GERMAN AND BRUSSELS PAPERS

BERLIN, MARCH 9.—On the first of this month the Tribunal
passed its sentence on the young men who have been in prison
here for these two years. Above 40 sentences were passed,
which condemn the guilty to imprisonment for one, six, and
twenty years. An agreeable report has, however, been circu-
lated, that his Majesty intends to exercise a great act of Royal
clemency.
AmENs, FEn. 18.—On the subject of the Administration
of Criminal Justice in Greece, the following report of the Pro-
curator of the Court of Appeal at. Tripolizza, to the Minister
of Justice, is interesting.
" On the 23d of December ended the first period of the
Criminal tribunal of this place. 42 persons were tried, of
whom 14 were condemned, 22 acquitted, 3 relieved from the
punishment, by virtue of article 378 of the penal code, and in
3 cases we have required the recommencement of the proceed-
ings, according to article 33 of the same code. For the next
meeting of the Court, there remain 5 actions against 10 per-
sons, which it was necessary to defer on legal grounds ; 6
against 13 persons, which have been but a short time pending ;
and 16 against persons who have absconded, and the time fixed
for whose surrendering themselves expires in January or Fe-
bruary next. Of the jurymen chosen by ballot, only 14 ap-
peared. The citizens, however, who, according to article
63 of the Organization of the Courts of Justice, were
summoned to make up the• number wanting, manifested
very great readiness in fulfilling the duties of jurymen,
but as they were obliged to neglect their domestic affairs for a
length of time, they became indifferent. In general, the
jurymen manifested sufficient ability in judging of the guilt
or innocence of the accused ; but at the same time, a great
aversion to capital punishments, and to imprisonment in irons
for life. They also appeared to be too indulgent in cases of
crimes from which no person had suffered any actual loss or
injury—for instance, when a person robbed received his pro-
perty ; or in cases of a crime in which criminal action was not
accompanied by circumstances indicating natural depravity in
the criminal. In all these cases they seemed to consider the
imprisonment already endured as a sufficient punishment. We
have, however, notwithstanding what we have remarked, all
reason to be satisfied with the proceedings."

Ii:ILF-PAST ONE.

To the present period we have a great dearth of intelligence
in the City, and we do not hear of any further arrivals either
from the Continent or Peninsula, which causes a dullness in
the operations in the funds.
The American Papers have not as yet been received of the
Ist inst., and the private letters are stated to be of little im-
portance in respect to political news.
Consols are not quite so good as in the morning, and may be
quoted at 91i for the Account-91 for Money.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active Bonds contir!te
heavy, which is not owing to any unfavourable accounts being
received from Spain. Spanish Active, 45k ; Portuguese,
