The great Tichborne case has been advancing all through the

week, but as yet only part of the evidence for one side has been heard, and it would be folly to form, much more express, any opinion. The mass of evidence as yet adduced tends to prove that officers in Mr. Tichborne's old regiment believe the claimant to be their comrade ; that old servants, friends, and neighbours are of the same opinion ; that he knows innumerable little facts which Mr. Tichborne would have known ; and that the blunders he makes in spelling are similar in kind with the blunders Mr. Tichborne made. Up to Friday, however, he had not himself been placed in the box, and the defendant's case had not been revealed.
