preached very interesting discourse on the
great religious question of the day-Papal ln'

who. clothed in heavy vestmenL sat, day

hours, listening to four hundred long discours.

question. He thought his congregation would
have become tired a good deal before the end
OF these speeches or sermons. lie then pro

required to be believed by every Catholic. 1t
always had been believed and practiced by the
church, though never before expressly defined.
There never was an appeal from papal de-
clsiou, and things within the church would 60

ARich Prize.

Some months since we published
a statement to the effect that Miss
GRAY. q miIIiner Of Fort Edward, had
become the fortunate heir to $40,
100000, which her lover, a young
Englishman had willed to her upon
his dying bed. The main fact in
the case-the heirship-is true; but
we now learn that it was noI to the
lover, but to his father, that Miss
GRAY is indebted for extraordinary
good fortune. In seems that the
lover. on his return to England, like
too many others, proved inconstaDb
and married another lady, against
his fathers will Whether it was re-
morse at his faithIessness, or from
other cause, certain it is the young
man died In about q year after his
marriage; and left all his property
to his father. The old gentleman
was without heirs; and, not having
become reconciled to his daughter
in-law, upon his death left one-half
Of his property to the Government
of England, and the remaining half,
100000, to Miss Gray, the Fort
Edward miIliner. The sum was so
large that many people were dispos-
ed to doubt its truth when it first
appeared in print; but Miss Gray
has already received the first install
ment Of her fortune, a triie OF So
100000, from the British Consul in
New York. On Tuesday last she
received a dispatch from the Consul,
announcing that the money awaited
her order, and on the following day
she left Fort Edward for New York,
where it was paid over to to her.
