KEY-WEsT. Sept. IL, 1860.
HI. Edl0i-The weather has been unusually
hot, and iattery rain has fallen in very large guam
titles, delaying the streets and Overlooking the els
terms.
The bark William, which has lately figured among
the notable things of the island, sailed for Mobile
on the 18th nit, her owner A. Pelletier going in
her. She it is said, is intended for the Carlhagena
| trade. Nous UerronS.
The Spanish brig Immalada has been on the
ways, and her keel found badly injured. She has
been repaired, new metalled, and is at the wharf.
The French ship Gree, wrecked last year on the
quieksands, brought here, and now known as La
latica, is getting ready for st. Johns, New Bruins
wick. She is bound for load of deals for London.
Sometime since two young Spaniards escaped
from Havana and sought an asylum in this happy
land, but they were pursued, and on representa-
ton of the pursucr, they were committed to jail.
habeas corpus was about being taken out--no
eXtradition freedom of the soil and squatter SOW
ereignty were tho themes of old fUgydom and
young gentlemen with one idea and growing NOUS
tache. Aleade relented, pursuers were asked TO
walk ont, freedom Of the city rendered, and with
out prosecuting for damages they went on their
way rejoicing. Now if our island tenders to the
wrecked and suffering mariner q home, why should
we not accord the same hospitality to Others that
Cuba is giving to Fowler, late of New York? We
shall see.
Solano Alvear, late President of the Cadi Els
pand, is a defauter to the tune of sl2, 100000 He
seeks our hospitahle shores, lands from a small
boat, and, with modesty becoming such an abb
stractionst, he has kept in outrageous solitude
ever since his arrival. His friends are here, but
of Alvears whereabouts they know nothing. He
of course cannot be touched legally, and as to
using force for his removal, it is absurd. What
the issue may be it is difficult to forsee.
The season has been horribly dull, and weFc it
not for the fact that negro sinners in imitation of
white ones, are getting religion, and an occasional
fight in suckerdem, and the never satisfied mos
quito have afforded some relief, we should have
succumbed generally from heat and dryness.
On the 9Th inst. the bark Fernandino, Trip,
master, from Mobile bound to Gibraltar, with rosD
and tobacco got ashore to the southwark OF Garry
ford light. The bark bged and the cargo will be
a total loss, or very much injured. The sails and
rigging have been brought down.
On the sth inst the steamer Crusader Mafft,
returned from cruise. She had not captured
SLAYER with eighteen hundred slaves, as rnmor bad
so extensively reported, Numerous slavers have
been landing their carg6es as learn. From the
proximity OF this island to the operations of the
Home Squadron, it seems desirable that in the
event of other captures of slayers, specific nstruc
tions should be given officers afioat and officers
ashore az to the case, ETC. The African depot,
temporarily on Whitehead Point, will more than
probably go in the firstheavy blow from the S. E.;
and should prize he brought in aFfer, the same
trouble OF erecting buildings, etc., will have to be
enacted.
