Of the 18th i@t.. with the remark tnal II was Grams
mitted to the Queen through Earl Russell:
THE PALACE HOTEL,
BUCKINGHAM-GATE, LONDON. April 8. )
"MADAME:-I feel sensibly my inability to express
in adequate terms the qualification with which have
read the letter which your Majesty has done me the
high honor Of transmitting by the hands. Of Earl
Russell -.r
"On the occasion which has attracted your Majesys
attention OF setting apart portion OF my property
to aneorate the condition and augment the comforts
Of the poor of London, have been actuated by a
deep sense of gratitude TO Cod who has blessed me
with prosperity, and of attachment to this great
country, where, under your Majesty's benign rule.
have received so much personal Kindness and enjoyed
so many years of happiness.
Next to the approval of my own conscience,
shall always prize the assurance which your Majesty
letter conveys to me OF the appreciation OF the Queen
of England whose whole life has attested that her
exalted station has in no degree dnlshed her sym
pathy with the humblest of her subjects.
The portrait which your Majesty is graciously
pleased to bestOW on me | shall value as the most
precious heirloom that can leave in the land of my
birth, where together with the letter which your
Majesty has addressed to me- it will be regarded
evidence of the kindly feeling of the Queen of
tho United Kingdom towards citizen of the United
States
II have the honor to be your Majestys most obedi-
ent servant. GEORGE PEABODY.
The FINES devotos an editorial 10 the eorrespon-
denee, and remarks;
an example is one which no person is more capable
than Her Majesty of properly apprecatng, and that
she should have broken through the customary re-
strictions OF royalty in order to acknowledge Mr..
Peabodys merit is the highest honor which his mu-
nifcenee could have received. But Her Maiestys
letter bears no less significance proceeding from
the Queen of England, and from the representative
Of the whole hngiisn nation. In the letter which
Mr.. Peabody will SO justly prize he has been, rs it
were, publicly thanked in the name of England for
the benefits he has conferred on this country, and
such honor we are justified i'll saying, is the
greatest which private citizen receive. Great
as it's however, it is only worthy Of the occasion,
for. II the honor almost unnue. the Vlrtue which
been more than unworthy of Mr.. Desboiy's munif
if we had failed to acknowledge it in the most
conspicuous manner in our power, and Her Majesty
has consulted less her own feelings than the wishes
of her people in thus recording her own and tho
national gratitude"
