From Norfolk.

[Special Dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch.]
Norfolk, January 27.
--Information was received here to-night, which seems entirely reliable, that from 25 to 30 gun-boats were in Pamlico Sound. The people of Elizabeth City, Edenton, &c., were sending away the women and children, and servants. One family arrived here this evening from Elizabeth City.

The Federal steamship Niagara arrived in the Roads to-day, and it is supposed she brings news from the Burnside fleet.

The French steamer Poneone will sail in two or three days. Her officers came up to this city this evening.

Reliable information, from passengers by flag of truce, states that the bay steamer Louisiana was certainly lost, and all on board (about 800) perished. It is believed that many other vessels of the fleet were lost, with a large loss of life.

The Federal steamship Pensacola sailed from Hampton Roads this evening, bound South.
