AMERICAN MUNIFICENCE. Mr. Peabody and the London Poor Tha American llnuker'a Lt Gift One Twentieth Part of the II nelson Bay Territory lieatwwtd l iu the Poor of London. Tlie following correspondence, in which Mr, reabody, the American banker, supplements his tirtt gift of J75O.000 to the London poor, by another benefaction of the probable value of $000,000, has been published: London, January 29, 18G0. "When I made a donation of 150,000 tor the benefit of the poor of Loudon hi Maroh, 1G2, it was mv intention, if my liie was spared until . mv retirement irom business, aud Providence continued Die In prosperity, to place in your bauds, as trustees ol ttie onariiy, a iunuer gut lor the same object.

Taking the lolnt capital of the two stfti Bt a minimum of 250,000, It w 11 form a fund, the oDei ation of w hich is Intended to be progres sive in iw usefulness as applied to the relief of the poor of London, without exclusion in conse quence of religious belie' or political bias. It will theretore act more pjwerfully in lnture Beocratlons than in the present; it is Intended to endure for ever. A century in the h'story of London is but a brief period comparatively wi'h tbe life ol man, and should your successors con tinue the matiasrctnent ot the charity at you have bepun It, it is mv ardent hope and trust that within tlmt period tho annaal receipts from rents for bnildings of this improved class may present such a return that there mav not be a poor workinemen of pood character in London who could not obtain comfortable and healthful lodpines for himselt and family at a cost within bis means. "You are fnllv authorized to uie any portion of the fund In biiilding lodging houses for the lal oring poor, dm tsprced in my tormcr letter; but. as belore many jrars it is to be apprehend ed tht desirable nites lor Mich buildings may bo diflicult to obtain nt mo.lrte prices within the limits of the metropolis, in thut event, it is my desire that my truwtces for tlie time being may reck out and' secure at such rat at the state of tho fund may warrant, such froehrtld Bites within ten miles of the present Royal Kx chaufre as may appear eligible, both on acqour.t ot salubrity of position and proximity to the great centres of labor and railioad accommoda tion, due repaid being had to the probiible bur den of taxation. It may also be demrablo to obtain iiom railroad companies tho most econo mical arrangements procurable lot tho convey ance of woiking people, at stated hours, to and from London, at such modcralo fares as will come within their menus, "Comfortable and convenient honsci arc lo be erected upon those piles for tho exclusive accom modation of the honest and industrious poor of London, under such regulation and on sach terms and conditions as my trustees mav direct, subject only to the guiding principles laid down in reepect to my lorrarr donation. "As dwrllincs in such sites may in some in stances be remote from schools, and other facili ties for instruction, the trustees shall be at liberty in such coses, t-hould they consider it netdlui, to set apart space aoiacent to the build ing, for icbool houses lor the chil dren of the lamilies holding tenemants. But such schools must be bo organized as carefully to exclude sectarian iclluenccs, aud bo conducted as to avoid denominational jealousy. With tula view it is mv desire that the course of education shall be exclusively of auj elementary and lite rary character. "As some of these dwellincs will probably be at inconvenient distances irom good markets I would alto, suggest to my trustees to consider the propriety, in localises where it may seem to oe required, ot proviaine witn n ine nuuainzs, or near to them, apartments in which the ten ants may organize co-operative stores for sup plying themselves with coal and other neces sary articles for their own consumption, subject to such regulations as in the Judgment ot my trustees may be needful. 'It havine occurred to me inav lor goon rea sons my trustees may wish, at a comparatively early period, to chance some part or parts of the cieeu wnicn isw uu yirpiuuu iv umuK.-iuii of this fund, I therelore hereby authnriia them ta uo so at tinv nine durimr my imhiuuit to any refofiition or resolutions which may be unanimously parsed by their Board aud approved oj me. in conclusion, lookmtr to tho ob ect of this donation and to the large development in com ing years ot an arrangement designed to pro mote the physical, mortl, and social welfare of the deserving poor ol the metropolis, I entertuin a strong aiKi earnest nope that the project will so commend ltelf to the sympathies and judg ment of the inhabitants of London as to insure on their part that interest and co-operation which will secure to future generations of the poor those com torts wnicu, witn tne otessing ot rroviuence, it is my ooiect to Deatow upon them.

We feel that we only anticipate the satisfaction and eralitude of the public when we express to you our own on the receipt of your letter announcing this enlarge ment ot your already abounding ceierosity to the poor of London. Tlie importance of this second gift is not to be measured by its money value alone: it will im part an autrmentedusctulness to the unexpended portion ot your previous donation, by enabling it to be applied over a eroatly enlarged area, as well as to give increased comforts and accom modation in the buildings to which it may be appropria'.Pd. The most moderate return from so large an 1tv vestment will furnish a permanent income, the judicious expenditure of which must in time exert an irresistible influence in raisins the character ot that class ot houses which are now occupied by the laboring population in all parts of the metropolis; and thus to a remote posterity your name will continue to be held in grateful rememberance by the people of London, as the Denetactor ot the poor on a scale hitherto un equalled in this or any other country.

Jay Cooke & Co. will open their New 3 ork bou6e to-day, on Wall street, corner of Nassau, opposite the Treasury office, for the business of private banking, in connection with their Washington and Philadelphia offices. The firm will be represented ou the Stock Exchange by ote of the resident partners, Mr. Edward Dcdge. It is stated (hat Mr. Pitt Cooke, of Ohio, aid Mr. Fahnestock, late of the Washington cflice, are also to become resident partners in New York. The New York Tribune this mcmlng says: Money Is 7 per cent, on call, and the strongest nouses nnv it lreely for larre amounts. After small biokeramake up their accounts they are ready toil lei d small balances at 7 per cent, to save interest. In commercial paper no change: 7 is aslosrag pume bills can be quoted on tho street ; good 83, ai d ordinary lCfe.15. and some oven higher. The disposition to avoid long engagements for' money continues, and, until Congress disposes of tbe loan Din, can loans at mouerate rates ana long paver at exorbitant interest will be the rule. With out additional legislation the Secretary has ample power to tree tbe country from tne flood of circu lating money which deranges ail balances. All that is needed is the exchange of oomonnd notes for lei at tenders. Ihe latter, in a abort time, by tho accumulation ot intercut, would pass Irom ciiculation, and produce a healthy contraction airoug speculators, whether In lauds, merchandise, or Hods. The substitution ef compound notes lor leeol tender EOtea would soon oblige the National Bunks to contract, and redeem a portion ot their ouculution, a process which v.-ouid not alarm the publio, however unprofitable it might be to tbe own erb of the banks, eoine of thorn would probably liquidate, for tbore is no lack of speculative btuis- in the system, which onuld do well spared, Ono argument in lavor ot the syHtenr wn, that it was a financial necessity giowing out of the war. They weie p aoed upon the footing of non-clads and large armies, and ui on that argument were established, the war heincr onded. tUere ia no reason why speculative Lanka should not. like the Iron-clads and the armies. be reduced to a peaoe footing, llio national system will be much improved by liquidation at the North to an exteutfUflloient to supply the r-outh with the banking laoilitios it noeos. ine present law li com prehensive enough for the entire nation, and Con greaa should proceed with caution in the way of en laiinBB it.
