A SEAMAN DROWNED. Auckland, Yesterday. Samuel Wadsworth, an able seaman on the scow Era, was sweeping the decks as the vessel was entering port on Saturday night, when the fore boom jibbed in a sudden squall, and a rope caught Wadsworth and swept him into the sea, which was running high. A boat was lowered and searched for an hour, but found no trace of the man.

He was riding down the Kent road, when his horse shied and fell, precipitating him with such violence to the ground as to render him unconscious.
