scription of the Inquisitorial Rooms is also given. They bear a resemblance, although far exceeding in horror, those described by Mr. Perry, in his visit to the Inquisi Inquisitorial - torial Inquisitorial Rooms in Mexico. When we arrived at the wall and sum summoned - moned summoned them to surrender & open the gates, says Col. L. in his report they presented a musket and shot one of the men. This was the signal of attack. It was soon ob obvious - vious obvious that it was an unequal warfare. The walls were covered wilh soldiers of the holy office. After a hard struggle, a breach was made. On rushing in we met the Inquisi Inquisitor - tor Inquisitor General followed by the father confes confessors - sors confessors in their priestly robes. All came out of their rooms with long faces, and their arms crossed over their breasts as if they had been deaf to all the noise of the attack and defence, and rebuked their own sol soldiers, - diers, soldiers, saying: 'Why do you fight our friends, the French" Their intention was to make us believe this defence was wholly unauthoriz unauthorized - ed unauthorized by them, and that they were friendly. Their artifice was too shallow and did not succeed. I ordered them to be secured as prisoners. We then proceeded to examine all the rooms we passed through room after room, found all perfectly in order. richly furnished, and wax candles, altars and crucifixes in abundance, but could dis cover no evidence of iniquity being prac- iicea mere. ue martile Boor was arrang arranged - ed arranged with a strict regard to order; but where were those horrid instruments of torture of which we had been told, and where those dungeons in which human beings were said to be buried alive. We searched in vain; and the holy father assured ns that they i. .. j i i i i . i . ima u-;en oeuea mat we had seen all; and Iwas prepared to give up the search, but Col. de Lile was not so ready, and said to me: 'Let this marble floor be examined; let water be poured upon it, and see if there is anyplace where it passes through more freely than others.' I replied, 'do as you please.' Water was poured on the floor and every seam carefully examined, to see if the wa water - ter water passed through. Presently, Col. deLile exclaimed he had found it by the side of one of these marble slabs; the water passed through fast, and all hands were now at work for further discoveries officers with their swords, soldiers with their bayonets, seeking to clear out the seam and pry np the rlab, and others wilh the butts of their muskets striking the slab wilh all their roigiit, trying to break it. One of the soldiers strnck on the slab with Ilia butt of his gun, and hit a. spring, and the marble slab flew up. Then the fa ces of the Inquisitors grew pale asBelshaz asBelshaz-zar's - zar's asBelshaz-zar's when the hand-writing appeared on tho wall. Beneath the slab there was a staircase. I stepped to the altar and took from one of the candl s icks a candle four feet in length, that I might explore the room below doing tins, 1 was arrested by one of the Inquisitors, who laid his hand upon ray arm, and With a very demure and holy look, said: 'My son, you must not take those lights with your bloody hands they are holy. Well." I said, 'I will take a holy thing to shed light on iniquity,' and proceeded down the staircase. As we reached the bottom of the stairs we entered a large room which was called the hall of judgment. In the ceuter was a large block, wilh a chain fastened to it, and 6 mall cells extending the entire length of the edifice; and here such sights were pre presented - sented presented as we hope never again to see. These cells were places where the wretch wretched - ed wretched objects of Inquisitorial hate were con confined, - fined, confined, till death released them from their suf tarings. Iu these cells we found the re mains of some who had paid the debt of nature; some had been dead but a short time, while of others, nothing remained but their bones, slill chained to the floor of the dungeon. In other cells were found living sufferers of both sexes, from three score years and ten down to fourteen, all naked as when born in the world .and all in chains. Here were the old man and woman that had been shut up for years; here, too, were the middle-aged; theyoung men and maid ens of fourteen years. . The soldiers went to work releasing them.and took their over over-coals - coals over-coals and other clothing, and gave them to cover their nakedness. We then proceed proceeded - ed proceeded to explore another room on the left. Here we found instruments of torture of every kind which the ingenuity of man or devil could invent. Col. D. here described four of the hor horrid - rid horrid instruments. The first was a machine by which the victim was confined; then beginning with the fingers, every joint in the hands, arms and body was drawn out, the second was a box in which the head of the victim was confined by a screw; over the box was a vessel from which one drop of water fell every second on the head, in the same place, which put the sufferer in the most excru excru-tiating - tiating excru-tiating agony, till death; the third was as infernal machine, laid horizontally, to which the viotim was bound; the machine was then placed between two beams, in whioh were scores of knives so fixed that by turning the machine by a crank, the flesh was torn from his limps all in small pieces. The fourth surpassed the others in fiendish ingenuity. Its exterior was a beautiful woman or doll; richly dressed, with arms extended,, and. around her feet a

Henceforth the glare of the world, with its care and vicissitudes, fall upon tho old widower's heart, and there is nothing to break their force, or shield him from tba full weight of misfortune. It is as if his right hand was withered, as if one wing of an old eagle was broken, and er er-rey - rey er-rey movement that he made brought him to the ground. His eyes' are dim and glassy, and when the film of death falls over him, be misses those accustomed tones which might have smoothed his pas passage - sage passage to the gjave. '

I've just been put t'ng my horse up to stono walls; he'll make a capital itncer." "Of courso you discard the side-saddle?" 'Not quite so bad as that,' replied the Bloomer slightly blushing. 'I'm going to see my grrips, Jack,' said old Winkle, 'so you must tako care of the ladies.' 'Dear girl,' said Jack, addressing Maria, when Winkle had retired, 'though I hu humored - mored humored Mr. Winkle's joke, when he intro introduced - duced introduced me, still the moment I saw you, I knew that you were none other than my Melinda; you are just what I painted you in my dreams."

'Dear Melinda, this joke of trying to pass Tom, here, off ns you, reminds me of the Bloomer mania. We had accounts of it in Paris, and it made the Frenchmen laugh confoundedly at our expense. Once in a while you see a woman in the streets of Paris, dressed in male attire, and such travesties are com common - mon common in carnival time,' but only tolerated then by the license of the season. 'It is an absurd mania, to be sure,' said Maria.

'Don't you want to look at the grounds?' said Melinda in a subdued and agitated voice. 'I want to talk with your sister, you lit little - tle little rascal!' cried Jack; and taking her by the shoulders ha put her out of the room and locked the door on her. Ten minutes afterward she peered through tho front window blinds, and saw Jack kissing Maria, it being part of his sys system. - tem. system.

Ohio cah't be beat. At the grand Ba Baby - by Baby Show of Barnum at his Museum, Ohio leads off in point of productiveness. Mr, J. B. Sprague and his wife, exhibited two girls and three boys, triplets and twins. All of them were born in Knox county, Ohio. - Tbe triplets, two girls and a boy, were five years old, and the twins, boys, ware three years old. Tbe happy father thought this was patting in the time pret pretty - ty pretty well. We rote aye on that question. There are seven sets of triplets, 11 sets of twins, and 100 single editions of human!-1 ity. At least 10,000 persons attended the show during the first day. The total income was over 92,500. It will be kept up about a week, and will turn oat quite speculation. The Tribune reporter thus describes the baby that look tbe 9 100 prize &c: "The baby who took the premium of 8 1 00 as the handsomest in the collection somehow escaped the notice of reporters, Its name is Charles Orlando Scott; it was born February 18. 1851; the father is 30 years old and the mother 28; the mother" has had two children before; she "lived freely" for the year previous to its birth i she indulged daring thatime in general domestic exercise; its birth was regular, and it has been bathed in cold water win ter and summer. Mr. Barnum speaks iu very high term of the beauty of the mother. The mother and child will be enthroned to-day and through the week foi die pub' lie ratification of the award. After that it can be found at No, 969 Fourth avenue Its father is a coachman. It is therefore1 definitely ascertained that a band soma baby 'must have a handsome mother, and she must have had two children before,, that she must live freely, take general do mestic exercise on lerel land, and that hef husband must be a coachman.''

And what has been the effect of pope popery - ry popery upon the happiness of. our race? This is a question of wide bearing,' yet I can do little more than glance at it.

KIRWAN'S LETTERS. TO TUB RIGHT REV. JOHN HUGHES, BISHOP OP HKW YORK. LETTER; XI. Mr dear Sir. In my last letter, I sub submitted - mitted submitted to your decision tho question, whet! er or not the Roman Catholic is a churen of Ulirist, after briefly stating to you how some things bearing on its truth truthful - ful truthful decision strike mo. I design the pres ent letter to nave no very remote bearing upon the same question; and would ask you to give it ths degree of consideration to which, iu candour, you may deem its statements entitled. In reading tho prophecies of the Old Testament, I find that they all speak wilh the most glowing anticipations of the yet tutuie Kingdom ot Messiah, lhat kingdom was to produce the civil, moral, and spirit spiritual - ual spiritual renovation of the world. When I turn over to the New Testament, 1 find that on the birth of Messiah, the Ansjel of the Lord staled to the shepherds that he came to bring them good tidings of treat joy which should be to all people. And having announced the birth of the Sav Saviour - iour Saviour in the city of David, he was suddenly joined by a multitude of angels; singing, "Ulory to uod in the Inchest, and on ea?th peace, good will toward men."
