In conse- quence of the failure of water in dry gs during the sushmer monihs, the mass of the miners, unless sup- plied by canals and ditches, engage in river mining. A vast amount of work is in progress for draining the beds of streams, and as soon as the water can be turned of by means of canals and flumes, the usual amount of gold, it is expected, will be taken out. The influx of dast | from the hilfand dry diggings, supplied by artificial | means, is constant. | estate is quiet, with but little doing.

W. Fabens, Esq. That afternoon, Capt. Hollins, Mr. Fabens, and Mr. Scott, agent of the Transit Company, held a consultation as to the course best to pursue, 80 aa to be as lenient as possible, under the existing cir- cumstances. They fixed the damages for the Tran- sit Company at $24,000, which should have been $50,000; and Capt. Hollins demanded an apology of the late authorities and the people of San Juan for the insult offered to the United States, as well as the ineult and injary done to Mr. Borland, United States Minister to Central America, which demands they did not deign to answer. On the 12th instant, Capt. Hollins sent a force of about fifty marines end sailors, under the command of Lieut. Pickering, to take the arms and ammaui- tion from the Station House, and to put op a pro- clamation, stating that if his demands were not complied with, he would, onthe morning of the 13th inst., at 9 A. M., procced to bombard the town. On the morning of the 13th inst.,at 9 A. M., Capt: H. opened his fire on the town; and after firing some 130 ehot and scell, which occupied the space of about an hour and a half, he sent a force on shore to fire the town. Being all frame buildings, it would have taken two or three days to destroy it with shot. While the town wasin flames, the British mail steamer Dee came in; but immediately left, taking in tow the Bermuda. It is supposed aho went to Corn Island. The steamer took despatches to Jamaica. The condact of Capt. Hollins, and Mr. Fabens, Consul, fiom the time of the arrival of the yane up to the time of her departure, is perfecily justifiable; they, with Mr. Scott, agreed perfectly in all their consultations, and everything was done in perfect harmony, and there was no other coarse Joft to pursue, but to burn the town. In doing this, Capt. Hollins has carried out to the letter the doc- trine of General Pierce in his inaugural address, “ that American citizeas must and shall be protect ed abroad.” The Oyane left hereon the isth for Nuvy Bay. She will then proceed to Pensacola. She bed on board Mr. J. W. Fabens, United States Consul, who will proceed immediately to Washington. The Cyane has also on board the remains of Purser Us- bam, of Massachusetts, who died on board the United States sloop-of-war Decatur, walle lying in this port, come two years ago. A. B.
