NORFOLK, Aug. 10th.
Capt Tobias Moore, of Richmond, one of the
mates of the Philadelphia line, was lost over
board yesterday morning off Chingoteague.-
lie was sitting on the lee rail of the steamer
Virginia, near the wheelhouse, when the ship
gave lurch which pitched him overheard
Planks, stools, &c were thrown to him i'm
mediately; the ship was stopped, and boat
lowered but he had on heavy pea coat and
the sea was running very high, which proven
ted the combined efforts of the crew and pas
sencers from being of avail; for in three min
utes after he fell he had sunk to rise no more.
He leaves widow and several children in your
city. who will be overwhelmed at this sad and
unexpected news.
Cant Moore was 81 years of age and was
well known on James River, having been
pilot on it for twenty years. He was on the
IN fated steamer Norfolk, of this same line
which went down in a gale off the same place
some three years ago, when he in company
with Capt. Kelley, was instrumental in saving
ALI the passengers and the entire crew. 1t is a
sad and singular coincidence that he lost his
as ever trod a deck, and leaves large circle of
friends in Richmond, Norfolk and Philadel-
phia to moan his sudden and deplorable fate.
His wife is now on a visit to Philadelphia
The steamer Stagg collapsed a flue near Win
ton. N. c., on Wednesday, She runs between
Black water and Edenton. Steamer crippled,
but no one hurt.
The markets are somewhat dull. Wheat
comes in slowly, and only to meet local de-
mand The mill here is grinding day and night,
and we quote: for ordinary TO fair white s .05
to St15 and from Sl.0O to Sl.06 for red, with
little or no tone in the market. flour.-The
supply fully equal to the demand. Sales of
common shipping superfine have been made at
$3.50. For this description the demand is the
largest. Good superfine is quoted dull at S. rs
asG extra S6aa6.5o; uniform choice bakers
only bringing the highest prices for csnsump-
ton. Dried fruit is declining Hides are in
demand. Beeswax is also in demand. Cotton
is nominal with little or no transactions.

Cast of Washington.

The last cast Of the WASHINGTON Statue In
the Capitol, made by our young artist, VALEN-
TINE. has ELECTED emphatic praise from COM
petent judges. Mr.. VALENTINE is young gen.
tleman of decided genius in his profession, and
bids fair to become one of its brightest orna-
ments.

Soldiers Becoming Farmers.

We observe thatin France and England. SOL
diers Of the regular service have been put at
the disposal of the farmers in getting in their
haryests. This is much better business than
trampling haryests down and cutting off peo-
pies heads. 1t is a pity all the armies of the
world could not be employed in like manner,
and never permitted to resume their old oceu-
nafion

EXPIRATION IN BADRN.-The Baden gov
eminent has recently made some declarations
regarding the REPATRIATION question. 1t is de-
clared that the Government of Baden does not
require American naturalized citizens, who
have been subjects in Baden, to perform duty
there in case they return, even if they have
emigrated without consent-that is, if they
return merely for a visit. It's presumed
that the REPATRIATION controversy here and
the last letter of Gen. Cass, has had a whole
some influence abroad
