among other things made the following

The FtGIryE SLAVE CAsE.-We
mentioned last eek the arrest Of fugi-
tive slave in Philadelphia belonging to
Mr. J. c. Howard ofthis town. This case
caused much excitement in that CITY.
On Saturday last the U. 5. Commissions
pr, Mr.. lngraham, ordered the fugitive,
whose name is Bin Fisher, INTO the GUS
tcdv of his master. Mr.. Howard fear
ing a rescue, placed him IN the hands
Of Col. Wynkoop, the I. 5. Marshal
Fisher, it appears, was out Of Jail On
bail, when arrested. The Court of
Quarter Sessions by writ of habeas
corpus, ordered Wyrkoop to produce
his body, that the bail might be releas-
ed. Col W. took the ground that the
decision OF lngraham as L. S. Judge
could not be reversed by state tribunal,
and refused to deliver Fisher; where
upon he was arrested for contempt of
court and imprisoned, The habeas
corpus question was argued on Tuesday,
when the court decided that no bail
piece having been taken out there was
no claim on the prisoner. Thus the
writ was dismissed, the Marshal releas-
ed, and the fugitive left in bis custody
Tor removal to Maryland, under order of
TIE L. 5. Commissioner. Immediately
thereupon a haIl-piece was got out by
the aboltjonists, who hastily proceeded
TO lhe Baltimore Gepot, but ldlled to
find the fugitive; and following on to
iInington met with like success. In
the meantime the Marshall had taken
Fisher in a carriage none knew With
er. 1t appears he took the railroad at
Pa eli and landed him in Baltimore on
ednesday night. On Thursday the
Marshal was in Elkton.
An attempt was made during the
trial to get Bill to swear he was free
and could produce witnesses to prove it,
hut he Stout " asserted that he belonged
to Howard and would not swear a
false oath; neverthelesshe was pressed to
do so with pertInacity, by certain OF
those who wished to rescue him, but
resisted their pc rsuasions to the last.
Mr.. Howard was so pleased with this
that he wished not to sell him but to
