As it was now five o'clock in the afternoon, and too late to proceed nviih the case, it was stated by Judge 'Humphreys that, owing to his duties an court, lie. could not hear it until Wednesday. Mj, Richbourg asked that the hearing he postponed until Thursday; so as to allow tithe for the arrival of the Attorney-General of •South Carolina. To tins, the Judge •could not accede, owing to the press ure of other business on that day and Kite remainder of the week The RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE •was a postponement until the 17th iirat, or two days after -the meeting ■of the extra session of Congress. Senator Patte-son gave bail for his appearance at that time in the sum of $2,509, Avery G Kimball, becoming his surety. The case having beep postponed to the time stated, ii will afford the Senate an opportunity, to discuss the rights of one of its moms bers and decide whether or not he is privileged from arrest under the pro tective clause of the Coiistilutiun of .the United Statts. to report about the Speakership race- today. The members arrive slowly, and it will be the middle of next week before any very accurate estimate can be arrived at concerning the strength of any of the candidates.” The Star also has the following ditty of other days: “ Colonel Lewis Porter* assistant postmaster of Wash ington City, has been removed—or rather, lie has resigned, in accordance •with an intinvition that such action would.be acceptable to the authori ties. It appears that certain testi mony adduced before a committee of the 42d Congress reflected upon, certain business operations of Col. Porter iit connection with ex Gover nor-Bullock , of Georgia. J udge Key invited the attention of Judge Ed munds to the record, and Edntnnds requested Porter to step down and out, and he did.

All sorts of tricks afid devices are resorted to by the adroit schemers, but it was reserved for a Cincinnati man to invent a little scheme by which even the most experienced of the tricksters were beautifully taken in. k A few evenings ago the assemblage was unusually large, several Detroit ers being among thS. number.

The water was rising in the forecastle, and the deck- bands set to work to lighten tho boat. Overboard went cotton, flour, whisky and sugar until at least one- lialf of the cargo was in the sea—the other half was kept in to balance the boat. Thus the night wore away, and it was a night which the passen gers will not soon forget. destined to have a nice little hill to set tle. For one hour and tweiity minutes the hapless victims stood there, their forefin<?crs glued to the bar while to add to the discomfort p( the situation the condition was imposed (hat no man should drink or smoke while the result was pending. The situaiibii was be* coming very interesting, when another Cincinnati man rushed foget a cigar. He had some important correspondence to prepare for the early morning mail, and .was in a tremendous hurry. “ What’s hp.t”, he inquired, as he wit nesses! the strange spectacle before t .. ...o •‘Put your finger down,” said, the jo^ Aimoetm^^iy ha^ycd.

Montpehsier’s daughter, wliose Xiiberal conduct' in t866 could not he forgiven, and the Conservatives have been for months past canvassing the probabilities of a marriage with any other Princess in Europe no matter which one. They even had hopes that a match could be made with a German .or. an Enj Princess, “ not supposing,” says the London correspondent of the Daily News, “ for a moment that the daugh ters of the Protestant dynasties wot Id hesitate between their faith and the precarious prize offered to them.’’ The Thing’s youth and the reluctance of Senor del Castillo to allow him to marry till certain events without had accomplished themselves, were also constructed, with the known opposi tion of .the late Queen, as evidences that the match would not be made. In August public opinion was led to believe lhat*the return to Spain of the Duke of Montpensier and his family nroved beyond doubt* that no resis tance Would Shake the King’s determ- If was even noticed that directly after his return from Asturias and Gailicia the Montpensiers arrived and were treated with unusual honors. Senor Castillo returned to Spain from France, where it is understood that ’his observations did not tend to shake his convictions against an early mar riage,' and he foresaw that the ex. Queen had only come to the Escurial to tty in a personal interview what her influence could yet do to delay the final decision.^ fWh'en the interview did take place, the Ministers were observed to be most tlioughful, especi ally the Liberals, while the Queen’s friends were unusually elated. In the evening the visitors and politicians were amazed with the news that Queen Isabella would' not go to France but return to Seville. I Very soon it wm reported that the King would" stay three or*four days in the Escurial with her before she departed for the Alca zar. Then again came the intelligence that the court would return almost immediately from La Granja to Mad rid even before September 25, the date fixed to celebrate in La Granja the fete day of Princess Mercedes. This sudden change has ttaade the Modera- dos very exultant, all the mure so because they believe that the adjourn ment of the royhl marriage will simply pave the way to a reconstitution of tbeir party and the growth of their influence, until Martinez Campos can return from Havana to Be their leader itt the future Cortes. No less de lighted with this extraordinary change Me the friends of Bonapartism in Spain. They feel confident that the realization of the Montpensier alliance is now adjourned sine die, wlflch will w time for eyents'iri' Frnoce and intrigues. Maqy people even in the royal household are persuaded that the opposition of the ex-Quron and of |l.e Cabinet tnay. delay the realization of 'the King’s plans, but will not in t^e end prevent his carrying out his (jesire. Before the interview at the Escurial all classes of Spaniards had imagined that even the Chief Minister ouHgm James Halsteacname from one ofthe- New England States to this city. He brought a few hundred dollars with him, and for some weeks after his arrival went from office to office in search of employment. The only 'friend he tn&flti lltiru to whom hertutd h"* would now stand in the way of an alliance which every one looked upon as almost a certainty. Spanish Lib erals, though Dot very partial to the •Duke, would far have preferred his intervention in" State affairs because he is known , to be a Liberal in religi ous pad political policy, whereas the Queen Mother represents those revolu tionary currents which provoked the revolution of 1868. kny At’ iis Jaifory was in ofj negro laundress, who jyaa acquainted with f$fge of his peop^?, in the,, Bast. Halstead disappt ared!suddOqly, levy ing with tjiis woman a small trunk and a package of papers. Last week a lady called on this old laundress, who lives on Broadway, near the corner of Powell street, and said she was Halstead’s sister, and had been directed by him to call for the trunk and papers. Mrs. Williams handed over the trunk and the package, believing the lady’s representations to be true. Yesterday Halstead walked into the house, and greeting her in a friendly manner, stated that he had just returned from the Sandwitch Islands, where he bad been fortunate enough to make money. . Mrs. Wil liams told him that his sister had come to see. her, aud that she had turned over the trunk and papers to her. He appeared to be very much disturbed at this, telling Mrs. Wil liams that this woman, instead of being liis sister, was bis step-mother, and was the 'cause of his leaving the East. He then told her the following singular story, which she communi cated to the Mail reporter: His father was a wealthy merchant of Lowell, Mas8., .and when James left school he was given the position of head bookkeeper in his office. His mother had died when he was very yonrlg, and a distant relative of his took the place as 'housekeeper in his father’s establishment. She was young and attractive, and between .Panics Halstead Jmd hersqlf an at tachment sprung-up. The old gen tlemati did not : seem to regard this favorably, and finally sent bis 6on to another part of the State, to act there as agent of the firm. James corres ponded with- his sweetheart, and lonce Or twice visited her secretly in Lowell. Ahd now came a great sur prise. James Halstead received a letter from his father enclosing him several hundred dollars and making a terri ble chargfc, that lie had been uttering lorged checks, and bigniug liisfather’s n&me. The young man went indig nantly to inquire into this most un expected accusation and was con founded to find his h indwriting so closely imitated thstt he resolved to leave and wait for time to clear this mystery np. Since then he learned that his fiancee was the guilty party. After he came to California he re ceived a newspaper containing an account of his father’s marriage to this false and dishonest woman. All her letters he retained, scores of which were of a nature to fasten the suspicion of the forgery tipon hdl\ letters in which she implored him to return to her, stating that she had money enough for both, and that she waff willing to accompany him to any pait Of the globe. These letters she; had trav elled to California to obtain possession of. Halstead has taken the advice of a prominent lawyer cf this city oh the matter, and is going home io en deavor t r » vindicate his reputation, and expose the woman who has ruined him. G. 0.
