SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.

The schooner Advance, Captain Osborne, sailed from
New York, on August 7, for Portland, with a very valu-
able cargo of tea, flour, and pork. The crew and pas-
sengers consisted of Captain Osborne, his lady, and two
children, of Edgartown, Massachusetts, Mr. Pease, (for-
merly of Edgartown, but lately a merchant of New York),
his lady, and son ; Mr. Lindsey, of Boston, and Mr. Ti-
mothy Kingsley, of Maine—together with a crew of five
men. On Friday, the second day out, the weather was
rather unpleasant, and there was much complaining of sick-
ness among the passengers and seamen. Mr. Pease was
taken very sick, all the medical aid which could possibly
be had under the circumstances was rendered ; but the
unfortunate gentleman constantly grew worse, and the next
day died, and was buried in the sea. On Sunday evening
Mr. Lindsey (whose lady we understand is now in Provi-
dence), and Mr. Wells (the mate), and the steward, and
cabin boy, all complained of being very sick.. The follow-
ing morning, Captain Osborne, feeling unwell himself, run
the vessel in towards the shore and anchored near Sweezy's
Landing (Long Island). He then took his own family,
and the bereaved family of his friend Mr. Pease (deceased)
into his small boat ; and, accompanied by Mr. Kingsley,
and the two well seamen, went to shore. Mr. Wells, Mr.
Lindsey, the steward, and cabin boy, were at this time so
sick that they were insensible of their situations, and it was
thought best to leave them as comfortable as possible, until
the boat should return from the shore with assistance to
take them from the vessel. And when the boat returned,
the four persons who had been left on board in the last
stage of a painful disease, had died, and they were buried in
the ocean. Those who succeeded in getting to land went
up to a farm house near by, where everything was done
which could be done to make them comfortable. Captain
Osborne's illness increased, and notwithstanding the care
of dear friends, and of a physician, he died on Tuesday.—

We have been informed the cholera has made its
appearance in the city of Lincoln, but at the same time we are
happy to contradict such statement ; no particulars of any oc-
currence have reached us.—Stamford News.

The circumstances attending the discovery of
Thomas Rae, the young man who absconded from the house of
Messrs. Alston and Co , of Glasgow, were somewhat remark-
able. Ellis, the officer, was in search of the young man
charged with having stolen the property of Sir Charles Forbes.
He received information on the previous night that a young
man answering the description of the latter was in the boxes
of the English Opera House, and on proceeding there thought
he recognised the young man who had robbed Messrs. Alston,
and of whose person he had received a description. He waited
antil the performances were over, when the prisoner left the
Theatre with two females. He followed them into the Strand,
where they got into a cab, and drove in the direction of Wa-
terloo Bridge. He jumped into another and dprfoovlleodwetdo them
