PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Auotrer 16. The King held military conference from 10 a. m. to 1 p.m. to-day with General von Roon, the Mi nister of War, Count Moltke, and General Alvena leben. _ After the cabinet council held yesterday after noon Count von Bismarck had an audience of the King. The count afterwards visited Herr von der Pfordten, the Bavarian Minister for Foreign Affairs, with whom he had a long interview. The Queen of Prussia reached Cobbs at noon to-day. Her Majesty will remain in that city until the day previous to the triumphal entry of the troops into Berlin. A file took place to-day in Krolls-garden, in honour of Count von Bismarck and Generals von goon and von Moltke. All the ministers and nearly a thousand persons belonging to all classes and par ties sat down to dinner. Count von Stolberg pro posed the health of the King. The chief burgo master von Seidel proposed the health of Count von Bismarck and Generals von Boon and von Moltke. General Bread drank to the army. Count von Bis marck returned thanks in his own name and on behalf of the two generals, and proposed in return the City of Berlin. Great enthusiasm prevailed during the proceedings. THE AUSTRIANS IN THE TYROL. VIENNA, AUGUST la. The statements made by some of the Florence newspapers that after the withdrawal of the Italian troops from the Trent district the Austrians took vengeance upon the inhabitants by plundering houses, &c., is entirely unfounded. Nothing of tho kind has occurred in the Tyrol during the entire campaign. Upon the discharge of the Landsturm the men returned quietly to their homes. After the entrance of the Austrian troops into the Trent district the former public authorities were reinstated in their posts, and a few isolated arrests for high treason and offences against the crown took place in due legal course. The recep tion afforded to the Imperial troops was of the most cordial character, and public order was nowhere disturbed. THE INSURRECTION IN CANDIA. AUGUST 1& Advice. received here from Candice state that the Turks had rejected all the demands made by the Cretans. Insurrectionary assemblages had conse quently taken place, and the insurgents were already masters of the country districts. They had proclaimed their independence, and displayed the Greek flag, together with those of the three protecting powers of Greece. The Turks were awaiting reinforcements. THE PARIS BOURSE.

We, in corn mon with a large portion of your fellow-countrymen, are impressed with the conviction that by your firmness and determination, joined to that prompt action which alone makes a man in authority equal to the occasion, you saved an important British colony, protected the lives and property of the loyal colonists, and saved Jamaica from an ordeal, the memory of which no time would have effaced. We cannot but regret that, dependent as you were for the execution of the intricate and delicate duties devolving upon so many parties, on whom you were aim ' pelled to rely, some circumstances occurred that all men must deplore, but the sudden and horrible commencement i of the outbreak proved too exciting for men of lesser judg -1 ment and experience than yourself, and excesses were, no doubt, committed that have been brought to bear us ' favourably upon you ; but no one competent to • judge believes that you were actuated by other ' 1 than the most honourable and praiseworthy inters- LAITUE.—The LETTUCE contains an active tions, by a devoted loyalty to your sovereign and pie the Latucine, which powders all the country, as well as a fixed determination to preserve ofoplum without itadangere—Mr. O.

GREAT YARMOUTH ELECTION COMMISSION. GREAT YARMOUTH, Auourr 16. The commissioners appointed to inquire into corrupt practices at the last and previous elections for members to serve in parliament for this borough com menced their sittings this morning, at the Town-hall. The commissioners are Mr. Wyndham Slade, Mr. Lucius Henry Fitagersld, and Mr. George Rummell. There was not at first a very large attendance of the general public, but the audience increased as the proceedings went on.. The Chief Commissioner (Mr. Slade) having briefly opened the proceedings, Mr. C. J. Palmer, who acted as returning officer at the last election, state d the names of the candidates and the number of votes polled for each. He was also examined as to previous elections from the passing of the Reform Bill. I A petition was presented against the return in 1837 which was compromised by Mr. Wiltshire's retirement. In 1847, in consequence of the election, the freemen of the borough were disfranchised by special act of par liament. In 1848 an election took place in consequence of the previous members being un seated. In 1852 there was a petition, but it failed on some tee . hnical point. The election in 1&57 was declared void on petition. At the last election the expenses of Lacon and Goodson were returned at 8831. We. 11(1.; of Brogden and Vanderbyl, at 6431. 13e.; and of Marshman, at 10/L 15e. Bd. ; but he should say these amounts did not include all the expenses. He should think that the ex pense of elections had increased of late years, but he never heard that the last election oast the candidates 15,0001. He had heard that it cost a great deal. Mr. C. Cory, the town-clerk, said the legal expenses of an election in Yarmouth would be 8001. to 1,000/. on each side. Mr. Goodson was at the time of the last election chairman of the Greet Eastern Railway Company, and it was thought his support would be valuable to the town, putting politics aside. He had heard a number reports about corrupt practices, but was able to give no information ly upon the subject. He had heard that votes were L >e o l l7imgr l back. Mr. J. Mires, a solicitor, of Yarmouth, who was the legal agent of the liberal candidate at the last election, said he was one of the petitioners against the return, and in taking that course he had no Moon to fear recrimination on the other side. The cases which came out before the committee were selected by counsel, and were only a small proportion of the eases which had been preps and he considered that corrupt practices had generally been resorted to in the borough, and on both sides. Be heard Mr. Marshman say that the refusals to promise exceeded the promises, and that was one ground of his retirement from the field. (Laughter.) Mr. J. Scott, a magistrate who also signed the petition, said he did not think there was any case of bribery on the liberal side till after the election, but since then he had heard that there had been cases. Mr. Blake, merchant and shipowner, was next ex amined, afte r which the inquiry was adjourned. NB. SCHOLEFIELD, N.P., ON PINANCJ At a dinner at Birmingham on Wednesday evening, b Mr. Scholefield, M.P., in returning thanks for the and county members, said there were one or two matters upon which he thought he might be permitted fir say • few words, and which required the attention of • meeting like the present. They were all interested in a lighter taxation than that which they bad to ray a= sent, and they were also interested in obtaining • system of banking than that which at present obtained. (Loud cheers.) He was not going to talk upon the abased question of banking, because he would always hesitate to express an opinion upon a subject which had limn= to be transcendently difficult, and which had bothered the heads of the wisest et men ; he attended with a deputation from Hamitic ham the other day at an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer—and he was not gang to tell what took place, because really the Chancellor said nothing— (laughter) —on which OCCILZiOTI the members ef the depu tation argued with Mr. Disraeli—as they thought, with verb great success—but he was afraid they were better satisfied with their own arguments than the right hon. man was, judging from his language. (" Hear," and laughter.) He must say that Mr. Disraeli listened to the* with great patience ; but since then he (Mr. ficholefield) saw that in one of the morning papers they were denounced as a body of freetraders, going to invoke the aid of govern ment to put matters straight, when, in point of fact, they themselves had been in the wrong. Amami* that this was tree, and that they were freetraders, what be mid was that they wanted a little free trade in Nank ing. (Loud thous.) He wafer* that—without goieg into the question of the Bank of England—he was heartily sick of its °pastiest, and he should think the people of this country were to also, when fee menthe together the Bank of England maintained the rate of die. count at 10 per cent., and within twenty , five miles of the coast of this country the Bank of Frame and its branches were only charging 3i per cent. This in itself, whatever crotchets • man migh have on the currency question, area a condemnation of our English system of banking opera tions. (Cheers.) He would take another instance, that of America. (Hear, hear.) Amami, with. great vox whielt lasted three years, and an amount of debt larger than our own in point of the interest paid, and almost as large as our own in the capital, was yet a country in which, at the pm seat moment, they beard of no financial difieulties, and as commercial dimes--in fact, everything seemed to work comparatively easily, and they had • discount of only 6 per Bent.--(hear , bea m -- while here in England, with none of the difficulties enumerated to trammel them, they were paying 10 per cent. Sorel) there mart be some thing wrong here—(applause)--and when he was told they were &winders he said, " Give us an opportunity of having a little free trade in banking." (Chews.) The American system had this immense advantage—it allowed any man to set up a bank who would place in the hands of the government Slate stocks or Federal stooks equivalent to the amount of his issue ; and he wanted to know why they should confide to the Bank of England the sole power of issuing bank notes if they could have notes quite as good issued by anyone who chose to hand over to tbe govern ment an amount of Consols, with a margin of security for the payment of the notes. Why should not he, or any other man, if he chose to deposit 160,000 f. worth ci Consols, be allowed to assist the commerce of the country by issuing notes to the extent of 100,000 1 . on the security of his Consols? (Hear hear.) He thought : it behoved them to tun their atten tion to this question, for they might depend upon it that if the present banking system was not altered the time was not far distant when the com merce of England would again be affected financially as it was at the present time. There was one other point upon which he might be allowed to speak, because it was • startling one in regard to the taxation of the country. Many of those present 'midst have noticed the sawyer given by the present First Lord of the Admiralty to a question as to the navy mane, but he did not think that answer bad been properly appreciated by the people of this country. They knew very well that during the last six or seven years they had had a vast expenditure on the navy, and he himself had—whilst he believed strictly in economy—never, and would never, vote for a reduction of the army and na7 estimates below • point which would keep both forces in a state of effi ciency. (Hear, bear.) This being so, be thought the an swer of Sir John Palungton would startle the people of this country. During the six or seven years he had re ferred to there had been expended on the navy some 10,000,00 W., and yet within three days of the prorogation of parliament the First Lord of the Admiralty, in answer to a question as to the names of the ships forming the naval reserve, mid he would rather not give the names of the vessels, because he was ashamed to say their number was so small that they had not • sufficient number to relieve the ships returning to this country from foreign stations. To him the statement was perfectly stealing, and the House of Commons was so taken aback that nobody answered it or made any remark, because they were so near the termination of the session. But before parliament reassembled he thought the people ought to inquire what had become of the 10,000,000/. of money. (Cheers.) He believed every department of the govern ment was managed as honestly as it was possible for it to be ; but he believed there was an amount of incompetenoe and almost imbecility, of confused accounts, and of reckless extravagance, to be found in the navy depart ment which was not to be found in any other part of the government adminstration. (Hear, hear.) In the next session of parliament it was necessary to see to it, that if 10,000,00 W. of money was not seffithent to enable the country to have • navy reserve, they bad better give up the navy and save the money ,• for should war come urma us, though no doubt we should scuffle through it as English men always did, it would only be dune by indomitable courage, and not by having an efficient armament.
