THE steamship Nova Scotian, which
arrived at Baltimore recently, from Liv-
erpool, USa Halifax, reports that at eight
a. N. on the 14th of April, in latitude 40
deg. 20 min, longitude 40 deg. 10 min,
an immense ice-f1eld was met in the At
lantic. The steamship skirted its edge
for five hours, and altered her course to
escape it. From the mast heads, as far
as the eye could reach with the aid of
glasses, an unbroken stretch of ice was
to be seen, extending for many miles.
There were in it many small icebergs
and number of vessels, some of them
long distances from the outer edges, and
seeming to have been caught there 3
long while before. There were a ship.
two barks. brig, and other vessels so
far in they could not be made out. This
ice had come down from the Arctic
regions, and the imprisoned vessels had
doubtless come many miles with it, and
will not be liberated until the warmer
waters of the gulf stream melts them
out. The steamship also reports that
eight American fishing schooners had
been forced to seek refuge in the harbor
OF Halifax, where they were driven by
the heavy fields of floating Arctic ice.
