QUARANTINE AFFAIRS.

The excitement stirred up, outside OF Quarantine, in
relation to yellow fever, supposed to be in existence
tteIe has rot sbated though the fact hse been made
known that the epidemic has not prevailed in the small
towrs around the incosure 20 any alarming extent
whatever. No cases positively known by the
pecp,e 10 have occurred but those Of Miss Cross snd
tie servant gin ard these occurred only through the
negligence Of the sufferers.
by tie best authority it is calculated that since the
letter Of Dr. Andersen announcing that one case Of
fever ooours dolly the stand n'e nuuuieu residents

There were quite full week ego now hardly cor
pora.s gusrd is left. Ths: great a1d unnecessary
alam prevails is evident to any one who may take the

from DIR. Ardersons letter. The understanding is,

at tie present time; that there has been none but
those Of the two females before spoken Of and that
70 dar ger at all is to be spprehended. The sooner
this statement well subsantiated, is msde pubic, the
1t was observable that on Sunday, the Sta.en leland
boats carlied but comparatively few passeDsers The
dsy was fine lust such day, indeed is required
to get great attendance at the various places OF
amusement and resort, but they nearly all de-
serted. The New Workers who visit Staten Island,
are sppaently as much frightened the residents Of
| that place.
