wollen factories, and lO5 founderies. The follow
ing is the produce of some of these factories-a
in Canada West:-Of fulled cloth, 624,97l yards;
Of linen, 7l,7l5 yards; flannel, POS, l72 yards
The total increase in the annual production of these
articles in six years has been 664 l4l yards-he in
crease being very nearly equal to one yard for each
individual OF the population. The whole ofthe in
crement, however, has occurred upon the wOollen
goods, as there is considerable falling off in
linens, which we have deducted to arrive at the
above figures.

SAN MIGUEL, Sept, ls4s.
Singular Shipcreck-Ihe Trade of the Pacific Sea-
ports-7hs English - The King of the Most
quitos, &C., &c.
The celebrated Indian, Carera, who was the
cause of the downfall of Morazan, in Guatemala,
some eight or ten years ago, and succeeded HIM to
the Presidency, has been driven out of the city by
what are called the "factionists,' and, it is sup
posed, will not be able to regain his footing again
He was the one who imprisoned the editor of the
album, of Guatemala, for writing somewhat
literally in his paper.
We had quite singular loss of brig called the
Frederic Capt. Splisola, off Puerto Anna in Mica
ragua, the other day. On the 4th of July, he sailed
from Rialjo, and when he had made four days.
sail, standing about 60 leagues from off this point,
a whale came with tremendous force against the
keel, carrying away it and several planks and, of
course, the water began to fill the vessel imme-
dlately. The captain, to save her, began to throw
out his cargo, but all to no purpose and, after
fruitless attempt of some twenty-five hours, he was
Obliged to abandon her. Cargo and vessel a total
loss. She had cargo of near $40 000 belonging
principally to the merchants Of San Miguel She
was loaded with indigo and hides, and bound for
Lima, where she was owned !; and am under the
impression that nothing was insured owing to the
fact that we have way OF insuring on this coast
suppose you have heard, ere this, that the Hon
duras government have declared, by decree Of
November Z, l847, the island of Tigre, in the Gulf
OF Conshagua, or Fouseca, free port" to con-
tinue as such for ten years on the strength of
which the house i am with have put up large
storehouse there, and we are going to do business
on free scale,. and not pay twenty per cent on
our goods. This island is situated beautifully on
the Gulf of Fouseca, and vessels can anchor within
two or three hundred yards of store, having in
the channel about from seven to nine fathoms of
water The captain OF the Brewster, from New
York, when he was here, said he had never seen
more beautiful harbor. When we get our new
line of steamers from between New York and
Chagres, and Panama and the great CALIFORNIA;,
they will have to touch here, and no doubt the
United States government will be able to make a
very good arrangement with Honduras for it, after
the expiration of the ten years. Be this it may,
1t is the safest harbor on the Pacific coast, between
Cape Horn and Acapulco. The island of Quibo,
near Panama, that the government spoke of buy
ing, has not the advantages that this one possesses.
If that "great canal' ever connects the two mighty
oceans, this will then be the principal harbor, as it
Is the only safe one between Panama and all the
coast of Central America.
The English have too much interest in all the
Pacific South American trade to force the opening
of the canal their merchants one hundred to
one on this coast, and they are afraid Lima will
fall Valpa raiso, and, in fact, all the South Amer-
ports in the Pacific, because the trade will go
new towards California and Central America.
They, may stick up an Indian King, but that does
not blind us to the farce. / suppose their present
King is like the former King Robert, of the Mos
quitoes, who went to Belize to be received by the
authorities, and after they had gone through the
ceremonies, he retired to Polly Somebody's grog
from muddy gutter into which ne had fallen, on
his return TO his kingdom. Some American cap
tain invited him to dine board his vessel at Ja-
maica, and, when he was eating, ordered two of
his sailors to tie him up to the mast, and then
taking ropes end, gave him thirty.nne, at each
cut saying, &c You the id Indian who stole
my two demiohns of rum.''
| must conclude; and if at any time it may be
agreeable TO you to hear from me, let me know
and, as far as PLAIN matter-of-fac things are con-
cemed, why, will be happy to give them to you
in PLAIN, matter-of-fact way. Respectfully,
AN AMERICAN.
p. S.-Carera has gone to Mexico, and his
brother was murdered by the factionists, in Qua
temala, and dragged through the streets like
a dog. The government has issued procanla-
ton against all his party, threatening death to
them.
