London, April 24. - Counsel for Oscar Wilde made application in the Old Bailey Court this morning for a postponement of his client's trial. Taylor's counsel, however, desired to proceed, and the prosecuting lawyer argued in opposition of the postponement, saying that Wilde had had ample opportunity to prepare for trial. The Court refused to grant a postponement and fixed Friday as the day for trial.

The sale of Oscar Wilde's effects by auction, on the order of the Sheriff, is regarded as indicating that his pecuniary means are exhausted.
