George Peabody.

The telegram from London, informs
us that the Bishop of London preached
the funeral Of George Peabody at West
minister Abbey, on the 18th inst.
& The Bishop said in his discourse =
"NG uptitlpd copmoncr has ever gather
ed sucif concourse of sincere mourners
around his grave, He labored to relieve
the wants of the poor and by them he
was beloved, as by all those who sympa-
thize with poverty and honor benevo-
lence. 1t was his benevolcnce. 1t was
his business to gather and his joy to
give. Two nations will ever reverence
his nape, (which forms another bond of
union between England and America"
Grand and stately euologg from the
mitred priest of England, noble lauda-
tion spoken in the grand altar of West
minister AbbeYland resomding, through
the aisles and'anong the arches of the
Church of England's mobiles and cchoing
AiuuuS tic vaults WueTc DeF kings arc
sleeping. =
Grapdly dirgcd the organ in conso-
nance and responsive 70 the spoken eu-
logy, and as it difges7 through the dim
aisies and struck amid the fretted arches,
it seemed to cbaunt his funeral praises.
Vast was the lthrong, and high. born
lords and ladies were there to weep
around his burial.
But greater honors are his. The poor
made happy by his bounty, the sick, re-
stored by his kindness, the sad, rejoiced
by his charity, these all as they utter his
praises in their hearts and on their
knees, these tell his grandcst eulogy
and the grand songs of praise and plaud
its, ringing through the arches of Heay-
ems own temple, this will be the grand
est eGlogy this will be the grand music
of his. dirge, these the honors that are his.
