The captain of the bark [sic] Fanny, from Belfast having been called before the Board of Health on Saturday, for refusing to return to the Quarantine station, persisted in saying that they would not take the ship down. The steamer John Bull was sent down by the Board, to the vessel, off the mouth of the Little River, about one o'clock, with Mr. Tessier, the Health officer, on board, and received orders to tow her to the Quarantine ground ; but the captain again refused to weigh anchor, notwithstanding the intreaties and threats of the Health officer. The steamboat returned to town, not having means of enforcing the order, about 4 o'clock.
The steamer John Molson sent down Saturday evening with some extra seamen, and succeeded, after some resistance, in towing down the Fanny to the Quarantine ground, where she was placed in range of the guns. The captain has been taken into custody by the Marshal of the Admiralty, on a charge of shooting at his second mate on the passage out.
The resistance of the captain of the Fanny to the orders of the Board of Health, is perhaps entitled to some consideration, on the score of his having received a certificate of health at Grosse Isle, and his probably thinking himself, in consequence, entitled to pass up to Quebec, and to perform there what other necessary detention might be thought necessary. At the same time, it is absolutely necessary the the Board should be empowered, as it in fact is, by having the whole force of the country at its command, to execute its orders. If one person can successfully resist its rightful authority, there is an end to its existence ; it will be contemned, and the lives and property of the inhabitants endangered.

The Board of Health have resolved to make all vessels having more than fifteen passengers, perform a quarantine more or less long, at Grosse Isle.
