COURT—Judge Kane.— Fugitive Slave Core.—Jacob Detain, a fugitive slave, the property of. a Mr: Edoltn, of %Sumo county, Maryland, had a bearing, at an early hear yesterday morning, bofore Judge Kane. The pri soner-was arrested on Thursday lan, Tim Harris burg, by Deputy Marshals Jenkins end Stewart. lie was plowing in a field at the time, and mode no resistance. Thomas John Chew, of Calvert county, Maryland, testified as follows I know Jacob Dupen ; have known him for four teen years; he was the slaVe, or believed to bo the slave, of Mr. Dupen; I knew hies fourteen years in Maryland l twas not prom:tat when ho was arrested; when I saw him I asked him if he knew me, and lie nodded ; be did not call me by tnee• Officer Stewart testified that Jacob said he knew who his muter was; be first said ho aid, then that ho did not; his master was not present when be was arrested; be said he would have gone back, but he was afraid. , The prisoner was interrogated by Judge Kane as a to the truth of these statements, but declined to answer. The nooessary papers wore then"made out, and the fugitive banded over to tho custody of hie master. A. few minutes, after the ease was heard, Mr: 8011, who had been employed by the friends of the fugitive to represent bins before the court, asked Wit was not an unusual thing to boar eases so early. Judge Kane said there was no spacial time, for such oases, except euoh as would suit the convenience of the parties and the court. In fugitive slave oases there wee often an attempt made to interfere with the esteorttion of the law, and for that reason they should be peremptorily heard, - Mr. Bull said that such attempts had been often made in other eases, but he was not aware that any defendant had not a right to be represented by his counsel. The mutter then dropped. OVER AND relpfINZR---.Tudgee Allison and Lud low,—The jury in the ease of Jews Diamond, on trial for the murder of Edward Muldoon, returned a verdict yesterday , morning of "Not Guilty." It was scarcely possible, constdering the diserepau ales in tha,tastimony for the prosecution, for them to do otherwise, but the prisoner is also greatly indebted for this result to the nide and zealous way in which he wee defended. Not a point that could be of terries to him was passed over or omitted, wed it was generally conceded by the members of the bar that seldom or never was a prisoner better defended. District Attorneys Mann and Loughead for the Commonwealth ; C. Brewster and Daniel Dougherty, Eggs., for the prisoner. ARRIVALS AT THE PRINCIPAL HOTELS, Up to 12 o'clock Last Night.
