D | E D..

In Baltimore, on the 18th November, after
long and painful illness, Mrs. LOUISA FoREEY,
aged II years. The decease of this amIabe
lady, after long life of usefulness and virtue,
chequered too by series of severe family dis
pen Ations-having lived TO see deposited in the
grave husband and all her children, who were
struck down in the prime of life by that fell dis
ease consumptlon--is event that will bring
forth the tear Of regret TO the eyes Of hundreds
who knew and loved her well. Theg have lost
a friend who was ever ready 10 confer favors-
one whose -urbanity and kindness shoue forth on
all occasions without pride CT ostentation, and
with sincerity which forced the conviction that
II came from the heart. But the poor will suf-
fer more by her death. Year after year with a
generosity that knew no bounds her bounteous
hand gave life and sustenance 10 numbers who
otherwise often might have felt the pangs of
want. In sickness or health, she was ever the
same, ministering 10 their comfort in a manner
that will cause her memory to be cherished for
long years to come, and even her late residence
al the corner of Green and Fayette streets looked
upon with reverence as the source from whence
the good old LADY, dispensed blessings to those
less favored in worldly goods than herself She
now sleeps her last sleep--a sleep into which
she sank with the consciousness of having per-
formed her duty to Him who ruleth on high as
well as to her fellow beings.

PRIZE MoNEY.-Mr. C. T. Stewart, the prize
agent for the distribution of the funds of certain
vessels captured, at Tampico during the Mexican
war, has addressed letter from Philadelphia to
the Baltimore Sun, explaining the condition of the
Fund. Not having published the prominent charges
made against the conduct of Mr.. Stewart as agent,
in the Baltimore SQn-charges which the editor of
that paper has stated were made under HSsinforma-
ton, we omit the references TO these topics. He
states shat the decree directing the distribution of
the fund was made in February, and that he pro.
ceeded to pay out weekly, until in July, when he
was stopped by an order of the Navy Department
claiming the fund. This claim was made under
official construction of an act of Congress, and
extends 10 reclamation from him of all that he had
paid out under the claim. Mr.. Stewart thereupon
finding himselfih an embarrassing dilemma, called
upon the Secretary of the Treasury to refund to
him the whole amount involved.
