A London correspondent writes to a New York journal as follows:
Mr. George Peabody is said to have recently declined to recognize his election to the Reform Club, a notification of which was sent him. It is well known that, on several occasions hitherto, when his name has been proposed, he has been rejected. Now that the Court Journal has indorsed him as one of the wealthiest men in the kingdom, they consider him worthy of their association. His declination of the proposed honor meets with the universal approbation of his countrymen here.
