On the 28th of May, 1841, Myra Clark Gaines, wife of Major-General Gaines, of the United States army, tired of "the law's delay," and of "the insolence of office,"' rose in the Circuit Court room of the Southern District of Louisi? ana and said, ;'l thank God that I can go be? fore the United States Supreme Court, where I will be heard and have justice done me.' Twenty-seven years of litigation of doubts and fears roll by. On Monday the United States Supreme Court, in the case of Gaines against 1 the City of New Orleans, decided in favor of the plaintiff, and to-day Mrs. Gaines is probably : the wealthiest woman of America. Thirty-six years ago she began the action now terminated m her favor, and out of which other actions j have arisen. The history of the suit is as fol? lows :. j She claimed to be the daughter of Daniel ? Clari, then deceased. Mr. Clark, her father, wa6 born in Sligo, Ireland, and came to this country on the invitation of a rich bachelor uncle, who made him his heir. To the great wealth left him he added greater wealth, and a golden tide flowed into his coders. In 1802 he maxrieiZuhma Carri?re. She had separa? ted from a previous husband when she learned that he had a wife still living. On this account her marriage with General Gaines was a quiet one. Myra Clark was born of this marriage. Disagreements arose between' Mr. and Mrs. ' Clark, and in 1807 they separated. No public acknowledgment of her naniago was ever i mode, and Mrs. Clark again married. In 1813 Daniel Clark made a vrili wherein he recogniz? ed the legitimacy of Myra, and devised to her his immense property. Yet of this will his daughter was kept in ignorance. She was reared by a Mr. Davis, and knew nothing of her parents or her rights. In 18S2 she mar? ried Wm. W. Whitney. In examining some old papers, by mere accident he obtamed an intimation-of his wife's parentage ?nd claims. The following is a schedule of a portion of Mr. Clark's property in 1889: > cotton estate and hinds inherited from his uncle, col Clark.$ 200,000 Two sotten plantations devised to in 1812 by Mr. Wilkins, with 100 negroes on each of them. 200,000 Debts dne from Wade Bampton for Havana Point sugar plantation. 300.000 The Maison Rouge Grant. 2,000,000 Lands purchased of Louis Bouligny, lying in Waahita. 10,000 "<?

He then proceeded to examine, first, the question of the legitimacy of Mrs. Gaines, and the fa?ts on the record concerning it; ,aud, secondly, the mar? riage of Zulima Carri?re with Darnel Clark, and came to a conclusion in favor of Mrs. Games on these points. Then as to the other questions of law and fact, including the aliened copartnership between Clark, Chew & Reif, the alleged insolvency of Clark, the alleged validity of sales by Chew & Reif as executors of Clark, the objection o? prescription and all other technical objections, he decided in* favor of Mrs. Gaines. The court said that it considered this decision con? clusive and final. The will of Daniel Clark admitted to probate " in: the proper court of Louisiana, was binding in the Supreme Court. If there was any objection to that act - ol' the Probate Court, it should have been male at the proper time by proceedings before the same court in Louisiana, which, not having been made, the decision is presumed-to be free from any good cause of objection there, as it necessarily is.'in the Supreme Court of the Uni? ted States.. The suit in the present case was for ? property disposed of by the executors of Daniel Clark, linder pretended authority of the pre? vious will of 1811, which the court decided tio be a nullity. The purchasers must take the consequences.1 This case was argued by Caleb Cubbing, Esq., for Mrs. Gaines, and by Miles Tavlor, Esq.. and M. McConnell, Esq., for the City of New Oiteans. Two other cases, involving the same principles, were also decided on Monday in favor of Mrs. Gaines. Associate Justice Davis expressed the* opinion of the Chief Justice, and of Associate Justices Nelson, Clifford and Field, as well as his own, Associate Jus -tices Grier, Swain and Miller dissenting. jPOKT CA T.TT.yn>AjR.

LIVERPOOL, April 9-11.15 A. M.-Corros-The market this morling opened excited and with a sharp upward turn in prices. The advance since the close of last evening has been folly %d ri lb c n American descriptions. The following are the open? ing prices: Middling uplands, on spot, 12%d; mid? dling uplands, to arrive. 12%d ; middling Orleans 12%d. The sales of the day will be very large, and it is Impossible at this early hour tc estimate them. To-morrow will be a holiday, and there will be co regular pnces, btreet pricte,* towever, if there are any such, wfB be duly forwarded. On account of the holiday to-morrow the usual weekly circular issued under the auspices of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers' Association, ls published to-day. From this circular it seems that the total sales for the week ending last evening were 108,000 balee, including 29,000 for export and about 8000 on speculation. The total stock of cotton in port and on shipboard at present ls ascei fained to be 356,000 bales, of which 196.000 were imported from the United States. The stock on hana is about 1CO0 bales lees than the estimates heretofore made, and the Ameri? can fully 10,000 less. Savannah Weekly .Market. SAVANNAH, April 9.-COTTON-During the early part of the week under review our market evinced considerable excitement, which quieted down to? wards the cloie, our factors generally feeling mo strong to yield to prices offered. Our receipts have been 10,000 bales, an amount, aa we expected, con? siderably over last week, in consequence of the large orders filled in interior towna from this place. Our advices froaa these points sbow great reduction of stocks, and we have no sufficient evidence as yet to predicate any more Cotton to come in than we have already given as likely to be received. New Orleans advices are also greatly in favor of a crop of less than two and a quarter .pillions, notwithstanding ber own apparently heavy receipts. We estimate the receipts at all the ports for the week at 46,000 bales, but in giving this we would state that we are just large enough here to make it positive that interior stocks are greatly reduced. We also hear of an Ala? bama demand in our np country markets which ia sweeping them, and we be.ieve that we give utterance to the general opinion in statine: that tho position of Cotton, from the figures presented, warrants all the confidence reposed in it. We offer as closing prices to-day : Middling 30; low middling 20; good ordi? nary 28. SEA ISLANDS-In vkw of the small offering stock in the market, a good business has been done during the week at our last quotations. European buyers, alive to the fact that the supply is very limited, have aent ont orders, upon which buyers seek in vain to act to any extent, the stock not affording the quan? tity or quality most desired. We renew our quota? tions: common 60c, medium C5a70c, medium fine 95 cents. The receipts of the week have been 164 bales sea Island and 98S6 bales upland, against 154 bales sea island and 3673 bales upland same period last year. The exports have t-een-to Liverpool, i er Charles Chaloner, 147 bales sea island, 2151 bales upland ; per Annie M. Cann. 803 bales upland; per Tasmanian, 67 bales seit island and 3323 bales upland; coastwise, 26 bales sea leland and 3852 bales upland; total, 240 balos St a island and 10,121 bales upland against 133 sea island and 1062 bales upland same period last year.

Ibe shipments from Bombay alone, the last week in March, were 42,000 bales ; theee Increased exports from India may have some influence tn prices.
