The accident was occasioned by a cross-tie,

aud endeavoring 70 make mp, gradually. The
locomotive came in 10 collision with this bea m
or cross-tie with such force that IL was com
plstely reversed, and thrown OF the track on
Its side. The lender was also jerked of the
rack, one corner OF 1T remaini on the rail !;
the baggage ear, by the inp peias, was carried
quite beyond the locomotive aud tender and
overturned, and the first passenger Car fol-
lowing IL, mad the lett side completely torn
away, while the other side Was but litt'e in

THE EXECUTION OF GENERAL WALKER In
/ fsrsSting ParticRtars.-A letter trJm Truxiiio,
dated 18th ult, and published in the Havana
Diario de ia Marina gives fuller account Of
the execution of Gen. Walker than that 1e-
ceived by way Of New Orleans. The great
f1llibuster and his party arrived there on the
9Th, as prisoners, on the Icarns. The letter
says:
On disembarking the English force formed
line in front, while The Hondurans were in
TWO ranks, between which the prisoners were
placed. With the exception of some few of
the fiiibus,ers, all the rest looked like so
many corpses, and some were in an almost
dying state. With their sad and woe. begone
expression, they seemed TO be cursiDg the
leader who had brought them to such an ex-
tremity.
Tnu march on entering was slow and
solemn. Walker, AT the head of his men,
dressed with much simplicity, marches, keep
ing time To the Delt OF Inc drum, aud was lte
OBJECT upon which every eye was fixed. AS
soon as he entered the prison he Eas placed in
heavy irons, and betng asked if he needed any =
thlng, replied but with one word-"water."
Soon afterwards he sent for The chaplain of
this port, and, declaring his faith as a Roman
Catholic, kneit at the feet Of the priest, il
front OF small altar, on which the glimmer-
Ing light OF some candles family discovered an
image OF the Saviour. Amongst other things
he said to the chaplain. Il am resigned TO die
my political career is finished"
On the ilth inst. at seven o'clock In the
evening, Walker was informed of the sentence
OF death passed upon him, and his only reply
10 the fatal messenger was his asking ut what
hour he would be exc Ited, and IL he should
nave time 10 write. .-e.
On the ~ b, at eight O'Clock in the morning,
the condemned man was marched to the place
of execution. He went with crucifix in his
hand without looking at any one and listen :
Ing 10 the psalms which the priest was reciL-
ing 10 him. He entered the SO uare, where, al
the place of execution, the Troops were drawn
up, and there, full OF resgnati Jn, begged leave
" addr SIS the people in these few words:
~ declare myself to be mem Der OF the Ro-
man Catholic Church. l declare that l have
injured The people of Ho lduras 10 Il great ex-
tent, being led 10 do so by the people OF the
island OF Ruatan, who. aftei calIing lne, de.
ceived me and lett me To my tate ask pardon
for those poor men tnat accompanied me, foI
they are not as guilty as am. Ii my life can
be of any benefit 10 society. l tay 1t down Win
the greatest readiness, paroopIDg my Judges
that may be enabled TO obtain my pardon in
the next world .4
He died with extraordinary coolnes. His re.
mains were placed in CO iii .ia rest in peace

er's execution, the American Schcouer John +
Taylor, with reinforcement for him of men a Lc
arms, arrived in ibe bay, bat coon after wards
disappeared, PEI haps III conseQ ue nee of having
