no -words can speak too highly. He is a
hero, deserving ' the highest honors of a
publ'ti receplion. , He ahrinks, however,
from pojHilar iiotoriely, and even his pres
ence on Change was wauling on Saturday
when our oldest and best merchants, on an
impromptu call, orea nixed to. acknowledge
his noble services to the wrecked crew and
paatcnger of tbe ill-fated Saa Francisco.
bven bis whcrealxruts was not known until
last evening, when he was induced to ac
cepfThefoTfpilahliea if the Astor House.
His conduct during the five daya of trial
and a.iaistance at the wreck, ia universally
described as the brightest and moat ebeer-
ing feature of the dreadful scene Ilii
Promptness and determination, and willing
ancriiice oi every, uiieresi ana convenience
attached to his own ship, were ouly sur
passed by hia brave confidence in success,
and tha manly, cheerful confidence which
he constantly imparted to the diaponding
