Philadelphia, April 21. On Friday afternoon last, in the district court of the United States, Judge Washington presiding, came on the trial of John Hart, one of the high constables of Philadelphia, for having twice stopped the United States' mail stage, for not conforming to the municipal regulations of said city-1st the western mail stage, for driving at a speed exceeding 6 miles an hour-and 2dly, the eastern mail stage, for not having bells attached to the horses, when carried upon runners. The charge of the Judge, we understand, was in favour of the defendant, who was consequently acquitted by the jury, on Saturday afternoon. This decision may be viewed as settling a very important question in relation to the right of local authorities to enforce obedience to their wholesome regulations, which have been hitherto in some degree slighted, by those who considered they were acting under paramount authority.

An eastern paper mentions, that thirty million feet of boards, besides other lumber passed that borough, on the Susquehannah, during one week in April. These boards.

The legislature of this State, during the last session, made an appropriation of $521,000 for the benefit of public works and internal improvements.
