AFFAIRS AT QUARANTINE.

AFFAIRS Al QUAhANllNC.
The fieate Susquehanns is stlll lying at the Lower
Qusrantne anchorage, in change OF the ohlcers ana
crew who were left on board as shp-keepers. Inc
vessel yesterday, was thoroughly ceansed and tuui
gated under the direction of the Health Officer, who
has suggested to the Navy Department the propnety
Of tskI off the present sbp-keepers and supplying
their places with fresh men from the Navy Yard NO"
that the vessel has been purified, it is presumed that
new set of tbpkeepers would no; contract the ieVer
ard such proving TO be the case, would be postl'e
proof that the frgate could again be placed on aay
with safety. .
Cart. Sands still remains under arrest. The iesNh
Officer will not permit Sergeant Rowland to remove the
Coptsn from the Ousrantine jurisdiction until sufficient
time has elapsed to make ii certain that he will NOT fs
a victim TO the disease. As soon as the Captains
Qusrsntire probation il concluded, he will be brought
before the proper authorities OF the Cry TO oe dealt
with as the law directs
In making the order to- and the arrest of Capt.
Sands, the Health Officer acted under two pointed
sections of State Statute, one giving him full power TO
act in the premises and the other making it the duty
of the Captain to obey. They read as follows:
The Health shall have power any vessel under
Quarantine when he shall Judge necessary for the
discharge land the the Quarantine ground or some
Every master Of subject Quarantine visitation
by the Health o-r arriving in the port Of New York who
SHE'LL refuse neglect with bis vessel at Quarantine
during the period ss. ed of her anS saa "T

BY virtue OF the authority given to them by aw shall prescribe
crew shall be guilty Of amor be punished BY fac
not exceeding or BY no. '"e"e
The officers of the frigate under Capt. Sands, as
well as the crew, are jubilant on the Quarantine
groundp in the reflection that they have been freed
from the poison Of the vessel, aod many of them do
not hestate TO complain that their transhpment was
postponed unnecessarily for two or three days on &C
count Of the captains deicacy in yielding up the charge
Of the vessel to the State authorities.
On the arrival of the Susquehanna in poit, the fol-
lowing named persons, sick with yellow fever, were
sent to the Marine Hospital.

The ten Policemen who were detailed to aid the
Health Officer In isolatiDg the Of the frgste
the Quarantine Grounds, have been most busily
engaged since tie crew landed. Having been so
long detained on shipboard, the marines, when they
arrived on shore, oveIoyed that it WAS difficult
TO control them. Most of them have eyinced did-
position to eope from Quarantine, and not lew OF
them, being freed from chip discipline, have shown
themselves pugnacous. Five of the MARINES nave
be en- arrested for assault and battery and confined in
TIE Quarantine lookup; and such persons as have
entered the Quarantine premises without permission,
have also been promptly arrested and detained as the
law directs.
VESSELS BUILT FOR RUSSIA.
The maritime skill and reputation of this country are
rot without their Influence upon the potentates of the
Old World. There is now lyiog in hsrbor steam
thipofwar, built for the Russian Government by one
Of our shipbuilders Mr.. Webb, Of 400 tuns bur.
den, which is an admirable specimen of naval archi-
lecture. There is another in the harbor of Boston
# about eco tuns, bull. by Boston builder for the
Fan Government. Three other steamers preceded
them, built since the opening Of the Crmean war, for
Russia. Mr. Webb has .till another and larger ship
than either Of the others yet built under construction
for the came power. Last Of all Turkey has just sent
an sgent here in the person of one of her Admras to
obtain model steam shp.oi-war. The expenditures
Of tie Russian Government for the vessels to which we
have referred, and for machinery and specimens Of
American henders shipped during their construction,
we understand have not been less than two millions Of
dollars sready. This expenditure has been made in
very quiet and unassuming manner by Russian Cap
tain in the Navy, comparatively young man,
of unobtiusive manners and modest depcrtmen., who
has trar sacted bis business apparently, with equal
prompiness and intelligence, and certainly without
parade since bis operations though large, have hardly
been heard Of out Of TIE circle of his duties. The
slip afoGt in hsrbor hos been for several days
open for visitors ard is ready for sea- Her appoint
men:s ore all Of the most finished character, without
