The Fugitive slave from New York. --On Thursday last, as has been stated, a fugitive slave, from New York, was brought to Richmond, to be sent to his master, at Louisville, Ky. It appears that he was hired as steward on an Ohio steamer, and escaped to Canada; but returning to New York, was employed as porter in a store there. On Monday night he was arrested at the suit of his master's agent, and his employer, a Mr. Vall, immediately got out a writ of habeas corpus for the release of "John Thomas," that being his name. Marshal Rynders responded to it by producing in court the body of a John Thomas, colored man. This J. T., however, was another person, who had been in jail as a witness in a murder case since March last. The Judge decided that the writ was satisfied. In the meantime, the Marshal had placed the negro in a back and gotten him safely on board a Richmond steamer.
