
claimed the stakes. The distance was disputed
by the plaintiff, and he brought an action
against the stewards, Messrs. Webb, Jones, and Sparrow.
On the trial Mr. Webb stated that he had been named
steward, but was not present at the race. Mr. Sparrow said
The Turner was distanced, and that Mr. Dimmock ought to
have the stakes. Mr. Jones disagreed with this, and under
these circumstances the stakeholder refused to pay over
the stakes. The jury, under the direction of of Baron Piggot,
returned a verdict for the amount claimed, with costs.
The object of the motion was to set aside the
verdict on the ground of misdirection, and that
it was perverse. The Lord Chief Justice asked, if he should
bo steward of a charity dinner, was he to be answerable
for all the expenses ? The learned counsel might take a
rule.

Mr. R. T. Smith, secretary of several Liverpool
building societies, is miming, and an examination of his
accounts has disclosed defalcations amounting to about
£1,400.

THE WELSH FASTING GIRL.—At the request of
several medical and other gentlemen in Wales, it has been
arranged to send three reliable nurses from Guy's Hos-
tal to watch the girl who has lately boen the cause of so
much curiosity in the public mind, and thus, once and fox
all, expose the imposition in which she has been so long
cncouraged.—British Medical Journal.

A MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISEMENT FROM THE
FAR WEsr.—Ka-besh-co-da-way, an Indian chief, is in
want of one more wife, having now but three, and offers
the following inducements through the Chicago Tribune :
" He sail that, in case we should hoar of any worthy
white lady who might be at all disposed to consider the
propriety of becoming one cf his better halves, we might
say to her that he has a good, large, warm house, built
for him by his Great Father ; that he has always been
kind to and has never yet struck any of his present wives;
that he would treat a white wife very kindly and con-
siderately; that ho would divide with her his property
and that he and his other wives would -give her the very
nicest and best of everything that could be had to eat, and
that they would all do everything in their power to make
her contented and happy in her new home. In reply to
another question of ours as to whether he considered that
his stock of love was large enough to distribute, to a good
advantage, among so many wives,-he simply said. ' Ka.
fesh-co-da-way's heart is big.' ";
