WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Col. Charles
Case, Receiver OF the First National
Bank OF New Orleans, has Just arrived,
and reports to the Comptroller of the
Currency that he has intelligence from
Messrs. j Evans n Ryley, his solicitors
in Liverpool, that the House of Lords
has recently decided tho last OF q series
OF chancery caacs in his favor; thus se-
curing some $7O.0UO or more to the
fund for the general creditors of the
bank. Col. Case may Justly cougratu-
late himself upon this result. When the
bank failed some six years since, sundry
creditors who had bought its bills on tue
Bank OF Liverpool sought TO secure the
payment OF their claims in full, by ipsti-
tuting proceedings in chancery in Eng
land; by which they tied up, pendenfe
ute, and hoped finally to appropriate,
between 500, 600 aud $500, OOO then on
deposit in the Liverpool Bank, upon the
theory that there had been specific ap-
preparation Of funds to pay the several
bills as they were negotiated. They
seemed confident of success, and many
other creditors, and even some
eminent lawyers, were moro than fearful
that this large sum would bo lost to the
general funds; but the receiver, after u
careful consideration Of tho facts, con-
clnded that the snits ought to be defeat
ed, both because these facts did not war
rant tho theory of any specific appropri.
ntlon, and because it was not within the
powers OF national bank to make such
an appropriation on time bill, as
against the contingency of it's own in
tervening Insolvency. He resolved,
therefore, to contest the cases, and did

Chancellor and three judges with him sit

reversing the Vice Chanoellor's decree,
aud decreeing the money to bu paid to
the receiver. All but two of the claim
ants acquiesced in this decree. These
two. upon the ndvice of Hon. j. P. Ben
jamip, took an appeal to the House of
Lords; thus tising up els, 900 of the funds
two years longer. The appeal, after the
most elaborate argument on behalf OF
appellants, has just been dismissed with
costs; and the receiver, after six years
fighting, from the lowest to the highest
chancery tribunal in England, is finally
completely successful
