The decision is thus noticed in the National Intelligencer of this morning : The following comments on the decision are from the N. V.

The enta of the litigation on the pi rt of Mrs. Gainea alone, cannot have beeo leea than eighty l ninety thousand dol lara, but the result involves many millions. The history of Mrs. Gainca, aa we gather it from the record of the case prepared for the use of the Supreme Court, ia full of the most ro mantic and various incident. She is a woman of remarkable abilities, decision am! generosity, and of manners singularly frank and engaging. Perhapa no woman in thia country haa more or warmer friend, and ifhe has any enemies, she owes it entirely to the remarkable position she bss so long occupied ss a defrauded and injured heireaa of one of the largest etatesnf the couti. nent, held by numerous and powerful confed eracy, w hote hopes of triumph were baaed upon her supposed friend leasueea and poverty.

Gainea, who haa, wih the moat untiring assiduity, maintained hereauae to the present suoceaalol iasue.
