Arrival Of the Daniel Webster.

The detention of the Webster was caused by
the failure of the Star of the West in making
her usual connection at San Juan on the morn
ing Of the 30th ult The Star Of the West was
grounded by the Jamaica pilot in the harbor
of Kingston for over three and half days,
which put her behind her time, not arriving at
San Juan until the evening Of the Sd July, not
having sustained any damage. The same
evening at nine O'Clock both ships left the har-
Dor, the Star with $50 passengers and eleven
hundred thousand dollars in treasure for New
York, and the Webster for New Orleans.
Everything was quiet at Greytown, the only
vessels in harbor were the Royal Mail Steamer
Taviot, Capt. Sawyer, and the British schooner
Bermuda, Capt Jolly, carrying one gun amid
ships crews all we'll. The Cyane had not yet
arrived, The revolutionary party in Nicaragua
are still beseiging Grenada; the place, it is
thought, will hold out but short time longer.
One Of the new boats, the l. Ogden, intended to
ply on the river San Juan, had arrived The
health of the Isthmus was good, and the river
in the finest boating order.

An awful calamity occurred on Sunday, 18th
