THE PROCEEDINGS AT FRANKFORT. FRAITIEFORT-ON-THE-11A1201, Amos? 21 The Conference of the Princes opened at 11 o'clock this morning. It is expected that decisive resolutions will be arrived at. The newspaper report that the Emperor's speech was altered before publication is officially declared entirely devoid of foundation. The letter of refusal of the Kieg of Prussia was addressed to the Emperor of Austria. At to-day's sitting of the Conference of Princes the reply of the King of Prussia declining the invi tation to be present thereat was read. The diffe rent points were then discussed, and the result being in favour of the project of reform, there is a prospect that an understanding will be arrived at. Yesterday Austria addressed a memorial to all the cabinets connected with the Conference, relative to the beet mesas to be adopted to hasten the ne gotiatioes. It is reported that the question of the directorate has already bey discumed and decided upon. The sittings of the Conference in future will be held daily. In to-day's sitting of the Assembly of popular delegates the proposals et the committee relative to the Holstein question were adopted. FRANKFORT.ON-THE-MAINE, Aucarr 23. At the sitting of the Congress of Princes yester day some of the articles of the Austrian project of reform were discussed. The first article was adopted unanimously after some opposition on the part of the Duke of Oldenburg, whose arguments were replied to at length by the Duke of Saxe Co• burg Gotha. Several other articles were discussed and adopted. Bavaria, Saxony, and Hanover, strongly advo cated reforms being granted in accordance with the propositions of Austria. The nest sitting of the Congress will take place to-morrow. MII2fICH. AuGuerr 23. At the special sitting of the House of Represen tatives yesterday, the president of the chamber de livered a speech, in which he called upon the members to avail themselves of the opportunity of *bowing that they unanimously approve the exer- Aiwa of the sovereigns to bring about Germar, unity. The house gave three cheers for the princes as• eenibled at Frankfort. FRANKFOSTON-THEMAINE, Auover 23. The Frankfort Journal of today Publishes the Prussian daspakth of the 14th Mat, of which the essential portion appeared in an article in the Shratsanzeiger of the 17th. The only new point* that Prussia declares that she would only accept a project of reform whereby the members of the house of popular delegates would be chosen by direct election, and co-operate with the Upper House in passing resolutions. The rumoers current yeiiterday - that Wurtemberg, Hanover, and Saxony bad absolutely rejected the reforms proposed by Austria were unfounded, as it appears that only a few details of the propositions of Austria had been rejected. ITALY. TURIN, Avouer zt The Stampa of to-day publishes an article upon the new law for the suppression of brigandage pro- mulgated yesterday, and regrets that certain special conditions connected with public safety have com pelled the government to declare eleven provinces infested by brigandage, although all of them are not equally agitated. The Stampa continues:— "The minister is preparing the way for the execu tion of the law, and very shortly special tribunals will be instituted, juntas established, the relations between the civil and military authorities regulated, and volunteers enrolled." The Stamp.] further pointa ont the advantage which may be expected from the voluntary enlist- ment of riflemen. It conclude; by saying :—" The political character of brigandage has almost disap peared, and would disappear entirely if Francis IL were driven from Rome, if Italy recovered her capital, and confides in the efficacy of the new measures." TURIN, AUGUST 23. The railway from Castel Borghese to Ravenoa was opened to-day in the presence of • large con course of people. Prince Carignan and the Minis tees Atinghetti, Perusal, and Idenabrea, were en thusiastically cheered. The plans of the Sardinian Railway will be ap proved by the government in a few days. Signor Maaeari's report on brigandage has been published, and produced a great sensation. it clearly proves the complicity of the Roman govern ment. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. CRACOW, doom 22. A convoy of 47 condemned persons have been transported to Siberia. The engineer Zeglinski was hanged at Gledamek, on the 17th. The pretext for his execution is un known. MYSLOWITZ, AUGUST 22. The railway communication between Warsaw and Zombkorrie, near the Prussian frontier, has been interrupted. The insurgents have destroyed six bridges, and interrupted telegraphic communication. DENMARK. KIEL, Acouer 23. The committee of the University of Kiel have given their decision upon the constitutional con diet between the German majority of the Schleswig Diet and the government commissioners. The award at the committee considers the govern ment commissioners not justified in preventing the Diet from deciding upon the validity of the elections. SPAIN. MADRID, Amour 22. The liberals in Catalonia refuse to follow the advice of General Prim on the subject of the elec tions. The King is still at (Innis, and continues very ill.

FRANCE. (most ova owe coaszseoesszst.) ilarcaaae Enorera. Despatches from Roam were received yesterday, and sent o ff to the Emperor a t Ch a lons by a special. courier. Prince Gortchakoff shows himself to be in no harry whatever to rep ly to the despatch of the three powers with the identical conclusion," which you will have bad telegraphed from the Courtier du Di/attache. The French official press has been quite out in its calculations on this sub ject. It fixed the 12th, and then the 13th, as the day on which the despatches would be delivered at St. Petersburg. Now, we are on the 22nd, and the news is that Prince lortchakoff has fixed no day for their reception. The Czar instead of troubling himself about diplomatic notes, is inspecting . his fortifications. The nation takes upon itself to say that Russia will not reply to the despatches till next month. The Emperor prolongs his stay at the Chalons camp a day longer than was intended, and will not be at St. Cloud till Wednesday. On Thursday he will preside at a Cabinet Council, which is ex pected to be particularly important, because all the ministers, many of whom would naturally be holiday making at this time of the year, are ordered ,not to go far away from Paris. K Fould, who for tea years has never failed to preside over the council-general of Tarbes, has this year appointed' a deputy, "being retained in Parrs on the Em peeor's service. M. Drouyn de Lbuys, re nouncing the conge which be wanted to go tq is merely going to take a short run to the council general at Lon ; and it is announced that M. Boudet, the Minister of the Interior (who intends to open in person the council-general at Laval), will be absent so short a time that the appointment of • minister ad interim will not be necessary. Mr. Slidell, the Confederate envoy, had long interviews with M. Drouyn de Lhuys on Thursday and Friday. It is confirmed that the Emperor and Empress will go to Biarritz about the 29th or 30th instant,but it is thought they will not stay there so long as in former years. Baron Ricasoli has arrived in Paris, but only, I believe, for treatment of a long standing malady of his eyes, and not with a view to sup negotiation withthe French government about the eventuality of his again becoming Victor Emmanuel's prime minister. Two more prosecuted journals, the Journal det Haut Rhin and the Journal de Bedfurt, have been ac quitted. These repeated refusals of the judges to sanction press prosecutions are highly significant. The Ville de Paris, bearing the lag of Vice- Admiral Rigault de Genonilly, commanding the squadron of evolution now at Ajaocio, has so se verely damaged her engine that it has been found necessary to send her to Toulon for repairs. The admiral will probably go on board the Alexandre, and remain in the Ajaccio roads till the end of the fine season. The Moire, iron-clad frigate, has just relieved the Castiglione in this squadron, and has taken a considerable part of the crew. The Cas tiglione will go to Toulon to be disarmed, pursuant to the new regulations, according to which the num ber of wooden ships in the navy is to be gradually diminished in proportion to the number of iron clads built to take their places. AMERICA. Tberoyal mail steam-ship Bootie, Captain C. B. Z. Judkins, which sailed from New York on the 12th instant, arrived in the Mersey on Saturday morn ing, rid Queenstown, where she landed mails and passengers. Governor Seymour having written a long letter to President Lincoln, requesting that the conscrip tion might be suspended in New York, the follow ing answer has been sent to him, in which, as will be men, the President intimates that his wishes cannot be gratified. Executive Manakin, Washington, August 7. Me Excellency Horatio Seymour, Governor of New Yet*, Albany, N.Y.—Your ooMnealliCatioll of the 3rd instant has been received and attentively 000sidered. cannot consent to suspend the draft is New York, as you request, becalm, among other reasons, time is too important. By the Imes you send, which I proems are correct, the twain" districts represented fall in two classes of eight and four respectively. The disparity of the quotas for the draft in these two clams is certainly vary striking, being the difference between an average of 2.200 in one class and 4,864 in the other. Airman that the districts are equal cue to another in entire population, as required by the plan os which they were made, this disparity is such as tnerequire attention. Much of it, however, I suppose, will be mounted for by the fact that so many more preens At for soldiers are in the city than are I. the country, who have too recently arrived from other parts of the United States and from Europe to be either included in the ceases of 1860, or to bare voted in 1862. Still, making due allow ances for this, I am yet unwilling to stand upon it se an en tirely sufficient explanation of the great disparity. I shall direct the draft I. proceed in all the dirk** thawing, however, at first from sack of the four districts, to wit; the Second, Fourth, Sixth, sad Eighth, only 2,200, being the average quota of the other ekes. After this drawing, than four districts, and also the Seventeenth and Twenty-ninth, shall be carefully re-enrolled, sad, if you please, agerita of yours may witness every step of the orgasms. Any deficiency which may appear by the new enrolment will be supplied 11l a special draft for that object, allowing due credit for vir knitters who may be obtained from theme districts renew lively during the interval ; and at all points, so far am con sistent with praoeioal oouvwisnoe, doe credits shall be gives for volunteers, and your excellency shall be notified of the time fixed for commencing • draft in each district. I do not object to abide a decision of the United States Supreme Court, or of the judges thereof, on the coluditution silty of the draft law. In fact, I should be willing to facilitate the obtaining of it. Bat I cannot went to lose the time while it i being obtained. Ws are onntending with an enemy who, as I understand, drives every able-bodied man he can reach into his ranks, very much as • butcher drives bullocks into a slaughter pen. No time is wasted, ne argument is used. This produces an army which will soon tern open oar now viatorioue soldiers already in the field, if they shall sot be sustained by recruits as they should be. It produces an army with a rapidity not to be matched on our side, if n first waste time to rtexperintent with the volunteer system, already deemed by Congress, and palpably, in fact, so far exhausted as to be inadequate, and then more time to obtain a court decision as to whether a law is oar. @Motional, which requires a part of thou not now in the semi,* to go to the aid of the., who are already in it ; and still more time to determine with absolutes certainty that we get those who are to go, in the precisely legal proportion to time who are not togo. My papoose is to be in my action just and constitutional, and yet practical, in performing the important duty with which I am charged, of maintaining the unity and the free principles of our common country.—Yolir obedient servant. A. Liscou. The following is a second letter from the Presi dent to Governor Seymour upon the same subject : Executive Mansion, Washington, August 11,1.861. To his Facellenee Horatio Seymour, Governor of New Tagil. Tours el the fltla with Jedge-Advostekleeeral Water bury's:sport, was meshed M-day. Asking you M renameber that I oomider time as beiag very important, both to the general came of the country aid to the soldiers in the field, I beg to remind you that I waited at your request from the Ist until the 6th instant to receive your communicaticn dated the led. In view of its great length, and the known time and apparent are taken in its preparative, I did not doubt that it oontaised your full case as you desired to present it. It oontained the figures for twelve districts. omitting the other nineteen, as I supposed bemuse you found nothing to complain of as to them. I answered accordingly. In doing to I laid down the principle to which I purpose ad hering, which is, to proceed with the draft, at the same time employing infallible slam to avoid any great wrong. With the cominneication recei►ed to-day you send figures for twenty-eight districts, includiag the twelve sent before, and still omitting three, for which I suppose the enrolments are not yet received. In looking over the fuller list of twenty-eight districts, I find that the quotas for sixteen of them are above 2,000 and below 2,700, while of the rest six are above 2,700 and six are below 2,000. Applying the principle to these new foots, the Fifth and Seventh districts' must be added to the Mar in which the quotas have already bees reduced to 2,200 for the first draft ; and with these hut others must be added to those to be enrolled. The coned mse will then stand : The quotas of the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, aid Eighth districts, fixed at 2,200 for the first draft. The Provost- Marshal-General informs me that the drawing is already completed in the Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Twenty-second, Twecty-fourth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty. seventh, Twenty-eighth, Twenty-ninth, and Thirtieth dis. trims. In the others, except the three outstanding, the drawing will be made upon the quotas as now fixed. After the first draft, the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Smooth Eighth, Sixteenth, Sevenths**, Twenty-first, Twenty-fifth, Twenty-ninth, and Thirty-first will be re-enrolled, for the purpose and in the manner stated in my letter of the 7th inst. The samB principle will be applied to the now out standing districts when they shall come in. No part of my former letter is repudiated by nation of not being restated in this, or for any other came. —Your obedient garnet, A. Laacoix. Some months sines the gunboat Isaac Smith was captured by the Confederates in the Stone river. Among the prisoners taken were three coloured men. At the time the officers of the gunboat were released these men were in close confinement, and their release was refused, and has never been granted. Upon the authoritative declaration of the policy of the Federal government in such cases, the Secretary of the Navy called the attention of Mr. Stanton to their case, and it will be seen that he makes it the occasion of a prompt enforcement of the order. The President is evidently deter mined that the rights, as prisoners of war of all who are captured while in the service of the United States shall be respected, irrespective of colour, otherwise the sternest retaliation will be exacted. War Department, Washington City August 8, 1863. Sir,—Your letter of the 3rd inst., calling the atteotioe of this department to the eases of Orin H. Brown, William H. Johnson, and William Wilson, three coloured men cap tured on the gunboat Isaac Smith, has received considera tion. This department has directed that three rebel pri soners of South Carolina, if there be any such in our pos session—and if not, three others—be confined in close cus tody, and held as hostages for Brown, Johnsoo, sod Wil son, and that the fact be communicated to the rebel autho rities at Itichmood.—Very respectfully your obedient sa vant, Entrur M. Breams, Secretary of War. Hon. Gideon Walla, Secretary of the Navy. The condition of military affairs is commented upon an follows by the Wautinjton Star of the 10th inst. : We are able to sawn the public that the military prospect in every quarter is all that no be desired. AS the information that bas reached here during the last forty. eight bows treats almost exclusively of details that can not prudently be published, we are not at liberty to print it, but bare no hesitation in stating that at no former period of the war bare our military affairs been in so pro mising a conditioe as ►t present. Perhaps a thoomod oak scripts a day are already joining the army of the Potomac. In a week the camber reaching it daily will be greater, we apprehend. They go farmed In expensed spirits, and bid fair to make admirable soldiers in a very brief time. The news from Charleston is favourable. Every- [Stamped, Id. Additional.] thing goes on well The position of General Gill more on Morris Island is said to be stronger and safer than ever. Although the Confederates keep pouring in shell from Forte Wagner, Sumter, and other fortifications, the protection to the Federal troop; is so eomplete that their casualties for many days bad been hardly worth noticing. The new Irousides participated in the recent cannonade on Fort Wagner, and finally silenced the Confede rate guns.

We learn from Baden that the King of Saxony will return to Frankfort to-day, bringing the re fusal of the King of Prussia to participate in the Conference of Princes.

A QUASI-CONTEDISILATI Aoxyr.—During eight or ten days past there has been sojourning at Quaenntowu a rather young man, of seelarieg aspect, giving his name as "Captain radier," who has succeeded in gulling the knowing noes of the town to an extent that no person powering an browledge of them would have given them credit for. From the time of his arrival till the moment of his departure he has played the pert of confidential agent of the Confederate Government of South America, and such has been the tact and ability with which he has worn the mask, that seams one of those who held most familiar wavers with his, had, up to the last moment, the slightest suspicion of its reality. The local " authorities appear to have fallen victims to the hoax played by " Captain Fiera" as eompletely as the brat informed of those who made his acquaintance. He was lionized by • large section of the respectable townspeople, and hotel proprietors felt themselves honoured byMin`` permitted to bold him their debtor. " Captain Fable' also appears to have bad • sort of prescriptive right to the use of everybody else's property, be the erne aa overcoat, an opera gimes, a Malacca cane. or a 10/, note,tt mattered not. Soddenly, however, " Captain Fisher," 000ldential agent to the Confederate government, withdrew his premier, in a meatier most unceremonious from amoopt his large circle of Qneenstown acquaint awes and admirers—fortunately for himself, just iu time to escape the ooesequences of the dO , onowerit which was Impending.

The terminus of the Direct Railway, however, chanced to fall in his way withis the hour stipulated, and "Captain Fisher" found it more coevenieat to proceed to Cr* than to return to meet the numerous friends wbo would, doubtless, be anxious to say good morning to him at the hotel.

PROGRESS OP iormr-srocir BANKING. In the pamphlet by Mr. Henry Ayres, ma Beaks and Basking under the two systems now existing, of limited and unlimited liability, some interesting records of the progress of joint-stock banking from the close of the seventeenth century are furnished, of which a brief abstract may be generally useful on a subject with which the public are not usually well acquainted. The Bank of Ragland was the first bank founded on the joint-stock system, in the year 16114, and fora considerable time subsequently what were known as private banks were conducted upon uo settled bases. in 1704 a charter was granted to a oompany idled " The Nina Adventurers of England," who artabllabad *MMus into • bank, issued their own notes, and ousted an a most extensive system of fraudulent tranudioes, which finally terminated in s suspension of perinea. The minigatiry panic of 1825 again id the public to the octhiciaration of i banking, aid the privilege of issuing bask notes payable on demand. It bad bees fated that during the war which ocannespeed in 1793, the withdrawal et specie had mated sea • numity of the eironlatimg medium, that the govern' mast and the country bad berme placed in the greatest dd. Amnia, and the Bank had " resolved muninionmly " motto discharge the bills due as the Treasury on the 3rd of February, 1796. In April of the same year a number of bankers and In met at the London Tavern, and passed a resolution against " an alarming scarcity ot= the City of London ;" and that " this momity p chiefly, If not entirely, from an inmate in the emealkseeM of the country, and from a diminution la the me until* discounts which the Bank of England has thought proper to introduce into the theduct d the establishment during the last three months." In 1826, the first glimpse of freedom in banking began to exhibit itself. Is this year was Fused the 7th Geo. IV. cap. 46, by which joint-stock banks could be established as beaks of issue, after being prohibited 118 years. Bet them baths could not come newer to London than by a tedium al 115 miles in all directions ; no agents of such banks were allowed in Lon don ; nor were they permitted " to borrow, draw, or take op in London, or within 66 miles thereof, any sums of money o their bills or notes, payable on asman4 or at ant time less than Ric months from the time Pf By this set the Bank of England was bet emt=io establish branches in any part of England. In 1833 another advance was made by the joint-stock hanks ; they min allowed for the Beet time to have agents in Load= =r • the e of the Bank of England with regard to pa six is samba was abolishad ; and Beak of Eng land notes were fiat made • legal team for all sums above K, except at the Bask and Its breathes. It was ander Ude act that joint-stock Make were first permitted in London. The year 1833 was the othimeecemest of • new epoch in joist-stock banking ; joint-stook banks were permitted to be established within the radium of 65 miles from London. The Loadou and Westminster Bank took the lead in this new movement, and began business in March, 1834. The Loudon Joint-Stock Bank, the London and County, the Union Bank of London, and the Commercial Bank soon followed in the train, to be succeeded by several others, whose career has been equally narked by success; hut it will be sufficient for the present purpose to have romans only to those joint-stock banks that were first established in London, under this change in the law, to exhibit the remarkable degree of prosperity which they have enjoyed. Taking the amount of deposit. and current accounts as the surest evidence of public ooefidencir, the following este mut shows the amount held by the four oldest joint-stock banks at each quinquennial period from 1840 to 1860: Loudon and Westminster Londortioint Loadonsad Quinn Bank 1860 21,911.646 11 170,9133 f,437,903 1377,766 ti,549,11111 1845.. 4506,014 i 504470 1,480,736 2,012,643 9,562,776 1850.. 3,169,644 4940.060 towns 2. 9 14616 11 • 23 6.61 4 9356.. 5.1 , 14,648 6,241,694 4,642,430 8,368.4011 17,214,996 12130-12,434,464 10,603,656 6,652,614 10,362,703 38.732,428 The seat itest is the success of jointroek hasidr is to be found is it. profits Taking the foss joist-stock rake is furred to above. at the err periods, their mite pregrered r Moos London and London London and taro • - - - JoiTaiak - 7;Zt7 - Bank Total Bank.

In 1844 • new law for the goverment of joist-stock beak', the 7th sod Bth Viet., cap. 113, was paned. Under this law,hfter the 6th of May, 1844, so joint. stock bank could he established except "by virtue et letters patent," that is, by the old charter system of petitioning her Majesty in Coruna ; such charter to be granted on the report of the Board of Trade, when the Lords of the Com. mates bad reported to her Majesty that the act had bean ono plied with, and with "the advice of her Majesty is Council." The extraordinary meincile of Um Royal British Beak in duced the public to reflect a little upon the system of charters, and unlimited liability in Waking ; bat the legis lature in 1857 enacted a sew basks( law, 21) sad 21 Viet., esp. 49, which repealed the 7 and 8 Vict.., cep. 113, re nerving the favourite proviso, " that no existing or future banking company shall be registered sea limited company." In the following year, however (1858), the 21 sad 22 Viet., cap. 91, which "enabled joint-stock banking companies to be formed on the principle of limited liability," was sad those banks that had been established under us= liability could register under limited liability, by conforming to certain regulation. ; but sot one e( the London joist stock banks established in London under the principle of unlimited liability has registered under this act; and it is only within • recent period that joint-stack beaks established in Loodoe and elsewhere, have adopted the principle of limited liability. Until the year 1862 the law of limited liability appears to have remained almost • dead letter ; but the accumulation of unemployed capital and the low rate of intermit charged by the Beak of Reiland gave an impetus to speculative trasatetiose is sew basks that had not been equalled since 1825 sod 1826, but limited liability in banking leas now become the rale and act the exception. By • ;Athenian tray Mars recently issued the number of proposed joist stook basks • red under limited liability in 1862 wee 37, with • somiri capital of 33 919 ; of this number only two an returned as "dissolved ;" how ninny more will come under this designation is a garden for time to determine. One of the most remarkable hots commend with our in creased ootomeroe is shown is the movements of the precious metals. Unfortunately our statistics are not complete on this subject for several yeass after the discovery of gold ; but it is well known that this discovery has led to • very great isersese in the metallic eirealatioe of the eounti7.
