Military against civil law in New York. --Major-General Hooker made a return, yesterday, to the writ of habeas corpus issued in relation to Robert Martin, one of the alleged city incendiaries, at present confined in Fort Lafayette. The return refuses to produce Martin on the ground that he is a military prisoner and outside the power of the civil law. Judge Leonard, before whom the case was argued, decided that the body of Martin should be produced in court at 11 o'clock on Wednesday next, or he would be compelled to issue an attachment against General Hooker for contempt of court.--New York Herald.
