6epts of the wing nomination.
80 is still open. The wing candidate is
10 be chosen.
OF all men in the wing party, we regard Mr..
CLAY as most likely to be the choice of the whig
party for the next presidency. Now that Cen.
Taylor is probably out of the question with that
party, no man occupies SO prominent position
as Mr.. Clay. Old as he is, he is the strongest
maR in the party. He is painfully identified
with the war-an important requisite for sue
cess in the struggle foFthe next Presidency. He
can call oat the ~Iwhig strength better than any
other man n the country. And what is more
important than all, he has now enlisted in his
behalf a larger portion of the party than perhaps
all the other candidates in the aggregate. His
friends are already working with the greatest
energy. If he were with the north on the Will
mot proviso question, his success would be
beyond problem. In politics there are transmu-
tations as strange those performed by the
wand of the necromancer. Already Mr.. Clay's
friends are actively employed IN paying court to
some OF the prominent members of the old Van
Buren, faction, and not altogether without hopes
of success. The wings are Justly elated with
the result of the late elections; for, with all the
odds against them, they have beaten their oppo-
nents handsomely. Should. the war drag its
slow length along until November lS4s, there is
every probability of their success.
But they must discard some of the WORKOUT
watch-words of party. They must not adhere
to the threadbare policy which worked their de-
feat in 1874 The next twelve months will test
sufficiently the operation of the present tariff and
sub-rreasury laws. Should they prove success
full any attempt at alteration will be fatal to the
prospects of the wings. Let them be sound on
these questions--let them advocate liberal COM
promise of the slavery queston-let them aban-
don their unwise and unpatriotic opposition to
the war--and victory may yet crown their aspi-
ratons.

DISTURBANCE IN THE HARBoR.-The British
brig Mary, Capt Wyman, from Cork, arrived
at this port 18th inst, with forty-six stecrage
passengers. The city authorities would not
suffer them to be landed, owing to their dcsti-
tute condition, unless the master gave bonds
that they should not become burihen TO the
city. This he was unable or unwilling TO do,
and came to the conclusion that he must take
them to Halifax, for which port he accordingly
cleared on Saturday. The passengers were
naturally much exaspcrated at the turn mat
ters were taking, and when the pilot ordered
the crew to weigh anchor, the passengers took
possession of the handspikes and windass, and
assaulted Capt Wyman, who called to his as
sistance Capt. Josiah Sturgis, of the revenue
cutter Hamilton who went on board with six
men, and attempted, in his usually judicious
and dspassl onatc manner, TO restore order, and
directed his men to man the wndlass.
The passengers crowded forward, obstruct-
| ing the operation IN various ways, and while
Capt. s stood upon the windlass encouraging
his men, one Of the passengers, who appeared
to take the lead, got upon the windlass and col
Jared the gallant captain, attempting to remove
him. But Capt Sturgis instantly thew him
several feet from him, prostrate upon the deck,
and made signal for a reinforcement from the
Hamilton, when another boats crew, armed
with cutlasses, came on board. Capt. Sturgs
ordered the women and children to go aft, and
the men to fall back from the wndlass, which
they did. lie then got the brig under weigh,
and accompanied her some distance, leaving her
with fair aud fresh breeze.
The resistance of the unfortunate passengers
II not to be wondered at when it IL considered
That they were not landed at the termination OF
The voyage, but forced To 90 IN an entirely dit
iercnt direction from what they contemplated
Yet the laws must be enforced, however painful
the duty may be TO the officers.

New Premium SAFETY LAMP,
Patented January 1911, 1917.

VNIIIS new Premium Safety Lamp, for bnrn-
Il ing Phosgene Gas, is confidently believed
TO be superior to any now in use Its light is
produced by the burning Of M aeriiorm Gas
which rushes in beautiful Jets, through small
pcrforations in Platina. The Gas is generated,
as il is used, by the heat ofits own combustion,
constantly acting upon liquid in the Lamp -
Thus il is a portable and convenient apparatus
TOR creating and burning an aeriform Gas. Its
construction is such that, while exceedingly
beautiful, both in appearance and performance,
all possibility Of accident from It's use is cntirc'y
rcm0rcd. From its extreme simplicity il is
sure to keep in order, and though its light is
the most brilliant and illuminating, yet soft; it
coats less than any other artificial kind. II re-
quircs no cleaning, trimming, shade or glass
as do the Solar and Camphcne Lamps, burns
entirely free from any smoke or odour, and e.
mits but little heat II is admirably adapted to
all places where rood light is required, especial
ly TO Public buildings, Halls, Hotels &c, and
is from the soothing quality of its light of es-
scntial advantage to Students, Scamstresscs,
and Artzans generally. The opinion of the
scientific may be learned from the fact that the
American Institute at their last FAR, awarded
TO these Lamps the First Premium over every
other kind. The curious as well as lovers of
economy and convenience, are invited to cX-
anime these Lamps at 100 Thames street,
where both Lamps and Fluid are for sale by
