Alexander Mcleod arrived in the steam h31ff n ffes custody of T. Stone, Sheriff of Mia gara County. Mir J L. Wood, District Attorney for the county of Niagara, ac- companied the party, and they are all at Towards Hotel Willis Hall, the Attor-. ney General, and Messrs. Spencer and Bradley, McLeod's Counsel, are also in town. Mcleod comes here by habeas corpus. His Counsel are to apply to the Supreme Court tomorrow for his discharge, on the grolnd that, as the destruction of the Caroline was ordered by the British au- thorities and has been avowed by the Gov ernment he is not liable to punishment or trial by the Judiciary of this State The motion will be heard next week, and the arguments will cover the whole ground of controversy

 If the Court shall deny the application for the discharge of Mcleod, his counsel will apply for change of the venue. This will no doabt be granted, and he will go to trial at suoh time and place as his counsel shall deem advisable An early day is wished for by the prisoner, and is desirable on every account

 Mcleod is ostensibly in the custody of the Sheriff, but no restraint is imposed upon his motions, and if he had any disposition to evade trial and go back to Canada, 1t would seem that every facility is to be of. fered. He is stout and rather powerful man, and has been wandering about the city to-day, looking at the lions, with no body to prevent his escape but the Sheriff of Niagara county, man much inferior in point of physical strength. Very likely there may be some design in all this.- Mel cLeod, it is understood has no desire to get out of the way He intends to brave 1t out, unless he is discharged by authority of law. But he may be made fugitive with out his own consent.

 Mcleod is apparently some 45 years old, about the middle height compactly built broad, full face, sandy hair and whis kers, small scar on his nose, with de termined and somewhat sullen expression of countenance He is very we'll dressed of respectable appearance and might easily be taken for a substantial Duchess County farmer
