The “Argus” states that another old stager of the Loch fleet, the Loch Ness, has' also changed hands in Melbourne, subject to inspection,; the price paid being £3OOO, equal-to that given for the Loch Lomond. The Loch Ness, which arrived in Melbourne recently from Glasgow with general cargo, has been bought by the German-AustraJian Steamship Co., and will, it is understood, be used as a coal hulk in Adelaide. The Loch Lomond is likewise threatened with a similar fate, unless she should be chosen by the Union Steamship Co. as a training ship, in preference to the Dartfordj which the company also purchased. The Loch Ness is an iron vessel of 1258 tons, and was built in Glasgow thirty years ago. NAPIER, August 18.
