CorroN-The press kilograms which came to
hand from Liverpool last night having been less
discouraging than the private dispatches received
early in the day, the market opened moderately
firm this morning. Advices from New York of an
unfavorable tenor came along at short intervals
during the forenoon, however, and had the effect
of counteracting, to some extent, the reaction
created by the European intelligence, but fair
inquiry prevailed throughout the day, neyerthe-
less, which resulted in sales of 1000 bales, inclu-
ding 800 bales taken by two buyers without the
intervention of brokers. The market is still IN
settled, however, but as priceshave assumed more
steadness we are enabled to present the subjoined
figures as closely approximating, if not wholly
reliable quotations, at the close of business this
evening, viz: Ordinary 32@33c., good ordinary
34@35c, low middling 36@37c., and middling 39@
40c. The above are, Of course intended as the
rates for round lists, and do not apply to small
lots, which afford no indication of ruling figures

Theodore DWIGHT, a well-known citizen, died
at his home in Brooklyn yesterday, aged seventy
years. He was the son OF the late Hon. Iheo-
dore Dwight formerly member ofCongre5s from
Connecticut, and afterwards Tor many years
editor of the Daily Advertiser in this city. He
was graduated at Yale College in 1914, In the
largest class that had ever left that college,. Fss
His life was spent in literary and philan-
thropic pursuits, to which he was most dlsinte-
restedly devoted. He early adopted the practice
of acquiring languages in the spoken way, ana
his proficiency was such that he was able to
converse with readiness in French, Spanish,
Italian, German, Greek, and to some extent in
Hebrew and Arabic. he could also read and
translate from all these. He was an early advo-
cate of changing our method of studying creek,
so as to teach it as living language; In which
idea he was understood to have the concurrence
of the late President FELTON, and other eminent
Grecians of this country. ksz1sss
violence of his heart, and his ardent love oil
liberty made him the ready friend of the various
political exiles who, at one time or another,
have sought refuge on our shores, from Spain,
The MosqueTas, Garibaldi, Rivera, Orestes, ana
many other living patriots in all those coun,
tries will feel that they have lost true ana
earnest friend. ,
At the time of his death he was diligently en-
blowing every leisure moment in the transla-
ton of Spanish works into English, and English
into Spanish, to promote the introduction OF
our usages and books into the schools of the
Spanish-American states, and to increase the
mutual interest and intercourse of our respec-
tive countries.
He was man of the most sensitive upright
ness and sincerity, and always ready to confer a
favor or lend a helping hand in any good work,
without sparing his own labor and with small
regard for his own interest. In this way he
lived and worked, without any sensible abate-
ment of activity or ability, up to the very end
of his life.
On Monday last he accompanied his married
daughter to Jersey City, where she took the
tram to rejoin her husband in the South. AS
he took leave of her in the car he found the
door fastened, ana before it could be opened the
train had begun to move, so that in leaping
out he was thrown down and severely bruised.
His daughter saw him fall, and entreated that
the tram might stop; but, we are told, without
effect, until she had been carried to consider
able distance, when some gentlemen interposed
and the conductor consented to set her out upon
the track, with her two children, one babe,
and without attendant, to find her way back on
foot as she might. She was able at length to
reach her father, and found him alive, con.
scious, and peaceful. He lived 10 be brought
home, to greet and comfort his family, and then
departed before the break of day.-N. Y. Eoen

commanded by Philadelphiap.

Ofhcered, Captain Cooksey commanding. week
Perenced very stormy weather going down the
Delaware, and on reaching Cape Henlopen
found a heavy gale blowing outside. The Cap
tain deemlng 1t prudent, we dropped ancno5
and waited till Sunday night, when, the wlnd
having abated, we put out to sea. The weather
was moderate till Tuesday noon, when II Desah
to blow very fresh from northeast. In the even
ing it had gained force, ana AZ 1. mon'gus Nc
hurricanes il has ever been the lot oil man 10
witness. No one could stand on deck, Inc
wind tore up everything that presented the
smallest surface. The sails were rent III tnou-
The sea was terrific; the waves, lashed into
fury, ran mountain high. The ship was tossed
TO carry her to the bottom. The sea breaking
over her, stove in the sky-lghts and came pour
ing into the cabin in torrents, drenching every
thing contained therein, save few berths on
the lee side OF the upper cabin.
The night was fearful; and when day dawned
il only showed us more clearly the horror OF
our situation. The wind, instead of abating,
only increased with the rising of the sun. Thus
il continued till noon when the hurricane began
to abate; and at O'Clock Z. M. the sea had
gone down sufficiently TO allow our ship to
resume her course. She had been hove to and
kept head to the sea since the midnight De-
fore The condition in which the store room
was found next morning battles description.
1t was semi-liquid mass, of the consistency of
soft soap, covering the floor to the depth of
about eighteen inches, composed of ale mo-
lasses, soap, eggs, and what not beaten to-
Eetber by the violent motion of the vessel. For
tunately our fresh provisions were preserved
and we made out passably well afterwards.
During those twelve hours OF dreadful sus-
pense the ladies devoted much OF their time
to Christian worship, and appeared perfectly
resigned to the will of Providence; they be-
haved remarkably WELL We owe our lives TO
the ability of the Captain and the selidity of the
vessel
On Monday, sth, at 7.3O P. NJ, we made the
Baltic lights and at IL we crossed the S. w. bar,
and at 2 P. NJ. on Tuesday, October 8, we we're
fastened at the wharf, where we heard of the
heartrending calamity to the Euening Star. We
were in the same latitude, but further out.
do not believe any side-wheel steamer could live
in such sea. The steamships Queen Victoria
and Daniel Webster are reported lost.
