D OAT FT OF MR. JAMES MORRISON.

Mr. James Morrison, ofßasildon-park, Berkshire,
one of the "Merchant Princes" of the city of Lon-
don, died on Friday afternoon at his country seat,
where, in a declining state of health, he had resided
for some years. Mr. Morrison was in the 68,11 year
of his age. In mental character, and with immense
riches entirely self-acquired, this great millionaire
was a remarkable man. We believe Mr. Morrison
was a native of Hants ; born of yeomen parents
originally ot Scotch descent. Early transplanted to
this metropolis at the end of the last century, the
country boy first set foot in London, unaided, in
search of his fortunes. He was accustomed to say
that he was thus launched in life and in the City
with no other means than the principles and habits
an excellent mother had given him—an " in-
debtedness" to a female parent which most boys
largely owe. His first employneent as a warehouse
as-isrant procured him a bare maintenance ; but his
industry and trustworthiness soon secured a part-
nership in the Fore-street business of the late Mr.
Todd, whose daughter he married. So far it may
be said his start in life was accidental, but Mr. Mor-
rison's constant rise in life was no accident. His
enormous wealth was the result of his own natural
sagacity, perseverance, and integrity. Moveover,
he possessed the great faculty of quick penetration
into human character, and the tact of attaching to
his various mercantile concerns the aid of partners
and managers for the subdivision of the labour of
his establishments. His great merit was that he
made the fortunes of many other city men. Through-
out life this faculty of discovering and planting the
right men in the right places was more or less carried
out in all his applications of growing capital. Dur-
ing the long course of his devotion to trade and
commerce Mr. Morrison's mind never stood still
Every social change in business—in demand and
supply—he keenly discerned and promptly acted on.
Thus his great parent business in Fore-street has
retained to the present time its lead among rivals.
After the close of the great continental wars,
and the consequent rapid extension of popu-
lation and wealth, Mr. Morrison was one of
the first English traders who reversed his system
of management of an entire departure from the
old exaction of the highest prices. His new
principle was the substitution of the lowest
remunerative scale of profit and a more rapid cir-
culation of capital. and the success of the experi-
ment speedily created his pre-eminent wholesale
trade. "Small profits and quick returns" was his
motto. Other houses soon followed in his wake,
comparatively successfully ; but the g.nius which
originated the movem-nt, notwithstanding active
competitors, maintained its supremacy. The
rapid increase and vast profits of the " dry
goods trade," as the Americans term cotton, woollen,
and linen goods, are illustrated by the warehouse
palaces which, of late years, have been erected in
' London and in our great provincial manufacturing
towns. Almost within half a generation this internal
and foreign commerce has been thus revolutiouised.
The result to Mr. Morrison ix middle age was the
accumulation of his large original fortune. His
re-investments, of course, were thenceforwards
variously extended beyond his legitimate business,
and his enterprises at home and abroad were attended
by almost invariable success. For several years
past he had been one of the principal purchasers of
British land, his most considerable properties being
in Berke, Bucks, Kent, Wilts, Yorkshire, and
Islay, in Scotland. He had a " born interest" in
agriculture, and few men better appreciated the
real value of good and bad land. He measured
rent by the nature of soil, the timber, the surplus
or lack of water ; the numbers, character, and con-
dition of the local labouring class ; the distances
between produce and markets ; the quantum, of
poor-rates ; the commutation of tithe ; and the
costs of land management. Acute observation,
calculation, and reason guided him in all he bought
or sold ; and if he foresaw a probable bad debt he
' took care to lessen, if not to "cover" it.
Mr. Morrison, from his earliest settlement in
London, was associated with the Liberal party in
he city. At periods called "the worst of times"
he was foremast in the ranks of the Reformers ;
nil. did his later gain of immense wealth ever vary
his political principles and conduct in public. We
believe that his first seat in the House of Commons
was his successful contest of the Cornish borough
of St. Ives in 1830. On the dissolution of Parlia-
ment in 1831, occasioned by the Reform question, ho
did not return to his offended constituents, having
honestly supported the partial disfranchisement ot
that small electoral body, St. Ives being place:'. by
Lord Grey's Bill in schedule B. In December, 1832,
the first general election after the Reform Acts, he
was returned at the head of the poll a representative
of Epswlch, but was defeated in that borough ou the
" Peel Dissolu. ion," January, 1835. On an election
petition, Sir F. Kelly and Mr. R. A. Dundas beiug
ousted, Mr. Morrison, with Mr. Wason, on a new
election headed the poll. On the succeeding disso-
lution, July, 1837, Mr. Morrison remained out of
Parliameur, and on the following December, on
the occasion of a " bye-election" for a vacancy in
Sudbury, he was defeated in a contest with Mr.
Joseph Bailey. In March, 1840, he re-entered the
House of Commis, defeating Mr. John Frazer, in
a contest for the burghs of Inverness. In July,
1841, on the general election, he was again returned
by his Scotch constituency unopposed. On the
dissolution of 1847, his health.being much impair-
ed, he finally retired. It is scarcely necessary to
record that throughout his political career in the
British Senate Mr. Morrison was a consistent sup-
porter of the Liberal Administrations ; his name
was never missing in any material votes ; his
speeches were only occasional, usually on subjects
of political economy, the currency, Poor-laws,
trade, foreign commerce, &-c. In 1836 he made
au able speech on moving a resolution relative
to the periodical revision of tolls and charges
' levied on railroads and other public works. In
1845 he moved similar resolutions ; and again,
in March, 1846, when lie finally succeeded
in obtaining the memorable select commit-
tee for better promoting and securing in Rail-
way Acts the interests of the public. His draught
report, not altogether adopted, was drawn up with
great skill and labour • and many of its principles
have since been carried out in subsequent legisla-
tion. All these valuable speeches and documents,
with observations "on the defects of the English
system of railway legislation," were collected and
published by Messrs. Lon amen in an octavo volume
in 1848. Mr. M'Culloc%, in his Literature of
Political _Economy, has mentioned this labour of
Mr. Morrison in the public service with approba-
tion, observing that snore good would have been
effected had legislation not been too long delayed.
Nevertheless, in consequence, Government has
secured powers of surveillance for the prevention of
accidents, and many increased facilities for the
transmission of the mails. Mr. Morrison through-
out his public life was an advocate of free trade
and a follower of James Mill, Huskisson, Ricardo,
and Powlett Thomson.
Mr. Morrison, though a self-educated man, in
manhood fully made up for any deficiency iu his
early instruction. The formation of a library at all
periods of his life was his favourite study ; all the
subjects of inquiry to which he applied his strong
common sense and his subtle mind he mastered, and
he never conversed or wrote on principles or data
on which he was not well informed. He was a
lover of art, and formed a large collection of
valuable pictures of the old masters—ltalian
and Flemish ; and also a gallery contain-
ing some excellent examples of the English
schools of painting. Dr. Waagen, in his
Treasures of Art in Great _Britain, enume-
rates 30 pictures of Mr. Morrison in Harley-street
as of the highest value ; and observes that "the
specimens of costly plate, objects in ivory, Raphael
ware, and other tasteful objects are quite in keeping
with the other works of art in this tine collection.'
The pictures at Basildon-park the German critic
also describes in detail as "a collection of a very
high class." If occasionally " taken in" he resold
or exchanged. There was no trade of which he
did not fin out the trickery and guard himself
against its consequences.
It has been the fashion at times to decry a " new
rich man," and especially the self-created million-
aire. The class, like all classes, lies its weaknesses
and peculiarities of distinctive character ; but
antiquity of descent in no European country
has a monopoly of position and social influence.
From the lower class originally stdspring hiher
order, and the former can supply the declining
complement of the latter. Intellect and industry
will force themselves into the arena of social com-
petition and the field of cosmopolitan adventure.
All classes hero their separate merits and demerits,
all their different social habits and manners. The
men who are born of themselves, and who create
large fortunes, may be too apt to overvalue the ac-
quisition of wealth ; and those " born with silver
spoons in their mouths will too commonly pro-

Merchants'

Claymical

digally spend riches they inherit. But all classes
should not be judged in their use of money by a
common standard.
We understand that Mr. Morrison, to his honour,
has moat equitably distributed his immense wealth
and estates among the members of his large faMily.
In the relations of private life few have surpassed
him, nor had he really any vanity in wealth, though
he might, perhaps, have better estimated its worldly
value and use. Mr. Morrison's accumulations may
be estimated as nearer four than three millions
sterling, and a considerable sum of this prodigious
private fortune is invested in the United States. In
proof his singular sagacity and foresight, we are
informed that no port,on of his Transatlantic capi-
tal will be ultimately lessened by the recent tempo-
rary "panic' and monetary disturbance in that
country. All his investments will " hold on" to a
probable increase. The cautious capitalist never
nets more profit than after times of national adver-
sity.—Times.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 1.
Tho British and North American Royal Mail
iteam-ship Niagara, Wyckman commander, has
arived with advices from New York to the 20th
ult., and Boston to the 21st ult. She has brought
64 passengers, but no specie.
The screw steam-ship Edinburgh, from Glasgow,
bad arrived at New York, and the Royal mail
steam-ship Europe, hence, at Halifax.
The Canadian Royal mail steams-hip North
American, hence, passed River du Loupe on her
way to Quebec on. !,.he 19th ult.
A communicaticin from Washington states:

" Information has been reosived here from the
South that Walker's expeditions—one to leave New
Orleans and the other Galveston—have been de-
layed in consequence of financial pressure until the
Ist of November. They do not expect to meet
with serious, if any, opposition from the Federal
officers. They propose to land at some point in
Costa Rica, on the Atlantic coast, and then march
on San Jose, the capital of that Republic, which
they expect to reach in two days. Their calcula-
tion is that when they capture it the whole country
will be in their possession. The aggregate of the
Filibuster force is from 1,800 to 2,000 men."
Official orders had been received at the naval
yard to fit out a fast steamer which would be de-
spatched to arrest the expedition.
A great fire, attended with some loss of life, had
occurred at Chicago. The damage was estimated
at $600,000.

The Washington correspondent of the .New York
Herald says :
" Advices received here represent that New
Grenada is disappointed iu the convention lately
agreed upon between General Herren and our
Government ; and further, that the President has
been authorised to sell the Isthmus."

Colonel Summer had been charged with the fal-
si(ication of his official report, and was called upon
by the Government to answer the accusation.

The steamer Tropic struck against a snag in the
Missouri river, and 12 or 15 people were drowned.
Indiana had choien Chase (publican) representa-
tive to the Congress.
The New Yor Courier and Inquirer of the 20th
says—" The extraordinarily rapid extinction of
bank credits is fully shown in the we"kly report for
to-day. This report includes the statements of 51
banks instead of 52 for the previous week ; the
North River Bank being the only additional one
that has not reported. It was generally supposed
last week that there would be no further curtail-
ment of loans ; but it seems that the actual reduc-
tion of the three loading items is as follows (after
allowing for the North River Bank) :
" Loans
" Specie
" Deposits
" A large portion of the deposits was paid in
specie, and another large portion has been applied
to the extinction (to a similar extent) of discounted
paper. The remaining reduction may be traced to
the curtailment of country hank balances. The
pressure for bank accommodation is still great
among our merchants—good paper cannot be passed
to-day undor 11 per cent per month. A. due regard
to the financial wants of the community, and to the
interests of the bank themselves points to a mode-
rate increase of loans instead of a diminution.

have decreased during the past week as follow

"The process of curtailment in loansshould cease
here if the banks have any desire to sustain their
best friends and those fully entitled to consideration
and able to show a sound condition. In fact, a
concerted move to increase their loans 10 per
c,-.nt, during the week (as in Boston) would for the
time relieve a large number of solvent parties and
servo to strengthen, rather than impair, the re-
sources of the banks. A measure of this kind, to
be serviceable, should be general, and the proposi-
tion to this effect at the Clearing-house should be
voted viva voce, so that the community should
know who are the parties opposed to such measures
of relief. The movements of the banks are of too
much importance to the community to be kept in
the dark. The merchants should be informed as
to who are the parties that have contrived er com-
bined during the late revulsion to force a contrac-
tion of the currency and the loans.
"The Metropolitan Bank has decided to receive
New England Bank bills on deposit, according to
the terms indicated in the following notice :
" Metropolitan Bank Notice.—This bank will
take on deposit, at per cent. discount, all New
England money which is received at the Suffolk
Bank. Boston, (this for the present excludes all
Rhode Island)--paying for the net proceeds the day
after it is received and counted by this bank, re-
serving the right to reject a large or unusual
amount of any one bank. No bank can draw on
account of its remittances of New England money
till the day after it is sent forward. Interest on
your account will cease on the 31st inst.
" ' GEORGE 1. SENEY, Cashier.

"The success of this measure will depend on the
ability of the New England banks to furnish New
York exchange in return for their bills. It cannot
be expected of the Suffolk Bank or of the Metro-
politan Bank, that they can retire these bills for
many days without adequate returns in par funds.

effect to lessen the supply of bank shares on tare

ment since Wednesday. The relief felt in money
affairs is such as to create further inquiry fur t 10

"Foreign exchange left off at 100 to 103 per cent.
One or two leading banking houses settle.l credits

N. H. Wolff and Co. had resumed payment.
Lutcher Wrightson Bank was about to resume
business.

At a meeting of bankers at Cincinnati it was re-
solved to receive at par the notes of the New
Orleans banks, and the notes of all banks also that
are bankable in New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, and Baltimore.
The Bank of New Orleans was paying some specie,
and was about to resume entirely. Messrs. Patey
and Hawkins were also about to resume.

At New Orleans the bank presidents had agreed
to take certified checks on the Citizens' Bank in
payment of debts ; the Citizens' redeems its circula-
tion with specie, but not cheques of depositors.
Among the reported suspensions are the follow-
ing :

At Providence.—The Dunned Manufacturing
Compmy.

At New York. —Winslow, Lanier, and Co. (tem-
porarily only) ; Frost and Forrest ; S. and T. Lau-
rence ; Sampson, Baldwin, and Co. _

At Boston.—W. Greonlow and Co., J. M. Hol-
den, George Forsaith, Keith and Thornton, J. W.
Carter aid C.)., W. P. Brooks.
At St. Louis.—Tesson and Dangem.
At New Orleans.—J. K. Doherty and Co., Rai-
quel and Co.
At Louisville.—The Jeffersonville branch of the
State Bank of Indiana.
At Augusta (Ga.) all the banks had suspended.
The Slate hankit, institutions of St. Louis
opened a depository for the adjoining State, also for
the currency of the New England States and tho
State of New York ; also for the notes of the Phil.,
delphia, Pittsburg, and Baltimore banks. A lana
number of the heaviest merchants advertise to r,-
ceive all currency at par.
There had been no sales of cotton for several days,
and quotations were entirely nominal ; indeed th i it,
was nothing at New York to work on.

The market for flour was dull ; with buyers for
export still holding off, and but a moderate 1-cAI
and Eastern demand, prices receded sc. to We.
per barrel.
For wheat there were mere liberal offerings f%.oni
all quarters.

Holders of corn generally demanded 75c., l,ut
small parcels were sold at 73c. to 74c. ; buyers
offered 72c.

Money continues stringent, the best class paper
still selling for 3 per cent. per month. Busiriesu,
however, continues to revive gradually. Specie,
stands at from 1 per cent, to par, and has a do wc-
ir ird tendency. The amount held by our ci,y
banks is not less than 10 millions, and compared.
with their liabilities they are in a stronger posi,iou
than they have been for years past. The Grocers'
Bank to-day voted to go into liquidation, and tile
Bowery Bank having forfeited its rights under 1113
banking law will probably have to follow the sane
course. It is rumoured that several of the banks
here are preparing for an early resumption of sp,cie
payments. The announcement in a morning paper
of the suspensbn of Sampson and Baldwin, iron
merchants, is untrue.
