Quarantine matters are comparatively quiet.
The officers OF Quarantine say there develop
mens and that the papers have given up to later
date than they cognizant Of They will con
slider the question issue their meeting this after
noon and it is very probable that the Health officer
the port will be present.
At the of action-Prentces store, Pier No 3,
Brookyn-everythng quiet and the vessel is discharg
ing cargo though she had recently made
famous by the fight of saturday She has two anchors
fastened to the dock and two to the bark lying next
her and which was involved in the affair. The mate
quantity remarks: It's the first time he has had to
anchor his vessel to the docks at least to hold the vessel
fast to keep her from being taken away"
The Rough Diamond, upon whose deck the principal
part Of the engagement fought is schooner OF
tuns burden. Capt Patterson, from Maanzas having
cargo sugar consigned Peter ]. Nevins & Son OF
this city, she left Maanzas for NewYOrk City the
pleasant weather throughout the trip and came to an
Choir at the lower Quarantine the 18th inst. AT II
vessels to be fumigated, which done. The next
morning Capt Patterson came up TO this city, and the
morning following he went back again the captains
boat The captain wished to go to the city. The Doctor
said to the captain, Here will give you permit.
You To town yOu will take my boat and pay the
cost; but if not, you can lay here week" Then he
tOwed them to the Atlantic Dock and they supposed
that they could discharge their cargo The Quar-
anime officer sent the captain over to Prentccs stores
To get permit from the Brooklyn Health Officer. He
got IT, and consequently the vessel lowed up to the
dock where she now lies, by DR.. COchTan's orders.
On saturday last the same boat from the lower Quar-
antine was ordered to tow the Rough Diamond back

formed sufficiently early arrived just I'm time to stop the
vessel from being captured by the enemy. Policemen

men OF the sea- gave their aid, ready to assist

were used except to cut the ropes holding her There
were three different attempts to seize the vessel The
first time the hawser or the steamboat was cut of
the bows Of the vessel, the Diamond moored again
TO the dock and made fast with chains anchors hawsers
etc. and was not allowed TO from the dock She was
guarded by policemen who ordered 20 keep every
body at respectful distance. Meanwhile the Doctor
was not ide for no did he make everything sure
at one vessel than he went rapidly his spirited span
would take him to the other vessels apparently fearing
that during his absence the Quarantine officers would
steal a march upon him.
