LATE PROM PoRTo RIco.-We
learn from Captain Kirwin, of the brig
Fashion, at this port yesterday from
Ponce, P. R., whence she sailed on the
Esd ultimo, that when he sailed there
we're a number of English, French and
Dutch merchant vessels in port, who
would be obliged u leave in ballast, as
the crop Of sugar had nearly all been
shipped. Produce was scarce and in
good demand. Sugar was selling at
1915 to S4,95, and Molasses at 14c.-
There has been an abundance of rain,
and the young crops were represented
as looking very promising. Accounts
from the Windward Islands had been
received at Ponce, stating that upwards
of forty vessels were driven ashore and
wrecked during the hurricane Of the
I1th and 12ih OF July.-BaIt. Amer.
