7 The London News Of the 18th contains
a letter from St. Petersburg which makes
/ the following remarkable disclosure: s-l
The result Of the calculations recently
made BY theswell known astronomer, Prof.
Strive, of the University Of Dorpat, relative
to the true Geographical positions of ST.
Petersburg and Moscow, and the distance
between the two capitals Of the empire,is,
THAT 'theactuaf length of the railroad is, BY
astronomical observations, no less than ssaa
wersts (about 80 miles) shorter than its
nominal fength 6O7 werstS, or in other
words, thatthe government, for whose ac
count the railroad was constructed, has had
to pay about one seventh Of the value, or
one million rubles more than it ought TO
ilavepaid! As the rolling stock ofthe StPe
tersburg and Moscow Railway is furnished
,byian American company, WHO are paid
for the.saia,e atsse mueh.per ewerst, Il fol-
lows that in this quarter the government
have been paying also a most fearful over
charge. The poles erected along tho kne

to nisleadZ both The government and the
public . q! qoiz oi n9.s''si 1at .h.''l5 9dl

and !gave'immediate- e-orders for the stric,est
investigation intothefacts of'theI case TO
be made, with theyiew tosnfiict the most
summary punishment on the parties iticul-
-patedi in the nefalious transaction; bnt as
so'many persons of the highest rank and
importance are compromisedini the affair,
it is not likely that the Investigation will
be continued, but on the contrary the mat

scandal of the real delinquints being. expo

deserve, for the share they have taken in

The rumor got wind that the Indianians
were about to burn the town and tlrat they
were five hundresd strong, when commit

in an agreement to draw off Indiana forces,
when Bell should be produced, his bail fix
