TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Several vossels have arrived at this port from the West Indies during the past twenty days, which have unl- formly been placed im quarantine by the health officer. These veesels are and have been free from sickness, with scarcely an exception, notwithstanding which they are kept below and not allowed to come up and discharge at the Atlantic docks, The merchanta consider such treat. ment unfair, and a large number of them have petitioned the Collector of the port to try to remedy the evil. The objection on the part of the health officer, Dr, N. Swin- Durne, is not that there is rickness on board, but that certain lightermen must be permitted to receive the gooda, thereby depriving the merchants (who are daily paying immense duties to the government) from any control over their property antil a heavy tax in levied on the same by quarantine ofMfcials, We are creditably informed that the Collector de«ires that the merchants shal) have possession of their property after vessels have been declared free from sickness, and shall have per- formed proper qnarantine, and entry and lodged for the same. The damage caused by snch detention wa nnder- stand to have been very heavy the past week. and gene- ral indignation ig manifest in all quarters. In no other port in'the United States are quarantine ma'ters con. ducted as they are in this port, and a continuance of the rame met prove detrimental to the commerce of this city. Already largo shipments of sugar have been sent consumption 23, from the West Indies to Boston and Philadelphia in order to avold the excessive charges of qnarantine offi- ciels and delays at our port, A MERCHANT.
