NEWS FROM CENTRAL AMERICA

(From the Panama Star and Herald of Tune 3.)
We have recently received various and very conflicting
accounts respecting the successes and reverses of Walker's
army in Nicaragua, and we have been only able therefore
to give such accounts for what they were worth. Of one
fact we have been assured from the most reliable source,
that is, that the Eurydice never blockaded Greytown,
al!hough she examined several vessels entering that port,
principally, we believe, at the reqnyst of the agent of the
Transit Comnany, There appears no doubt of Walker's
retreat from Rivas, after a heavy loss, both on his part and
that of the Costa Ricans.

The latest intellizence informs us that Walker was in
Virgin Bay with 700 men, about to invade Costa Rica;
that he had 200 men in Grenada, end GOO elsewhere; that
his force consisted altogether of 1,000 foreigners, and about
500 natives ; and that owing to the privations they were
undergoing there was a great deal of dissatisfacrion among
his troops. This is the sum total of what we have been
able to gather by the 13ritish steamer recently arrived from
Greytown,

The same paper has also the following :
By a recent arrival from La Union, we learn that the
Central American States had at length formed a coalition to
oppose General Walker, and that. 3,000 troops from Guate-
mala, 2,000 from Salvador, and 1,000 from Honduras were
actually in march for Nicaragua.
These forces are to loin Costa Rica* in which event we
see little chance for Walker's party. There is, however,
one opening for him, of which be probably will avail him-
self. He is already aware that the British man of war Pre-.
sident had sailed from Punta Arenas, leaving that port
unprotected, and he may therefore seize the Sierra Norede,
and tr nsport his troops to that point, where he could doubtless
effect an easy landing. Once on shore, he has a grand field
for pillage before him, and he could, in all probability,
reach unopposed the plains of San Jose, where, with lots of
suppli, s at his command, he could maintain himself for a
length of time_ We trust, however, he will not succeed
even thin far, for although certain of defeat afterwards, i;
would, in the meanwhile, have an opportunity of inflicting
an almost irreparable amount of damage on Costa Rica.

WRECK OF T SHIP PALL S-SEVENTY-
TWO LIVES LOST.

HALIFAX, NOVA-SCOTIA, June 14, 1856,—The 813;p
Pallas, Captain Spillane, from Cork to Qoehec, with one
hundred and twenty passengers, sighted the coast of C 'pe
Breton on the morning of the 30th of May. In the after-
noon it was discovered that the compasses varied from one
another, and the course of the vessel was then slimed
between Cape North and St. Paul's. At ten p.m , she
struck on the breakers at St. Paul's and bilged, the sea
washing over her. The passengers became panic-stricken,
and rushed into the boats, which sunk almost immediately.
Seventy-two persons were thus drowned. In the morning
the superintendent of the island sent off boats, and rescued
the remaining passengers. A vessel has left Sydney to con-
vey them to Quebec. The ship is a total loss.
