The Arkansas advocate., 1830-11-10

attempted murder in that town, which
 exhibits the most appalling deprayity. Ion sunday evening last, a lad i5 years Of Of :::.;re;of the na..sseef Cheney, son of a
 Blacksmith, went to the house of ssnoth-
 Ter lad, about I6 years os age, whose
 name our informant did not recollect.
 Gilci,e re, ailes oi i,ii. to o out to tt tic
 barn, to swap watches. which he did ta-
 king with him little trunk containing
 a watch and fourteen dollars. Some ] time after, the parents offthe boy who
 hadleft thehouse, (supposing ghimto have
 gone to bed1 were reused by his cries sitt q | the door. He was found iii si shock ing condition. The back part of his head.was beaten in, and he was wholly
 unable to give any account of what had happened to him. Suspicion rest ed ed on young Cheney, who was traced
 and taken about twenty miles from Med field, and has been committed to jaii.
 From his confession and other testimo- ny it appears that his companion while in tile barn, declined trading watches that they continued talking, the moon shining bright, antil the elder boy fell
 asleep. Cheney then struck him on the
 head with 6 club, until he supposed he
 had killed hfm, and threw the body out of the window of the barn loft, and with the trunk, made his escape. His inten- tion nvvas to get to some seaport and go to sea. The wounded boy succeeded in crawling to his fathers house. It was thought probable that he might recover from his wounds.-ProD. D. .1dv.
 7he Remaias of Coiuasbas.-This eel ebrated navigator was at St. Domingo, when he was seized and sent home to Spain in irons. On his arrival at Cadiz, the King and Queen ordered him to be
 released; and apologisUd for the treat ment he had received. But Columbus could never forget the ignominy. lie preserved theafetters, hung them up in his apartment; and ordered them to be buriedsinhis grave. In compliance with
 his request, his body was removed from Seville to the Island of St. Domingo There his bones remained until the Span- ish part of the Island was ceded to Franee.sin l795. In consequence of this cession, the descendants of Colum- bus requested that his remains might be
 removed to Cuba. On the 18th ofa5an- uafy, l796, the brass coffin which
 contained the ashes of the great man, together witha chain which served as a memorial of his sovereign's weakness, was carried down to the harbour in pro- eession, under fire of the ports, and put
 on board brig of war, to be removed to Havana. The brig arrived safely in 1 the harbour of Havana, and the remains of the discoverer of America were bu- ried with all the pofnp and ceremony that could be bestowed upon them.
 English Wopep.-In a country like England, where the tremendous dispar- l ity of poverty and luxury is associated, where the struggles for fashionable pre-
 eminence are unceasIng, and the means 1of attainment difficult or exhausted, the lrelative position eG women of rank, or
 those aspiring to be thought such, must
 be very wretched. Those who are un-
 married dare not move unattended, they
 have not an atom of Individual liberty, ] its indulgence would cost them all they l hold dear. The lot of Turkish women lis infinitely softer, their intellects are
 measured to their cages. But these
 English women educated for the world. writhing under sense of insigniGcance. l and who, while single, have no social
 existence, and look to marriage as the
 means of exuitation, white the increasing demands Of luxury, and the embarrass- nrent ofaffairs, forbid their hopes---how
 miserable an allosraent. What state Imore degrading thanthat of an individ-
 uai Of an assemblage of accomplished
 women, offering ngsuccessiveincense at the Ishrine of wealth, personilied in vice or
 fatuity. Philadelphia .4l6um.
