From Fayal.—We learn by the Harbinger from Fayal, (Azores) through the kind attention of a correspondent, that the extreme drought, of which we had such distressing accounts, was followed by copious rains, and that the crops revive. The vintage has been unusually abundant, over 19,000 pipes of wine having been made in Pico alone. The quantity of oil left by the whalers in the Islands is unusually large, and vessels are much wanted to bring it to the United States. The accounts of the earthquake at Terceira are confirmed, the port was destroyed and several persons perished.
