IMPORTANT DECISION.

The majority of our Supreme Court,
consisting Of Chief Justice Eustis, and
Judges Rost and King, yesterday delivered
a very important decision in. the case Of
''The city Bank Us. Huston and others"
It appears that the plaintiffs, holding the
first TiOrtgaga ON the real estate known as
Banks's Arcade and other property in our
city, declined going INTO the Bankrupt
Court to enforce their rights againststhe
property when the owner thereof Thomas
Banks, took the benefit of the Bankrupt
Act of Congress, passed in August, 1641.
The assignee of Banks, sold the property,
by order of the Bankrupt Court, to the de-
PENDANTS, and the plaintiffs bring this suit to
enforce their rights on the moFtgaged pre-.
misses in defendants possession. The
majority of the Court decided in favor of
the plaintiffs, being ofopinion, that the Uni.
ted States District Court, sitting in Bank
ruptcy, had no jurisdiction to sell mortga-
ged property under such circumstances.
Judge SfdeIl read his dissenting opinion,
arguing, that on the "score of ~expediency
and in accordance with many previous de-
the question ought not, at this late
day, TO be unsettled" Property, to the a.
mount Of many millions OF dollars, will be
by the decision in this case. An
appeal win be Immediately taken to the
Supreme Court, at Washington, and the
Judgment of that tribunal viii, forever, put
he matter to rest The decision, has caus-
ID an agreeable stir among the legal fra.

With the present No. commences the 29th
volume Of the Baton-Rouge Gazette. In twen-
" nine years what changes have taken place
In this community. U
Then the lone Star, which gracefully waved
over the Fort of Baton-Rouge, had just been
merged into the brilliant constellation chat
compose our Republic, Party spirit ragged high
amongst the adherents Of the Crown Of Spain,
the p~artisans Of the one starred flag, and those
who were in favor of annexation to the north
American Republic.
Now the last remaining CastilAhs and Moors
have disappeared. Their stately forms have
descended to the dust. But their descendants
remain, they have amalgamated with the anglo
saxon race, and have united the chivalry of old
Spain with the indomitable energies of the An
giles, and the gallantry of modern Gaul.

How MEE SHOULD TREAT WoMEH.-A
Persian poet gives the following instruc-
ton on this important point. "When thou
art married, seek to please thy wife, bue
listen not to all she says. From mans
right side a rib was taken to form a wo-
man, and never was there seen q rib quite
straight. It breaks, butbends not. Since
then L j. plain that crooked is woman's
temper, forgive her faults and blame her
moi, nor let her anger thee. nor correction
use, as it is vain to strengthen what is
crooked"
