Burning of Quarantine— Incendiarism. 



Sikcb the removal of the New York Quarantine 

 to Staten Island, a spirit of insubordination has 

 been exhibited on several occasions by the inhabi- 

 tants, and the recent arrivals of vessels infeoted 

 with yellow lever served to bring the whole affair 

 to a culminating point. On the 1st inst a meeting 

 of the citizens of Castletonwaa hold and the burn- 

 ing of the Quarantine buildings was decided npon. 

 The Board of Health of Castleton also posted a 

 handbill, signed by their Chairman and Secretary, 

 Id which the Quarantine was denounced as a nui- 

 sance too Intolerable to be borne, and recommend- 

 ing the citizens to protect themselves by abating 

 ft without delay. The plan was to burn all the 

 bandings, and placing the sick in a barge to tow 

 them to the city, and have tbem anchored off the 

 Battery. In accordance with this recommendation 

 the station waa attacked In the evening by a mob 

 of 1,000 men, and several of the buildings fired.— 

 Tha Urge hospital buildings for yellow fever pa- 

 tlenta and Dr. Thompson's private residence were 

 entirly destroyed. Several other small buildings 

 were also burnt. Dr. Thompson rallied a force of 

 00 men and endeavored to protect hla dwelling, 

 bat they were all driven out One man of the 

 doctor'* party was shot through the head and has 

 since died. Before tiring the fever hospital, they 

 removed the patients on their beds to a distance, 

 l»ying them on the ground. 



On the 2d inst, the excitement increased con- 

 tinually during the day, and the sick in the remain- 

 tng Wildings were removed and sent np to New 

 i ork and Brooklyn. Many of the infected patients 



ire sc»tt*«d through those two cities. One small
