IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-The Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania made a few weeks
since, the following important decision un-
der the new law Tor protecting the rights of
married women:
81. The guardianship Of females under
age is terminated by marriage, and the
husband, before the act of is4S relative 10
the rights of married women, might ca II
on the guardian to settle his account and
pay him the balance; but that act has
worked radical change in the condition Of
married women. 9. By the act Of ls4S,
married woman must be considered as sin
gle, in regard 20 any estate of whatever
name or sort owned by her before marriage,
or which shall accrue in her during mar.
riage, in any way; and the husband is not
entitled to the possession Of his wile's
funds. 9. The consent of the wife tia,
the husband shall have her funds, being .
minor, is Of no avail"

GEN. CAss AND THE WILMoT Pro.
vIso.-Gen. Cass, who was instructed by
the Legislature of Michigan TO vote for the
WiImo, Proviso, developed his position in
ressrd to that measure in a late speech in
The Senate on Mr.. Foote'S proposition for
the admission Of California as Stale. A,
the close Ct his remarks he said:
Ills sentiments upon the Wilmot Pro-
viso were now before the Senate, and
in a few days would be before his conslitu-
en's.
..He had been instructed, by the Legis.
lature OF Michigan, TO vote for the proviso
He recognized the right of the Legislature
to Instruct him, but he could nOt.under any
circumstances, violate his conscience, by
voting tor that which he deemed unconsti.
tutonal When this question of the Pro-
viso came before the Sc IN a practical
manner, he would conform 10 the insiruc.
lions, and 10 his own So ntimPnts, by re-
signing that trust he could 10 longer fulfil.
We have never been an admirer Of Mr..
Cass's political course, but his position on
the Wilmot provIso. as indicated in the
foregoing paragraph, is certainly the correct
one, and If similar stand was taken by
Other Northern Senators and Representa-
lives, this fruitful Subject Of agitation
would soon be killed off.

visited Natchez, Mass, on the night of the
9Th, we find in the Na,chez Courier:
A dreadful tornado swept over a por.

lighted up by vivid flashes of lightning.
The tornado was very destructive of tim
Der. fences. gardens, houses, stock, &c;
on the plantations of Mrs. Cooper and
Col. Claiborne. Their damages are very
heavy. but no lives were lost; although 1t
is miracle how their negroes all escaped,
as several Of their houses were blown down.
The tornado passed through the lands Of
Rober, Mccullough, Esq, and left his
dwellings and indeed his entire premises
perfect wreck. 1t is our painful duty 10
chronicle the death of Mr.. Mccullough,
occasioned by the tornado. He had risen
