A Fugitive Slave Returned — On Sunday evening, about 9 o’clock, the steamship Roanoke arrived at her dock from Richmond,Va., and during the night, as they were discharging her cargo, one of the hands discovered a case carefully done up, in which was a secreted a man. He being nearly suffocated for want of air, broke through the lid, when it was discovered that he was a fugitive slave, and the steamer was immediately sent from her dock and anchored off Sandy Hook, and the negro sent on board of one of the Richmond packets bound there.
