Judging from what ia mud at page IMI ol
tho North America Review tor the present
month, there appears to be some doubt an to
where Columbus's remains are entered ; The
following extract from a Journal kept at the
Havana, A. 1). 1834, may he now to the Re
viewer and the public.
At the right hand of a rich altar in the
Cathedral, is a bust of (be Admiral, and under
It the billowing.

A sacred mlar in lire Spaniard's breast.
The d slingtnahed place assigned these re
mains is as creditable to the government who
erected the monument, ns • lio conduct of u
eubsotjticntadministration was disgtaceful '.o
*t, Tho conduc- alluded to was noticed in
(he “Diuno do la Habana,” of the IVliiJuii
«mry, 1831, which stales “that some years
ago the venerable remains of Colon worn re-1
moved from their tomb, and dcpositod in the
public burial ground." Oil inquiry it appear
ed that a former bishop of Havana, who was
imbued with liberal principles, had proposed
during the revolution erecting a splendid ce
notaph, in which to enclose those ashes, and
to deposit with them a copy ol the Cansiuu
tion. When the liberals were defeated these
dangerous nahes wore ordered to be destroy
ed. Whether it would be yet possible to
discover them, or whether the barbarous or
der wa* obeyed, it is difficult to ascertain.
There is at present an individual who has
t»een confined on the dehtor’r side of the cas

inmates ol that abode. The law his humane

debtors as are mi side to support themselves,
and during the time of Ins incarceration, tlio
worthy knight ol the razor has consumed “(i3 !,
loaves ot broad, weighing, in iho aggregate
no less than 4 3-4 tons, mid which, if cut up
into fair substantial slices,tor toast, (to which
Iho barber is much attached,) and laid in a
right line, would extend upward* ol forty miles
in length, ami it laid close together, would
cover a surface of nearly eighteen acres of
gronnU; so that he has consumed, at the
county-cost, nearly 70 loads of wheat, or the
produce of nine acres of good average land;
ami supposing the worthy knight to have had
a proportionate allowance ot butter to Ins
bread, he will have consumed nearly 1000
lbs of butter, or the produce ot a dairy ol

RUSSIA AND CIRCASSIA.
A correspondent of the Muting Chronicle, un
der date of Constantinople, Nov. 15, stales that a
letter bad been received fr..m Mr Longworlh, in
Circassia, giving a most ileplorahla account of the
stale ol Ibe Russian forces in that country. Tbe
diminished army of the north was first retreating
across tbs Kouban, closely followed up by the
Circassians; nml the army oftbo south was also
hastening its prepniations to ro-em'.mrk,after hav
ing lost Ibe greater part of its best officers, and
more than a third of its men; having, ns the sole
wmk ol ibe campaign,only succeeded in building
two small field redoubts on the coast, which
would in nil probability be again destroyed by the
Cireissians during the late boisterous weather, as
many as eight Russian vessels, including men of
war and transports have been wrecked on the
coast; and that the fleet would, in a few days,
return to Sabaslpol for Ibo winter, having, as a
proof of the efficacy of this famous blockade,only
suiciding in capturing one boat during the whole
season, notwithstanding ilia numbers, which, I
may say, almost weekly leave both here and Tre
bizond fur the Caucasian ahuies.
SPAIN.
Private letters from the Spanish frontiers, slirlo
that Dun Curios has succeeded in re-organizing
a force of twenty battalions, ami well armed,
t'()uip|ied, and well supplied with clothing, pro
visions and ammunition. This forco is com
posed cntnely of Castilians, and is destined for
operations exclusively in tbe central provinces ol
Spain, and against Madrid. The only want ex
perienced is said to he of horses for his cavalry,
to procure which his agents are using the greatest
exert ons, as that description of troops in strength
is indispensable for action in tbe plains. This
force is independent of the Navarreso corps, who,
as is well known, have the strongest repugnance
lo quit their mountain fastnesses and cross tbe
Ebro. The quarrels between his Generals, it is
added, will bo ai ranged, ns it was considered on
all bunds to be exlraonlinary that obedience to
his authority was so perfect among them that not
one detection had taken place, although several
had been placed under arrest, or sent before
courts martial for trial. Altogether these le.lleis
express the greatest astonishment that Don Gar
bs should have succeeded in finding resources
tor re-organ i Ail rg so formidable a force in so short
a space ot time, and alertin', great losses of the
last campaign.
Advices Irom Uayonne, of the 2 I instant, state

(From the Private Correspondent of the Herald,)
Wax, Dee. 7. —This morning I received the
following interesting information:
"Royal Head-Quarters, Antonio, Dec. 4.
“After much delibralion, Don Carlos has res
olved not to accompany the first expedition now
about to advance into Castile. This resolution

' “The Infante Don Sebastion continues with

J I can give you, ns positive, that Espnrfero has
given tip all thought of getting possession nf the
line of Vnlcarlos. His excuse is, that he has
not sufficient force to keep it; Hut such is his
want of provisions and money, that he has been

convoy which was lo have left St. Jean Pied de

The State Cannon. —This statement Avas
communicated to us litis morning. Day before
yesterday Colonel Ransom, commanding tbe mil-
Ilia at Tnnewanda, icccivcd a letter through the
pout olli-.e, purporting to be written by General
Scott, ordering trim to deliver to certain team
sters the cannon belonging to the Slate, which
had been left in his custody. The circumstances
that this ordetl‘trough (he post oiflee, and lire
totally unrnilitury character of the address, exci
ted Col. R’s suspicions that all was not right,
and before complying with it, he called upon a
gentleman of Tonuwanda, and showed him the
document. This gentleman assured him that he
was acquainted with Gen. Scott’s hand writing
and believed the order to be written by him. The
cannon were accordingly given up. Where
they are no one can tell, but every one can guess
in whose possession they are.
Yesterday, however, Col. Ransom, to make
assurance doubly sure, sent a despatch to Gen.
Scolt.advising of the facts; but we understand that
the bearer saw til In delay delivering it for some
hours after he arrived in town.
It appeared upon investigation, that the order
from Gen. S. was a forgery, and that some person
or persons adopted litis course in order to recover
three guns from the protection of tho Stale, to
which they had boon surrendeted only so long as
suited their purposes.
We have heard vaiious rumors, which strong
ly compromise several individuals hi. this city,
who lime played prominent pans in recent move
l merits here, hut as measures have been adopted to
i asucrtain the parties to this transaction, and bring
i them to justice, we forbear giving names, or aliu
’ ding more distinctly to reports.
1. appears that the above order, or letter, was
1 written by an inhabitant of Liulfalo, named Win.

, Mr. Editor:
I have been for a long time a subscriber to th«
Chronicle and should regret to he compelled to
give it up, as I must take an Augusta paper, and
. have for many years been strongly opposed to the
doctrines of the Constitutionalist and Courier, i
have not however seen one of your papers for
’ some time, without feeling almost resolved to step
, it, on account, chiefly, of the communications of
; your correspondent at Washington. Since tho
• establishment of the Express Mail, these corres
pondents, and the slips from the news-papers as
B fords such speedy information of the most inter
esting proceedings there, that no one but a pro
r leased politician thinks of resitting the chall’of ilia
- s’ale sheets that come lagging behind.
A Washington correspondent has therefore
became necessary to every newspaper, and his
u character and views are really ot more moment
to the community, than those oi the Editor him
, sco. Now, your correspondent is to my mind,
evidently a hank man and a Clay man, and I fear
; wanting in Southern feelings. To a Bank, lam
p in common,l presume, with nine-tenths of your
f country subsoiihers, at least, unchangeably (jppos
) c j ; to Mr. Clay I am, and I believe, they ate
' equally so. For I regard him as concentrating
, within himself more doctrines that are anti-South
• ern, and, if in power, more fatal to the South,
' than any man who has yet flourished in the Re
public. not excepting the elder nor the younger
Adams. Ho is an Internal Improvement man—
■ a Tariff man —o Dank man —and an Mali*
' tionist. Ho is the three first of these open y‘
decidedly and thoroughly. His entire politics'
reputation and influence is based upon them
-1 They ate the positions on which lie has fought
• throughout his whole career. How many ofyou r
1 subscribers concur with him 1 But you, as well
as jout correspondent, vindicate him from being
t an abolitionist. Ho is the President of the Colo
• ni/alion Society— the parent of Abolition. He
regards slavery as an evil—as a slain upon ou r
, natio a! Character—<as a thing that mast bo abol
ished. This is abolitionist enough for me. And
I will not contribute even to the amount of my
s subscription, to a newspaper to place one Jot of
' power or influence in tho hands of such a man,
and least of all, of such a slave holder. I have
no doubt, however, in my mind, that Mr. Clay is
qarfrom being quiescent even in his views on this
• /subject, and that he is the very man who has
■' paralyzed the action of the South at Washington;
and that to his influence we owe, in a great mea.
....... :!,c si>Mr Pinckney’* treacherous
rcsblutions, two years agd. That fanioiis paita
cea which settled the question then! has -ce
lled it again recently, and is to rc-sctllo it at the
Commencement of every session, I presume, so
long as the South is able to command even this
miserable amnesty lor her leelings—her rights—
and her existence.
Your correspondent affects to sneer at Mr. Cal*
houn’s “resolves.” lam nut the partisan of that
gentleman. He is a man of much honesty and
many errors. His greatest fault I believe vo be
bis want of knowledge of man —not of munkind.
He is neither man-serving nor time-serving, and
therefore wants tact, and must waul
success. But the fotco of his genius sweeps over
these petty considerations, anil, in the long run,
carries most of bis measures, whether right or
wrong. Such tl man is not to bo sneered at, nor
any thing that comes from him. Ho looks to pos
tenty for that position which his bold and over
bearing talents and temper deny him now, and it
is not to lie wondered at that he should wish oc
casionally to reiresh the record of those great
principles on which his fume is to rest, and on
which too, hang all the hopes of the South in this
confederacy. It is nearly all that is left either to
the South or him. To say the least of his reso
lutions, they can do no harm, —for to talk of hie
agitation of Abolition, is heilhtr tfiore nor less
than sheer humbug—and if .Mr. Pinckney’s reso
lutions to he re enacted at every session, I see
no reason why a Southern man can object to re
curring now and then to the first principles of the
Constitution and the Union, and reminding the
country of what they were. To some men, those
things aic grating. To Mr. Clay, no doubt, and
to lus Northern allies—lor his alliance is with the
North, and lie hales—yes, hales the South.
I do nut ask you to change your correspon
dent, mid if I did, my subscription—and it is the
only way I can affect you—is 100 insignificant
to influence you in the slightest degree, to such
a tiling; But, s;r, if you concur with him, and
j arc in favor of the Banks and Clay, take your
ground openly, that none of those who think like
me, may feel reluctant to do our mile of duty.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET DKC If).
Our (Jetton Market is in much the same stale as
on the fill inst the date of our last respects, por a
few days subsequently the demand was more active,
which gave the holders some advantage in prices,
hut in ilie last two davs there has hern a greater
quantity offering, and though a fair extent of bust
no is has been dime, the full rales of the oarly part
of the week arc not attainable in .all instances, mid
the market, notwithstanding the extremely low
stock is rather heavy at the prices ol the Till inst.
The sales of the weak ending Sth inst. we o Hills)
bales, and for tbo week ending last evening they
amounted to 22,880 bales; of the la’tor, 5570 were
Upland at7 a 81, and 1)0 at 9i; 2290 Alabama and
at (U a 8}; 120 Sea Island at 1C a 19; and 100
stained at 61 to 13d per lb. The tram unions in Up
land and Orleans aboveBl are very inconsiderable,
and small lots of llie former of prime quality have
sold at 8; equal to any that has yet arrived of the
new crop The import euntimics very light, and
the stock of Cotton in this port Is now reduced to
about 1-15,000 bales, against 221,000 at same period
last year; tbo stock of American is estimated at
51,000 bales, or 5t),t)00 less tlian it then was.
MVKTt POOI. DECEMBER, 16
The transactions of the week have been in some
measure w-thout excitement, and moderate in ex
tent without change in prices, our quotations of to
day being about tbo same ns atthe close of last week.
Tlia Sunits at miction to-day went otTat about the
current prices; and 707 bales offered. 310 were s dd j
at lid to Sid. The sal; sto-daj are 8000 baas efnll !
kinds; and (lie market is, if any thing, languid.
Speculators have taken 2000 bales ol American, and
200 Surat. The import this waok is -1,685 hags, j
and lire sales are 22,880 bags, among which are:—.

MANCHESTER MARKET DEC. 16.
Callmi. —There has been morn during this week
both in band and power loom cloth, and at rather
better prices; but still hy no means equal to the ad
vance in Cotton; and with but law exceptions, prime
cost cannot bo obtained. In hand loom cloth, this
is especially the rase, and on the goods now making
a serious less is likely to bo sustained, unless a more
unlocked for turn takes place in the market.
