From the West Indies.

--A sloop arrived at Charleston, S. C., on Friday, from Nassau, with 108 sacks of salt. The Barrenness Stafford, daughter of Richard Caton, of Maryland, died lately in England. Commodore Wilkes, of the Yankee fleet, is annoying the people of the Bahamas very much by his manner of interfering in the commerce of those islands. His gunboats, the Octorara and Sonoma, move about with great activity. We notice that on the arrival of the Leopard and Antonica, from this port, that the Nassau papers mention that they left in this harbor the steamships Hero and Aries.
