The ship City of Auckland, from London, bound for Napier, with railway material and 240 adult immigrants, is ashore near the mouth of the Otaki river. The vessel came ashore about nine o'clock last night, in a heavy northeast gale. Great excitement appears to prevail amongst the passengers, who are throwing boxes, etc., overboard. The lifeboat came ashore in charge of the second mate, and every endeavour to land the passengers is being made.
