The brig Halifax, Capt. O'Brien, which arrived at this port yesterday from Halifax, 6th inst., brought no additional information in regard to the ship Staffordshire. The Captain states, however, that some of the crew of the unfortunate ship had been send to the hospital for medical treatment, as they were badly frost-bitten. The Halifax passed near the scene of the late disaster, but no vestiges of any wreck were seen. The Staffordshire undoubtedly went down soon after striking the rocks.
