It appeared that deceased, while in a state of intoxication on Tuesday last, plunged into the water off the wharf, having been dared thereto by certain bystanders, and that he was saved by the exertions of the mate and other parties from the Rose steamer, which was then at the wharf. Subsequently he was taken ill, at the above house, of inflammation of the lungs, and died on Saturday morning last. A verdict of death from natural causes was returned.
