FROM HALIFA Y.

Halifax, 80. The following are the partic-
ulars of the loss of the steamship Niobe, on
Cape Blanc, Miquelon: The Niobe left this
port for St. Pierre, intending to communicate
with the French naval officer at that place
before proceeding on her fishing cruise. a
thick fog was experienced the whole passage
and in consequence was unable TO reach ST.
Pierre roads. On the goth she came to anchor
on the west side of Sands Neck, joining Lit
tie and Great Miquelon islands, but finding
the anchorage not desirable one from the
state of the weather and thinking it possible
notwithstanding the fog TO reach Miquelor
roads or even st. Pierre, by rounding the
