From Nassau --A Colored Demonstration--A letter from Nassau, the 18th, to the Charleston Courtier, announces the sale arrival of the blockade-running steamer Ruby at Havana. The Ruby was obliged to put into Matanzas during heavy weather.

The affair created much indignation among the British and Spaniards, and much impotent wrath among the Yankees in Mataunas. I am informed that the Captain of the Arleane called on Admiral Wilkes, in Havans, and told him he would sink any Federal cruiser that should molest a English merchant steamer in neutral waters.
