[ Incident of the Lost Atlantic. — The Boston Times relates the following incident of the lost Atlantic : — When about mid-ocean a curious incident ocourred, which, if true, as related to our reporter, is very unaccountable. The steerage passengers say that afc about that point on the voyage two or three of the passengers declared, as if gifted with the spirit of prophecy, that the ship and all on board would be lost. They kept repeating the prediction, packed their carpetbaga, and went on deck to watch for chance passing vessels, saying that they were going to leave her, as they were sure she was doomed to destruction. The captain then intervened, and locked them up aa madmen, and when the prediction thoy had made in their supposed insanity received ita fearful fulfilment, they, it ia said, perished in their confinement.
