Two SPACIOUS PARKs.-The Legislature of the
State of New York has recently authorized the
purchase of ground for two magnificent parks in
the city Of New York. One of the spots desig-
mated has been heretofore known as Jones' =
Woods" 1t abounds with fine trees, aud may
be transformed into handsome park in the
course of a year The Evening Post says that all
that is necessary to be done is to thin out the UNI
dergrowth, fell few trees, cut appropriate paths,
open several fountains and put up an elegant iron
railing. This wood, which is nearly square, CO.
vers one hundred and fifty three acres Of ground,
and lies on the East River, between Sixty
and Seventy-sixth streets. IT has bold, rocky
shore on the eastern side, overlooking Blackwell s
Island, and commanding a beautiful view both up
and down the river. more delightful retreat of
Il sultry summers afternoon cannot be imagined,
for it will be quite removed from the dust and
noise of the city, furnish ample and deep shades,
and yet, being on the water, will catch all the
breezes that are blowing. 1t will cost about
100000. ~
The plot of ground proposed to be included
in the second or Central Park embraces the
land between Sixtieth street on the south,
lO6th street on the north, Fifth avenue on the
east, and Eighth avenue on the west. 1t con
tains superficial area of seven hundred and
hfty-nne and three-quarter acres, embracing the
present receiving reservoir of thrty-three acres,
and the grounds Of the State arsenal and also St.
Vincent's Academy, of twenty-four acres; the
proposed new reservoir to cover an area of ninety
eight acres. The surface is exceedingly diver
fed; all the lands within its limits are among the
most uneven and rocky on the island. These are
splendid sites, and are admirably adapted to the
purpose. The elevation of the ground in the
Central Park rises at points to the height Of
one hundred and forty feet above tide-water,
while the valleys at other points forty feet be-
low the grading of the streets The surface is
diversified, and many of the scenes are picturesque
and beautiful.

The Fugitive Stare Case.
PHILADELPHIA, July 26-2 p. MIN the court
of quarter sessions this morning the Judges de-
cided that George Smith, the fugitive slave could
not be surrendered up to his bail, in consequence
of an informality in the application. Smith was
then discharged; whereupon, Marshal Wynko op
rearrested him, when he was placed in carriage,
accompanied by the United States marshal, and
drove off for the Baltimore depot.
The friends of the slave, presenting motley
mixture of whites and blacks, quickly followed in
pursuit, close behind the vehicle, to arrest the
slave bail piece The race, so far as | could
see it, was quite novel one The carriages how
ever, was gradually gaining on its pursuers.
The result is not yet known, but the expecta-
ton is that it will probably end in row in the
vicinity Of the outer depot. The marshal's pur-
pose is to take the captive home to his master in
Maryland.

A NOVEL APPRENTICE CAsE-On Saturday a
writ of habeas corpus sued out in the Court of
Quarter Sessions by the father of lad, about
seventeen years of age, named William Cummns.
The lad, it appeared from the testimony, went in
to the State of Delaware and bound himself an
apprentice. The laws Of that State authorize a
minor over fourteen years of age to bind himself
before an alderman when his father or guardian
resides out of the State. The boy left his master
and came to this city. The master pursued him
and had him taken before an alderman and COM
mitted The father claimed the custody Of the
boy on the ground that he had never parted with
his rights over him. The court awarded him to
his father. e
Subsequently the boy was arrested as a fugitive
from labor, and taken before the United States
Commissioner Heazlitt. The claim of the mas
ter here was grounded upon the statutes of the
State of Delaware and the Fugitive Slave law.
A. V. Parsons, esq.,, appeared for the appren-
tice, and urged the following grounds for his
discharge from custody: LIST. That fugitive APP
prentces are not within the meaning of the act of
Congress of 1850. Cd That the boy is citizen
of Pennsylvania, and as such has no domicl in
Delaware Sd. That the case had already been
decided by Judge Thompson, in the Quarter Ses-
sions. ts
The Commissioner continued the case until
Thursday next for examination.
