LIVERPOOL, Saturday, IL o'clock, A. M.
We are just in possession of our correspondents
letters, dated Dublin, Friday night The chieffea-
ture in the news which these communications con-
tain has reference to the State prosecution against
Mr.. Charles Gavin Duffy. The law officers of the
Crown have used every dodge possible to ensure
his conviction, although two commissions have
passed over since his arrest yet from the shufllng
and shameful manner of conducting the prosecu-
ton he has not been brought to trial. On Wednes-
day last the Grand Jury Of The city of Dublin found
true bill of indictment against Mr. Duffy. This
the third Observation-Disclosures fresh matter, in
GLIDING his celebrated letter to Mr.. OBrien, in
which the Attorney General AYERS that he coun-
seed the levying of war upon the Queen. Ac-
cording to previous arrangement, the Judges fixed
The court sat at 10 O'Clock Precisely. Mr.. Duffy
was then placed at the bar. The Attorney Gene
raj, the Solicitor General Messrs. Baldwin, @. c.,
Lymphy Plunket O. c., Smyley and Pennefather
attended ON behalf of the Crown, and the prisoner
Butt, @. c., Sir Coleman O'Loghlen, Holmes and
John O'Hagan. -#
Mr. Duffy having been called to the bar to plead,
the clerk Of the Crown read an abstract of the
Indictment IN the usual way.
Mr.. Butt @. c., objected to his client pleading
to the present Indictment, which had been found
by the city grand jury, until the old Indictment
should be disposed of. He, Mr.. Butt, submitted
the Indictment should be quashed.
The Attorney General opposed the application,
and commended that If the court was of opinion that
the bill found by the county grand jury should be
disposed of before the prisoner pleaded, the proper
course would be to enter nolle prosequi. After a
short discussion on the subject, in which it appear
ed that there were afidavits preparing in support
of the application, the court desired the matter to
stand over until this Saturday morning, at
10 o'clock. Mr. Duffy was then conducted back
to Newgate, and the Attorney General left to hatch
more schemes whereby he may swindle this young
and ardent pa riot out of his liberty.
The internal state of affairs in Ireland, is, we
regret to say, without any improvement or even the
hope of change for the better. Between the pow
erty and restitution of the small farmers, and the
crowded state of the warehouses, the awful amount
of poor rates which refused, and the discomfort
that prevails, the country is in a frightfu state
The eviction of insovent debtors is the order of the
day. A large and influential meeting has been held
at Portarngton, for the purpose of inducing the
House of Commons to institute searching inquiry
into the whole working of the present poor laws in
Ireland in order to effect the legitimate purpose of
the poor laws. At Skibbereen meeting has been
held, at which a committee of intelligent gentles
men has been appointed to visit and report on the
present state of the poor which is at present really
awful. sa
