NETWORK, now.
The New-York County Agricultural
Society have agreed to memorialize
Congress in favor of extending further
protection to the productive industry Of
the nation and at a late meeting of the
Board of Managers the following reso-
lutions were offered and referred to
committee, who have recommended
their adoption:
RESOLVED, That we consider the pros
perity. power. and wealth Of the Ameri-
can nation, as dependant on the extent
of her productive industry.
Resolved, That we consider agricul-
ture and domestic manufactures, to be
materially connected in their prosperity
and that the latter branch of industry
directly tends to promote the prosperity
of the former, inasmuch as 1t opens
home market for the raw material, pro-
duces an inland exchange mutually
beneficial, and enables nation to rely
upon her own resources.
Resolved, That we deem it TO be the
duty of the Congress of the United
States, to protect the Productive Indus
try of the country, and to pass such laws,
and to adopt such regulations, as vii!
prevent that competition from the intro
duction of foreign fabrics in our c@n
markets, which goes to break down and
destroy it,
RESOLVED, That we consider il as
deeply injurious TO the interests oi

plete with internal resources OF every

SPANISH INQUISITION.

Extract OF letter received in Newburyport,
dated
GIBRALTAR, APRIL 10.
" Since I hare been in Spain have
been in the prison of the Inquisition
al Barcelona; mere recital of thou
sandth part of the horrors of which,
would make any persons blood curdIe
in his veins. When the revolution took
place al Barcelona, the mob rushed upon
the holy office, broke open all the pri-
sons, and gave liberty to the captives.-
The Inquisitors fed, or they would have
been sacrificed by the populace. The
building is partly torn down, and will
soon be entirely. demolished. 1t was by
special permission of the new Governor
that was permitted access to the build
ing, and to visit the prison before its de-
molution. The Catholics begin to see
by what vile and base arts they have
been imposed upon. The mob entered
the holy Office after having released the
prisoners, found all the records and pro-
ceedings of the same for three hundred
years past, and on the impulse of the
moment threw every thing into the street.
! presume there were at least three large
carloads of papers containing the trials,
and records of judgments and execu-
tions-they were gathered up by the
multitude and carried in every direction,
so that almost every person in the city Of
Barcelona had more or less of them, and
such enormities have been developed as
never entered into the human mind to
conceive. My time does not admit of
a more minute detail.
I feel more deeply impressed with
the idea that Americans do not sufficient
Iy appreciate the blessings of free re-
publican form Of government. Nor is it
SO wonderful that his nation should now
simultaneously resolve to throw offtheir
shackles, as that they should for SO long
period have been content to wear
hem."

TO ..ssss.ss
o Mary! there is stealing
Along thy cherub cheek,
That heavenly glow of feeling
Which love alone can speak;
Though silent of expression,
What language could unfold!
So well the hearts impression,
AS by that look is told'
The flowers life may vanish
Before the wintry wind,
But naught shall ever Danish
Thy image from my mind;
fndelibly twill linger.
Through youths career and age,
ENGRAVED by mem'ry's finger
Upon its lasting page.
And when thy years are shaded
By times corroding power,
Still in my heart unfaded,
VIII live that blessed hou-,
When first felt the feeling
Which love alone can speak,
And saw it likewise stealing
Along thy cherub cheek. N. R.
