HAVANA.
From Our Own Correspondent

HAVANA, CdiuIcbyf JhlJ q, icJp.
Ihsd but time TO briefly announce TO you in
nv letter Of the 23d inst, the arrival here Of
the American shio Hound, from Macso, China
with Chipese lsborers for rhe planters Of this
i.hpd. The Hound brought 225 Chinese, two
having died on the passage. This ship asils
from stonir gton Conn aud is owned by Csa'.
X. Charles, David d. & Geo. ". Mallory Of
that place.
On the 18th i1st the American ship Sky Lark,
stephen B. Don, Master arrived here from
sgsrou, China, with 532 Chinese.
The Skylsrk belongs 10 New York, Nessr'.
Eben, b. Croker, George Warren, Henry ;.
Jsques and John c. Common OF that City, and II.
H. Croker, Jsmes sturgis and Chas. II. War
ren Of Boston, are her owners.
/ bad inteneee to offer some strong OBJ
ser va-ions on the inpropriety Of the owners
Of American ships permitting them to be en-
plo, ed in trade not one whit less culG fable tssn
the African slaye-trade but on inquiry have as
certsiued that these tbips are chartered for con-
siderable peri.d Of time by All English company,
who Of course have the sole control Of the ships
aid the trade in which they shall be engaged during
the entire period nan ed in the charter party. Yet
the owpers Of the ships, II they were aware OF the
pesrious nature Of the trade could not Dc eatlrely
exempted from blame, because they might have
had clause inserted in that document debarring
the chsrterers frOn The right or privilege OF em-
ploy ilc the ships in so inhuman and unworthy Il
tlade. 1t is however probable that until the atten-
ton Of the public in the United States was directed
through the columns Of TIE TRIBUNE, to the cru
elites practced upon the Chinese brought to this
Island, and how completely they are held IN life
long slavery, the owners OF the ships Hound and
Sky Lark were not aware OF the aforementioned
facts and are lot therefore at all culpable. Here
after howeyer-thGt is after the expiration of the
periud OF their present charier-they will not for
tie sake Of filthy lucre suffer their ships 10 be
engaged in trade that is positive disgrace to our
ctnnon humanity.
BY chance, a dsy or two since, | obtained the
cursory perusal of 3 number of THE TRIBUNE /
believe dated IS inst In it | read the letter OF
IAN American in Germany" and certain stringent
editorial observations respecting the Doctor Hum
boldt of this city. You are, as lar as have been
enabled to ascertain, perfectly correct in stating
that his system of "PTeseryatiye incubation
against yellow fever, has proved Il failure. a med
ical friend of mine, a native OF the United States,
informs NE that Doctor Humboldt has not beeu
perm itied to iuocuate any soldiers during the
past six OF eight weeks. Although DR.. Humboldt
never said ia NY presence that he was the nephew
business man and agent did distinctly state to
ne in presenting me with photographic likeness
OF biz principal DIR. W J.. HUMBOLDT has, hJwtv-
err by Lis " humbug" (the word is not elegant bat
lis expressive succeeded in wOrniDg himself into
tie confidence of msny parties of respectability,
and has attained very extensive private practice
The Volunteers are not to be again drilled until
the month OF October.

necessary exposure to the suns rays.

the United tates regulating passengerships.
