wd, who urged him to run, and completely protected him from the approach of the officer in charge. In an instant afterwards, the negro, led on by a large crowd, ran rapidly towards West street, pursued by the officer, who failed, after a vigorous chase, in arresting him. The supposition is that he immediately, by the advice of his friends, made tracks for the Jersey shore, where another warrant would be required to capture him. There is said to be no doubt that he will take advantage of the recess, by proceeding to Canada. It is said that Polhemus confessed before the Marshals and his master, who is now in this city, that he was a fugitive, and that he offered to go back to the place from which he had escaped. After Polhemus escaped, a large crowd of negroes, longshoremen and others, gathered on the pier, the former of whom threatened to inflict summary punishment on the Marshals who had charge of the negro.--The neighborhood of the pier, as we go to press, is greatly excited.

Slave rescue in New York. A negro, named John Polhemus, belonging to Mr. Jameson, of Lewisburg, Va., was on Saturday rescued from the United States Marshal, at New York just as he was going on board the Yorktown. The Marshal had no warrant. The New York Express of that afternoon, says: At half past 3 o'clock this afternoon just as the steamer Yorktown was about to depart for Norfolk, a close carriage was driven rapidly up the pier, and when opposite the gang-plank of the vessel, two United States Deputy Marshals left the vehicle, having in custody a fugitive slave. One of the Marshals was about to drag the negro on board, when he grasped, with almost savage tenacity, the rails of the plank, clinging to it despite every effort to disengage his grasp. A large crowd soon gathered round the trio, and the negro, deeming he had friends or sympathy among them begged them to rescue him crying loudly, "Oh, men, save me! Save me! I'm not him — save me!".

essel, two United States Deputy Marshals left the vehicle, having in custody a fugitive slave. One of the Marshals was about to drag the negro on board, when he grasped, with almost savage tenacity, the rails of the plank, clinging to it despite every effort to disengage his grasp. A large crowd soon gathered round the trio, and the negro, deeming he had friends or sympathy among them begged them to rescue him crying loudly, "Oh, men, save me! Save me! I'm not him — save me!". Officer Armstrong, of the steamboat squad, on viewing the crowd, pressed forward and caught hold of the negro, who had then relieved himself from the grasp of the Marshal. The officer quickly asked if the Marshals had the necessary legal documents to convey the fugitive away to Virginia; but the officers in charge of him seemed somewhat puzzled at the question, and after an instant's pause replied that they had not the papers, but would go for them. One of the Marshals then went for the warrants,
