| QUARANTINE AFrAIRs.-The buildings at Segune 8
Psint arc progressing; but it is not at all probable
that they will be needed this year. Capt Waliug

Thus Far, vessels entering this port this season have
been unusually healthy. There is not single case of
yeow6ever at Quarantine, and so far as we have
been able to learn, only case Of that disease has
been received at the Hospital this There are
about 90 of smallpox under DR.. Bssels charge
by no means unusual circumstance at any season
of the year. but he is curing them up fast pos
| sible.
| DR.. Thompson took a well marked case of small
pox the other day from one Of our largest European
steamers and vaccinated all of her passengers as
safeguard against the spread Of the disease. All ves
sells coming from infected pors are seLt to the lower
Quarantine by the Health Officer, and subjected to
fumgation for a week ten days, and then brought
to the old Quarantine, where after dscharging cargo
into lighters they arc allowed to come to the city.
Through these precautions whatever infectious matter
might be lying latent in ships and cargoes is got rid
| of, and the city preserved from imported disease.
In order to carry out the Quarantine laws more ef
fcctuay, DIR. Thompson has caused the following per-
sons among his employees to be sworn 10 as special
policemen by the Metropolitan Police Board: Nike
Williams, Sergeant; James Grips, George Williams,
George ". Decker, Cornelius Cole Jacob Journey,
Ed. Cunningham, David McLyman, Geo. Stodderd,
Francis Fpnerty John Martin, Henry Crossin, Peter
w. Rofl, James Glass, Geo. W. +. Randolph, Leon
ard Jennings, James O.Reurke Alfred Van Cef,
Michael McCabe.
Heretofore it has been a subject Of much complaint
that cWgoes have suffered great dminution while a.
Quarantine. This resulted in gre at measure, from tho
depredaiops Of river pirates aided b. dishonest mates
and seamcn left in charge Of the property. is staed
that $4,000 worth of sugar stolen 10 this
way last Summer by persons against whom tho Health
Officer was powerless. II was, and undoubtedly it, the
duty of the Custom. House authorities to prevent this
wholesale plumber of property upon which duty Lad
not been paid. But they have not msde single arrest
for theft within recollection. On Monday night,
some of DR.. ThOmpson's deputies arrested two sugar
thieves, named Harmon and Haley. just they

the city yesterday afternoon in custody If Officer Nc

committed them both for trial.
Before the passage of the Metropolitan Police 1.-THE
Health Officer had to enforce the laws without being
able to command sufficient legal assistance to enable
him TO do this. Now he use his employees for this
purpose without any special charge to the State. With
his police force he is determined to make Qaarautipe
more thoroughly effective than ever, and, if possible
prev these Wholesale deprcdatons The ,essity
for some such force is daily apparent. Among those
who hang around the Quarantine Enclosure are num-
Der of desperate fellows of the Rave stripe, who do
not hesitate to set all law at defiance. Yesterday two
of these fellows, named Alexander Thompson and
Bully Cotton, got into fgh: near the Quarantine gate
Thompson drew q pistol and aimed at Bully, who ran
into a butchers shop and seized large knife. The
riaDs then closed, gripping each Othe, by the throat
ard had desperate hand-to.hand struggle. Eventu
ally they let 90 of each other and went into the woods
to fight the quarrel out.
A new feature has been introduced at Quarantine.
In order to fully insure citizens from liability to
Infection the stevedOres and others engaged 10 light

Our Quarantine has been very much abused 10y mer'
chants and others who have felt aggieyed by its re-
srictors; but tie following sample Of Norfolk human
ity may tend to reconcile them With their lot. On the
9th Of July the schooner Squire Il Brothers arrived
here in four days from Norfolk, making the following
report;
Cleared from Eew-Ycrk Tor Norfolk twenty day,
since. Soon after leaving case Of smallpox broke
out, aud upon arrival in Norf TX the vessel va
dc tanned in Quarantine twelve dsys: they refused to
allow us 10 land the sick man at the Hospital, nor
would they allow any IL communicate With Us,
permit any of the crew 10 go ashore for provisions
The captain, from some rknown cause left the ves-
sel, and in conseque Of being refused any inter-
course with the shore the mate obliged to return
with the vessel TO New-York."
Here the first step is TO serd the sick 10 the Hos pta
ard supply the sailors and passengers With every
ceessry.
