ALARMING Rinx x--sNarSigRd Rgaa~rs Slares.-We learn from an extra of the Cas- lisle Pa Herald, of ste 18th inst, thai that town was thrown into great eommosiOn aud excitement. on "Wednesday siternooa. by an attempt on the part of the eoisred population ,o rescue several slaves who had been ares ted as fug;iives. The slaves tone Rsan. a woman and q little giri) were arrested n the morning, and in the afternoon taken before Judge Hepburn on writ of hsbeas corpus, which resulted in their being fully idenn6etl as the property of Col. Hoilingsworth and Mr. Kennedy, Of uagerstown, Md. They were therefore remanded 10 the custody oi their owners.
 During tle hearing large crowd of inla- riaied colored men and women gathered m and aboni the Cour;-hsass, she eysaeed. hv their violent conduct, disposition to rescue the ingiiives by force. An attempt was made first m the Coars-fsssss. but quickly frlsira- ted hv she consiables.
 A second attempt was made as the slaves were brought down from the Couri-roo1n 60 the carriage. which resulted in serious riot The attack was made al the door of the car- riage, where. before the slaves were got into the vehicle. genersl was made sa the slaseowneis and eonsiahles by the negro men and women, and a frigh'fal melee en- saed Ia the street. in which. for ssgne mi Bules, paving stones were hurled n showers. and clubs and canes used wish tesrtkle energy. The result vas, that the vonsan and gisi es- caped, while the man vas secnFed and taken back ,o Maryland. wia regret io say ;ssz; Mir Kennedy. one of the owners, was xers severely hnri. having heea fslled to the earth under succession cf blows from sioaes and eiubs. which completely disabled him. 4 boy in ihe street, by ilse name of Black. was also severely wonusled tn ihe head by . stone, that his life is endangered. The resHsinaer of the party received no serious injury The sheriff and eoassahies have arrested seose or mere of negroes. who were lsepslfied as leaders in the not. who are aow confined tn lail to await their tssAl. The Herald says, our citizens generally made 10 interference The evidence, shs. the slaves were fagiiises. was clear, and ibe mass of our eiaizens- therefore, regarded them as the rightful pro per,v of their owners.
