We never knew, we do not remember to have
read or to have heard, of a gentleman 80 exceed
ipply troubled in his senility as Mr.. President
Buchanan. Various other old gentlemen going to
the Springs or returning from the Springs have ex'
perienced domestic vicissitudes, and have been
tormented by the elopement, under hagtious cir
cumstances, of their wives or Of their daughters.
Against these the President was safe, for the rea-
son that he had no wife, and no daughter, 60 that
he departed from the seat of his tolls, his trials and
his trlbulatons, for the sanitary ebulitions Of Bed
ford, under far happier auspices than those which
accompanied the eminent Mathew Bramble when
he undertook his celebrated journey to Bath.
Alas the troubles of old gentlemen are chronic,
and whithersoever they may go and wheresover
they may abide, the wing Of some Fate still waves
over them, and all is r1w.de-dow and wretched-
ness. As be rode to the Pennsylvania Sloan,

from which we gather many Of these detals)
kindly suggests, she was immense in things geuer

With the scanty materials before us, it would DO

the present year, while its table of the declared
values Of the imports embraces only the five months
ending May 81. On comparing the corresponding
periods of lc5o aad 1859, it will be found that
with some small exceptions not worth mentioning,
the British imports from the United States had
generally decreased, in value at least, while the
British exports to this country were increasing
in quantity as Well a. in value To illustrate this
fact, We have extracted the following tabular state
