UNSUCCESSFUL QUARANTINE DODGING.

BY the following communication it will be seen thai
some of ship-Owners are systematically at work
trying 70 introduce into port infected or putrd car
goes in violation Of the Heath laws The move in
question entirely unsuccessful. 1t is true they
brought their vessel without trouble to the wharves OF
Greenpo,t and had no difficulty to provide for the i'm
mediate transportation of the hides and skins to this
ty vet they were foed in the scheme of evadng the
i;eah laws by the following timely notice given to
the Commissioners Of Health by worthy citizens Of
Greenport We understand that the Commissioners
will not allow the hides and skins to be landed
whsrves; go the dodge is a failure, and the unlucky
shipping man has had his labor for his psins.'

P.S-IIurSdov, 9 a. m--We have understood
from the most reliable authority that these hides acd
,kins are to be put on board of the Schooner =,
Captain Virgins with view TO land them IN your
cities without, the knowledge OF their authorities.
There being No revenue cutter IN tina. port they
NAV remove them without being molested. We sui
urge the necessity Of authority from your cities
to attend to this matter.
PS No Ill a. m--There is a probability that
This cargo will be landed somewhere in Brooklyn.
