SERIOUS OUTBREAK At STATEN ISLAND.
Fur long time the citizens Of Staten ISL
and, My, have been violently opposed to
having the old quarantine establishment in
their immediate vicinity, and numerous
threats have from time to time been made to
burn il down. The recent spread Of yellow
fever outside Of the quarantine walls has. it
appears, induced them to carry out their
threats. The New York Times, Of Friday,
has the following particulars Of the destruc-
ton Of the establishment BY mob:
1.-The large hospital buildings, the wards
or range Of low buildings used for yellow
fever patients. DR.. 'rhompson's private res

o'clock last night. large party, disguised
and armed. assailed the place on two sides
at the same time one squad forced the gate
and the other scaled the wall on the outside.
The alarm WAS given by ringing the bell,
and by other means, but before any effective
resistance could be offered they had removed
the patients out of the buildings, carrying
them bodily upon their mattresses. and depo-
sitting them upon the ground some one hun
dred yards from the wards. The remaining
mattresses were then piled up and the torch
applied to the whole row simultaneously /;
being Of light material they burned like pile
OF shavings. The incendisrics next proceed

who had been previously removed to place

throughout the night, covered with showers
Of sparks from the burning buildings. The
