The brig vesta, having on board Col.
Walker and his men, cl- AIRED on Thursday
night about II o'clock, for Realjo, which IS
the only port on the Pacific side which is in
the hands Of the Castillion party. The ex-
petition was to have sailed about two weeks
ago, but the vessel was ibellcd BY the par
ties by whom it was provisioned. A settle
ment was however, made few days ago, and
the u. S. Marshal released the vessel. The
libel was for ST. 500, and the parties who
contracted TO furnish the vessel with supplies
for the voyage first agreed to accept Nicara-
qua stock in paymept for their goods but
afterwards changed their minds, and legal
proceedings was therefore commenced. The
vessel was afterwards attached by the Sher-
if for some other liability, and Deputy
Sheriff was placed on board. On Thurs
day night the Shcriff's Deputy was pacing
the deck, when Colonel Walker came up
and requested him TO come down into the
cabin, IN order that he might show hum some

Last night as the New York train via New
Haven was nearing Worcester, the engineer
suddenly discovered an ohstacle 0nthe track.
It appears that the rails had been s ied up,

The whole train was thrown OF the track, the
engine thrown into q ditch, and six persons
considerably injured.
The attempt to decoy the passenger train is
supposed to have been the work of robbers,
who hoped in the tumult to rob it of q large
amount Of epecie in charge Of Adams 3 Co.'s
messenger. The specie was allrecovered and
safely delivered. & - !. s
