The Ariel puts back

NEW YORK, April 17. – The brig Demand, from Aspinwall, March 31st, reports that the steamship Ariel, from New York, arrived at Aspinwall on that day with her machinery damaged. This fact may account for her non-arrival at this port from thence with the California mails and passengers, as she is now some days over due.
