The Madrid papers announce the death ol' the Duke of Neraeua, a grandee of Spaiu ol the first class. The Paris papers, iu reproducing the news, describe him us "Admiral and Governor General of the Indies." The deceased Duke was neither an Admiral nor a Governor of the Indies or of any other place. These were merely titles which he inherited from his ancestor, Christo pher Columbus, or Cristoval Colon, as he is called iu Spaiu. It is known that Columbus left two sons, Ferdinand and Dieao; the lormer illegitimate, who inherited uiuchot his father's genius, oi whom he lelt a valuable memoir. The neglect and ingratitude wiih which the great discoverer was treated by King Ferdinand, alter the death of Isabella, is a matter of his tory. His legitimate sou, Dieso, after a long nnd tedious lawoiiil asainst the Crown, obtained a decision from the Council of tiie Indies that he was entitled to the privileges and title3 con ferred upon his father. Dut the cares and anxieties he has undergone in the pursuit of his just claims had done their woik upon his frame, and there is no doubt that trouble, grief, and disappointment hastened his premature death. "He was worn out," Herrata 6ays, "by iollowlng up his claims and defending himself from the calumnies of his competitors, who, with many stratagems aud devices, sought to darken the glory of toe father and the virtue of the son." Diego lutt two-sons and three daughters. His widow con tinued the struggle m defense ot the rights ol her eldest son, Luis, then only six years of age. She left St. Domingo, where she was on the death of her husband, and arrived in Spain. The title of Admiral of the Indies was imme diately conferred upou him by Charles V, who augmented his revenue, but set up opposition to his claim to the Vceroyally of the province ot Veragua, conferred upon his grandfather, w hich was thought too vast lor "a subiect to enforce, and moreover, Involved an intermina ble ntication. The claims were at last commuted for the titles of Duke of Veraaua, Admiral of the Indies, aud Murcpuis of Jamaica. Don Luis left no issue, aud was succeeded by his nephew Dieuo, son of his brother Christopher. Dieso married his cousin Philippa; but he also died wiluuui mm-, nuu nitu mm iui IL'guilllluej 1UU1C line of Columbus became extinct. A long law suit ensued among the surviving members of the family, of whom Balthaser Colombo, of the house ot Cuecaro in Montferrat (Piedinout), was tne most active an i persevering, and who maintained that it was he who had the right to inherit the estates aud dignities acsceuded from the great Admiral. The cause lasted lor thirty years, and was finally decided by the Council ol the Indies in 1008, who iorinallv declared the male line extinct. Wuno Gelves de Portugallo. grandson ot Isabella, third daughter of Diego, son ot Columbus, was put in posses sion oi tno lines ami estates, and became Duke of Veragua, Isabella having mar ried George of Portugal, Count of Gelves : and thus those titles and estates passed into a branch of the house of tSraanza esta blished in Spain. It is from this branch that the Duke whose death is iuet announced was descended. His titles were Don Pedro de Portu gallo. Colon, Duque de Veragua, Marquis de Jamaica, y Aluiiraute do las Indias. The late Duke never figured in public life. It was his pasture grouuds thi.t used to turn out some ot the best bulla for the Madrid arena. The archives of the family were carefully preserved by him, and Washington Irving gratefully ac knowledges the liberality of the descendant and representative of the great discoverer in submit ting them to his inspection, and exhibiting the treasures they contained when lie was collecting materials lor his history of the life and voyages of Christopuer Columbus. Diego, the son ot Columbus, married a niece of the celebrated Duke of Alva of the preat Toledo family, and such an alliance shows the place which the father attained in Spain in his lifetime. .MEDICAL.
