IMPORTANT DECISION As TO NON-REsI-
DENT TRADRgs.-Chief Justice Scott, of the
Supreme Bench of Baltimore, on Saturday de-
livered an opinion in the case of Henry Dresc-
her. a non resident trader, arrested aud COM
mitted 10 Jail on the lIth Of December last, on
the charge of violating an act OF the General
Assembly of Maryl land, which forbids any per.
son not a permanent resident OF the State Of
ferIng OF exposing for sale goods, wares, &C.,

TIE REVOLUTION IN CUBA.-Advices from
Cuba confirm the announce m-nt that the rev.
olutionists ha We decreed the abolition of slavery
" ithin their lines. The Cubans show no in
tention TO accept the compromise measures pro-
posed by Captain General Dulce, who has
promulgated his proclamation aboIishIng
courts martial in Cuba for the trial of civil
cases. The emancipation proclamation is con-
sidered an indication of growing weakness on
the part of the insurgents. As usual, Govern
ment reports about the decrease of the rev olu-
ton are contradioted by well informed Gu
bans" Puerto Principe is still surrounded
by insurgents. On the 18th ult. 500 Spanish b
troops were defeated with loss, near CasulIdad
Eeguai. by sUO insurgents. Several new Liber-
al journals have be- n started in Havana.

INTERESTING WILL CAsK.-An interesting
case is presented before the New York Supreme
Court General Term, in which Arch chbishop
McCloskey and others are appellants, aud the
widow of Thomas NJ. LangtOn and others are
respondents. Langton, coal merchant of that
city, died Nc vember !, Ic65, leaving a wife a
mother and brother, the two last named resi-
ding at the time in Pennsylvania. Six days
before his death he made his will, whereby he
bequeathed his estate, valued at over SGU,UOO
10 Archbishop McCloskey, and Bishop Wood,
efPhiladelphia, for church purposes, except
ing an annuity to his widow of 500, and one
or two other small bequests. Surrogate Tuck
refused TO admit this will to probate on the
ground that the deceased. at the time of the ex-
ecution Of the will, was not competent TO make
II. The appeal was taken from the decision of
