SCARBOROUGH.—On the evening of the 14th June a schooner bound for Searborough was sighted about five miles off.

Two pilot boats went off to her, and whilst they were out the sea, which was very strong, increased considerably, and as it was observed that one of the cobles appeared to be in danger, and it was doubtful whether she would be able to regain the shore, it was considered desirable to despatch the Life-boat Queensbury to her assistance. The coble's crew of four men were taken into the Life-boat and their boat was towed safely into the harbour..
