THE LOST STEAMER.


HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. 22-The steamer
Hungarian was wrecked on Cape Ledge, half
mile off shore from Cape Sable, which is au
island some five miles outside of Cape Sable
Island, and twelve miles from Darlington tele
graph office, The latest accounts state that
no one had been able to search the wreck,
which is only seen at low water. The gale
and heavy rain, this morning, have interrupted
telegraphic communication with Darlington,
and prevented the departure of the revenue
cutter. English papers say the Hungarian
had large and valuable cargo, and the spring
stock of the Canada traders, and about 35
passengers but names not given.
HALIFAX, Feb. 22--EUening. -There is no
later news from the wreck of the Hungarian.
The agent of the associated press goes to the
scene Of the disaster tomorrow, in the reve-
nue. cutter Daring.
HALIFAX, Feb. 23.-The weather is thick
and torbiddng. The sea is in great commo-
ton, and is running very stormily, and, there
fore, the revenue cutter Daring has not yet
sailed There is no further intelligence from
the wreck, and none is likely to come to hand,
tonight.
