PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Sept. 15.—A treaty was not long since
concluded between the United States Government
and Prussia, as well as some other German States,
for the reciprocal delivery of individuals convicted,'
under judges' warrants, of certain criminal offences.
A case has recently occurred where the efficacy of
the convention has been tested, by the American
Government having assented to deliver up to Prus-
sia a person named Sachs, who robbed the Breslau
bank to a large amount, and fled to the United
States. A commencement having been thus made,
and the effect of a rigid execution of the treaty being
equally advantageous in a moral sense to the United
States and to Germany, it is to be hoped that no
impediments will henceforth be thrown in the way
by the local American authorities. The States of
the Union surely cannot desire to augment its po-
pulation by converting the soil as heretofore into
a refuge for the scum of the old world. Better au
admixture of squaw or even negro blood in Ame-
rican posterity than that darkened by every species
of crime.

The Zollverein ordinary conference will open to-
morrow At Darmatacli. Frani& will be represented

id
by M. Hennig, Privy Councillor of Finance. It
understood that the conference will not occupy
itself with any matters connected with the, tariffs;
so that the meeting will be devoid of external is'
terest, although probably Belgium will avail her-
self of the assembly to put in propositions
ring to her commercial relations and the gene
of a treaty.
