WHITBY.—On the 5th January, the Life-boat Robert Whitworth was launched at 10.40 P.M., and rescued the crew, consisting of 22 persons, from the s.s. Oscar, of Leith, which vessel had struck off the Whitby Rocks during thick weather and in a heavy sea, and had sunk. On the following morning the boat again went off to the steamer, taking the captain, who brought ashore various articles, the vessel being on the point of becoming a total wreck. She was on a voyage from Shields to Cadiz, with a cargo of coal, fire-clay, and bricks.
