We incidentally mentioned yesterday our opinion that Lord Elgin’s visit here was not conrected with our rela- tions with Spain in any way. To-day we are enabled to state that this opinion is confirmed. He comes here solely with reference to the conclusion of a treaty ar- ranging the northeastern fishery question, and if poasi- Ble to aid in effecting reciprocal trade between the Rri- tieh Colonies and the United States, by treaty. Mr. Chan- dler, a commissioner from New Brunswick, accompanies him, as does also Mr. Hincks, the head of the Canadian cabinet. We doubt very much if Lord Elgin will be able to effect the reciprocity arrangement. It has been press. ed with great ability by Mr. Crampton, the British mia- ister, and Lord Figin can bring no new arguments to bear upon the subject. The Executive is of opinion that in a matter which might so materially affect our revenue, and which would work considerable change in our tariff regulations, it is advisable the legislative branch of the government should be consulted. He is, therefore, disposed to leave the subject of reciprocal trade with Congress, rather than to avoid the action of the House ot Representatifes by calling in the aid of the treaty- making power alone. ‘This was also Mr. Fillmore’s view of the case; and it is scarcely probable a democratic administration will be found desirous of avoiding legislative action, when a whig administration hesitated in doing eo. Wethink there would be no difficulty in passing» proper bilPfor reciprocal trade with the British North American colonies. It is supposed that the South would object to it; but there is no data to base any such sup- position upon. Heretofore reciprocity bills have failed solely because of the bungling manter in which they were advocated Lord Elgin will probably remain here for a week or ten days. The opponents of the Nebraska bill take their defeat Pretty good-naturedly, It is supposed both houses will adjourn over in a few days, for the purpose of taking up carpets, etc. Nothing will therefore be done next week. SENATOR BROWN AND THE ADMINISTRATION—JUDGE DOUGLAS TO BE DENOUNCED, ETC. The Union this morning attacks Senator Brown, of a--t.siwni. for is speech against the insane voto mes. mage. It ie well eudetstogs seu tee oe eee Aminiztration Dave gladly ayailod themselves of this opportunity Yo attack Governor Brown, who had rendered himself ob- noxious to the Secretary of War by refusing, after re ceiving the democratic nomination for Senator, to be bought off by the Havana consulate so as to inake room for Jefferson Davis, Governor Brown, asa high minded man, spurned with contempt the offer to bribe him, and hence the bitterness of the organ’s attack. Now that the Nebraska bill has yassed, it is said that Judge Douglas is to be denounced by the administration presses so 28 to try and detract from his position as the sole author of that message. It will be futile. All the administration did was to permit themselves reluctantly to bedriven into its support. To Judge Douglas belongs all the credit. . APPOINTMENT OF A CHARGE TO BUENOS AYRES—AR- RIVAL OF A MESSENGER FROM MADRID, ETC. The Senate have confirmed James A. Teden as Charge d’Affaires to Buenos Ayres, vice William H. Bissell, de- clined; and William H. Davis as Secretary of New Mexico, vice William Messervy, resigned.

Wasutyeroy, May 23, 1854. ‘THE RESOLUTIONS FROM THK CONNROTIGUI LEGISLATURE AGAINST THE NEBRASKA BILL. Mr. Tovey, (dem ) of Conn., said that yesterday his colleague presented certain resotutions of the Legislature of Connecticut, which he regretted were presented in his absence. By the debate which sprung up on the resolu- tions, he perceived that his colleague had fallen into an s he naturaliy would, in speaking of the action and sentiments of the democratic party. His colleague was not very intimate with the wishes and sentiments of thet portion of his constituents. His colleague had erred in saying that these resolutions had received the support of the democratic members of the Legisla- ture. Not one-fourth of the democratic members voted for the resolutions. Of those democrats who voted for or cgainst the resolutions more than two-thirds voted against them, Ile was well acquainted with the demo- cratic members, an’ the people whom they represented. Thoy are firm friends of the Union, and ‘no resolutions exabracing tie sentiments that these do will reccive their support. Now and atall times the people of Connecticut strenuously oppose the course indicated in some of these resolutions. XAYAL DRY DOCKS.

Further, we ‘ook sworn, said—I am employed in the gor yetinery spoken of; on Iast Friday, about 2 jock in the afternoon, the deceased was in the act of scraping the floor in the third story with a shovel: the yalkiog beam of the machinery below is in this story: Ceceased was walking backward at the time; he walked up to the walking beasa in question; the key of the beam struck him on the back; L,was working at cleaning up the floor with the deconsed at the time of the accident; there were four other ~orkmen on the same floor at the time; os soon as I fv Ceceaset knocked down I ran to ssistance: he s ‘ched out once or twice, and after this seemed insensible; he was immediately sent to the New York Horpital. Dr. Derby, of the Hospital, said—I attended the de- ceased; he was laboring under severe injuries of the pelyis; this was followed by peritonicis, and hedied about 9 6 clock last evening; the post inortem examination showed that the bones of the pelvis were fractured in two or three places Burton Thomas sworn, said that the walking beam in question projects into the third story, and is about three feet above the level of the floor; there ts no railing around it to preveut persons coming in contact with it: we sometimes run the machinery by nigut; the place is lighted with gas.
