Carpenter, of counsel for tlie accused, moved that tlie trial be postponed until the first Monday of December uext, and asked that tiie time tor the discussion of this motion be fixed at two hours for each sldu: request granted 18 to 10. lilalr addressed the isenate in favor ot the motion, lie argued that it was Impos sible tor the beuate to do justice to the greut and important question involved in tilts case, oil account oi the advanced atae ot tlie session, aud counsel had no time to make Investigations or for perfecting thetuselve'i to argue this grest question again. The JUoo-si was even now making investigations with a view of presenting uudilioual articles of impeachment, uud it any additional charges were to be mad.t counsel for the accuseu wanted them here. They invited the closest scrutiny Into the oillciul conduct ol the accused, tie refer red to his life, uud stated he had won his way into the councils of the nation on tlie field of battle. Another reason why the Senate should postpone the trial was that It connected Itself directly with political parties that were almost coiuuiitUd to his destruction. Judge Black followed iu support of the motiou to postpone. He spoke an Lour, and dwelt some length upon the political excitement ngaiust the accused, contending it was so intense that each party was committed to his ruin. It was iuipotttible for him to have a fair trial, though be mlglai not have a fair trial, though he mlglit have an honest one. He also uitlmated that ids defense would be paintul; lht nothing but feeling the abso lute loss of bis reputation could move him to it. - Tlie Senate retired at 4 o'clock to con sult on the motion to postpone the im peaciiineiit trial. At 4:3U tlie Senators re turned, and tlie President pro tern mu uouced that the counsel for the respondent lor a continuance of the trial uutll Decem ber had been overruled.

Tyler lost his wile about a year ago, which had caused li'uu iuiiuIi despondency, and this, together with other circumstances may account fur the deed. On the morn ing mentioned he went out to the barn and attempted first to sever the jugular vein with a orokeu bottle. Failing in this at tempt, but leaving a horrible wound, he next tried to hung hlinseil with a rope, but his feet touched the floor, and he was again uiiMiccessful. Then he got an ax, and proceeded to gush his forehead, strik ing himself perl nips filly times, culling his lace iu a most ghastly manner. Fail ing in the third mode, he, in the most de termined mauner,took a razor and tried to sever the large veins iu both arms. Again he failed, aud finally with determination and will which were most surprising, he took a razor, and With a tremendous etlort cut his throat, laying it open clear into the spinal column, and leaving a piece of the razor there. It was oue ol the most de tered caes of suicide on record. 0HMllion, Owing to the increase ot the rates of fare hi horse cars, a line of new first class 'busses has been established on Mi-slun and Market streets, which is meeting with gratifying success at five cent tares. )leiuntlc Siwtiiillcr. $n:iKGFirj.n, Ohio, April 23.

NKW Yokk, April 29 Some four years ago a number of bankers and brokers in ttilt city were swindled out of sums ag gregating about $97,000 by means of counterfeit 7 30 United States bonds These . brokers sent to tlie treasary de partment tor redemption and received the proceeds. After the , bogus character of the bonds was discovered Hie government Instituted suit to recover the amount. The case was tried iu the U. S. District court and resulted in a verdict for the govern ment apportioning the amount as follows : Jay Cooke and others, $ la, 005 ; Central National itank, $3,523 ; U. B. Hatch, fj, 440 40 ; Peter M.

The Tribune's Washington correspond ent says : An interesting incident which has never been printed has just transpired: On Hie day when Lincoln was inaugurat ed the second time iu 18US, and just at the east portico, a nun, recognized by several persons to be John Wilkes Booth, pushed hurriedly on through tbe passage leading irom the Senate chamber to tlie rotunda, aud iu ail excited and deter mined manner broke through tlie Hue of of policemen, which kept tbe crowd back trom the procession and made a des perate atteuipt to reach tlie eastern door of the capitol. He wai discovered by a member of tlie capitol police who seized the excited stranger, aud after a severe struggle succeeded in forcing him back in to Uk) crowd. Booth had already been noticed by at leat two persons who knew film, and saw him pass hurriedly from the direction ot tlie Senate chamber toward tlie rotunda, and some idea ot his deter mination to roach the inaugural may be formed from the fact that he broke away from the man who first seized him, aud but tor tlw closing of the side door would probably have accomplished his purpose, whatever it was. Those who stopped Booth, aud who, in all probability pre served the President's lite, were not aware who tlie excited stranger was. but tlie im portaixm -of their action can hardly be overestimated. Tlie man whe stopped Booth Is named Westfall and was made commissioner of public buildings and grounds, and was recently dicbarged by me House. Mexican HvhaM-ra Pirimrlug for a Rnid.

The grain trade remains dull, and only thoe markets where deliveries are scanty are firm. English wheat at the leading exchanges is steady, but toreign is about a shilling per quarter loner. Barley and oats at pro vincial markets meet with fair de mand. Prices are generally maintained. Maize, buaus and pens either neglected or purchased scantily at six pence to a shil ling per quarter decline. The mouth of May will not hick a lair supply of for eign grain, if the ships due arrive punctu ally. Nearly 600,000 quarters of wheat, 20.000 quarters ol maize, and 500,000 quarters ol barley, are expected. Nine teen ships are due within the week trom the Black Sea, Sea of Aat ind the Dan ula?.

New Yokk, April 20. The tribunal selected by the committee ot the Bar As sociation to Investigate the charges against Charles O'Conor, in connection with the Forrest divorce case, tnet to-day. Ex Governor John A. Dix presided. After the fecretary had read the citation served upon the proprietors ol the Times and Sun, but to which they dill not respond, to appear and substantiate the charges published, O'Connor presented a letter from Mrs. Sinclair last evening, in which she states that she now, as well asalways, bore the same feeling of gratitude to Mr. O'Conor, and reiterated her assertion that the article published in the Times was published without her consent, against her wish, and after a solemn promise had been given that k should not be. Mrs. Sinclair also says that she never made any charges against Mr. O'Conor, and had no iiiteutio'i of doing so ; therelore, she did not Intend to avail herself of the right to appear before ttie tribunal, as she did not regard herself as in any sense a party to the unpleasaut controversy intruded upou the public . ' Henry Sodley, the brother-in-law of Mrs. Sinclair, read a protest against the composition of the committee, in whose organization he claimed only one of the parties to the controversy lias' had a voice, and whose decision, whatever it may be, must consequear'y liek tlie moral author ity which can -.tisfsctorily dispose of tbe disputed guilts, and says that before a tribunal so constituted that It sht.ll repre sent both sides and shall tumlsh guaran tees that it cannot be fuspected of affilia tion witli either. 1 shall be nady at any time to appear an. contribute what I rightly can to tlie evidence on which an impartial judgment must necessarily be founded. " O'Conor replied that he did not intend to notice Sedley s protest; but came prepared to verity each and every statenn ut con tained In his memorial, ami that probably he and Mrs. Sinclair kiiew most about the litigation. He also stated that the whole matter should be sifted to tlie bottom. He stated that the whole amount obtained trom Mrs. Sinclair fot I9years profession al services was f 1 4,000. Chief Justice Daly testified that at the conclusion of the Forrest case he was waited upon by a number of ladies, who requested him to present a silver vase to O'Conor, thanking and complimenting him on the able manner iu which he had conducted the cae. O'Conor here stated that the silver vase was near at hand, and if the court decided he would produce it, chop It up and give it to the poor, if tie had done a dishonora ble action in receiving it. O'Conor then gave a general and explicit denial of the charges against him, enumerating all the letters received by him from various par ties concerned iu the case, and also all bills lor money received by him fur his services during the 20 year lie was con nected Its the case with Mrs. Forrest, aud handed to the chair ail the papers con nected with the case, or greater part there of, aud left the matter Iu their hands to abide by their decision.

Illdeu'a Fionprcta for Ibe Prealdenry. New Yor.K, April 29 -Tilden's pros pects lor the Democratic Presidential nom ination are considerably Improved by the action ol the New York State convention. The ripple of factious opposition amounts to nothing as affecting the decision at St. Louis. Tildeu is clearly the choice of his party here, and it nominated at the na tional convention will get tlie entire party vote of the State. Jn this reqiect hi case Is the reverse of Conkling's, whose nomi nation would divide and not m.ite the Re publicans. Bayard says he cannot expect much from New York, when it has Tildeu to offer, whom he regards as a man of un questionable ability and believes hiin to be so regarded tiy the country. Various journals iu the South heretofore hostile, now aduiit that though 't ildeu Is not their first choice, he Is 1110.-1 a vailuble candidate.
