• A:narrow escape from drowning took place in the river on Saturday, says the Grey Argils of the 22nd inst. As Mr. Millar, of the Bank of New South Wales, was wadding on the old wharf, opposite Albert-street, his foot caught in one of the numerous holes; and he fell into the river. A blacksmith, working close alongside, • observed the. accident, and . jumped into the river ; but the drowning man caught hold of him, and struggled so much that both were nearly gone, when Mr. Howie, junri," am experienced swimmer, jumped in to the rescue, arid succeeded in bringing both men ashore. We are glad to say that none of the parties are any the worse for their ducking.
