TRIAL OF MR. DUFFY.

- -
DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING.—In the Commission
Court to-day, at two o'clock, the Attorney-General
addressing their Lordships with reference to the plea
of abatement handed in by the prisoner on the pre-
vious evening, moved that it should not be received
upon the ground of duplicity, inasmuch as it stated
the same facts twice over relative to the alleged dis-
qualification of Mr. Majoribanks, the grand juror.
Mr. Butt said he had no objection to expunge so
much of the plea as was was objected to for the above
reason; he only wished to have the objection stated
with certainty.
The Attorney-
General said he was 'perfectly
satisfied with the suggestion of the prisoner's counsel,
and would be prepared, at the sitting of the Court,
on the following morning, to announce whether the
Crown would join issue on the amended plea or
demur.
The Court then proceeded to dispose of other
business.

TDB CORN TRADE.—There was rather a lively
market at the Corn Exchange to-day. Wheat fully
maintained the currency of Tuesday, and oats and
barley were 3d. to -lied. dearer. Indian corn met a
slow sale without any alteration in price.

DEATH OF DR. GORDON.—WC most deeply regret
to have to announce the lamented death of Dr. Gordon,
the well-known physician of this town, who expired at
his own house, in Albiorkstreet, at half-past two o'clock
on Wednesday afternoon. His complaint under which
he long lingered, was ulceration of the stomach. He
suffered no pain, and all his mental faculties were clear
to the last moment of his life. His family and relatives
were in the room when he died, and he bade them all an
atDctionate adieu.—Hull Advertiser.
DEPUTATION TO THE BOARD OF CONTROL.—An
incorrect account has appeared in the City article of a
morning paper of an interview which took place on the
Bth inst. between a deputation from Lancaster and York-
shire cotton manufacturers, joined with the managers
of certain railroad companies and the President of the
Board of Control. It is quite true that the President
assured the deputation that due attention
inclined,
would be paid
to their statements, and that he felt as then
advised, to render less stringent one of the terms in-
tended to be offered by the Court of East India Direc-
tors to the railway companies, viz., that which is com-
monly called the contiscation clause ; but it is not true
that, Sir John Hobhouso gave the deputation to under-
stand that he was disposed to yield upon the main point
on which the railway managers seemed principally to
insist—that is to say, en the unconditional guaranteed
dividend of 5 per cent. On the contrary, lest any inis-
un.derstandirg ahraild prevail on this head, Mr. dames
Wilscn, one ea' the secretaries to the India. Board, de-
clisrod—and his statement was confirmed by the Presi-
dent— that the concession to which allusion had been
made had no reference whatever to the guaranteed divi-
dend. It is proper to add also, that nothing was said, as
