Mr.. Snowden:-Our learned friend has no.
ticed the two Problems Of the 10th inst. prompt
", If not satisfac torily. The S"ution implied,
however, was Arithmetical, not Algebraic. An
Arthmetica solution of the first question is
therefore still required;-an also Of the second.
which second, any assertion to the contrary not
wi,hstanding, affirm to be determinafe.
| concur in the wish, that the proposer of the
second question had substituted 700 for the
whole sum. This wish however, together with
all the advantages attendant OIL ingenuity, are
forever lost on the proposer, who has long since
fled to the land of spirits. II.

ORDER IN THE GALLERIES.

Upon two or three recent occasions the spec.
tators in the Hobbies and galleries Of the Senate
have evinced their appreciation of remarks made,
by applauding. We hope never to see this al
lowed in the presence of legislative or judicial
bodies in this country; and we are glad to find
that the President of the Senate has determined,
upon every such violation of order, to clear the
galleries. If applause is once permitted, we
shalt next have Kissing, and finally tumu, and
confusion. The rule of perfect silence on the
part of the audience ought hereafter to be most
rigidy enforced.

AMY RoBsART. No person ever read
the painfully interesting story of Kenil-
worth, without being deeply affected by
the tragical fate of poor Amy Robsart.-
There are few perhaps, who, for days
after, have not experienced an OCCASION
a! shudder as the picture has occurred
to their imagination, of the sweet and
guileless victim of Varney's treachery,
when the trap door guve way beneath
her elastic tread. and instead of being
caught, as her heart fondly anticipated,
in the arms Of her too tardy lord, she
was precipiiated from the lofty platform
to that deep and dismal vault, through
the dim air Of which the white dress that
covered her lifeless body presented to
the wretches peering over the ledge a.
bovs. the appearance of a thin snow
curl, which Auttered for moment, and
was still forever. We know no scene ol
more painful interest than this-none
which is perused with more intense at.
tention, or which leaves 81: :h IAN aching
void IN the readers breast. Indeed, so
powerful was the effect Of that story on
us when we first perused it, that the fol-
lowing anecdote ofthe impression il crca-
ted on the mind Of It's original publisher,
hardly strikes us being exaggerated
We copy the story from the last Loudon
