The Destruction of the Inquisition at Madrid. tho following account, by Colonel ! hetnanowakv, will ho read with interest 1 . I?v or our renders who have nol had the opportunity of seeing it. The Colonel ( in a I'jjlander, was the commander o? n regiment In Bonaparte's army, nt Madrid, In 1S09, when the Inquisition was destroy ! ?d, hot is now a minister of the gospel in ! tire Lutheran Church iu one of tbs We* tern States: . < i / ' It had been decreed by the Emperor ' Napoleon, tiiat tha Inquiaition should he auppressad, fcnt the decree was not execut 1 ed. Months had passed nwav, and the prison* of tin? Inquisition hail not yet been opened One flight, about ten o'clock, as ,Colonel L. was walking one of the streets of Madrid, two armed men sprar g npon | him from an alley, aud made a furious attack. lie instantly drew his sword, put himself in a posture of defence, and while etrt?or?1 inif with them, lie new, at a distance, the light* of the pttrola?French soldier* mounted, who carried lantern*, and who rode through the streets of the 1 city at all hour* of the night, to preserve : etfler. He called to them in French, and ' aa they hastened to his assistance, the assailant.* took to their heels and escaped, I net, however, before he saw by their dress that they belonged to the Guards * ?f the Inquisition. "Ho want immediately to Mawdial ' Soult, llien Oovernor of Madrid, told ldm what bud takan wla^a, and ramin Jed him i of tha decroo to auppreta tbia inatiiulion.

We | had ao cawnon, nor could we scale the ( j I wiilis, and the gates successfully resisted nil attempts at forcing fhem, T could not retire and send for cannon to break through the walls, without giving them time to lay a train for blowing us up.? I saw that it was necessary to change the mode of attack, and directed some trees to be cut down and trimmed, to bfi used as battering rams. Twfo of these wore taken up by detachments of men, as nu. j merous as could work to advantage, and j brought to hear upon the walla with all J the power which thev could exert, while the troops kept up a fire, to protect them ^ from*the fire poured upon them from the walls. Presently (lie walls began to tremb'o, a breach* was made, and the im- 1 parial troop* rushed into the Inquisition. I caused the "I'loly Father*" to ha placed uhder guard, ard all the soldiers of the Inquisition to he secured a* prisoners.? J We then proceeded to examine all the ] room* of the stately edifice. We pnssed throneh room after room, and found ever? thin/ to please the eve. and gratify a nil. j tivfttod taste ; hut where wore those hop rid instruments of torture of which wo J had been told; and whore those dungeons , in which human Wings were said to he httried alive ?

By the aido of Qna of these marble slab* thp water passed through fast, as though there was an opening beneath. All hands weri now at work for further discovery. The officers with their aworda, and ciia soMiera with thoV bayonets, soeking to clear out the seam, ami pry up thfa slab. Others, with the butts of their muskets, stoking the slab with al'_ their might, to break it, while the priests remonstrated against our de-ecrsting their holy and beautiful house. Wln'e thus engaged, a so'dler who was striking with the butt of his inn?ko?, struck a spring, and the marble slab flew up. Then the facet of tbe Inquisitors : grew pale as llelfhalzar, when the hand writing appeared on tho wall; they j trembled all oxer. Heneath the marble slab, now partly up, tbere was a stair caae. I stepped to tbe altar, and took from the candlestick one of tbo candles, four foot in length, which was burning, that t might explore the room helo*. As we reached the foot of the stairs, we eutered a large square room, which was called the II >11 of J'ulgiuttiit. Ia the centre of it wtut ft l*r^? block, end h cliftin fastened to it. On this, they had boon accustomed to place the accused, chained to his seat. 1 | On one Melt of the room wa? an elevated seat, called the Throne of Judgment ? Ihia the Inquisitor (Jen?*r;?I occupied, and on either aide were seals, lest el-vet > ed, for the Holy Fathers, w hen engaged in the solemn business of the Holy Inqui- ' sition. - ? "From th:* room we jrrnceeded to the right, and obtained access to small cells, I extending the entire length of the edifice; and here sucb sights were presented as we hope never to son agsir. ! "These cells were places of solitary confinement, where the wretched objects 1 of Imjisitional hate vrere confined year after year, till death released them fVotn their sufferings, and there their bodies were suffered to remain until they were entirety decayed, and the rooms had be come fit for others to occupy.

Here wereoM men and aged women, who had been ahut up | for many years! T!ere, mo, were the middle aped, nnd the young man and maiden of fourteen years old. The soldiers immediately went to work to release th?'? captive* from their chains, ami took front their knapeacka thftlr overcoats and other 1 clothing, which they gave to cove^tbeir nakednesa.

II?ro we found the instruments of torture, of every kind which tho ingenuity of men or devils could in> ! vent. Col. L. here described four of these | horrid iostruments. Tho first was h. ma chine by which the victim was confined, and then, beginning with the fingers, Uiinl III tlin hand* Otarl krwlee J J - - ?? were broken or drawn, one after Hnother, until the victim died. Tbo second was a box, in which tbe head nnd neck of the , victim were so closely confined by a screw, that he could not move in any way.? j Over the box was* vessel, fiorn which one drop of water a second fell upon the head of ihe victim,?every successive drop falling upon pYecisely tbe same place oo the head, suspended the circulation in a few moments, and pnt tbe sufferer in the j most excruciating agony. The third was ! an infernal machine, laid horizontally, to which the victim was bound,the machine then being placed between two beams, in which were scores of knives, so fixed, that, hr turning the machine with a crank, the Ilesh of the sulTerer was torn from his limbs, iJI iu small pieces. The fourth surpassed the others in fiendish ingenuity, j lis exterior was a beautiful woman, or j iarge .doll, richly dressed, with arms ?x- ) tended, ready to embrace its victim.? | Around her feet a semi circle ivai drawn, j The victim who passed over .his fatal , mark, touched a spring, which caused ! the diabolical eng;n? t0 open, its arms, clasp iiiir, and a thousand knives cut him into as many pieces, iu the deadly em brace. ' Col. Tj. said that the sight of these engines of infernal cruelty kindled the rage of the soldiers to fury. They de c'arcl that every Inquisitor and soldier of the Irnuisition should be nut to the tor, turn. Tli??ir rage was ungovernable.? CNj). L. did not oppose them { they might havo turned their arms ngainat him, if he. had attempted lo arrest their wotlc.? They began with the 41o!jr Fathers.?, i 11h first,.thev p it to death in the machine f.>r breaking the joint*. The tortnre lite Inquisitor, put to death by the drop, ping of water on his head, was most ex eructating. The poor man cried out in agony to he taken from the fatal machine. The Inquisitor General was brought be fore the infernal ftngine, called "the Vir( gin." The soldiers commanded him to kiss the Virgin. lie begged to be ex cused "No.*' said they, "you havecau* ed others to ktss her, and you must do it.". They interlocked their bayonets so as to form large fork*, and With these they pus>hed-hiin over ti.e deadly circle. The beautiful iifage instantly prepared for the embrace, ci.ispe I him in its arms, and he was cut into innumerable pieces. Col. L. said lie witnessed the torture of four of them?his heart sickened At the awful scene?and lie left the soldiers to wreak their vengeance on the last guilty iuoiate of that prison house of hell.. In th^moaptimc, It was reported thro* trgh Madrid, that the prisons of the In quisilion were broken open ! And multi tildes hastened to the fatal spot. And O, wliat a meeting was there! It was like a resurrection ! About a hundred who had hcon*buried for many years, were now restored to life. There were fathers who found their long-lost daugh' tors; wives were restored to their husbands, sisters to their brothers, and pa rents to tbair* children ; and there were some who could recognize no friend a1 tnong the multitude. The scene was such as no tougue can describe. When the multiiixta ha.! retired, Col. ii caused the library, ptiniiogi, (arnitais, ?V<\, to be removed, and having sent to the tfitv for a wngon load of powder, he deposited a large quantity in the vaults beneath the buildiftg, and placed a slow match in connoAion with it. All had withdrawn at a diatnnee? and in a few momenta there was a most joyful eight to thousands I .

Plow Dkep.?To urging deep plowing, j we are not advocating that it shall,be j done with turning plows, except where i I vegetable matter is to be covered, and ' then the plow should be set just deep ' ^ enough to turn the grass or weeds. All ^ deep plowing should be uuue Willi lofig, , narrow plows, or subsoilera, which will stir ! the ground, no#jnattsr how deep, but leave ihe fertile aeratgfl soil at the surface, where it now is. In most of our heavy , toils, to turn them over ten inches deep . with a big northern turn plow, would 1 ruin them for ten years. When we can \ . grow clover, we may safely turn it ia deep , enough to cover it. Row it a^ain with wheat and clover, and enough special ' manure to make the second crop, and when this is turned in, in its turn the soil ia filled with vegetable matter to the depth r of six or eight inches. Deep plowing at r the North, where heavy swards of grass . and clover are turned under, and abundant atock of ait aorta gives plenty nf manure for surface dressing, can safely ha | i done in a way that would daalroy?for the I 1 time, the cropping capacity of much of I our Southern soil.
