[special Dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch.]important decision. Washington, Feb. 18. --The Supreme Court to-day (Judge Taney presiding) announced its decision in the case of the Powhatan Steamboat Company vs. the city of Petersburg. The amount involved, interest and costs, is over $20,000. The subject matter is as follows: In 1853, the steamboat Belvidere, Capt. Gifford, landed at City Point a quantity of goods, which were stowed in the warehouse at that place, (owned by the city of Petersburg as an appendage to the City Point Railroad.)
