MODERN SPANISH INQUIsITION.

Some accounts remain to be given OF the
inhuman conduct of the jailors towards the
incarccratcd nn Ferdinan's revival of the In
quisiton.-What shall we say when we hear
the case of an unhappy chaplain in the regil-
nent Of I.orcna, whilst in Murrica, who at
ter popular commotion had restored him
to liberty, took the violent alternative OF
drowning himself in well, rather than re-
tnrn to the inquisition? What shall we say
when informed that young officer of the
same regiment was driven to madness ana
suicide at Valencia1 The most complete in
formation, however, with which we can sup
ply our readers on this head, will be con-

Gated to us by patriotic mag istrate, who
was shut up during fifteen months in the In

THE RUINS.
Bv s. osEonN,

I've seen, in twilight's pcnsivc hour,
The moss-clal dome, the mouldcrinG towc
In awful ruin stand;
That dome, where grateful voices sung,
That tower, whose Ginning music ring,
Majestically grand
I've seen, mid sculptur'd pride, the tomb
Where heroes slept, in silent gloom,
Unconcous Of their fame
Those who, with laureld honors crown'd,
Among their foes spread terror round,
And gain'd-an empty name
I've seen, i'll Deaths dark palace laid,
The ruins ola beautcous maid,
Cadaverous and pale!
That maiden who, while life rc,maind,
Der rival charms in triumph rcgn'd,
The mistress of the vale.
Eve seen, where dungeons damps abide,
A youth, admr'd in manhood's pride,
In morbid fancy rave;
lie who, in reasons happier day,
Was virtuous, witty, noble gay;
Learn'd, generous and brave.
Nor dome, nor tower, in twilight shade,
Nor hero fallen, nor bcmuteous maid,
TO ruin all consgn'd--
Can with such pathos touch my breast
As (on the maniac's form impress'd)
The Ruins ofthc MNp!

A RIVER SONG.
Mcriily whistles the wind of the shore
Through the bthe willow,
But YEARLY drops the boatman's oar
On the calm bllow:-

So freshly on the land
The feather shook from the wild ducks wing
Scarce finds the stranhi
Then do not ftar--up maiden and hear
The gushing bil!ow--
In the deep silent of the night
Lie on your pillow;
But wake with tic waking OF the daylight
As fresh and AS fair, and rs bushinS and bright,
is it not plcasantcr thus to steal
DER the watcr-than on a dall bed
70 toss in the wasting sun, and 10 feel
The heavy air over your head,
For this keen, elastic wind Look back!
Hal how cctly
St. Ma,y's tufrcts fade from our track
And how swectly
The chime of its bells comes o'cr the car,
With the rush of the shannon's waters hcrc
Oh! it is pleasant to mari, the lark
When the dark brow Of night is clearing,
Give greeting to the dawn-and-har
Walked by the tlashing ofour bark,
through tic green waves callCcfnSi

Around us scrcamng--
Startlc thy silent shores, Ticrvce!
Where the bcamng

Finds pleasant scenes to smile upon!

With its high round tower, and churches clcve

And now in the west there's pickering bright.

HOPE.

Like the foam on 4 billow
When it swclls DER the deep.
Like u tear on the pillow
When we sigh while we sleep.
Like the syrcn that sings
We nc'er can tell where,
Is the fond Hope that brings
The night Of Dispair.
Like the star light of gladncss
When it CLEANS in deaths eye,
Like the meteor ofmadncss
In the spirits dark sky,
Like the zcphyrs that perish
With the breath of their birth,
are the hopes that We cherish
While prisoncd on earth.
All the pleasures and pains
That pass DER us below.
Are like colours and stains
Imprinted in snow,
All the loves of the bosom
That glows with delight,
Are mildew'd in blossom
And withered with blight.
The sunbeams of feeling
Lights the ruin of love;
And woe is e'er stealing

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

One Of the evil effects of circulating spurious
tickets at the late election is obvious in The case OF
MIR. PHILIP RYBoLD, Levy Court Commissioner.
MIR. Rybold is known to be OF the most respect
able, honest and independent men in the county
and we venture to say that he will fill the Office of
Levy Court Commissioner with as much ability
and advantage TO the public as any other member
of that court. But it is the fate Of every man TO
have an enemy, whether it be the effect OF his vir
tues or his faults. Some person, doubt actuated
by private and improper motives, procured num-
Der of tickets to be printed, with the name of Mr..
Rybold omitted. These were circulated in the
lower hundreds, and as they bore strict resem-
bance to the genuine ticket, two or three hundred
of them were nnocently voted, we are told, by
persons who entirely ignorant of the omission
OF Mr. Rybold's name.

his cancelling. 1t is now said, that Gen. Barton
