The steamer Karnak, from Nassau, n p, on the
2Sth of July, arrived at this port on Thursday
morning
On Saturday morning, the 18th Of July Nassau was
all excitement in consequences Of the arrival of three
schooners, with about $50 Africans on board, in
complete state Of nudity. Three of the crew OF the
SLAYER were on board one of the schooners and from
one who spoke English i, was learned that they had
mistaken the Karuak for man-of-war steamer, not
KNOWN that any steamer Piled between Nassau and
New-Ysrk. The SLAYER was seen the morning of
Wednesday, the 18th inst, at a. m. They ran III
shore at Abaco but in consequence Of gale the pre-
vious day they had lost most Of their canvas and had
not sufficient left bear again from the land aud
finally struck Lanyard Cay, the northe east coast
of Abaco. On the arrival of the Karnak at Nassau,
notice was Civ that schooner was on shore there,
when several of the wreckers put off to the spot and
found another schooner, laden with ice and railroad
rop also on shore there, but her could not be
ascetaned as Dona Of the wreckers who had gone to
her bad returned The SLAYER left the coast with 400
slaves on board and had lost about 40. Tey are all
quite young, many of them children; about 5O are
females. They were suffering much from scurvy aud
hunger. The captain and mate are not yet found.
IL is said the former his throat the first day out
ana that the mate shortly after drowned-which,
however, remains to be proved. They had been out
&c days.
The American brigantine Empire had been ashore at
the Orange KEYS and was assisted off by the wreck
ing schooner Superb the captain of which, with two
men, went on board TO bring her to Nassau TO settle
the salvage; but soon as the Superb got out OF
sight the captain Of the Empire ordered the wreckers
OF in boat which he gave them, and then proceeded
On his voyage.

excitement among the mercantile community Of VAL

In commercial matters there nothing of importance
