NEW PLYMOUTH.
April 12. Last evening the passenger train from Ngaire to New Plymouth had a nprrow escape. On arriving near Inglewood some firewood fell from a truck, and got amongst the wheels, throwing the other trucks off the line just as the train crossed the bridge known as tbe second Ngatara bridge, about a mile and a half from Inglewood. The sleepers of the bridge were torn up till the train stopped. The fore part of the train was then disconnected, and came on into town without further impediment, except running over a fine bullock.
