FaoM HAvANA.-Ry the bark Amos Patten,
Cap,sin Thompson, we have Havana papers to
the 25th uit


i large fire occurred there on the EVENING" Of
Inc ooh, destroying an extensive splft waFchoas
gvith It's contents and appurtenances al the corna
of Sol and San Ignicio streets. Loss estimated
at over 100000. Real loss nothing except the
bulldogs.


Tic severe drouth which had prevailed at
Puerto Principe, and 10 some extent Throughout
the island, YVES relieved on The 9th ult. by'
copions shower of two hours duration. The para,
graph containing the announcement, Is dated
Puerto Principe May IL. Previous to TINS rain,
water was so scarce at that place, that well and
river water sold at halfa real six cents for t"'
bottles, and cistern water at one real for one oot
tic, and difficult to be obtained ut any prce..


We infer from an article in the Havana Fan
Of May Goth, that the rain was not 60 abundant
in that vicinity; for it speaks Of the drouih ,'
"sti prolonged" In fact, the writer says, =" ~
has not rained for two years, with the accustomed
regularity" and that the same remark IS appl'
cable, in greater or less degree, to the oIbe'
West India Islands. A Guiana Porto Rico
date of May 4th speaks Of the drouth in th.i
vicinity as very severe.
