THE Baloaxos or THE Arms.—The trial of the
five brigands who obtained such notoriety some months ago
owing to their arrest at Genoa on board the French steamer
Amos, commenced at Santa Maria. near Comm. on the 24th
nit. The proceedings, it was thought, would last fully a
week. The prisoners are accused of murders and robberies,
and owing to the formidable evidence in support of these
charges which has been adduced, their demeanour is said
to have very much changed since the trial commenced. It
was thought likely that they would ultimately confess their
guilt. The reports of the case at present published possess
but little interest.

A LATE COCRT•MARTIAL—We regret to have to
state that Mr. Piing, the purveyor's clerk, whose trial by
oourt-miu..ial we had OCCA44OO to report a few weeks since,
wee yesterday placed in the lunatic ward of the Royal
Military Hospital, Phomir-nark. A military 000teroporarr
has just announced that the sentence upon this unfortunate
officer we. to be a simple reprinmad. He has bees, how-
ever. fearful unished, io the melancholy malt which we
have roentioaed above.—Dallis Brennan Mail.

RICRICITING FOR THE FIADZILAIAIIN GRIAMANY.
Liverpool has been for the last few days the rendesvona of
a large number of Germans who have been enlisted in this
country and the German states for service in the Federal
aamy. A large number—upwards of 150—Germaos wired
in Liverpool from Hull on Friday last, and they are now
billeted at the various Gemini boarding-houses kills'
bonrhood of St. Paurs-square, preparatory to leaving Liver-
pool on Thursday next for the American States. Nearly all
these men have seen active service, many of them having
bee. members of the German legion at the Cape of Good
Hope, and all bearing good conduct discharges. Some of •
the men have already received as much as 100 dots. in
boost, money. We understand that another batch of
Germans arrived in Liverpool from Hull yesterday, and
were at once conveyed by American "agents" to the respec-
tive depots in the town.
STECTLECHAK6B •T La MALCIII. —The racing
season of the present year in Fleece commenced on Sun-
day, at the above-named place, node, excellent auspices.
The unsettled state of the weather in the morning con-
ridered, the attendance was large, while the number of
horses which took part in the different contests was un-
usually great. The fact is worthy of mention, as showing
the wide extension which racing is acquiring in France,
that while in previous years the horses which took part
in a day's steeplechasing were rarely from more than
a dozen or fifteen 'tables: yesterday's card ooriteloed
the names of not lase thee 38 owners, of whom 30 started
horses in the various events. Some little confusion was
experienced from the great imilarity in the colours worn,
in one race not Imo than four Pietism riding for different
owners, wearing blue pickets and dark rd or black caps,
between which at a short distance it is impossible to dis-
tinguish. This inconvenience might be easily obviated by
the exercise of a little ingennity.—Gafignani.
