This day.
One of the through passengers by the City of New York had a narrow escape of losing his passage. He is one of the staff in charge of a quantity of stock on board the steamer for Sydney. On coming ashore he yielded to the social pleasures of the city, and got " run.in.". for being drunk. About eight d'clock last night, just before the steamer sail d, he was bailed out. There was not a moment to lose, so he was obliged to,take a cab/ and on reaching the end of the wharf the City had swung off from the wharf about a dozen yards. Calling for a rope to be thrown to him from the ship he fastened it round his waist and leaped off the wharf into the sea. He was safely hauled on board amidst the cheers of the crowd on the wharf, who anxiously watcned his plucky act. The Eev. Hodgson, formerly a Free Methodist minister here, and subsequently minister to the Lome street unsectarian congregation, has joined the Church of England at Christchureh, and has been appointed to a suburban parish where he once labored as a methodise.
