Destruction, of sam juan.

The steamships Promctheus, from Punta
Arenas, and Illinois, from AsplnwalI, arrived
at New York on Monday, the former with
$500. .S53, and the latter with s977, ,44S In spe-
Gle on freight.
The Prometheus brought the following par
ticulars respecting the bonrbardment and burn
ing Of San Juan or Grey town by the U. s.
sloop ofwar Cyane.
The Prometheus arrived outward on the
morning of the 18th, at s o'clock, having touch
ed at Kingston for coal. Found in the harbor
the U. S. ship.of-war Cyane, commanded by
Cart. Holns, which had arrived at San Juan
del Norte on the lth instant, in 81 days from
New York, commissioned to settle certain diff.
ficuties between American citizens and the To-
cal authorities. Also to demand full and sat-
isfactory apology for an insult given, short
time since, to Hon. Solon Borland, our Minis
ter TO Central America.
The authorities and residents of the town
refused to make the slightest apology. After
giving ample time, and no reply having been
received, Captain IIollins, on the 18th inst,
issued a proclamation to the authorities and
residents that, unless an apology was made
by 8 A. M., on the 18th, he should without
further notice, proceed to lombard the town.
No apology came! He, in the meantime, took
possession of the Transit Company's steamers
and sent them to the town, Offering protection
to all persons who chose to accept. And,
within one minute of the time desi ignated by
Capt. H., the cannonadug commenced, and
continued with short intervals, to 3 p. NJ
During the intervals no disposition was mani
tested on the part of the inhabitants to come
to terms for the saving of the property. At
4 P NJ, party landed, commanded by Lieu
tenant, and burned the town. San Juan, or
GREYTowS, on THE 18TH, WAS ENTIRELY DE-
srRoYED! One or two small buildings, at the
suburbs, remain to mark the spot. No lives
lost Mr.. Scott, agent Of the Accessory
Transit Company, rendered free passage, by
the Prometheus, to all who wished to leave
A few accepted the offer.
The Cyane sails for Boston on the l7th inst.
and takes Mr. Fabcrs, our Commercial Agent,
home. Officers and crew oil well.
The Fl. B. NJ. schooner Bermuda, the West
India Company's mail steamer Dee and Brit
ish merchantmen were witnesses of the same,
lying in the harbor at the time. The reyolu-
ton in Nicaragua and the difficulties at San Ju,
an have not interfered in any way with the
transit of the California passengers over the
route. The rainy season has now commenced
in earnest The steamer Pacific connecting
with the Promethcus, arrived at San Juan del
Sur on the evening of the 18th inst. She left
San Francisco on The night of the lst, and out
side the Heads met the steamers Sierra Nevada
and Yankee Blade. The Prometheus left Pun
ia Arenas on the 18th inst.

SOUTHERN ENrERPRIsE.-The Louisiana
Manufacturing Company, located in New Or
leans, with a capital of sl25,0o0 is owned in
Mobile, recently declared dividend of ten
per cent. on the capital stock, out of the earn
ings of the past six months.
This company is successfully prosecuting the
manufacture cf bale rope and dressing hemp in
the city Of New Orleans, under Slaughter &;
Perry's patent, of which they hold the right to
all the Southern States, and the result of their
business during the first six months OF their
existence is very encouraging, especially so
when it is remembered that with full force
Of operatives, and chiefly "green" hands, who
have had their duties to learn, and only half
their machinery in motion, till within week
past, they have had to contend with a heavy
expense without a proportionate production.
They arc now turning out daily 10000 lbs.
bale rope, and 10000 lbs. dressed hemp, which
meet with ready sale at home, at renumerative
rates The labor employed is chiefly that of
slaves owned by the company, which obviates
successful prosecution of manufacturers, in the
objection of high prices of labor, TO the South.
The factory builiings-built of brick in a most
substantial manncr-wcre purchased en- very
favorable terms, and are located i'll an annual.
ly improving portion of New-Orleans.
They have amply sufficient power and room
to add more machinery for the manufacture Of
either hemp or cotton cordage, whenever the
demand for these articles require it.

amount of two millions of dollars, is reported
to have mysferiously disappeared. 1t is said

The liabilities of himself and brother amount
to about five millions, while the assets it is
supposed will not reach half o million.
