from Albany, for Brighton, was passing the
Charles River bridge, yesterday morning, be-
TWEEN II and II o'clock, one car left the track
and was precipitated into the river, and anoth
er was partly thrown over, resting on the side
of the bridge. 1t supposed to have been caus-
ed by broken frog. The $40 train from this
city (Hapgood's) was detained about two hours

very serious loss. The strong new bridge was
uninjured, indeed hardly shaken.
