New York, Aug. 11. - A correspondent who has been taking a look at and about Samana Bay writes of the Satnana Ba,y Company as follows : This coinpany commenced operations by building a hotel on the top of a inountain, which, in this climate, I would cali inaccessible. It is half finished, and that part is already rotten by rain and sun. Little further down the ïuountain, a billiard-room, or rather bain, is half finished, and has also gone to decay. Still further down cotues the tiovernor's house, Prof Howe's sinall wooden shanty, containing three very sinall rooms with kitchen attached, and to get up to this house in this hot climate, is a task that none would seek for pleaaure. I visited them, and at every step lizards of all colors would bouuce out of the grass as well as in the houses. The company sold all its old furnituro in the shapo of dosks and chairs early in June, and the only thing they now possess is a small steam launch going to decay, as no coal is there to run her, and no tiade. The Samana Bay Company is absolutely defunct and forgotten there, and has lcft nothing behind it upon whioh to build a monument or a scrap of ground it could cali its own.
