~ The SLAVE CAsE.-There has been
some trouble recently in Philadelphia in
relation to fugitive slave taken into Gus
tody by MIR. Wynkoop, the U. S. Marshall.
The court OF Quarter Sessions also claimed
the slave for trial for criminal offence,
but the Marshall refused to deliver him, on
a Habeas Corpus, for which the Marshall
was then arrested by the Sheriff. The Mar
shall afterwards surrendered TO the author
iiy of the court of Quarter Sessions, which,
upon hearing, remanded the slave again to
the Marshall.

suNBURY AND ERIE RAILROAD.

The work on this road between this
place and Williamsport, is steadily progress
sing. The grading between Milton and
Black Hole, about 16 miles, is half done,
some four or five sections above Warrior
Run, culverts and all, being entirely CON-
pleted. The bridge over the Susquehanna,
about two miles below the Muncy dam, is
also progressing. More than one third of
the stone, covering several acres, are al
ready on the ground and dressed, and the
masonry of the piers going up. The sec
tion through Milton is graded, and the one
below, running through the farm OF James
Cameron, Esq, about bali done. The Isl
section above Chilisquaque Creek, and the
three above, are about to be vigorously y pro-
secuted. The section on the farm Of Mr..
Watts, four miles above Northumberland
is about half done, and the remaining sec
tlons down, which are light, are also about
to be commenced. The road, we under
stand, is to be graded Immediately for a
double track. Whether for narrow, or for
six foot guage, will, we presume, depend
upon the success of MIR Fallon's mission
to Europe. Should he not succeed, and
the Philadelphians refuse 10 take the mat
ter into their hands, the project will fall
into the hands of the New York capital
lists, who will, undoubtedly, adopt the wide
guage.
