Herring. — On the 2d of May 2,000,000 herring were received from 

 the steamer Fish Hawk for distribution. These were forwarded with a 

 shipment of shad to the Colorado River, and deposited at Austin, Tex., 

 May 16. The results of this effort to introduce herring into the Colo- 

 rado will be looked forwarded to with much interest.
