The CONDUCT THE SPANISH AUTHORITIES IN
CUBA TOWARDS AMERICAN VEssELs.-On the l6tn
of January last, the brig Alice Bentley, Captain
Dunbar sailed from this port with a cargo of salt,
bound to the port of Nuevitas. She took out
clean bill of health from the Spanish Consul re-.
siding here, the Consul stating In 1t that the cho-
lera had ceased to exist here long time before the
departure Of the A. b.
The brig arrived at the mouth of the harbor of
Nuevitas on the eth ult., when the captain in
formed the authorities that he had clean bill of
health. and desired to enter his vessel accordingly
This the authorities refused to permit, and ordered
the vessel to proceed either 20 Havana or ST. Jago
de Cuba, doth of which ports are five hundred
miles distant from Nuevitas,) to be quarantined.
Instead Of complying with this extraordinary de-
mand, Captain Dunbar returned to New York,
choosing this course rather than going to Havana
or ST. Jago, and beating back from thence to Nue..
vitas against the trade winds. This voyage has,
therefore, been a heavy expense, without any re-
turn OF profits to the owners.
Our merchant vessels are subjected to continual
annoyances of this kind at the hands of the autho.
rites OF Cuba, and their owners complain bitterly
The Spanish Minister lin his public notification last
month, relating to the quarantine regulations in
Cuba did not intimate that vessels with clean bills
OF health would not be admitted to other ports than
Havana and st. Jago He should have so an
nounced,llf he intended to enforce such regula-
ton. Our merchants would then have escaped the
snare into which they were led by this omission.

AFFAIRS BROOKLYN. The inhabitants OF
Brooklyn are very much interested on the subject
of the new charter which they have applied to
the State Legislature for. Many amendments
have been made to the draft sent to Albany for
legislative sanction. 1t appears that part of the
citizens were opposed to certain proposed altera-
tions in the boundaries of wards, and Populations
have been sent the State capitol to lobby against
the obnoxious sections.
The authorities of our sister city have also ia
ken inltlatory steps towards procuring the passage
of a law empowering them 90 construct canal
five feet deep below low-water mark and four feet
above high-water, one hundred feet IN width and
about mile in length. The object proposed to
be accomplished by the construction of this canal
IS the draining of Gowanus Meadows, and the re.
moval of the mIasma which now prevails In the
neighborhood Of Prospect Hill. The estimated
cost OF the work nearly 100000. The project
meets with opposition from some citizens, who are
In favor of filing up the meadows and construct
Ing streets, with ample sewers under them. The
advocates of the canal say that this filling In and
sewer building would involve an enormous expen-
diture of money, and would require many years
some say an hundred-for Its completion.
We opne that our neIghbors over the rlverwl not
have 1t In their power much longer to eer about
our heavy taxes. without giving good reason for
just retort They must have, shortly, an efficient
police they must light their city; they must drain
their marshes, cut down their hills, and fill up
their low grounds and, IN short, they must incur
the heavy expenses of large city government
These will all bring taxes, and taxes must be
levied upon Brooklyn property. Whose urn will
1t DO to laugh then?
