Do: Two month mission to Faust peror, &e., of Hayti, had been sent from Washington three months previous, by Mr. Clayton. The secret commissioner was the Hen, Benj. E. Green, « diplomatist and linguist, and fully ce nt to discharge Ue duties of that, oreven of a higherr ion. By a telegrophic despatch received yesterday, from Washington, we learn that the Hon. Com- missioner, Mr. Green, had returned in a govern- ment vessel, from Port-au-Prince, which vessel arrived at Norfolk on the Sth, when Mr. Green landed and preceeded at onee to Washington, and presented himself to Mr. Clayton. Those cum- bersome, slow-moving presses that have doubted the correctness of the Herald's sources of informa- tion in this particular, will now be fully awake, not only to the truthfulness of our statements months ago, but to the great importance of this mis- sion, viewed in any light. We shall wait with great anxiety to receive the report which Mr. Green will meke to the Secretary of State. We have strong fewis that Mr, Clayton has made a blunder in this business. ‘This government, constituted as it is, can never recognise apy empire, kingdom, or republic of blacks, directly or indirectly, without insulting fifteen States of the confederacy, and producing an exeitement in the South which could only be al- layed by instantly abandoning such a principle of recognition. We notice that Mr. Green had procured the acknowledgment: of our consuls sent to the ports of Ile and that hereafter they shall be treated the same as English, or the censuls of other nations. The reason that the various negro governments of that island ia former | years have refused the privileges to our coasuls | sent thither, has been t uld not recognise their negro povernmen any diplomatic agent or c Mr. Clayton, under of colles der to get a foothold for our consuls. We have our doubts; and should not be surprised to hear shortly that a black Duke of yetin I. is at Washington, astonishing the good people by the pure ebony of his complexion, the brillianey of his diplomatic ani- form, and the magnificence of his legation and attashés. This would be fol sul at all the Northern and the p: m ports. We have some important intelligence ia re- gard to all these niatters; but we Wish to give the Cabinet the full glory of all they have done; and if the result of Mr. Green's miseioa is laid before the public at an early day, the Secretary of State may do it in his own way The Southera members who have regarded the We hope pal Sou sion as imaginary, believing it impoesible that so important a m anected with the negro ques- tion could by the Cabinet without ‘their knowir ~ about it, will now find that the Herald wastight, as it always is; and we doubt not that Co: «will eoon call for all the facts connected with this negro mission In an editorial article which appeared in the Herald in the early tof April, we used the fol- low ing in thie city who «ould volen- . nt the adminis. to do #9, at e excuse, bared on Mr desirable they should go and t.

The result was, that the small fection of Crecleyites were put down by an overwheliniog demonstration in favor of the Herald. So much for this miserable attempt to put down this paper in this Congress. The Herald will » n the of the workingmen, as it eve not counteneuce the | community, and f | Ged intended him, based. been sustained. important revelations to make, one of these days, on the whole plan; but, ia the meantime, we are forcibly reminded of the fact that John L. O'Sulli- van, of this city, known as a wiiter for fushionable period is, passed two winters in Caba, and that Moses Y. Beach was there «lso one season. How there visits could have had any connection with the history of these distinguished individuale, for the last few months, we leave an anxious world to | determine; but we cannot help entertaining the conviction, that if the government come to close questioning upon the matter, some very curious facts may be elicited. ‘The wey in which the originators procured the | means for fitting out the expedition, was on the Wall street plan of joint stock companies. Scrip ed, known to the initiated as ‘Cuba scrip,” to the amount of three millions of dollars, | upon which the beautiful estates in Cuba were hy- pothecated in a style of pre-appropriation, that men may call by almost any name their taste may dic- tate as just and proper in the premises. This serip, we believe, bore the sign manual, as follows:— Narcisco Lovez, President of the Provisional Go- verpmeut Moses Y. Bete, as Secretary, or Minister of Fi- bance and Coniiscated Estates, The stock having been duly separated, number- ed and distributed in certificates, was hawked about in Wallstreet and Pennsylvania Avenue, and, probably, in New Orleans, selling at the-exor- bitunt price of ten cents on the dollar, by which the vast revolutionary sum of three hundred thou- sand dollars rolled into the treasury of the provi- sional government, or government of provisions— fer everything was done with a proviso, and with a“ provided if” the island should be taken. Last winter, much of the stock found ite way among the speculators in Washington, and several friends of the cabinet seemed highly delighted to take a few shares at only tea cents oa the dollar. General Lopez, at the sume time, “taking scrip for his journey,” made bis head-quarters at Washington, and there disbursed some of the scrip, and twisted the twine with which to raise his kite—star, stripes, triongle and all emblazoned on it. The knowing ones thought the triaagle showed that matters Were not to be done “ on the square”—that the star was merely “stuck,” like the share- holders, and that the stripes were emblematical of a good drubbing. Yet there were those who were not skilled in hieroglyphics and emblems, and who launched out the dimes for the prospective dollars in Cuban currency. How far Lopez and his scrip influenced the powers at Washington, can only be ascertained by conversation with the spirits attending on the house of Rochester, now in this city; buat we are well sured that the cabinet might have stopped the outfitting of the expedition, on the second, as well at the firet atternpt, had there been an incliaa- tion todo so. ‘There was manifest culpability on form, or receive | “ . ; | tion, after it left New Orleans, is kaown sufficient- in abolition set | 8 not given up the principle in or- | wed by a negro con- | | The arrang the efforts of agertain class of social reformers, of the Greeley and Brisbane school, which we know full well had proved the bane of all past operations of a similar nature for the last few years.

Now, if a forced interpretation had not been | put on the law, in the cu Tre Oreration ov ror Quananrue La few days age, we published a cunous case, tative of the working of the new quarantine law, showing very conclusively the inequality of its ap- ion, and how, in the name and form of law, aad a stark absurdity might be perpetrated together. The case was this-—-The bark Barrington arrived on June 34, ftom Rio, and was put under quarantine for thirty days, in pur- suance of the section of the new health law which provides that ‘ all vessels from any place where pestilential, contagious or infectious disease existed at the time of their departure, arriving be- tween the Sist day ef Muy aad the Ist day of Oc- tober, shall vemain at quarantine for at least thirty days after their arrivel, and at least twenty days after their cargo shall have been discharged, and shall perform such further queraatine as the Mayor and commissioners of he muy prescribe.” The Burington had nota cingle case of sickness during its pascage. Now, the barks Crisis and Kathleen left Kio after the Barriagton, and one had si¢kness on board ; but they arrived before the Ist of June, and therefore were oaly quarantined for five days. It is true, that on an appeal to the Commiseioners of Health, the quarantine of the Bar- rington was removed, and sie was ellowed to come to the city. But on what ground? Beeanse she teek her pilot in before the first of Jone, though she did not enive till the third of June, and “arriving” was interpreted'to mean tehing a pilot! This is about as good as the interpretation put upon the same health act en Wednesday, when the Corporation Attorney gravely laid down the law, ( it was laying it | down with a vengeence,) that the City Inspector hes authority to prostrete buildings which are dangerous to. humen life—an euthority which the framers ofthe health law no more contemplated tent of the United e of the bark Barrington, and if the provisions ofthe biuadering act had been fairly carried out, she would have been detained for thirty days, without « case of sickness onboard, while the other two barks, coming tater, from the movements on the | | tial, t same place, and one with sickness on board, were let off after five days. This act is the revive! of an exploded relic of an- other age, long since abandoned in Europe, as un- necessary and vexatious. It causes only expensive and ruinous delay to merchant vessels, without the slightest a vantage to the public. What is the meaning of the clause ia question ? It says, ‘all vessels from any place where pesti. lential, contagious or infectious disease existed.” Now small pox is a contagious disease; and ought a vessel to be detained thirty daysbecause she may have come from a place where that disease exist- ed, or has acase on board? Inthe five weeks before the Ist of June, that the law was in opera- tion, there were only tive deaths from small pox in New York. Yet vessels were placed nine days ia quarantine, after the last case of small pox on board, and now they are to be detained thirty days. Ifa case of cholera occurs on board of a ship, is that a reason why she should be quarantined for thirty days? What object can be served by such a regulation? During the present year, oaly one case of cholera has occurred here, and that was of @ women that arrived about a fortnight ago in the Yorkshire—she died on Staten Island, and twenty persons died on the pas- sage, Whore symptoms were those of cholera. It is now pretty well settled that cholera is not con- tagious or infectious, and that it travels in some mysterious way through the atmosphere. But whether it is contagious or infectious, or is not, the detention at Quarantine, for thirty days, can have no possible good effect. Yellow fever is, perhaps, the only disease for which there ought to be any quarantine. Yet, even in the case of this, asin other infectious diseases, what is the true course to be adopted? Not unnecessary detention, but thorough purification. What is the practice with regard to the passengers arriving in vessels subject to quarantine ? purified, and their eflects are fumigated with disin- fectants, and if they are found to be free from sick- ness they are discharged, and they and their clothes and effects come to New York, while the vessel und her cargo are detained at Quarantine. This is @ contradiction on the face of it. Why not apply the same rule to the vessels and the cargoes as to the passengers and their clothes? What ne- cessity is there for keeping any vessel a longer time than is sufficient to thoroughly purify her? Look at the loss and extreme hardship of dis- charging a cargo at Quarantine, when perhaps there hes been a solitary case of small pox oa board. These regulations are extremely injurious to the commercial interests of New York, while they do not in the slightest degree preserve the public health, It is hard enough to understand clause firat of Why, their clothes are | | } influences upon the weak and uneducated of this | | | | | groceries and sundries, and seem determined to the second section, but clause second exceeds it in| mystification, and, in the opinion of tolerable Judges, neutralizes its effect, if it has any meaning atall.

Probably there has uot been £0 great a collection of aspirants for fame, in any one literary junta, since the day when Joye j Heth’s remains were opened in this city. By the way, Joyce Heth was almost as remark- } able as these rappings. Our readers may remember | that she came out of Kentucky when about! sixty years of age, and as she travelled North, ten years were added to her age every month, till she attained the age of one hundred and twenty years. | She died, however, oae day; and though another | negiess was ready to go out to Engiand ia her | place, the fect of her death having been announced, the speculation upon the credulity of the public | could not be carried any farther. Accordingly, a | post-mortem examination was mad» of the bona Jide Joyce, even to her bones and sinews, and mir | vellous were the results. She was pronounced to have been fully one hundred and twenty years of | age, although she wes only about sixty! This was | a great triumph for philosophy and for the philoso- | phers of the day, and we doubt net that similar | astonishing results will come out of the present in- vestigations by the same class of philosophers and | savang. Seriously, we think the promulgation of such a clever imposition as is now attempted, is- calculat- ed todo much mischief with weak minds. Very i possibly it may lead to the establishment of a sect that will lead hundreds to the most insane form of fanaticism. It is curious that with the progress of every age towards intelligence, the corrupting power of evperstition is strengthened, by human agency, to overthrow all the good results which sound education and true Chrisitan piety might ac- complish. Probably, under the patronage of the junta who have virtually sanctioned this im- position, thousands will be drawa away from the W.

Men of sound discrimination owe it to themselves and to society, to avert the evil new menifestation of the wickedaess of man—for by no other name can we consent tocallit. It isa piece of imposition that goes beyoud the automa- ton chees player, the crawling spiders, or any of | those exhibitions, the long catalogue of which has | been before the world for centuries.

Our reporter fiading 1 impos- sible, from its length to copy the whole document, and the printing being refused by the worthy Alder- men, has selected a few of the items which he ha® furnished ue, as follows :— Bread, butter, tea, coffee, eake, berries, catsup, chick” ens, eggs, fish, hams, milk, meat, poultry, lard: oysters, soda, cook, lat | waiter, tumblers aud sundries to $11,050!
