The Democratic Convention : Fourth District for

poster Fatal Aceident-7he Markets. &c.
BALTiMoaE, March 23--5 .. m.
The delegates elected from the first fifteen wards
ofthe city, composing the fourth Cong dis
trct to elect delegate to the National Democratic
Convention, assembled last night, when Colonel
Jacob G. Davies was elected, by vote Of sixty to
twelve, as the delegate from this district Reso-
lutions expressing the preference of the conven-
ton for General Cass. and instructing Colonel
Davies to vote for him in preference to all Others
and to adhere TO him as long as there should be
any prospect Of his nomination. were adopted by a
vote of forty-eight ayes to thirteen noes. Colonel
Davies subsequently, addressed the convention, and
said that he had always been, and was now, a Cass
man; if they could not get him whom they first
preferred, it would be his effort to get the best
man who could unite the whole Democratic party
in his support
The convention was most egregiously hoaxed.
after the nomination was made, by wag intro
ducing to the president OF the convention the bar
keeper Of Little's tavern, as the representa- tive
from the first district Of Pennsylvania. He
mounted the rostrum and addressed the conven-
ton at considerable length, declaring that Blu
chanan the first choice of his district, but that
they would go for Cass the second choice. The
joke not discovered until after the convention
adjourned.
The Rev. John Wesley Green, who was yester-
day carried back to Philadelphia to answer the
charge Of defrauding number Of persons in that
city, and obtaining money under the pretcnce that
he was agent Of the Post Office Department,
had, during his two weeks stay in this city, ap
peared in the sacred desk several times, and ex-
pounded moral and spiritual laws with as much
zeal and apparent sincerity if his heart was free
from guile On Sunday week he preached at the
Woodbury. Chapel, and in the evening lectured to
an attentive congregation at the Light Street
Methodist Episcopal Church He was detained in
this city by the confinement of bis wife, who il
still, with her three children, at Barnum's Hotel
and, bearing an exemplary character, has called
forth the exercise Of much Christian benevoence
both by our citizens and the estimable proprietor
and his family.
A little daughter of Mrs. G. jones' residing
near the city, died yesterday from drinking some
corrosive subimate from bottle which it found in
q closet.
In the Baltimore market this morning there were
sales of Howard street -four to the amount of 400
barrels at - 81 06t, and sales of 700 barrels
city mills at 50. Sales Of red wheat at 80 81
cents, and white at 95 100 cents. Sales Of white
