HAMBURGH MAIL.

RIGA, OCT. 6.—A report is again in circulation
that it is intended shortly to issue the third series of
the loan contracted with Strelitz and Co. for the con-
struction of the iron railway from St. Petersburgh to
Moscow. The whole loan is for the sum of forty
millions of silver rubles, to be issued in eight series
of five millions each, of which only two series have
yet been issued. We have hitherto had no satis-
factory account of the progress that has been made
this summer, and a report has even been spread that
the work has been indefinitely deferred. This, how-
ever, can hardly be the case, since, considering how
regular the financial administration of Russia is, it
cannot well be supposed that the produce of the loan
is applied to any other purpose than that officially
announced.
Private letters from St. Petersburgh say, that at
the expiration of the mourning for the Grand
Duchess Alexandria, a distinguished visitor was ex-
pected, for whom the hand of the Grand Duchess
Olga is said to be destined, if the august persons in-
terested should prove agreeable to each other.
VIENNA, OCT. 10.—The investigations respecting
the officers of our navy at Vienna in consequence of
the treasonable conduct of the brothers Bandiera, are
not yet terminated, but seems, on the contrary, to
become more extensive. More witnesses, and persons
inculpated, are summoned and examined. The cap-
tain of the ship of the line, who succeeded Admiral
Bandiera in the command of our squadron in the
Levant, is also recalled.

Tuesday was the last day of the season for the
Tweed salmon fishing; the fish have this last week been
taken in much greater numbers, but the greater part of
them were not fit to send to market. The prices of clean
fish have been from 6d to 7d. per lb. ; black fish and kip-
pers, 2d. to 4d. Tho Spittal fishers have commenced
their usual system of night poaching, which they carry
on to a great extent in defiance of the water bailiffs ;
this illegal fishing, it appears, will never be done away,
unless Government place the fisheries under the protec-
tion of the Coast Guard.—Newcastle Advertiser.

Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial
