SPAIN.

Accounts from Madrid, dated the 4th instant, announce
that General Narvaez had resigned, that his resignation
had been accepted, and that the following appointments
had taken place :--M. Isturitz, President of the Council
and Minister of Foreign Affairs; M. Armero, Minister
of Marine; M. Egana to remain as Minister of Justice;
M. Mon, Minister of Finance.
It was reported that the real cause of the crisis was,
the unwillingness of the late Ministers to agree to a pro-
positio❑ made by Egala and Pezuela, for the immediate
marriage of the Bueen with the son of Don Carlos. The
law on the subject of time-bargains was merely put for-
ward as the excuse. Generals Concha, Cordova, Ros de
Olano, and Araoz had, on the 2nd, after some delay, ob-
tained their passports, and were preparing to leave Spain
without delay. Gonzalez Bravo, who had resigned his
embassy to Lisbon, had arrived in Madrid.
Orders were sent to Corunna on the 2nd to place the
brig-of•war Constitution at the disposal of the Infante
Don Enrique, to whom it was intimated that he had better
lose no time in setting out on his travel. The Infante
accordingly embarked immediately, and, on the sth, ar-
rived at Gocoa, and immediately proceeded to St. Jean
de Luz. He was expected to arrive at Bayonne in the
evening. His father, Don Francisco de Paula, held a
levee at Madrid on the 2nd, which was brilliantly at-
tended.

General O'Donnell has been reca!led from Cuba, and
Gener,l Roncali has been appointed Governor of the
island.

On the 22d ult., a vessel freighted to carry 35 horses,
belonging to the gendarmes, from Bona to Algiers, struck
during stormy weather on the mole of the latter place,
and foundered. All the horses and gendarmes perished.
The Nehant, of Boston, Captain Funnall, a ship of
400 tons burthen register, from Ghent, bound to Texas,
having on board 150 passengers as emigrants, among whom
were 50 children, and the remaining part men and women,
many of them aged persons, was driven ashore in Torbay,
near Brixham, last week, and has become a total wreck.
The crew and passengers were saved.

AN AWKWARD DISCOVERY.—ROIDC is at present the
scene of a strange rumour. As very influential persons
have a great interest in concealing the affair, it will be
difficult to discover the truth. It appears that on the re-
opening of the Argentina Theatre, there was found, in one
of the most remote boxes of the last class, the corpse of a
young lady in a domino, already in a state of putrefaction,
and bearing marks of several poniard stabs. She must
have been assassinated during the last carnival, since
which period the theatre has been closed.—Brussels paper.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—A dreadful accident occurred
last week at \Verden, near Sarrobruck. A ferry-boat
containing about 50 persons of all ages, men, women and
children, and two carts with their horses, all returning
from market, suddenly went down in the river Sarre, and
only six men were saved. The primary cause of the acci-
dent was the breaking of the chain which allowed the boat
to float down with the current. The women then began
to scream, which frightened the horses, and the latter
bearing too much to one side caused the boat to fill and
then go down.= Treves Gazette.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE —papers from this colony to
the 14th Feb., inclusive, bring intelligence to the effect
that the Kafirs seriously meditate an attack upon Graham's
Town. Thn inhabitants of the colony were thrown into
a state of great consternation by the reported threat, and
the Lieutenant-Governor put the troops in motion to
guard against any such attack, while the inhabitants de-
termined to patrol and protect the town, relieving each
other at stated intervals. The Governor had also issued
a proclamation, and by the latest accounts it appears that
the excitement of the settlers had abated, and less fears
were entertained for the peace of the district.
