The delegates from New York TO the Wing
Convention gave unmistakeable evidences OF tneir
preference for Mr.. Clay yesterday, having effected
a spontaneous gathering in Independence Square
for the purpose of giving vent to their feelings.
They used strong language IN presenting the
claims of Mr. Clay, and opposing those OF General
TAYLOR; but as the audience was composed princi-
pally OF the partlzans of Rough and Ready, they
were every and then interrupted by express
sions OF dissent The report s that the language
made of by them on this occasion has had the
effect Of altering the opinions Of several delegates
who previously intended 10 cast their votes for
Clay. The platform used this occasion had
been put up for the Taylor meeting, TO be held this
evening, and our Jimmy OWENS" the proprietor
OF the platform, forced them TO pay for using 1t be-
fore the speeches began. The greatest Joke was,
that on the front of the staging, immediately below
the speakers, posted a large pacard with the
words Taylor men never surrender" prominent
ly printed, staring the audience In the lace though
unperceved by the speakers.
Chestnut street has been taken possession OF by
the politicians to-day, and knots of these disln-
terested individuals gathered together dis
cussing the probable chances of Taylor, Clay, and
Scott. Il is said that caucus of the Taylortes
was held last evening, at the residence OF Josiah
Randall, Esq, and that II was there ascertained,
that the second ballot they could poll 10 votes,
and the chances were that he would succeed on
the first ballot The Clay men now report, that
Scott will stand better chance than Taylor, and
bets have been made to this effect.
The saloon of the museum has been chosen for
the slttings of the Convention, and Is admirably
calculated for the purpose, with the exception OF
not aftordlng the spectators a good view OF the
assemblage.. The galleries would hold couple of
thousands of lockers on, but, being perfectly level,
only those that have the front seats can expect to
see much. The platform for the officers is on the
north side, and about the centre of the room; on
all sides of arranged the tables for the report
ers, at which l perceive your corps OF reporters
have had prominent seats assigned them. The seats
tor the delegates ranged semiclrcularly around
passages. Four large rooms on the same foor have
been arranged for the committees to retire, and
consult upon the matters given them to consider.
A Committee of the democracy proceeded to
Wilmington this morning, In the steamboat Wave,
for the purpose Of bringing General Cass to the
city, and he is expected to arrive about four
o'clock. ..-
An adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the
Bank of the United States held to-day, at which
series of resolutions were adopted. The first de-
cares that IL is expedient to bring to speedy close
the trusts created by the three several deeds of
the opinion that the trust estate would bring higher
