OF the poor Of London. The interest OF this
handsome amount is to be used for the pur-
pose specified under the direction of Board
of Trust, Of which body tho American Minis
ter resident in London is to he member.
The London Times speaking of the great
deed, says: We feel sure there is no one who
hears of this noble act who will not join us
in offering to Mr. Peabody the tribute of Eng.
lisll gratitude and good will. There is in the
present age much to record Of private and
public bcneficence. Not calamity bcfals a
locality or class, not case Of obscure and
patient misery is brought to light. without a
display Of charitable feeling which does credit
to the land. But it is indeed seldom that
good works are done on the scale which this
American gentleman has now made familiar
to us. A sum which must be a considerable
portion of any fortune is alicnated by its pos
SCISSOR during his own life for tho benefit of
the poor of city where he is only a sojourncr.
There have been many among US who, from
various motives, have bcqucathed large sums,
and even their whole fortunes to charitable
uses, or for tho promotion Of literature or art.
or to carry out some scheme which was their
fancy during life. But this posthumous liberal.
ity has little in it that resembles the personal
sacrifice of Mr. Peabody. The testator de-
privcs himself of nothing he only diverts
the destination of that which he must ncces-
sarily leave behind. lie cannot carry with
him to the grave the wealth which was his
enjoyment during life; and he may without
any impulse Of exalted virtue, be willing to en-
rich an institution rather than an heir. But he
that gives during life shows an earnestncss
in well doing that is beyond suspicion. II"
takes that which ministers to the power, the
pride, the pleasures Of mankind. and gives it
to those who can make no return to him. 1t
is only in the satisfaction of good deed that
the brnefactor Of the London poor can find q
reward. He abandons a sum which is for
tune in itself. in order that the poor of that
vast. dirty. ill+kept. iIl-built city which the
wcalllier classes never see. shall have among
them one great range Of dwellings provided
with the necessaries of comfort aud rcspecta-
bility. And this he does in country which
is not his own, and in u city which he may
any day leave aud return to his native land.
Certainly such an act is rare in tho annals Of
bencvolence.
Mr. Peabody's former acts Of generosity
have been singularly useful. At Danvers.
Mass. the place Of his birth. there is ar insti-
tuition founded years since which confers great
benefits on the place. and at Baltimore anoih-
er on much larger scale has been equally

The battle of the gunboats on the Mississippi
reads like recital Of an old Greek or Roman
sea fight. Twas fight of steam rams, rather
than of gunbOsts, for the fate of the antagonis-
tic vessels was determined by the force of coils
ions. GunpOwder and steam have added their
terrible enginery to modern warfare but such
contests as these make US realize what was the
character of a naval battle of ANTIQUITY, when
the sharp proved boats, flied with mailed war
riOrs and trained rowers, came into collision on
the sess
The machinery of ancient warfare developed
itself very much as it has in modern dsvs. Onlv
the Old World lacked the two great eismsnts,
steam and gunpowder- The camp of q Roman
army and its discipline were a more perfect work
than the wsrld has since then seen. The sword,
the shield, the spear, the catspuit and batteTing-
ram, and in naval warfare the armed PROV, and
the prCjectiles, carried all the known machinery
to its highest Development The mailed steamer
was unknown; but troops advanced to attacks
against fortress walls under portable roofs The
soldiers themselves were iron plated The
Greek fire was an agency Of war which modern
society would give much to retrieve lOr its own
use.
What is the progress which two thousand
years have ma le in the aft lirs of mankind ?
Not SO much IN the arts Of war, as in those OF

The Old World made war its constant occupa-

and Rome were purchased, each in its turn, by
the misery and spoliatiOn of surrounding people
Let this war hasten TO an end so that peace
may be restored. There can be no hope for the
