LISBON, FEB. 27.
(Per Alhambra, via Southampton.)
- The resignation of 'fillip Horta, Minister for
Public Works, has been accepted. He is supposed
to have resigned in consequence of some misunder-
standing respecting the mcent recomposition of the
Ministry.
The portfolio of the tbove department is tempo-
l'arilY held by the Marcuis de Loule.
, The new Premier conmands a small majority in
the Chamber of Deputies, but can scarcely count
11Pan the peers.
Little surprise woull be felt if the Marquis Sal-
-44114 were called upcn to form a new Cabinet.
appointment of Senhor Lobo d'Avilla as
Minister of Finance toes not give general satisfac-
tion, and the funds aie somewhat depressed.

It is expected that the long agitated question of
the Sisters of Charity will again be brought before
the Cortes.
The conversion of 3onvent property into Govern-
ment stock is progressing, but the measure is re-
garded with mistrust, and has not up to the
present benefitted tie public funds.
Her
Majesty's ship Investigator arrived here
this morning.
The weather has been very tempestuous lately.
Several disasters have occurred on the coast and in
the Tagus.
Trade is exceedingly bad. Political changes, the
death_ of Dora Pedro, the American difficulty, and
/he rigorous winter, have all concurred to stop
'business.

SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 5.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Alhambra, Capt. Steward, with the above mails,
has arrived here.
She brings 14 passengers, £2,533 in specie, and a
cargo of 815 packages of merchandise.

A Lisbon journal, La Verzte Industrielle, states
that some men employed in digging a well at Seville some
days since, found a flight of st-ps, at the end of which was
a door. This they soon burst open, and entered a vaulted
room, the ce ling of which was supported by six pillars. At
the foot of these lay four mummified human bodies attached
by a chain. One of them was a barefooted monk. The
shoes of the other three were in a good state of preservation.
The clothes were all in the style of the last century, but all
Totten, with the exception of one garment, which was silk.
It is supposed that this room was one of the dungeons of
Inquis Lion, and that the four prisoners had been starved
to death.
A double crime of a very unusual and desperate
character was committed at Otley, on Sunday morning. It
,a,PPea, a that the family of a farmer were aroused early in
the morning in consequence of their barns being on fire,
whilst the whole of them were engaged in putting out
lecl
r. fire, some scoundrels broke into the farmhouse and
fireled of all the property they could lay hands on. The
r
was a very destructive one. It is supposed, and not un-
asonably, that the burglars first fired the barn in order to
take off the attention of the people of the house.
