A Missing Steamship.

Indications that the Siberian has been Wrecked. >'ew Yokk, June 3.— Despatches to the " Tribune " eeem to indicate that the Allan line steamer Siberian, now ten days out from Halifax for St. John s, has been lost, though it is possible that she may have proceeded to Liverpool after finding that the ice would prevent making St. John"*,. The "Tribune's" St. John's despatch says that the schooner Alice Carter, from Cape Breton, reports having passed a three masted steamer on Wednesday, her masthead barely visible above the fog, blowing a gongUke steam whistle every five minutes and discharging rockets, The wind was south at the time. The fog was dense, and icebergs were seen in every direction. Suddenly, when the Alice Carter was about a mile from the eteamer, and dead to leeward, a crash was heard, the whistle ceased to blow, and no more rockets were seen. It was perfectly calm by this time, and the fog was so dense that the captain of the schooner could not attempt to render assistance. The position of the steamer was about nineteen miles east of Cape Race.
