HER INTENDED PORT OF DESTINATION. Her owners ana officers during the late bue and ery about filibustering expeditions were extremely but within @ week or two have announced , Ja, 18 the port they desire to take the vessel to din proof of this point exuitingly to a cargo of 2,000 barrels of four taken on board the lat- @er part of last week. Say they:—“This is a legiti- mate vo} and we are Englismen, We purchased ‘this vessel in good faith and want to leave for a British port.” That's the tenor of their “wrongs,” very tragically given. WHAT THE COLLECTOR OF THE PORT HAS DONE. When the above representations were made to Col- lector Grinnell or his officers by the assumed owners of the Quaker City, be Jistened with attention and said he would give it attention. Meanwhile, believ- tng thatall was not legitimate in the matter, and Yearing that where there had been so much smoke a Iitue fire might possibly be kindled, he sought the ser- vices of a well Known gentleman in this city, a ship- builder of reputation, both in mercantile vessels ana sips of war—none the less tban Wiil'am H. Webb— and requested that he would visit the Quaker City officially and report his deductions whether or not she was intended for a voyage as stated by her offi- cers or that of some other purpose. This was done, and he reported to the Collector a few days since that he was Grmly of the opinion that her alterations — repairs had been made with the view Of using r AS A PRIVATEER. This he was fully convinced of by his obsrvations, icularly as she had a heavy platform buiit aft tbat could not Fmami be used for any other object than asacundeck. He gave other reasons to Col- lector Grinnell which have not transpired. Since then the owners and officers, although stren- uous exertions have been made by them, have been unavle to procure their clearance papers for Kings, despite they have offered the Coilector bonds of 41 most fabulous amount that her voyage 1s of legitimate design, intended as represented, At this pout tae matter rests at the Custom House. HER CKEWS—STRANGE PROCEEDINGS. ‘The officers of the Quaker City have experienced con- siderabie trouble in the matter of the steamer’s crew, or crews, rather; first, in their shipment, or signing articles, and secondly, in retaining them. Tae mem- bers of the original crew, the firat procured, left the Vessel in a body last Thursday, vowing that they Would not remain on board a vessel that intended to sail on an ihegitimate mission. Some of the petty officers were also thus affected, 1t having tran- Spired that the second mate's retirement was for this reason. So soon as this demonstration was made by the Sailors orders Were instantly given to a certain ship- ing agent in the Fourth Ward for another crew. 113 order calied for seventy-four men. Now, when it is understood that a crew of forty men would be a very large number, including coal passers, firemen, servants and boys, for a steamer of this size and de- scription, does not this fact look significant? Eighteen gatlors before the mast would be more than could possibly be required; but here they desire over forty. Again, they have agreed to pay these men forty-five dollars per month—five dollars more than the run- ming wages. These men are bow on board the Quaker City. in confidential conversations since they jotned her they have stated that the ship expected to procure @ clearance tor Kingston, 80 as to enable her to sail on Saturday, and that if they could not obtain it they would gail at all hazards ou Monday. Saturday aiternoon the vessel was under steam, her wheels “turned over,” aud other little preliminary move- ments of the machinery made, noticeable about a large steamer preparatory to a sea wonek* if the officers expected the clearance alluded to they miserably jailed, and abandoned the intention of sailing then, as also legally did they yesterday. It 48 well toey did. Again, certain of the crew have recently asserted that the vessel is intended to sail upon an illegal Mission, as it has been decided upon, should they ever get of, to meet a SCHOONER OUTSIDE OP SANDY NOOK, from which they will receive an armament and more men, and thatthe four cargo is all bos, only im- tended to deceive the arthorities, OTHER STORIES. What etatements are made above can in every essential particular be relied upon. They are col- lated from sources that cannot be gainsaid. They are given Without exaggeraiion with a view of showing tie status of the Quaker City and ot her officers and owners at the present period. Other stories are giso fa circulation among a favored few of the later operation of the same parties that purchased the Quaker City. They are to the effect that within o few days past negotiations were commenced to purchase the Gteamer Georgia, now in this port—an old blockade Tuuner, captured by the United States steamer Ni- agara, but lying idle for s long time—with the view Of altering her in a similar wmapner as their present Piatt.

Meeting Last Night at the Atheneum. The first mass meeting under the auspices of the Brooklyn Free Trade League took place last night at the Athenwum, The attendance was not as large as the many posters, large and small, that have for days disputed with show bills the possession of the fences and curbstones would reasonably have led one to suppose. The audience, however, was for the most part made up of thoughtful and weighty men, whose influence, if enlisted in the cause, will make itself felt. The President of the League, Rey. Dr. Joshua Leavitt, presided. The President, in opening the meeting, said that it was the first presentation of the Brooklyn Free Trade League. The meetinga few weeks ago was hela under the auspices of the American Free Trade League. It was thought that the third city of the Union should have a free trade organization of its own, not only for its own advantage, but also for influencing public opinion throughout the country in favor of the emancipation of commeyce from un- Just restrictions. It was proper that he should cor- rect a very common misapprehension in regard to the principles and aims of the free trade league now spreading through the country. It had been diligently inculcated by the opponents of free trade that free trade leagues are opposed in DSc ag to custom house taxation for the snpport of the gov- ernment. They say that free traders are aiming to abolish custom houses and thus destroy one of the principal resources of the government for the means of meeting its expenses and paring its debts. It was urged that the abolishment of the custom houses would tnevitably lead to the repudiation of the national debt. The bs oma entirely denied this charge. The freedom of trade was the proper complement of the freeaom of lavor. Freedom of exchanging the products of labor was an essential appendage of the right of a man to direct his own labor. It was the exchange of its products that measufed the value of his labor, and to deprive him of the freedom of exchange was so far to curtaf! and restrict the free- dom of labor itself, It was never argued by sane men that freedom of labor an freedom from taxation upon the uctg Of Jahor, Neither did {realom of trea Prey exemption the pro: ducts of trade from taxation for the sup- port of the government, The Américan Free frade League had, from the inning, recog- zed the right to tax the products of trade a8 resting upon the same fonndatiog as the right to tax the proceeds of jabor. The freedom of the one, like the freedom of the other, rested upon the inal- jenable rights of mag given him by his Creator, and an sey tha ae upon the one was a wrong of prect#el¥ the same character as an encroach- uu.

A man who claimed the privileges of citizenship was of course Hable to be taxed for the necessary sup- port of the government.

The speaker thought the government showld impose taxes as taxes and for the sole purpose of raising revenue for Ita necessary expenses. (Applause ) He thonght a revenue tariff should be a low tariff. A reduction of cost, it was argued, increased con- sumption, The principle was illustrated by the re- duction of the rates of postage in Great Britain from an ave e of eight pence to the uuiform rate of a penny. This reduction caused an merease in the umber of letters upon which postage was patd from 49,000,000 to 760,000,000 per year. ‘The reduction of cost seven-cightis increased the consumption ten fold.

This fact the speaker accounted for on these grounds:—The climate cf these table lands in Asia aud in North and Sovsh America were remarkable for dryness.

Statement from the Cuban Junta of New York—Wby Ceapedes’ Proclamation ef Re- prisals V/as Issued—Interesting Facts and Extracts, ‘The f@llowing explains itself:— Booms or THE CuBAN REPUBLICAN quel) New Yor«, May 24, 1809. Amnong the telegraphic news published on Satur- Gay, the 22d inst., there is a despatch from Havana containing extracts from a decree issued by General Cespedes on the 18th of February, and in which sev- eral rigid resolutions are proclaimed by the Cuban leader. The Spanish authorities, by publishing those extracts now, evidently desire to counteract the feehng of horror occasioned py Valmaseda’s in- famous proclamation of the 4th of April, the latter being made to appear as @ necessary and excusable consequence of the former. With that object the Gespatch only mentions the orders contained in Cespedes’ edict, and artfully avoids making any allusions to the circumstances which gave rise to them and which are expressed in the proclamation. The Junta therefore consider it their duty to make a truthful statement of the matter, thereby unmasking the artitice employed by the Spanish government with the object of disguis- ing its niquitous conduct at the cost of Cuban repu- tation and honor. General Cespedes’ deeree.of the sth of February is now brought to life by the authorities at Havana, who perversely inform us that it was issued five weeks before that of Valmasada; but the former proclamation, far from having given occasion to the promuigavon of the latter, was precisely the sad and mevitable consequence of the system of war to the knife de- clared against Cuban patriots by the Spanish con mander, The following is acompiete text of Ces- pede’s declaration:— Since the first acts of the Cuban revolution, since the tak- ing of Bayamo and Tiguani in this department, and Gual- maro in the central department, when a, generous, capitula. tion was offered to the garrisons, on which we couid forced an unconditional surrender, as is well k principles of humanity, civilization and genero’ displayed on the part of the Cubans, sho manner in which we were willing ‘to carry on war with our oppressors. More than four hundred pris- oners, whom these successes and following ones placed in our power without any risk of life, have continued to reveal our purpose, while the enemy violates ina base manuer at Puerto Principe the capitulation of Guaimaro, arming anew againat us the civil guard, who had been sworn by the terms of the named capitulation never to take up arms against the Cubana, And they not only dented quarter to the few prisoners they succeeded in taking, but with blood thirstiness and ferocity worthy of thelr antecedonts in where they lost their power by aimilar brutal they shot, without judgment, peaceable citizens for suspicion of connivance with the revolutio ps. They did more. While our troops not only respected the mortal re- mains of the enemy's soldiers and Burled those who were in- humanly abandoned by their companions, and took care of their wounded, our dead were barbarously abused by the Spanish soldiery, their bodies mutilated and otherwise aud- jected to the most horrible atrocities. The liberating army has not made reprisals, We wish to avail ourselves of every means in our power to make the euemy adopt more humane practices and a less ferocious system of warfare. With that object I had address first days of the revolution,’ despatch in that s Spanish Governor at Manzanillo, ‘That despatch obtained no answer, and the shooting of Cubana found in arms and the desecration of our dead were continued by the Spaniards. Decided, uevertheless, to await the Inst extremity before giving to the horrors of re- prisals,” T gent by flag of truce a despatch ‘on the 20th of December last to the Commander General of Cuba, in which I entreated that the Spanish government should accept the kind of warfare which we had instituted ‘and were observing. In other words, to stipulate quarter for mers and wounded, aa all civilized belligerents do, even not united by ties of similarity in origin, religion and guage, and naming a period of fifteen days for its answer, laring that after that time, if I unhappily received no isfactory answer saying that they would cease to shoot and commit the before named cruelties, I would adopt at last the mournful, but absolute, necessity of reprisal. ‘The commanding general, Brigadier Garcia Munoz, after having maltreated by words and miserably insulted the en- voy, by bearing with his own hands the Insignia and devices of the defenders of the country, said in answer that he could not condescend to take my despatch into consideration. Not- withstanding, true to my word, I resolved to take uo steps whatever until the period should have elapsed. But to-day the permit being at an end, and the conduct of the enemy be- ing unchanged--but on the contrary, aggravated by new acts of cruelty and barbarity—I have been obliged to aceept the war to the knife with all the determination with which I have repelied it, ‘Therefore I decree reprisal against the enemy in its most ample terms from to-day, without restriction of any kind, Blood for blood, execution for execution, extermination ior extermination. CARLOS MANUEL'DE CESPEDES. JANUARY, 1969. The decree issued on the 18th of Febraary was the sequel and practical expression of the above declaration, and as a proof of thie statement we give the heading which accompanied the proclame- tion, and which was very carefully suppreased by the Spanish censor:— War to the knife being declared tn the Island of Cuba by the Spanish authorities in several edicts, executed in deed by their troops operating in this territory, and reprisals being admitted asa rule of their wartare, 1, Captain General Ces- des, am obliged to dictate the necessary course to be fol- lowed on our part to avoid confusion and to aitain uniformity of action in the army under my command. ereas all who are Waging War againsi us are not aim!- larly circumstances if * Whereas, according to the laws of humanity and the ele- mentary principles of sound policy, @ distinction should be established among our enemies, aud Whereas, it is in accordance with the spirit and nature of the present war of independence, I decree {Here foliow the resolutions, of which an extract has oeen already puviisbed in the cable despatch to which we refer.) With the above explanations the trickery of the Spanish government will be made manifest, ag they clearly prove not only that Valmaseda’s p! ama- tion of the 4th of April had no connection whatever with Cespedes’ decree of the 18th of February; but also that the latter was adopted in consequence of similar proclamations issued by the Spaniards and the acts of cruelty and barbarity perpetrated by their soldtery. Nevertheless, let Cespedes’ proelama- tion be compared with that of Valmaseda’s, and tt Wili be seen at once that the same judgment is not applicable to both, even if considered in the abstract. Cespedes establishes a diflerence between his enc- mies—grants pardou to the Spanish soldier and pau- ishes neutral Cubans, according to circumstances, Valmaseda orders that young men over fifteen years of age shall be shot for the simple crime of being away from thelr homes without a plausible excuse; that all dwellings uninhabited or unprotected with a white flag shall be reduced to ashes; and, finally, that all women who are not found in their respective houses or in those of their relations shail be taken by force to Jignani or Bay- amo. The Cuban leader, in obedience to the princi- piles of civilization, when driven to retaliate in con- Sequence of the atrocious acts of lis enemy, endeavors not to be absolute in his severity; the Spanish Chief- taln vents his fary not only upon those who resiats him with arms, but also upon peaceable inhabitants, children, women and even farm houses. Let truth, therefore, come to our aid, and place facts in their right place. Valmaseda’s proclama- tion admits of no excuse, ahd will stand forever as @ testimony of Spanisb ignorance in the tsiand of Cuva, F. J. BASORA, Secretary. € MURDER iN THE ELEVENTH WARD.

About two o'clock yesterday afternoon an im- mense conflagration took piace in the factory of Wickes & Co,, situate on the Hudson river, on the confines of Hudson county, N. J.

Forty laborers were engaged in the factory at the outbreak of the flames, and it is miraculous that all of them were not blown to pieces, Owing to the subterranean position of the two work- ing tanks and the ready escape for gas on all sidas, the shock was not so terrific as it might otherwise have been, and twenty-five of the work- men escaped uninjured, while about sixteen of them received severe burns from the sudden splash of the flaming liquid, and were also terribly bruised by huge blocks of timber which fell upon them. For- tunately, however, no person was fatally wounded, as far as has been ascerisined. Scarcely had the panic§stricken employés fled from the grounds when the flames burst from the settling room through the brick wall bounding the treating house, and in an instant vast volumes of the blazing oil were hurled toa height of 300 feet eclipsing the light of day, and spread their fright ravages through the Lge on which they fell. ‘The waters of the river near the shore now seemed to threaten destruction to the vessels and dock, as the fluid blazed on the surface. Every sloop and boat, however, were soon removed out of danger. Meanwhile the fire was increasing in fury, and in a short time the treating house, set- tling room and boiler house were burned to the und. One end of the dock caught ire, but the vigorous efforts of the uninjured workmen were success{ul in saving a great quantity of the oil thereon, although the heat was almost intolerabie, and dense clouds of black smoke ren- dered it well nigh impossible to approach the scene. Many barrels were also rolled away from the storage Shed, as the ruin of that structure likewise was 1n- nding, but exertions to save it were in vain, and it too Was soon enveloped in flames, The massive piles of wood which continually tumbled to ruins, the crackling of the wails and ma- chinery, and the frequent explosion of barrels, re- sembled, at a distance, the discharge of batteries of artillery, and made the prospect from sur- —o. districts at once grand and ter- rible. rom all the ferryboats the passen- gers eagerly viewed the livid flames which peered hrough the pitchy volumes of smoke, which was still more increased by the ignition of the tar owned by Kidder & Co., whose building was adjacent, and this continued to burn throughout the evening and greater part of the night. At half-past six o'clock in the evening the entire structure of Wickes & Co. was consumed, with the exception of the coopers’ workshop, the ae apartments aud the greater portions of the id storage shed. But that the wind was blowing towards the southeast, the chemical works of Mor- gan & CO., located close to the dock, would have also been set on fire, and the d: e to neighboring houses would be incalculable. W) the devouring element was creeping along and licking up every- thing in its train, the fire company from West New York were working with as much vigor as though they would heap Pelion Lie Ossa, but with as little success as the same number of monkeys squirting through syringes. In fact, their puns efforts were so m by the majestic fire king that reared above the littie of earth and laughed to scorn the power of man that the energetic members were at length induced to desist. Another company from Guttenberg came up, but refused to co-operate with the West New York wen, owlug to some leud among the different companies, They contented themselves with stretching their limbs upon the while one of their number led 1) rasping away at @ leaky conce! and his efforts were Spplauded merely for his earnestness, The loss to the Messrs. Wickes falls little short of $76,000, The amount of the insurance was not exaotly ascertained, but one of the firm stated ttrat it is not at all equal to the damage. Forty men, who were employed in this establishment, are thrown outof work. Upwards of 500 barrels per day were manufactured tor the firm here. Page, Kidder & Co., the proprietors of the patent roof factory, sustain a loss of $35,000, fully insured, while the ‘damage in- flicted on the other property surrounding the dock is estimated at $15,000, making @ total loss of $125,000, The fire originated in the pan room, where an explosion occurred. The workmen who were burned were taken off for medical treatment. Noue of the sujuries are of a fatal character. INCORPORATED MURDER, Last night Edward Fisher, of No. 38 Laurens street, while attempting to get on a Bsoadway car (No. 87) fell under the car, which passed over him, He was sent to Bellevue Hospital in a dying condi- tion, and died soon after.
