This eminent bunker, ai,id renownad benefactor of two hemispheres, /died at his residence .in London, on , the 4th in^t. The following summary | .of the prominent events of his life, j we extract from the Charleston News: j "In 1795, when George Peabody j was born at Dun vers, Massachusetts, i wasmngion, with ail his honors thick J .upon him, wore tho official robe as President of the' how-born Republic. His boyhood tvas uneventful; but in .tho war of 1?G2 ho saw actiro eorvice as a volunteer. Steadiness, patience and integrity enabled him to move surely upward, and in 1837, when ho established himself in England ho was already known as a capable and successful merchant. Many monetary transactions on the part of the States of the American Union wero entrusted to Mr. JL'eal^ofly, and in revolutionary JSJ8 he largely contributed to the restoration of the credit of the -stale of Maryland. * Tin- )?' :}>!iit generosity of Mr. Poa;>o-i. iir-1 itself at the Intersst .>>'.:t\ KxhiSurion ol' 1851, when, at .i> if.vii e??st. he .wanged and decorated th'j def>i?kUuen?, allotted to the United fetituo.

And in his own country he was no less honored. The Congress of the United States, in 18G7, passed a forpial vote, thanking him for his gifts to tbo people. m ; ' ?
