STATE OF OUR FOREIGN TRADE.-The i'm
ports at New York for the last week were
over six millions, according to custom-house
valuation, and according TO the usual re-
suits of our beautiful system of foreign val.
uation, probably cost eight millions. Up
to April 9th, the merchandise entered at the
port of New York since January lst was
invoiced at sixty-fve millions Of dollars.
The exports for the same time were less
than fifteen millions. The imports thus far
in the present year have exceeded those of
any former year, while the exports are ac-
tually less than those of the corresponding
time in 1857 or 1853 This state of trade
can only result in heavy shipments of specie.
The Persia last week took out 81, zoo, 900,
which is but the beginning, if this state of
things continue. Business men whose bust
ness liabilities extend far into the future,
should take note of this state of affairs, and
the probable course of events that may re-
suit from it,

DEMOCRACY AND Mr.. BUcHASAS.-The or
gan of the State Rights Democracy in Phil
adelphia says:
Mr.. Buchanan has ceased to have any
claims upon the party he has betrayed. Any
endorsement OF his policy is death to those
who attempt it. His practices have ignored
and violated all his professions, and he has be-
come as odious to the masses Of the people as
ever John Tyler was in by-gone days. Even
his offices begin to fail to tempt the MERGE
nary, and those who accept them do so in Sc
cret, as men do who take brides. To cut
loose from such an incubus is not only the
prompting of an honest impulse, but of self
preservation. We refuse to be crushed by its
weight. The past is full of admonitions. Let
the dependents of power take what course
they choose, there is compact and sinewy
body of Democrats in this State who will
contend against the prescription and treach-
cry Ct the Administration, without ceasing,
to the end.

SERVED HIM Rio Hr.-A canal street bro
ker in New York was recently victimized
in way that should serve him for lesson
in future. He purchased five thousand dol

of the holder that it had been stolen, and
paid eight hundred more to sham police
officer, who pretended TO arrest him rs re-

A CHIEF JUSTICE IN WHITE Gloves
Chief Justice Robinson opened court at To-
ronto last Monday, and said to the Grand
Jury, that it gave him great pleasure to an
nounce that instead Of the usual calendar OF
criminal indictments, the sheriff had that
morning presented him with pair of white
gloves, signifying, according to an old En-
glish custom, that there were no prisoners
TO be brought before the present Assizes.
His Lordship further said that he did not
recollect an occasion on which it was his
pleasing duty to receive a pair of white
gloves instead Of the usual indictments,
since the year lS08--now fifty-one years
ago. He would, therefore, set proportion
ate value upon the gift, and prize the gloves
as the emblem, be hoped, of new and i'm
proved state of society.

Dry Fathers Dsyman and Des Camps,
the two priests interdicted by Bishop
Hughes of New York, from officiating in
their holy Offices, continue TO minister to
large congregations who adhere to and sup
port them. The New York Express says:
The contest between the Archbishop aud
the two reverend fathers, on whom he has
laid an awful interdict, is one of kind
that is not going to be hushed up if nm
inference is To be drawn from the report
elsewhere Of mn extraordinary scene that
took place at the Oratory o. Fathers Day.
man and Des Camps yesterday. That the
fathers are carrying along with them the
heartfelt sympathy of the Catholic Party,
there would now seem to be no reason TO
doubt The interdict has turned out TO be
only brutum tuimen The priests perform
acts for which they stand formally accused
by His Lordship; and, as the party who as
sist AT and give countenance to those acts,
are particeps eriminis, we see how much re-
spect is paid on either side TO the Archepis-
copal anathemas.
II these rebellious clergymen were in
Italy, or in Spain, or in Austria, the "ora-
tory would be dungeon, while their
manly Independence In daring to serve God
rather than man-though that man be an
Archbishop-wouldm make them outcasts and
outlaws if they ever got out of that dun

interdict can no more produce its intended
effect here, in the free air of America, than
a light can burn in the poisonous atmosphere

g<S" A shocking affair occurred in Wash
ington county, Miss, few days ago. Two
brothers named William and Robert Buford,
were living together. William had a very
pretty wife, with whom the younger brother,
Robert, became madly infatuated. A GRIM
inal intercourse between the two had been
carried on for some time, but growing weary
of the restraint imposed by the presence OF
the injured husband, the younger brother
determined to add to his other crime that of
fratricide.
On Wednesday evening OF last week the
outraged husband andbro:her was murdered
and on the Sunday following Robert Buford,
the double murderer, committed suicide by
taking strychnine. The misguided wife OF
the murdered man, with two children, are
left the sole memorial of this chapter of hor-
rorS.

Boulder Paving.

A. the subject OF paving our streets is be-
fore the citizens and the Common Council
discussions of the question and the meas
ures adopted in other cities are topics of
interest here. The Council of Louisville
propose AN Issue of 100000 of the city
bonds, to he expended in bouldering the
streets of that city. The sum seems an ex-
travagant one, large enough, one would
think, to pave every street in the city
Those citizens who have seen and felt the
benefits arising from the boulder pavement
where il has beea in use many years, are
strongly in favor of the measure, and are
ready to increase the heavy expenses rather
than to adopt any of the other modes of
making durable surface for the streets
The experiment of bordering Main street
in Louisville has convinced every one Of its
great superiority; it has not, in the six years
it has been in use, caused one hundredth
part of the expense for repairs, which The
old mode OF paving cost, while IL was in use.
Boulder pavement is declared, by theeitiEens
of Louisville, when well put down, TO be de-
ededly the best pavement in use. Public
opinion both in Cincinnati and Louisville
appears to be quite unanimous in its favor.
We would suggest, rs Louisville proposes
10 90 so largely into the business that she
may monopolize the supply of boulders-
which are not abundant-or SO raise the
price, by large demands, as to place them
beyond our reach. If Main street IS to be
bOuldered, would u rot be well TO move in
the matter at once, and secure the rock for
it, before they become scarce and high 2 e.
