Maryland WING Convention.
Correspondence OF The Tribune.

BALTIMORE, THURSDAY, = a. d.
The Wing Convention of Maryland met yester-
day in this city The representation was very io'l
from the counties, and | never saw more anileu
feeling in any assembly. The Delegates were
among the very best men in the State, whom
nothing bur the important crisis that has now &C.
Cured in OUT public affairs, and the Importance Oh
having true man at the head OF Government 10
save US from the disasters which treachery has
brought upon the country, could have called from
their homes.
The Hon. WILLIAM PRICE, of Washington
City, was appointed President OF the Convention
assisted by three Vice Presidents and two Sccrs-
taries.
After the regular organization Gesrga Howard
of Ann Arundel, formerly Governor of this State,
rose, and making some appropriate preliminary re-
marks. nominated HENRY CLAY OF KY as candl-
date for President of the United States. The
nomination called forth loud applause from the
Assembly, and was unanimously adopted by the
Convention.
A proposition was now sub mitted that the Con-
vention make nomination for Vice PRESIDENT
On this motion there came an earnest and inter-
esting debate. And at length 1t was decided to
Law the subject on the ,able-the Committee thus
determining to make no nomination. 1he Com
rltee was divided between Gov. JOHN DAVIS of
Mass and Senator TALLMADGE of New FORK, but
which had majority is not known, as no vote
was taken We in Maryland will hereafter adopt
the candidate that may have the voice ofa majority
of the States, or We will meet our brethren in
general convention to settle the conflicting claims
Of candidates.
GREAT STORM AND FLooD.-A northeast storm
set in last evening which ragged with dreadful vio-
Ience for many hours. The wind blew hurricane
and the rain fell in torrents. The shipping in the
harbor must have suffered injury, end whatever
vessels that were in the bay exposed to the fury OF
the storm, must have had frightful time of il
The course of the wind and the immense quantity
of water there fell caused the tide to rise high in
our q basin''-as the harbor is caled-fooding the
wharves along Pratt-street and up the streets that
rise from it up as far as Lombard or Waterr-sts.
The stores along Pratt-strcet are flooded several
feet, as are also the stores along Calvert, Cheap
side and other streets. OF course very considera-
bic damage was done to the goods in the stores.
Jones's Falls is also flooded, and along by the cen,
tire market you could almost swim horse The
railroad along Pratt-street covered with several
feet of water md it may be that the tide will not
fall in time to allow the train of cars to depart for
Philadelphia, carrying the mail in which is TO &c
this letter.
No Western Mail was received this morning,
which leads me to fear some injury may have
been suffered by the railroad or the bridges over
it by the Ohio.
The MARKET.-Flour has given way further
and sales were made yesterday Of Howard street
at 81 874 Susquehanna at the same rate. City
Mills is firm at S.. Pennsylvania best red Wheats
