This convention met yesterday forenoon, at Calvert Hall. The spacious room was filled in all ha parts, nut only on the floor, but the platform, and a very ex cellent hand wits in attendance, which during the ses sion enlivencolthe necessary intervals of business with national airs and ether most eloquent music. At a quartcr before noon, Mr Delazon Smith, of Ohio, call ed the convention to order, and on his motion, alder man W m Shaler, of New York, was called to thochair, pro tern. Mr Stutter addressed the convention, stating the ob ject of the meeting. which was, on this day of the se cond Declaration of Independence. to do justice to John Tyler. Mr Baldwin, of New York, and Mr Rey nolds, of Michigan. were then nominated as secreta ries pro tem. Mr Reynolds addressed the chair; he was in favor of John Tyler, but not in favor of his im mediate nomination; he was understood to be in favor of waiting for the action of the other Democratic Con vention now sitting in another hall. There was a loud call for a new nomination in his stead, and after a spir ited speech by Mr Smith, of Ohio, in which he enfor cod the propriety of attending immediately to the bu ' Al riegg for which the convention assembled, a new nom ination was made, and Messrs Baldwin, of New York, and Whitehead, of Virginia, were nppointcd secreta riat pro tem.

Judge White, on taking the chair, thanked the con vention for the honor conferred upon him by the ap pointment, spoke in highly laudatm7 terms of the hon esty and Jeffersonian Democracy of John Tyler, and cl teed a very handsome and patriotic address by pro posing three cheers for John Tyler, which were given after the most hearty fashion.

Resolved, That the President, Vice President, and Captain, be a committee to remonstrate with the City Councils, against repairing, for the use of this compa ny, the Engine House, on Fourth street, recently dam aged by fire; inasmuch as its location will ever prevent ' it being occupied by us.

Resolved, That in the event of Councils refusing to accede to the above reasonable request of this com pany, the Captain is hereby instructed to withdiaw the lapparatus from service, except in cases where the 1 property of members (or citizens and corporations as have contributed to the support of the company) is endangered by fire.

M On Thursday evening, during an alarm of fire, the I lumane engine company were attacked. in Front at., near Green, by a mob, and the members driven from their apparatus. They were assailed with stones, and several were injured. The court of Oyer and Terminer was engaged all of yesterday in the trial of Farkin. the clock pedlar, who is charged with the murder of James Lemon, on the Bth of April last, by stabbing him in the hrrnst with a file. The testimony fur the prosecution was not con eluded at the adjournment, and the zase, which is high ly interesting, will be resumed this morning. It is reported that the Wilmington Railroad Com pany are about effecting a settlement with the suffer ers by the late disastrous accident which occurred on the road. below Havre de Grace and Baltimore. A man, named Reuben Walley, was committed to prisob by Alderman Heffner, yesterday, in default of bail to keep the peace for using language calculated to excite a riot, and threatening to burn the house of Pat rick Devlin. in Moysmensing. There is nothing so calculated to allay unreasonable excitement in the minds of fiery individuals as the prospect of a cell in Nloyamensing prison fora day or two. In the District Court of this city, yesterday. the jury in the case of Sarah Gregory, against Peter C. Dollman. rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff fur if-i.OOO. The plaintiff was a respectable young lady from Berko county, who came to this city some time ago to learn a trade. On her return home the defendant circulated some very indelicate and injtiri nos reports concerning her. which were proved to be as false as they were gross and wicked. No attempt was made to jristifv them, and the jury seem to have considered the enniiiict of the defendant such as called for the assessment of exemplary and vindictive dam ages. Unperralcited Barbarity.—At Hartford. Conn., on Mnnday last, Cyntha Roberts was brought before Jus tice Mann, on two complaints for assault and battery, on Sar dt Ann Runnel, a little girl about 7 or 8 years old, who was bound oat to service to Wm. J. Roberts, the husband , hf Cyntha„ by the selectmen of Farming ton. The girl testifies that the ends of her fingers had been dreadfully pinched with a pair of pinchers, taking off the nails, as a punishment, and her toes and fingers, which were exhibited to the court, show ed the very marks of the pinchers, as did also her tongue, which was much swollen and discolored.— Her body, front head to foot, exhibited marks of the whip in almost innumerable stripes, and wales as large as th 1 finger. The testimony was ample to prove the cruelty charged, and the court sentenced both the wife and husband on each of said complaints, to 30 days' imprisonment in the work house,and a fine of $7, and costs, and to stand imprisoned till paid. Seven years' imprisonment . would have been a more ade• quate punishment for such brutality. PATENT IMPROVED LEADEN PII'ES. 20, DOZ. Patent Leaden Pipes. an hand and for 11l sale low by C. VV.
