THE MISSION OF LORD ELGIN-HIs DEPARTURE FOR
CANADA-THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH SPAIN.
WASHINGTON, June 8, 1854.
Lord Egin left town this morning, Mr. Hincks having
preceded him. 1t is understood that prcd has been
drawn up, subject to tho approval Of the Provincial
authorities the hand and the Senate of course,
the other by which the fishery and reciprocity ques
tions settled England has got pretty much ali she
demanded except the provision providing that colonial
built vessels shall be entitled to American registers 1t
remains to be whether the Senate will confirm 30
onesided treaty. The general impression is that it will
be cut up than the Gadsden convention
There Ia here that Mr.. Marcy and Mr.. Buchan
about changing places. We doubt it, notwith-
standing Mr.. Buchanans confidence in Mr. Forney and
the wish Of the latter to have his patron in the Cabinet
That Mr. Marcy desirous of getting out of Cabinet
where he has lost all influence and is treated with
sort Of respect, is well known.
No here believes the report that Spain is willing to
sen Cuba. AS far back the admins traton of Mr.
Polk Spain offered hundred million dollars for
Cuba and would not listen to the proposition As long
the Cortez exists there is little probability that Spain
win listen to any such proposition.

EFrIGIEs IN WORCESTER, MAss.-Four cfigics
were discovered suspended upon the common, in
Worcester, on the 4th inst. They were severally
labelled "Pontius PLATE Loring, the unjust judge
"Ben. Hallett, the kdnapper, "Caleb Cushing, the
bloodhound" and Frank Pierce, Satan's journey
man." The SPY describes them thus:--
Mr.. CushiDg's eye appeared to be as badly dam
aged as was his leg in the ditch at Matamoras The
mask had fallen from Loring's face, and displayed
him as the hollow hearted sycophant that he Is.
"Forma piris Il prgferea niha," the form Of a
man, and nothing else. Halletts spectacIes had
dropped from his nose, but his countenance wore
the usual fendish expression which characterizes
the man. Frank Pierce appeared 70 have taken o
drop too much, and VIC should Judge that the cir.
cumstances under which he then was would compel
him to forego his usual practice Of attending church
twice on the Sabbath.

Z. S. COMMISSIONER OPPOSED TO THE RENDITION
OF FUGITIVE SLAvEs.-A gentleman from Carroll
county, KY, accompanied by some friends from this
city, went to Columbus Thursday for the purpose
Of recovering fugitive slave, whom he had reason
to suppose had fled to that locality The parties ap
piled to Mr.. Commissioner Wilcox to make their
affidavit and obtain writ for the arrest of the fugi-
tive. The Commissioner hesitated, and said that
this was the first application of the kind made to
him, and finally announced his determination to re-
sign his Office rather than perform that which by
law he was required to do. Upon further parey, he
shuffled out of this position on the plea that the
affidavit must be drawn up by on attorney and not
by the Commissioner. The affidavit was according
ly 50 made and the parties returnedt to Mr. Wilccxs
Office, only to find the door locked and the incumbent
absent. They proceeded to his house in all haste,
but 10! that nest, too, was empty. Here they were
informed that Mr.. Commissioner had just mounted
hcre, and without giving any intimation of his des
tination, had taken John Gilpin fight from the
city. Disgusted and disheartened, the gentleman
returned to Kentucky, doubtless impressed very
vivdly with the fidelity and manliness of Ohio
officials Cincinnati Enquirer, June 4.
