AusrRALAsIA-OuR AMERICAN TnADE.-Our
latest news from Australasia by the steamship
Olympia is exceedingly interesting Among
the many items of interest must be noted our
growing trade with the Australian colonies.
fOf thirty or forty ships which had sailed from
the colonial ports within sixty days at least
two-thirds were American. This is o good
and hopeful sign. BY way of San Francisco
the growing wealth Of the Australian colonies
and Of the Southern seas generally must find
ts way to this country. We notice with
some satisfaction the fact that the Legislative
Assembly of New South Wales has agreed by
a vote of 20 to 2 to aid a line of mail steamers
to San Francisco Under certain conditions
the Webb line has fair chance of obtaining
this promised help. In those Southern seas
there is new and undeveloped world of
wealth. 1t is for us to cultivate it as best we

MARSHAL BAZAINE's TRIAL.
Important Facts Likely to Como to Light from the
Investiga Charge and Punishment.
lfllGtAM 10 Tue ksw YORK HERALD.

PARIS Sept. IS, 1872.
1t Is reported that the trial OF Marshal Bazatne
has brought to light facts OF great gravity.
The Charges Before the Court and Law OF
Marshal Bazalne stands in q most critical posi-
tlon even as regards the safety Of his life before
the French cOurtma, tial 1t is charged that the
9th OF October, 1870 Bazaine surrendered the for
tifcations of Metz, with the munitions of there
collected 600 soldiers and 5000 officers, includ
ing three Marshals of France, to the Prussian army
commanded by Prince Frederick Charles, and that
he did 80 unnecessarily.
French decree of the 18th OF October, 1868, still
In FORCE says article 255) -
The commander Of any military post must not
forget that military laws condemn to death with
military degradation such commander who capitu-
lates without having forced the enemy to enter
his works by the slow and successive stages OF q
siege, and before having repOuSse az 'nOinS an
0SS0M az corps de la place sur deS 6Teohes pratt
cables.
Marshal Bazaine did not carry out either OF these
admonitions, which no French commander under
penalty Of death with military degradation should
fail to remember
Bazaines punishment II found guilty is death.
Thus the man two years ago accounted the greatest
commander, and the most fortunate officer in the
French army, will now have to do battle for his life
before the 1rst council or war.

MERCANTILE FAILURES IN BALTIMORE. -
Several failures are reported among what have
been considered the soundest, as they were the
heaviest commercial firms in Baltimore. A
large decline in the value of coffee, consequent
upon the recent reduction in duty, is pointed
at as the cause Of the disaster, though the de-
tails of the matter hardly seem to bear out that
assumption. All the suspended firms were in
rtimately connected; the failure of one crippled
the others and the whole circle have been CON-
PEELED to stop. There was no precipitancy in
the removal of duty from coffee, which had
long been generally demanded, and prudent
dealers had ample opportunity to guard against
loss by the decline in price. If these Balti-
more importers have suffered to any consider
able extent from this cause it would appear
that they must have failed to exercise ordinary
business sagacity But even if they have thus
suffered for their own folly their case illus
&rates the danger Of frequent notifications of
tho tariff. which unsettle values and derange
the currents of trade. Stability of imposts
allows dealers the opportunity to extend their
plans into the future and calculate with Ger
aainty about prospective values, while the liza
bility 70 frequent and great changes in the
tariff reduces mercantile ventures to game of
chance.

The gentlemen OF the Court of Arbitration re-
turned to Geneva during the evening to-day.
They express themselves highly gratiied at their

The dinner given in their honor by the Swiss
government last night was attended by the Presi-
dent OF the Republic. the members Of the Federal
Council and the entire ,:'iplomatc body ofBerne
In the speeches exchanged on the occasion there
was a marked tone OF satisfaction at the happy
conclusion of the work of arbitration and the
achievement Of a result which, the speakers said,
was bound to have such powerful influence for
good, not only on the two countries more imme-
diately concerned, but on all civilized nations.
This feeling was more freely and definitely ex-
pressed than at the dinner In Geneva on Saturday
night, when uncertainty may have still existed as
to the form OF the decision and the unanimity Of
the Court on the main points at issue.
It was evident last night that all uncertainty had
