SAVED FROM DRowSTNG.-Last evening,
about eleven o'clock, Capt. William Leland
and Mr.. Richard II. Anderson, who were on
board a vessel at Long wharf, heard cries OF
distress from person overheard. They i'm
mediately started for the place from which the
sound proceeded, and found at the end OF
Portland pier, Hugh Ross, Scotchman, in
the dock, holding on to one of the piers of the
wharf, and almost exhausted. They immedi-
ately rescued him from his perilons position,
and conveyed him to the City MarshaIs Of
flee, where he was taken care of for the night
1t is supposed Ross fell overheard while in a
state OF intoxication. He could have contin-
ued in the situation in which he was found
but few moments longer, as his strength
had entirely failed him.
