It will be seen from the report of the particulars of the visit, as given elsewbere, that the Emigration Com- missioners found that nothing like the stcommo- dations needed have been provided. The present visit of inspectors has developed, indeed, most clear)y and indisputably the fact that the Quarantine Commissioners have acted without any knowledge or practical realiza‘ion of their dutiea.

The Spanish fleet has arrived at Havana Never since the time of the good Queen Beas and tbe “Invincible Armada” bas a Spanish fleet been so widely commented upon aa this one, The Spanish which is said to be intended to operate against | | Mexico. Cireumstences combine to make this | Spanieb-Mexican question a prominent one, The world elsewhere is at peace. Even the war in China seems for the preeent to be settling down into the emall matter of whipping the Cantonese aud carrying on a large trade with the Shavg- bacm This dispute between Spain and her daughter is the only war question now before the it. It i evident that should the two actually come to blows, the flilusters will take a hand in bebalf of Mexico ard against Spain, and the ro | eult moy peseibly involve our goverament in an active interference that will epeedity aettte the whole question. This fact is well keown to the European politicians, aud ali of them ere de- sruus way. But the Spanieh fleet that has lately arrived at Tlavans railing ¥ troops Is, conveying some two thoasaad ite aggregate. This ia evidently too small s force to attack Mexico with ; aad it is even questionable whether Spain will proceed so | At Pernambuco freights had sivanced, | far even a blockade of the Mexican porte, in | Tree or Faony Kemble tn their youthful days, | view of the ulterior movements that might grow out of it. There is strong reason to suppose that thie wer queetion is being ridden by the politi- cian rT other reasons than are conveyed in the bigh rounding phrases with which it is discussed Gen. Narvaez has possession of power in Spain by an inecure wnure, end it behooves him to agitate the war question im order to disconcert | his opponenta. Gen. Comonfort's goveroment in Mexico is equally unstanle with that of Narvaez in Spain, and the war cry is a good one with which to go into the coming clectioo. Santa Anna finds thie occasion also a good one to come forward, and so be urges a bioody revolution under the banner of Spain, Palmerston and the Pope. Gen. Concha, with toe shrewdness that has marked his cereer in Caba, knows that op- position te a war feeling ie always an unpopular ; and knowing that be is soon to retura home, away from the troable, gives an apparent hearty support to it It ie not probable, however, that any of these politicians, except Santa Anna, are sincere in Spain bas really made uo one while the latter country has no real elemente with which to oppose a strong invacion by Spanich troops siding with Santa Anna and the church party in thet republic. The only gainer in the event of a rupture would be Santa Anna, and be has never been remarkable for keeping his engagements with those who helped him to return to power.

It eeeme that come few years ago Miss Logan played once or twice in this city; but, from some cwuse or other, ebe received very little attention at that time, Since then she has been playing more in the Western States, and in New Kogland;. and although she attained a- provincial reputation vs being 4 very fine actress, sbe. bas never had suoa an opportu- nity of ‘comizg completely and faily before “thé | World a che ts bad duriag hee present engage- ment.at Weilaok’s theatre. : Previously to making her appearance before a New York audience, Miss Logan, with a great deal of good common senee, eat down and wrote to us a very natural letter, statiog her positioa and her ideas as to hor appearance here. There was nothing of a private or confidential character in this note. It wes merely the letter of an artiste enjoying a gocd deal of repatation, com- municating her position and ber purp2ses toa leeding journal; axd it was p/obably the readiest } and simplest method of bringing herself before the public, and of attaining her object.

As « sample of the ridiculous ravings of smal! couutry newspapers in connection with this subject, we insert in another colamn extracts from two Cincinnati journals, whose editors, laughably cxcug, profess to cousider Miss Logan one of the greatest actresses of the age, and oue or the purest spirits that ever adorned the stage, and yet abuse us most inconsiderately for exdea- voring to place her in that light betore the new community whose approbation she was seeking These editors indulge in the silliest and withal the most brutal remarks in reference to us, showing themeelycs to be mere vulgar blackguards, who are too etupid to discriminate between a good act and a bad ou¢. Journalism in Cincincati must be in the hands of very low, igmvrant, vulgar fellows when it cannot see and will not ackoowledge that all that has been done by the press ia this city in reference to Mise Logan, bas been dictat- ea by the most kindly, liberal and generous sen- timenta. We except, of course, a few weakly papers, of no sort of consequence as regards their opinions, either for or against any artist. Before her appearance in this city we bad never beard of Mise Logao, however popular she may have been ia seme of the villages of the West. Since then, bowever, we bare made some ingviries, and find that she has been and is a rey meritorious at tiet—that ehe hae exh bited a groat deal of talent for the stage, and that her private relations have been extremely creditable to her.
