LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURTS. (nature Vice-Chaaedlor Stuart.) fafr HENRY ALFRED JONEPH DOINNHTY TICHHOENE HART., AN my ANT CYDER THE AGE Of 21 YEARN (BY THE HONOCHABLE LADY TEREAA MARY JOSEPHINE DOCUIITY WIDOW, HIM MOTHER, AID NM 1111DIND r. THOMAS CASTRO. This suit was instituted by the above•named plaintiff who by himself, or his trustees is now in possession of the Tichborue' piopertyl against the defendant, who is Netter known by his assubied Daum and title of Sir lt•ager Charles Ticbborne, Bart., to re strain him from receiving, possessing himself of or intenneddling with the personal estates and effects of Lady Henrietta rebate Tichborne (who died suddenly un the I•2th March last, intestate), pending proceedings in the Probate Court touching the grant of administration of the personal estate and effects of the said intestate ; and for a receiver to get in and preserve the said estate and effects pending these proceedings. The suit is only ono of several connected with the claim made by the defendant to the title and estates of the Ticbborne family, and sought no other relief than that above stated. Mr. Barton, Q.C., and Mr. Chapman Barber appeared for the plaintiff in this suit, and brieSy submitted that it was the constant practice and, in fact, the duty of this court, in cases of pending litigat'on, to great an in junction and receiver, as prayed by the bill (and now moved for). The bill stated that the identity of the defendant with the Sir Roger Charles Tich borne, who was the eldest son of the late Sir James Francis Doughty Tichborne, and Lady Henrietta FeHaiti, his wife, who left this country for South Ame rica in 1813, where he duly arrived, is wholly disputed and denied by the plaintiff in this suit, and all the members of the Tichbeene family. In support of the present application it was submitted that at this stage of the various suits the evidence as to the identity of the defendant was really immaterial. Mr. Kerslake, Q.C., for the defendant, Thomas Castro, insisted that that question was not immateriaL This court only interfered in the way proposed, when the pro perty in question in the' snit we, in danger, which was not the case here ;and moreover,if he could prove, salts would, that Thomas Castro was the Sir Roger Charles Tichborne, and the eldest and only eon of Lady Henriette Tichborne, he—and he only—was the person entitled to the ;mat of the letters of administration. He then read a m.os of evidence to prove the latter position. Mr. C. Lmock Wells was with him for the defendant. The Vice.t'hancellor, after uharvini that it was the COPi'lloll and established practice of the court to interfere in eases of pending litigation in the Frobate Court, to protect the property in question, said that this was eminently • ease for the intervention of the court. Without entraining, and, indeed, sax kusly avoiding, any intimation of an opinion on the ex. traw.linlry evidence adduced on behalf of the defendant ir. • l• suit, the Vice-Chancellor granted the injunction, awl ,de an order for the appointment of a receiver, ac cordial; to the motion in the MOM (Before Vice•Cheaecllor Gifford.) LYON E. HONE. At t_' &chefs to-day Mr. Matthews continued his ad dress on behalf of the defendant Home. 11c proceeded to say that the estrangement which took pl..ce between the plaintiff and defendant threw a very important light on the question of the alleged delusion. Commenting on the plaintiff'■ letters to Wilkinson, be said they plainly ahowetf the na tur.tl workings of her own mind. The suggestions of what Drat opened Mrs. Lyon's eyes were, first, the reading of Chevalier's book, the other, the denial of Home that the spirits had scything ►o de with the matter. These sug• !tedious, Mr. Matthews argued, were unfounded and false. The gradual change of feeling which Mrs. Lyon'scon. duct exhibited was inconsistent with the sudden discovery a fraud. (in the first occasion she had the advice of ilfr. Hall, on the second the advice of Wilkinson and Mr. lencken. The Vies-Chancellor drew attention to the circumstance that on the occasion of the gift of 24,0001. to Home, she spoke of giving him M,OOO/ . . Mr. Matthews said that nevertheless she withdrew that intention. and the circumstance was a confirmation of Mr. Hall's testimony. Mr. Matthews will probably oonclule his speech hi the COUI,O of the day, when he will be followed by Mr. Fitzroy Hal) , for Home. The defendant Wilkinson's case will then be opened, Mr. James's reply will follow, and, possibly, on Friday, but more probably not till the early pa. t of next week, the hearing will be concluded. ►THIRD EDITION.

ACQUITTAL OF CASEY. The proceedings in connection with the trial of Busk', Case;, and Shaw were resumed this morning at the Central Criminal Court. When Justice Keating and Baron Br►mwell had taken their seats on the belch, the latter, addressing the Soli citor• General, said, as the 'emit of a consultation with his learned brother, he wished to ask whether the law officers of the crown thought there was sufficient evidence against the prisoner Casey to press for a conviction The Solicitor-General replied that it had been proved that C.rsey, when at Birmingham, was found in close con nexion with Burke, then employed in procuring arms, and had also lived with him in London under circumstances from which it must le assumed that he was fully ac quainted with Burke 's designs and the way in which they were curried out. After some conversation, in the course of which both the learned judges expressed a strong opinion as to the insufficiency of the evidence effecting Casey, The Solicitor-General intimated him determination to withdraw the case ag►inst Casey, and the jury under the direction of the bench found a verdict of Nat Gaiity, the foreman remarking that the coerce adopted by the law officers of the crown was one that he and bin colleagues fully approved. Mr. Y. H. Lewis, who was counsel for Cue;, said ha had witnesses in ►ttendance who were prepared to prove that his client was engaged at Messrs. Pickford's at the very time that he was stated to have been associated with Burke. Baron Br newell remarked that though It might be hard upon Mr. Le'eria's client to be prevented from showing that be wan innocent, all that could be now done was to act upon the verdict of the jury. Casey was then discharged from custody. Mr. Ernest Jones then addre.sed the jury in an eloquent speech on behalf of the prisoner Burke. After impres sing on the jury the great unportscce of themse, he referred to the invisible letter of which Mullany spoke at the other trial, and argued that it was impossible for Burke to have secreted the necessary chemical ingredients about his per son. lie contended that But ke's resistance to apprehen sion was the resistance of an innocent man, and one which every innocent man would otter if he were refused to see the warrant which had been honed for his arrest. Apart from the testimony of the four informeis, Mullany, Cory don, Massey, and Devaney, the only evidence was that Burke, under the name of Winslow, bud bought arms of Mr. Kynock, and he (Mr. Jones) con tended that it was not the pert of the prisoner to show what he bad done with the arms, hut it was for the crown to show that be bought them for the purposes which the prosecution alleged. Supposing he had been connected with some filibustering or revolutionary expedi dition in South America, it would have been impossible for him to have brought over witnesses to prove the fact, as he was not a man who was rich himself, nor had be friend.. in • high station of life. If Burke had bought arms for one of the South American states, it would have been • breach of the neutrality law, and that would be an inducement for any man to change his name. Then one of the principal points in Burke's below was that notwithstanding the large quantity of arms which he pur chased from Mr. Kynock, not one rifle nor revolver sent by him from Birmingham was found with the Irish in surgents. The crown had laid particular strain upon the fact that Burke hail been seen in company with Veniatui in Liverpool, but they must notallow that part of the case to influence them unfavourably wisest the prisoner, for even if he hail been aware of their designs, and knew everything about their movements, no criminality would attach to him. He eared not how suspicions were the cir cumstances which affected his client. The crown were bound to convert them into absolute and undeniable proofbefore • verdict of guilty could be returned. rho learned counsel then referred in satirical terms to the informers, and told the jury that the evidence of those individuals should be discarded altogether, as there had been no corroboration as to material fact, and the prisoner's position was therefore in no way injured by it. The man Lawrence, who was proved to have received the arms sent from Birmingham to Liverpool, hail not been connected with the Fenian movement, and the only assumption to entertain concern ing him was that be was the innocent servant of Burke, and not the agent of • conspiracy. Remarking upon the impartiality and the fairness which had been exhibited in the cases of the prisoners who were discharged from custody on Tuesday, and in that of Casey, who was acquitted this morning he asked them to imitate the sense of justice thus shown by English juidgea and an English jury, and to show the Irish ride that nothing brit the spirit of fairness actuated Englishmen in dealing with offences meteor lees connected wit Ireland. Mr. Pater then addressed the jury on behalf of Shaw. He dwelt upon the circumstance that the informers, Massey and Devany, did not re fer to Lis client, cerydon bad sworn that he was present at the meetings of American officers ,iu Liveerrppooool, but there was not the 'Ugliest scintilla 'of aorrobontive evident* to warrant the jury in paying an attention to that allegation. With regard to the evidence which h.d been adduced to prove the identity of Shaw as having assisted Burke in Binning ham, he argued that Mr. Kynock's identifica tion of Casey as being Shaw at the police-court negatived the force of his testimony on the point at the re psent triad. Mr. Kynock stated that be knew Mullady by his red hair; but if that were the ease, how was it that he had pointed at Casey, whose hair was black, as Malady ? The sec o nd witness who had been produced to identify Mul lady was • man whose evidence was altogether unreliable, and whose antecedents rendered his story entirely unworthy of credence. Touching the Fenian rising near Dublin. counsel reminded the jury that his client had not been proved to have been there, nor yet at the attack upon the po- lice barrack, referred to yesterday. Shaw was arrested in Ireland, having a loaded revolver at the time, but he had suffered 15 months' imprisonment for that offence, and the jury should not allow it to influence them in deciding upon the charges which were now brought against him. In conclusion, he again reminded them that the only evidence of • serious nature which had been given against his client was that of Cory don. He adjured them not to place reliance upon it, and hoped they would allow Shaw to return to his home, family, and occupation. The court then adjourned for a short time. Ippon its re-assembling, The Solicitor-General replied on behalf of the crown. He told the jury to dismiss from their minds the suggestion of the counsel for the defence that • verdict of acquittal would be a message of peace for Ireland, and to consider the case upon its merits and form their conclusion upon the evidence which had been adduced. After referring to the contemplated attack on Chester Castle and the rising in Ireland as proof of the formidable character of the Fenian conspiracy, the Solicitor-General proceeded to deal with the testimony which had been given in support of the charge against the prisoners. He said it would be idle and futile to call accomplices if Mr. Jones's suggestion that the evidence of the informers should be entirely dis regarded were carried out. The jury might consider such evidence with care and jealousy, and examine the motives which had induced either or all of the informers to come forward ; but they should see whether it was not so far corroborated as to justify them in believing in its truth or improbability. It was not for him to justify the conduct of Corydon. They all knew he was a bad, wicked man, for whom they had the greatest contempt, but then they should remember that he was the instrument by which the objects of the conspiracy had been thwarted, and that he had assisted in crushing • scheme which would have spread death and bloodshed far and wide. There fore, instead of being led away by the fact that Corydon was an informer, and a contemp tible informer, they should compare his evidence with that of the other informers and with that of inde pendent witnesses, and see whether it did not contain ele ments of truth. The character of Devany, another in former, was little above Corydon's. Then they came to Massey, the third informer, and in referring to him he (the Solicitor-General) submitted his position and antecedents entitled him to some consideration at the hands of the jury. Up to the time of his arrest he was determined to fight foe the Fenian cause in Ireland, and the circumstances under which be gave information to the government were such as to justify • belief in his credibility, and to indicate him as a man actuated by motives other than those which had induced his companions to give their services to the crown. Adverting to Burke's acts in Bir mingham, the Solicitor-General maid they had the unde niable fact that ender a false name he purchased arms and ammunition to the amount of 2,000 L, and sent them to Liverpool from time to time. Massey stated that Burke told him he had purchased arms for the Fenian', and cor roboration of Masse s statement was to be found in a fact which be mentioned as having been communicated to him by Burke, and which was afterwards dower(' to by Mr. firma, namely, that on one wagon Burke obtained credit to the extent of 9001. Another circumstance which militated against the pri•Olier was that arms were sent from Liverpool to Cork under a false consignment, and that they were recognised by Kr. Kynook as being the sAtne am those which he had *old to Burke. It had been suggested for the defence that Burke was the agent of a firm connected with Chili, but why bad not evidence en the point been produced, or why had no amount been given of the part played by the men Lawrence who re ceived the arms in Liverpool? In concluding his remarks with regard to Burke he wu obliged to my that he thought the case against him was unanswerable. Referring to Shavr's alleged participatioa in the Fenian movement, be called the attention of the jury to the state ment made by Corydon, that Shaw attended meetings in Liverpool, and that he went to Mrs. Black:wore' house by the name of Mollady. Amelia Tye had told them abe believed Shaw wu the man who came to Mr. Kynnek's with a letter from Burke, but she was not in a position to swear to him pad ively. If the evi dence rested there it would be unsatisfactory, but then they found that Mr. Kynock came forward and positively identified Shaw as one of the men he bad seen sveiating Burke in Birmingham, and this evidence of identification had been corroborated by Fisher, the railwa clerk, whose character counsel for the defence had need lessly Corydon deposed that at a meeting in the Zoological gardens in Liverpool, Shaw was appointed to go to Ireland as one of the fighting men. Corydon's evidence required corroboration, and no more satisfactory corroboration could be given than the fact that Shaw and another men were arrested in Ireland, having loaded revolvers in their possession, and that they were subsequently imprisoned for carrying arms in a proclaimed district. At 10 minutes to 4 Baron Bramwell commenced his summing up. LA'riEST sposTniti INTELLIGENCE NEIMAN:ET MEETING.—(THIS DAY.) ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS. Athena . . 2 8 ran. SWEEPSTAKES OF 100 SON'S.

This day the half-yearly meeting of pro prietors _ was held at the Cannon-street Terminus Hotel, Mr. War- KIN, 11. P., in the chair. The report having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN, in moving it for adoption, said that dur ing the half-year 1054 miles of the line had been renewed ,• 352,000 mow sleepers bad been put down, and 11,740 1 . h a d been spent in bailout.

They carried 31,000 f. to the suspense account. Them was, moreover, commercial distress and bad weather in Canada, which militated against the traffic. He re gretted be was not able to give a more favourable account, bathe should like to know what the directors had failed to do, or what they neglected to do, to bring about a more satisfactory result. He believed they had now got rails that would stand Me severity of the Canadian climate, and the last amounts received showed that the traffic was increasing. There was also an increase of the rolling stock, which was absolutely essential to the development of that traffic. He could only hope that the company had seen its worst days. The motion having been seconded, Mr. CARE:NM-I and other shareholders expressed a hope that the Canadian government and people would come in aid of the company. The Canadian, alone benefitted by the line, and there was a moral obligation on them to sadist the company in its diMeulties. [The meeting was still going on when we went to press.] THE IRISH CHURCH.—Last night a densely crowded public meeting of the inhabitants of Deptford was held at the Literary Institution in that town in support of Mr. Gladstone's resolutions on the Irish church. The chair was occupied by Mr. Saunders, and on the platform were several of the most influential residents of the die- Mkt. Resolutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting were adopted. METROPOLITAN POOR-LAW MEDICAL OFFICERS' Amu:curios. —last night the usual quarterly neesting wu held at the Ship Tavern, Charing-cross, when Dr. Bogert. the president, after • lengthened statement of his contest with the guardians of the Strand Union and the Poor-law Board resigned the pre s idential chair, as, he said, be was no longer • Poor-law medical officer. He had incurred the displeasure of the guardians because he had exposed their treatment of the sick poor, and the hatred of the permanent staff of Gwydyr-house because be bad founded the Workhouse Improvements Association, but all his acts had been dictated by motives of humanity. Dr. (Adria, of St. George's, Hanover-equare, having assumed the chair, Dr. Rogers was elected an honorary member, and on the motion of Dr. B. Clarke, of Upper Clapton, a special resolution was pared by a;olanlatkw, warmly acknowledging the rewires of Dr. Rogers, and re-appointing him president, while expressing the deep sympathy of his medical brethren in " his recently unmerited pereeciutien," and their firm oat viatica that both the press and the public share in their sentiments. The meeting then proceeded to the conskle ration of three resolutions, which, after mach discussion, were agreed to. The first affirmed the wisdom of the rystem of payment "per cue," fixing the minimum at is. 6d., exclusive of medicine, but subject to triennial revision and the equity of the Marylebone scale sanc tioned by the Poor-law Board •, the second protested against tUhre new general order of the Poor-law Board as being likely to bring medical officers into frequent conflict with the guardians ; and the third expressed sur., after past sanction of the custom, at their dream fetter respecting the employment by medical damn of legally unqualified assistants.

The most prominent picture in M. Dor6's collec tion, as regards the place assigned to it and the nature d the subject, is that professing to symbolize the triumph of Christianity over Paganism. In the upper part of the canvas, which is an upright oblong, the figure of Christ holding the cross is seen in the midst of • shining host of angels, Himself the centre and source of the heavenly light, which renders His form and features indistinct from excessive effulgence. Immediately beneath are exter minating angels, wielding flaming swords, one of whom takes the lead of the rest as they dart in pursuit of the fleeing gods of heathendom, rushing pell-mell with the symbols of their worship and attributes of their godship into the Hades below. The gods and priests of Egypt and Assyria, of Gaul and Scandinavia, of Greece and India, are included in the rout, some standing out defined and promineut, in bright and gaudy tints, and sonuiveikd in shadow and vaguely outlined. If the e ff ect of the whole is wanting in that telling contrast of light and shade which the opposition of celestial radiance and infernal darkness suggests and H. Dorf has so often shown he can master, there is in it, carried to • high degree, the skilful ara besque-like wapitis( of an involved multitude of figures also distinctive of the artist ; but neither for harmonious colour nor correct drawing can the work be praised, in lieu of which we have theatrical tawdriness and botchy tirelessness. Next in importance ranks the life-else Ulna tration of monastic life called "The Neophyte," presenting a row of monks in white woollen frocks, at their devo tions, the central 'figure being that of the neophyte, whose youthful visage, half-wrapt, half perplext look, and lithe, upright form, contrasts with the fogy-like oddities on each side of him, whose grotesque mode of worshipping seems to give the young- devotee pause. The intention of the subject is certainly discernible, but the heed of the neophyte the merest sketch, and the heads of the other monks, though more clearly defined, are not to be upheld as examples of the distinction between character and caricature. Beyond dexterity in the treatment of the uniform garb of the monks and the credit of inventiveness, more superficial than real, in their varied poses, and the characters and expression, of their beads, there is nothing else noticeable in this clever pseudo picture. Rightly marshalled accord ing to the received code of dignity for works of art comes the scriptural illustration, which might be entitled "Gideon choosing his soldiers." Here we have a con fused host of warriors gathered about the sheet of water which was to afford the criterion divinely promised, by which the Jewish chieftain was to select his following. The time is sunset, as it seems, and the mingled gleams green and ruddy on the disturbed waters have that lurid effect of which Dorf poetesses the cunning, and the huddled, and variously employed watts of men, horses, and camels , from which arms a forest of spears, and which culminates on a piece of rising ground, whence Gideon with his staff commands the scene, calls forth as regards its design the qualities in the artist with which we are so familiar. The disposition of light and shade and colouring, however, are of that flashy effectiveness which would be given by a scenic artist to a painted canvas destined to complete • stage crowd and support a momentary illusion. " Angels guarding Moses" is the work in which the artist seems to hare kept most within his means. The monotone of colour— the conventional greenish hue of night—instigates no sins of omission Decommission in the matter of colour, and the ghastly and floating angelic figures evoke the fanciful feeling and sense of graceful flowing form characteristic of the artist. The sleeping babe is, however, totally unworthy, even takes as an average specimen of budding hantanity, of solicitude angelic or earthly. Of the less ambitious subjects, the Spanish manes the Alpine landscapes, the studies of peasant and vagabond life, we may say that thee, is in them all the readiness and dereniess, the fertility and versatile power which Done can decy M. Dore ; and the subjects being more directly studies of actual nature, there is less discrepancy between the intention and the accomplishment ; but of all it must equally be said, as of the works already more minutely canvassed, they are not paintings in the serious acceptation of the term. The exhibition ought to have this weight with the young artist who may be induced to visit it—to show how much of what he has to study so label ionsly to attain may be converted into were knack, and therefore to assign a higher value to the fastidious ness which long hesitat s over the choice of a subject and the eouseientiousness which dictates its realisation through a course of close and patient study and labour, and by means not always lying so Invitingly open as the beaten paths to conventional effect which M. Guetave Dore treads with such athletic and untiring vigour.

THE ELDER DIERAELL —Too much has been written, and written in an offensive style, of Mr. Dis raeti's Mumble birth. The fact is that he was born in a recognised position of respectability and compe tence. He was as well-born as Addison, ea Canning, as Burke, as Philip Francis, a Sheridan, or as Horner. His father was more oelebrated, or at any rate, better keews, than the fathers of some of these statesmen. A 'Wiens man, who wrote books of amusing gowdp shoot authors, and who enjoyed the pleasures of literary society and literary recreation, without the necessity of literary drudgery, is not to be quoted as a sample of Grub street poverty or Grub-street lowliness. Of the fathers of famous men whom we have cited, two may be repelled as of an equal mark and name with the elder Disraeli—the father of Addison, and the father of Sir Philip Francis. Each of these was an author, who obtained a fair repute in his day, and each of them has bees eclipsed by • more celebrated son. Each was a scholar like the elder Disraeli, each moved in good society, and each is for gotten now, or will be forgotten soon. It is superfluous to push the comparison farther. We should not have touched on it at all, had it not been for the incessant yelping in which some members of the press have indulged cc Yr. Disraeli's elevation. It is sta.:tent to remember that he was born in a sphere which enjoyed the advan tages of liberal and refined education as fully as the first gentleman is the land.—Edimburgh Reriew, new number.
