The News.
OF the vast amount Of highly interesting Hforma-
ton with which pages are again crowded to-day,
that which will probably attract the greatest atfen
tion is the narrative relative to the Presidents trip
to this city, which embraces the speeches made by
His Excellency and the distinguished gentlemen
forming his suite, from the time Of their arrival in
Baltimore, Monday afternoon, until they retired to
their hotel in Philadelphia last evening The feeling
of the people along the line of route from Baltimore
to Philadelphia, particularly at Wilmington, is des
cribed as having been not only enthusiastic, but
highly fiattering to him who was last year called
upon by such an overwhelming vote to preside over
The destinies OF the nation. Read the account.
Great excitement again pervaded the halls of le-
gislation at Albany yesterday. The Assemblymen
discovering that they had been little too fast to
answer the purposes Of majority OF their members
in passing the resolution to adjourn today requested
that the resolution be returned without concurrence
The Senate in the meantime, had Withdrawn is con-
currence, and ordered, by vote Of seventeen to
thirteen, the resolution to be tabled. To show how
parties Stood it is proper TO state that eleven demo
erats and six wings voted to prolong the session. and
three democrats and ten wings to adjourn to-day.

Strong but unavailing efforts were made in the
ecutve session Of the Senate to compel the members
from the First Judicial District to report the ap
pointments for New York Harbor Masters. After
short but exciting debate and the taking of two
three votes gislative business resumed without
q single appointing mt Of any kind having been
firmed. Much time was spent upon the bill making
appropriations for the enlargement and repsraton
of the canals, and several material alterations were
made. Nearly the whole day was occupied by the
Assembly upon matters connected with the coming
impeachment trial. Among other things, it was
solved that committee Of seven managers should
be appointed to prosecute the Mather case and also
that the House must be in session during the trial
On the other hand tue Senate unanimously declared
that il was wholly unnecessary for the Assembly 10
remain in session while the trial is progressing. A
bill was introduced and read twice, in the Assem-.
bly, relative to the prosecution Of impeachment trials
1t occa stoned very spirited controversy will be
seen by the report.
