CLAIMANT FOR THE ABERDEEN ESTATES.

An extraordinaryaftairhas just occurred in New York in connection with the Erie Railway imbroglio, and the principal in it claims to be none other -than the Earl of Aberdeen, about whose fate there has re-> ceutly been so much discussion. On the night .of the 9th of April, Deputy Judson Jar vis arrested "Lord George Gordon, alias George Henry Gordon, alias Gordon Gordon," at the suit of Mr Jay Gould, on an order of arrest granted by Judge Brady, It appears that Mr Gould swears that on the first of last March he delivered to Gordon 600 shares of Erie Railway stock of the market value of 36,000dol ; that he 'instructed Gordon to sell the stock, and with the proceeds to purchase 80 acres of land in Winchester county, and that Gordon did not observe his instructions, but refused to return the stock, and converted it to his own use. Shortly after his arrest, however, Gordon was released from custody on finding bail in the sum of 37,000d01. But the most curious part of the affair is this : Gordon is an Englishman, who arrived in New Yosk some time ago, representing himself as a large Erie stockholder, and claiming that he owned half of all the stock held in England. He appeared at the Erie office &i the time of Jay Gould's overthrow, and loudly demanded admission, which was refused. He claims to be the Earl of Aberdeen^ whose fate was so long in doubt, but whose loss at sea appears to have been settled beyond all question. Notwithstanding this, the so-called "Lord " George Gordon positively maintains" and asserts his ideiitity with the long-lost nobleman, and declares his intention of claiming the Aberdeen estates.
