THE YELLOW FEVER BRIG.

Mayor Forwood of Chester, on Thurs
day, visited the Philadelphia Board of
Health, to learn the Quarantine regula-
ton in reference to vessels infected with
yellow fever leaving that station. The
printed rules say that an infected vessel
must first receive clean bill Of health
from the Lazaretto physician, who then
recommends to the Health Board that
the vessel be allowed to depart, and
then she is only allowed to 60 when the
Board act favorably OH the recommen-
datiou. There is no spt CITED time as
to how long all infected vessel shall re-
main in Quarantine. The Mayor thinks
now that Chester will not be troubled
with the Shasta.
On the same day the Philadelphia
Health Board received note from the
officials of the brig Shasta, which had
been in quarantine, saying that the
Mayor of Chester would mot allow the
vessel to discharge her cargo of logwood
at that town and asking whether the
Board would permit the landing of the
cargo ON the Government wharf, neal
the quarantine station. The same per-
mission was to be asked of the Custom
House. General Sickel feared that it
might be dangerous to grant this pcrmis-
sion, and, upon his motion, the matter
was referred to DIR. Robinson, the La
zaretto Physician, who will give his
opinion to-day.
