our city early yesterday forenoon, from Havana,
having left that port on the Odd instant
From the following translation of an order pub
lishcd in the Diario De la Marina, of Havana, on
the 22d day Of June, il will be seen that the quar-
antne regulations at the port Of Havana are To be
enforced with the usual stringcncy

cholera has spread in the United States, and there
being no proper place at this port for the accom-
mediation and separation from each other dur

sengers arriving in vessels from those ports it has
been determined not to admit, while said causes

in sailing vessels in the latter they can ride out
the quarantine which may be imposed upon
them. Vessels arriving from infected ports shall
undergo twenty days Of rigorous quarantine,

clean bills of health, shall undergo an observation
of eight days, after which they will be admitted
to free intercourse should there be no just motive
to prevent it."

LATE FROM AFRICA.

The brig Lauretta, Capt. Thurston arrived this
morning, brings late advices from the west coast
Of Africa, having left Sierra Leone on the Goth May.
Capt Thurston has furnished us with the follow
ing information.
The armed schooner Lark arrived at Sierra Leone
from England on the 18th of May, and sailed for
Monrova on the 14th. This is the vessel presented
by the British Government TO the Republic Of Mon
rovia. She is of $50 tons burthen, rugged with q
foretop-sail and topgallant-sail and carries four
brass guns. She was sent out under the command
of British naval officers, who would deliver her to
the authorities at Monrovia and join some of their
own vessels Of war upon the coast.
Two slavers were condemned and sold while
Capt. Thurston was there. One on the 10th, and
one on the 18th Of May. One Of them when taken
had 900 slaves on board. A schooner, also, WINS
brought in on the 9Th of May, but had not been con-
demned when Capt. T. left.
The Lauretta left at Sierra Leone, May 20, the
brig Delaware, Forsyth, Of Philadelphia, for Gam
bia, to sail about May &c. The schooner Joshua
Brown, Hill, Of Salem, sailed for Isles de Los on
the l1th Of May. Brig Planet, Williams, of Salem,
was at Matacong island on the 9th Of May. The
bark Ethcldrcd, of London, and ship Agnes, of
Liverpool, were lying at Sierra Leone, waiting for
emgrants to the West Indies. Their time Of sail
ing was uncertain
The bark Recovery, Of london, Capt. Summers,
came up to Sierra Leone from Yaury Bay, (wherc
she had been loading with timber,) leaking 30 much
that they were forced to keep both pumps steadily
at work, and could then only just keep her free.
When the Lauretta left she was up the river dis
charging her cargo, that the crew might get at the
leak, the position Of which was known.

of pedantry and nonsense. II was argued on the
one side, that water assisted in the decomposition
of such vegetable substances as might be thrown
into the streets, and consequently engendered dis
ease; while it was insisted on the other side, that
inasmuch as our streets were proverbially clean,
there was no vegetable matter for the water to ope-
rate upon. The question was discussed until 10
o'clock p. M, when the savans adjourned, ofcourse
without coming to any conclusion--for whoever
heard or read of doctors agreeing. The councils,
who take commendable interest in this vastly inn
portantsubect, understand, have appointed a COM
mittee to investigate the matter. II is also rumored
that the question has been sent for discussion to
"down east debating society.
The case of John Freddy, charged with the
murder of his wife, alluded to in my letter of yester
day, was submitted without argument to the jury,
who, after the charge Of the judge, retired at 9
o'clock to deliberate, and at 10 O'Clock returned
with verdict Of "not guilty" The testimony for
the commonwealth was circumstantial, while the
witnesses for the prisoner (his mother and sony
swore directly and positively that she committed
suicide and his COUNSEL in his opening, stated that
the reason that Freddy endeavored to keep this
fact secret, was on account of the peculiar views
which Germans entertain in their own country, Of
those who die the death of the suicide. In Prussia
the body of suicide is not treated with the respect
that others receive who die in the course of nature
