We are indebted TO the Mercantile Jour

mary of news.
DEATH OF ROTHSCUILD.
We learn by this arrival that NATHAN
MAYER RoTHscHILD, the celebrated Lon
don Banker, died on Thursday, July g, al
Frankfort OH the Maine, at 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon. lie was only 50 years OF age.
His visit to Frankfort was to be present III
the marriage of his son. His illness con-
tinued for several weeks, before il terminal
ed in death. He was sensible to the last.
1t is said that lie had strong presentimen,
that he shonld not return to England but
an impression prevails that his life might
have been saved, il better professional adj
vice could have been procured than that
found on the spot. Mr. RotIschild was
emphatically speaking, a self made man -
the rise of his fortune WAS all within the
present century. He came to England in
1900, where he acted rs agent for his father
i'll the purchase of goods for the continent.
Shortly afterwards, through the agency OF
his father and the Prince of llesse Cassel,
he had large sums of money placed ut his
disposal which lie employed with cXtraor-
dincGy judgment, and his means went on
at IA rapid rate of accumulation. 1t was not
till the breaking out of the war with Spain
1908, that his extraordinary means, which
were displayed in making remitiances for
the English army in the country, were de-
veloped TO any extent, SO MS To he known to
the mercantile world generally. lie was
one of ten children, eight of whom survive
hin-four brothers, two younger aud two
older then himself, and four sisters. lie
married the daughter of Mr. Cohen, n mer-
Chant i'll London, who is said so little to
have anticipated the success in life of his
future son-in-law, that he entertained some
doubts about the prudence OF the match --
and Mr.. Rothschld was accordingly desired
to produce testimonials as to his worldly
means. The whimsical answer was, that
whatever number of daughters Mr. Cohen
possessed, he could not do better, so iAr as
money and good character went, than to
give Them all TO Nathan Mayer Rothschild.
Tile death of this eminent Banker is one
Of the most important events for London
and perhaps for Europe, which has occur
rcd for some time.-his financial transact
tons hive pervaded the whole continent
and may he said to have exercised more or
less influence on money business of every
description. No operations on an equally
large scale have existed in Europe previous
to his tmc--iOr they were not confined TO
his own capital and resources, which were
immense, but were carried on in cuniunc-
ton with his brothers in Paris, in Vienna,
in Frankfort, and i'll Naples--all of whom
possess colossal fortunes OF their own. Be-
sides which, he had agencies established in
almost every large city in the old or the
new world, all of which, under his dircc-
ton conducted extensive business of vari-
Gus kinds. Nothing therefore wns too great
or extended, provided the project was
reasonable one, for him TO undertake. All
the brothers of Mr.. Rothschild are men of
great capacity aud knowledge ofbusiness--
but il is generally admitted that they defer
red to his Judgment in all their undertake
ings, and that he was the moving principle
of the great mass of capital they replesen-
ted.
NJ. Rothschild like the rest of his brothers
held pntent of nobility with tho title of
Baron, but he never assumed il, and was
more Justly proud ofthat name under which
lac had acquired distinction which no title
could convey.
