must confess have not been able either
to discover any meanng in the question III
your paper Of the 18th inst, or to understand
the principles on w','eh the solution is found
ed. Your correspondent ~ appears from
his solution to suppose that dollars multiplied
by dollars make dollars. Where he got this
from, will not pretend 70 say, but ~ the
same rule we could have cents multiplied BY
cents make cents; dimes by times make
dimes; and eagles by eagles make eagles;
Applying this to the present question we
have 500 cents multiplied BY 500 cents. re-
suit. $50 900 cents, or $500 dollars. 80 dimes
(or 500 cents multiplied BY 30 dimes, make
$500 dimes or $40 dollars. S dollars multi
piled by 5 dollars make 25 dollars We may
make as many dVeyent results as we please.
How then is it that the same question work
cd by the same rule should bring such va
rious answers. This rule must be false, for
truth is always consistent with itself. In
multiplication, the multipler denotes the
number of times the multiplicand is to be
en-, and must therefore be an abstract
number and neither cents, cow, or grind
stones. The product might be obtained IN q
more tedious manner, by putting down the
multiplieand tho number Of times indicated
by the multiplier, aud finding the result
But to talk of putting it down the number OF
times indicated by 500 cents, SO dimes, or s
i J,l,.,
Ms question is, if possible, more absurd
than the former one. for he requires us te
take the multiplicaud a number OF times in
dcated by long train Of dollars, dimes
cents, and mills. n understands his uwr
rule he certainly must be able to explain it
and also to inform me what is the result o.
500 wheelbarrows multiplied by 500 steam
engines. 7.

BURNING OF BIBLES.

Extract of letter from Italy, dated Sept. SO
1885,
"There have been two attempts to send Bibles
mere, (Naples,) one by the Rev. l.. w. (supPose
Lewis Way,) and the other by the means of an
English merchant. In both cases they were
discovered, and ordered to be burnt by the com
mon executoner. One parcel, however, was
saved by the interference Of the British Consul,
and sent to Malta, not without some twitchcs of
conscience in the archbishop and minister of po-
nee who thought it much more righteous to have
them destroyed

The Marquis de Lange, in his travels in
Spain thus describes the treasures of "Norct
dame du Pilier;''
erhe temples of Madrid are extremely mag
nificent the wainscots, the altars, and the vault
ed roofs, are resplendent with gold and silver; and
the treasures contained in the vestries would be
sufficient to build supetb town. After the
battle of Saragossa, Lord Stanhope, (who COM
manded the English) went to see the treasure
of Notre Dame of the Column. lie said on COM
ing cut from the Church, Ifthe treasures ofall
the s0vcreigns of Europe were collected togeth
er, they would not be worth the half of this r.
This treasure is, in fact, considered the richest
in the world. 1t contains four angels, OF silver,
whose wings arc Of gold, ornanented with stars
Of sapphire. The crown Of the Virgin is of mas
,ve gold: her necklace, bracelets, and the orna-
ments OF her head, are valued at fifty millions
There is, in the treasury, an infinite number of
heads, arms aud legs Of gold and silver, given to
the Virgin as rewards for the miracles she has
performed. II also contains hundred and nine
tv-fve lamps Of silver, and the same number OF
chandeliers and censcrs. But all these riches are
nothing in comparison with the grand canopy
which IS used to carry the host on the day ct the
Fcte.D .Dicu. The circumference Of the sun and
his rays is as large as one Of the wheels OF
my chariot The rays are Of massive gold, and
covered with cmcrads. This chalicc is on a pc
tlcstal OF silver three feet high. The whole can
opy weighs five hundred pounds, and it is placed
on Il gilt stand, No Jewcller or Goldsmith has
ever been able TO estimate this canopy. 1t wa

SPAIty AND PORTUGAL.

The Memorial Bordlelas announces from an
official despatch arrived at Zamora on the Esd
December, that, on the 20th, at 4 O'Clock i'll the
afternoon, the fortress of Almcdia, the most I'M
portant place in Portugal, had surrendered to
the Portugucse Royalists The garrison, 1000
strong, proclaimed the Iufant Don Miguel, King,
swearing to maintain his title to the death,
The same letter states, that the fermentation
in the country, the hatred ofthc constitution, and
OF the English, acquire more and more consis-
tency every day.
A Regency TO act for Don Miguel had been es-
tablished at I.amego, the Marquis of Chaves,
President The same paper remarks that wise
men in England have already began to reflect
upon the consequences of such an enterprise. 1t
begins to be believed that the British Cabinet
vii! exert itselfto obtain from King Ferdinand
such concessions as may enable England, without
disgrace, to modify her prctensions
Mr. Lamb, the English agent, still continued
to reside at Madrid, and there were rumours
from the frontiers, of the likelihood OF an ar
rangement between Spain and England.
On the subject ofthe British negotiations with
Spain, Billinge's Liverpool Advertiser Of 10th
Jan. observes, -s'Nothing deiinitive is yet known
as to the state of the negotiation with Spain. :
The ru,nours in general are of war-like nature,
and there is really reason to fear that Ferdinand
will risk war rather than accedc to the just
claims of this country and OF Portugal. The
| Qvotidieaar, French ultra paper, and the organ
of the Apostolicas, states positively that FcIsin-
and has rejected the demands of the british
Government with more hrmness than civllity; and
the London Courier, paper likely to be well
acquainted with the matter, speaks of the state
of the negotiations as most unsatisfactory. 1t
is stated that the Church, the only body possess
ed Of wealth in Spain, has offered to support
Ferdinand with all its treasure and its influence,
and an army estimated at from to 10000 men,
is assembling on the frontiers of Portugal. This
looks more like war than peace.
There was a very serious storm on the
west coast of England, on the week ending

We lay before our readers a letter from the
Governor ofGcorgia to the Secretary OF War o.
tic 18th Feb, together with his civil and niil-
.ary orders Of the same date. Governor lronp,
il would seem, is determined TO resist the author
ity Of tile Executive, and hold ''peaceably 4 nc
can, or forcibly il lie must" the Indian Territory
in dispute. Congress has neglected to legislate
upon this subject TO the extent necessary TOR an
amicablc adjustment Of the matter, and il now
becomes discretionary with the Executive. From
the energetic tone of the Message of the Prcsl-
dent, as communicated to the House on the 5tll
Of Feb, upon this subect we have the best rea
son to believe that such steps as he may take, to
put an end to the dispute in agitation, will be
prompt and decisive; and if the civil arrange
ments which have been made to arrest the sur
veys, are not eif'ectua, the military arm of the
law must be stretched forth.

that Morgan is now alive and well in this city
There was an article i'll the Enquirer yesterday,
stating that achanccry suit had been instituted by

conclusion which would naturally arise in the
mind at reading the Enquirer's paragraph, but
we think he involved the subject in greater per-
plexites. lfa chanceiy suit was instituted by
Morgan, did it not require his afiidiyits Could
any one but the real man do so, unless one ot
the three persons assumed the name of Morgan
We understand that the brotherhood Of masons

have been made to get up an indictment for !,
