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 Il Ryley, his solicitors
III Liverpool, that the House of Lords
has recently decided tho last of q series
OF chancery cases in his favor; thus &C.
curing some S7U,OUO or more to the
fund for the general creditors of the
bank. Col. Case may justly congratu-
late himself upon this result. When the
bank faiscd, some six years since, sundry
creditors who had bought it's bills on the

therefore, to contest the cases, and did

reversing the Vice Chancellor's decree,
and decreeing the money to be paid to
the receiver. All but two of the claim
ants acquiesced in this decree. These
two. upon the advice of Hon. J. P. Ben

Lords; thus tieing up ELS, 900 of the funds

most elaborate argument on behalf of
appellants, has just been dismissed with
